[Zope] FYI: Zope 2.6.1 beta 1 today...

[Brian Lloyd]

Hi all - 

We're planning on releasing a Zope 2.6.1 b1 today, and I wanted to 
give the dev folks a heads-up and let people know the plan for 
getting to 2.6.1 final.

The release today will contain some ZODB / ZEO fixes as well as 
the datetime fix and some other fixes added since 2.6.0. We will 
be having a "bug day" next Tuesday, and the goal will be that those 
fixes will also go into the Zope-2_6-branch to be included in a 
2.6.1 beta 2 to be release hopefully around the end of next week.

Assuming there are no issues with the b2 release, we'll plan on 
making it final a week or so after that for a late xmas present :) 

This schedule should also provide enough time for the valiant 
volunteers working on the 2.6.1 version of the Zope Book to 
finalize things for the release.
