[Matthew T. Kromer]

      ZOPE 2.6.2 Beta 5 Released

Zope 2.6.2b5 represents a development step in the next Zope release 
formed with a large number of community contributions. You may download 
Zope 2.6.2b5 from Zope.org:

http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.6.2b5/

Users of the Zope source release should note that Python 2.1.3 is now 
the required platform. Python 2.1.3 includes a fix to an issue that 
could cause crashes in Zope.

Users who upgrade from source MUST RUN a |make clean| and |make| command 
to build the proper binaries correctly; distutils will skip compilation 
of the library modules needed for Zope and will cause errors if they are 
not up to date.

Particular features of interest in Zope 2.6.2b5:

    *

      Fixed an error where ZClasses that subclassed ObjectManager would
      not load.

    *

      Fixed a case where objects trying to check access rights on behalf
      of another user were unable to do so.

    *

      Fixed memory leak with Page Templates

    *

      Python 2.2 compatibility fixes

    *

      Back ports of BTrees fixes

    *

      Back ports of ZODB fixes relating to the packing of storage, where
      a packed database could contain an UNDO transaction which referred
      to data which had been discarded by the pack

    *

      A fix for fsrecover.py which prevented it from recovering any data

    *

      Fixes for collector issues 256, 514, 683, 814, 816, 823, 875, 882,
