[Zope] Handling objects versions

Dunno about all of these, but the only thing I know existing is

It should be pretty much implemented, though I've never used it naked. 
If it doesn't do what you want, you'll probably have to go it yourself, 
which may not be too hard if you have a subset of the general operations 
of versioning to support.
