[Matthew T. Kromer]

      ZOPE 2.6.2 Beta 2 Released

Zope 2.6.2b2 represents a development step in the next Zope release 
formed with a large number of community contributions. You may download 
Zope 2.6.2b2 from Zope.org:

http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.6.2b2/

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 2.6.2b2:

    *

      Reductions in Conflict Errors with Sessions

    *

      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, 683, 814, 816, 875, 892
