[Zope] Re: [Zope-Annce] [Ann] Zope 2.8.7 released

[John Schinnerer]

Aloha,

I was just preparing to move to 2.8.6 (from 2.7.5).
A big part of my moving to 2.8.x is for supporting plone 2.1.x.

Is 2.8.7 still fine with plone 2.1.x?
Yes I am asking on plone list also...want to know from both sides of the 
equation... :-)

thanks,
John S.
