Yes, it has happened. That doesn't mean all 24 chapters are invalid now. 
API-wise Zope 3.4 has very very little changes compared to Zope 3.3, so 
the 2nd edition is still good. Just don't take the chapter on Installing 
Zope for granted. My suggestion is to use zopeproject which I've tried 
to document extensively: http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/zopeproject.
