-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Zope 2.8.8 Released
On behalf of Zope Corporation and the Zope community I am pleased to announce the release of Zope 2.8.8. You can download the sources from "http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.8/", http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.8 This bugfix release corrects the information exposure vulnerability addressed in the "2007/07/05 Hotfix.", http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix-2006-07-05 You may remove that hotvix product from your instances after upgrading to this version of Zope. New features of Zope 2.8.x - ZODB 3.4 with MVCC (multi version concurrency control) support. MVCC solves nearly every problem with ZODB read-conflict errors which is very important for high-traffic Zope sites. - Extension Classes were rewritten as Python new-style classes making all features of Python new-style classes available in Zope objects. This includes support for cyclic garbage collection. - Integration of Zope 3 technologies through Five (see http://codespeak.net/z3/five/) More Information For more information on what is new in this release, see the CHANGES.txt files for the release: "http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.8/CHANGES.txt", http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.8/CHANGES.txt See also: "http://www.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/Zope2.8/OverView" http://www.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/Zope2.8/OverView For more information on the available Zope releases, guidance for selecting the right distribution and installation instructions, please see: "http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/InstallingZope.stx", http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/InstallingZope.stx Reporting Bugs Please report all the bugs you have found to the Zope bugtracker: "http://collector.zope.org/Zope", http://collector.zope.org/Zope Supported Python versions At this time the only **supported** and **recommended** Python versions are 2.3.4 and 2.3.5. Using Python 2.4.X is **not supported** and **not recommended** at this time. Python 2.4.X will be supported when a security audit takes place. This means that you are using Python 2.4 + Zope 2.8 at **your own risk**. This warning also applies to binary packages that install Zope packages together with a system wide Python 2.4 installation (e.g. Fedora, SuSE...). Such installations are in general not supported. In addition there some third-party products and Python packages that don't work with Python 2.4 and can cause trouble when using Python 2.4.
