Hello all -

  Zope 2.3.0 beta 2 is now available. You can download it 
  from Zope.org:

  http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.3.0b2/

  Highlights of the beta 2 release:

    - Changed the implementation of emergency_user to be backward 
      compatible with the expectations of third-party user folders. 
      All third party user folders should now work with Zope 2.3 without
      modification.

    - Zope is now much more tolerant of dependency problems in ZClasses. 
      Some people were experiencing problems porting Products to upgraded
      Zope sites when their products contained ZClasses derived from 
      base classes in other products (which may or may not have been  
      installed on the new site). Zope is now much smarter about 
      managing and recovering from failed base class dependencies and 
      will re-register broken ZClasses when the missing Product causing
      the problem is installed.

    - Fixes for several other (more minor) bugs reported from beta 1
