-      Features Added
-
-        - Make ZClasses navigable to FTP/WebDAV; implement 'PUT_factory'
-          hook to create PythonScripts (for MIMEtype 'text/x-python')
-          and DTMLMethods (for other 'text' MIMEtypes) (Collector #998).
-
-      Bugs Fixed
-
-        - Mechanisms in the underbelly of the Catalog and Globbing
-          Lexicon (which is the default for all new Catalogs) has been
-          overhauled given substantial performance increases.  On
-          simple queries, performance should double (or more) in many
-          situations, whereas with globbed queries it may increase by
-          substantially more.
-
-    Zope 2.3.0 beta 1
-
-      Features Added
-
-        - Added a hook that allows user folders to provide a logout
-          action.
-
-        - Added a browser preferences screen to allow people to 
-          tweak the management UI to their liking. For the folks who 
-          complained that they didn't like the new top frame, they 
-          can (among other things) turn it off from the browser 
-          preferences screen.
-
-        - Added Michel's new QuickStart material. I haven't quite 
-          decided whether the old QuickStart should go away or 
-          stay around as a source of examples.
-
-        - The logout function has been implemented in a fairly minimal 
-          way. We may try to make this nicer by final if we get time.
-
-        - The ZCatalog interface is now cleaned up and matches the new 
-          interface look and feel better. In addition some logical
-          reorganization was made to move things onto an Advanced tab.
-
-        - Result sets from the Catalog are now much Lazier, and will
-          do concatenation with eachother in a lazy fashion.  This was
-          suggested by Casey Duncan in Collector #1712.
-
       Bugs Fixed
 
-        - Added a deprecated alias to UnrestrictedUser, Super, for use
-          by user folder products that depend on the old class name.
-
-        - Fixed path for management interface files used for
-          CatalogPathAwareness and Aqueduct.
-
-        - Fixed a NameError in HTTPRequest.
-
-        - Made manage_page_style.css correctly available to all.
-
-        - ZCatalog objects now show up in the Add List in the same
-          naming convention that was used for all other Z* objects.
-          This does *not* affect the meta_type that is actually used
-          for the object itself.
-
-        - (Collector #1835, 1820, 1826) Eliminated errors in both
-          Field and Keyword indexes where old keys might show up in
-          'uniqueValuesFor()' because of the way the data structures
-          were kept around.
-
-        - (Collector #1823)Eliminated situation where if the Catalog
-          did not have a metadata record for 'meta_type' the Cataloged
-          Objects view would be incorrect and list everything as a
-          'ZCatalog'. Now it simply lists it as 'Unknown'.
-
-        - (Collector #1844) On the brains returned from ZCatalog
-          queries, 'getObject()' now tries to resolve URLs as well as
-          paths.  This should catch more cases.
-
-        - Tags generated for ImageFile objects attempted to use 
-          title_or_id(), which is not defined for those objects.
-
-        - Mounting now fails gracefully in when getId() is not
-          available in the mounted object.
-
-    Zope 2.3.0 alpha 2
-
-      Features Added
-
-        - The install machinery for source release has been modified 
-          to allow Zope to build out of the box for Python 2.0. Note 
-          however, that Python 2.0 is still not officially supported. 
-          You may see quite a few warnings from the extension builder 
-          when compiling for Python 2.
-
-        - A new module, AccessControl.Permissions has been added to 
-          make it easier to use the new security assertion spelling. 
-          The new module provides consistent symbolic constants for 
-          the standard Zope permissions.
-
-        - Cache manager support added.  This allows site administrators
-          to ease the burden on their site in a very configurable
-          way.  It also provides an API for developers to follow when
-          experimenting with caching strategies.
-
-        - The ZPublisher 'method' form variable type has been 
-          deprecated in favor of 'action'. The behavior is the 
-          same, only the official (and documented in the Zope
-          book) name has changed. The 'method' name is still 
-          supported for backward compatibility.
-
-        - The 'objectIds' and 'objectValues' methods of ObjectManager
-          derived objects are no longer directly Web-accessible. This 
-          is a topic that has come up over and over on the lists. Some 
-          (xml-rpc, mostly) users may depend on this behavior - applications
-          that need access to this information remotely should be modified 
-          so that a Python Script or DTML Method can explicitly pass 
-          the data. 
-          
-        - The Image.tag() and ZopeAttributionButton methods now return an
-          image tag that is XHTML compatible; a space and a slash have been
-          added.
-
-        - SQLMethods can now be edited via FTP and WebDAV tools. Thanks to 
-          Anthony Baxter for his FTP support patches.
-
-        - The Catalog has been slightly overhauled to manage object
-          paths instead of URLs in its tables.  This should not cause
-          any backward compatability concern, but everyone upgrading
-          should read the web pages on the zope.org site at:
-          http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ZCatalogVirtualHostFix/UpgradeFAQ
-          this will provide information about how to upgrade and new
-          features on the result sets, like getObject and
-          getPath. These are very important.
-     
-        - SiteAccess 2.0 has been added, to enable virtual hosting.
-
-        - The StandardCacheManagers product has been added as a primary
-          product, making it easier to get started with caching.
-
-        - The class DTMLFile has been added alongside of HTMLFile.
-          It supports name bindings, ignores positional parameters,
-          and puts the container on top of the namespace by default.
-          Most HTMLFiles should work the same (or more securely) if
-          converted to a DTMLFile.  Most management interface methods
-          should be converted by the final release of 2.3.
-
-        - Added a variable called PUBLISHED to REQUEST.  From now on,
-          this variable should be used instead of PARENTS for user
-          validation.
-
-        - The inituser file is now read even when one user has been
-          created.  This provides a way to reset the password after
-          a new user installs Zope but ignores the generated password.
-
-        - ZCatalogs have a reduced number of management interface tabs.
-
-        - ZCatalog keyword and field indexes have been modified to use
-          a merge strategy when existing indexes are updated.  When an
-          existing object is indexed, the contents of field and
-          keyword indexes are merged with the changes detected between
-          the existing contents of the index and the new content.
-
-        - CatalogPathAware class added.  This will eventually replace
-          CatalogAware.
-
-        - The ManagementInterfaceQuickFix project was merged in. The 
-          Zope management interface has been tweaked in various ways 
-          to improve productivity and consistency and is now at least 
-          slightly less ugly :)

->>>>>>> 1.310
-      Bugs Fixed
-
-<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
-        - A misspelled function name which prevented the addition of
-          properties was corrected.
-=======
         - TextIndexes which called methods expecting an argument failed
           with a TypeError.  This was fixed by extending an exception
           handler.
->>>>>>> 1.322
 
-<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
-        - Caused PropertySheets to restrict IDs the same way
-          ObjectManager does.
-=======
         - A security issue having to do with setting permission mappings
           on ZClass methods was fixed (this supersedes Hotfix-2001-05-01)
->>>>>>> 1.322
 
-<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
-        - (Collector #1586) Fixed situation where the Catalog would
-          attempt to loop over a bucket as if it were a list, which
-          won't work.  This was reported by Steve Alexander with a
-          patch. 
-=======
         - Automatic reloading of Help topics while running in debug mode
           was fixed.
->>>>>>> 1.322
 
-<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
-        - Corrected local role computation (Hotfix 2000-12-15)
-=======
         - Fixed problem adding propertynames with spaces (Collector #2206)
->>>>>>> 1.322
-
-<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
-        - The basic user folder implementation in User.py was changed
-          to use the Zope security policy machinery.  see
-          http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/
-          ChangeUserFoldersToUseSecurityPolicyAPI for details.
-
-        - Trying to cut or copy with no items selected now returns a 
-          nicer error message.
 
-        - A roles keyword argument was added to ZopeSecurityPolicy.validate
-          to enable callers to pass in roles as opposed to allowing the
-          machinery to figure it out for itself.
-
-        - Some product context initialization related to setting roles
-          was updated.
-
-    Zope 2.3.0 alpha 1
-    
-      Features Added
-=======
         - Plugged a memory leak in extensions.  There are often circular
           references in code generated by Python's "exec" statement but
           with a small change extensions now break those references.
->>>>>>> 1.322
-
-<<<<<<< CHANGES.txt
-        - Python Scripts are now part of the Zope core. Big whopping 
-          kudos to Evan Simpson for all of the work he has put into 
-          this! Having Python Scripts in the core will allow people 
-          to much more easily separate logic and presentation (and 
-          get that logic out of DTML!) More information and prototype 
-          documentation for Python Scripts can be found in the 
-          dev.zope.org project:
-
-          http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/PythonMethods
-
-        - Added the __replaceable__ property support to ObjectManager.
-            This is currently documented only in the Wiki.
-
-        - Added unit tests for the DateTime module.
-
-        - Added new BASEPATHn and URLPATHn variables in the REQUEST
-          object, and changed Zope core DTML files to use BASEPATH1
-          instead of SCRIPT_NAME.
-
-        - Added new getId() method to SimpleItem.Item. This should 
-          now be used instead of referencing 'object.id' directly, 
-          as it is guaranteed to always be a method and to always 
-          return the right thing regardless of how the id of the 
-          object is stored internally.
-
-        - Improved Ownership controls. Now you simply choose whether
-          or not to take ownership of sub-objects when taking
-          ownership. There is no need to control implicit/explicit
-          ownership.
-
-        - Changed the Zope installation procedure so it is only
-          necessary to create one user account and that user is
-          stored in the ZODB. The user created at startup now is 
-          simply a normal intial "Manager", not the "superuser". 
-          It is no longer necessary to login, create an initial 
-          manager, logout and log back in! Woohoo!
-
-        - Implemented the "emergency user" concept, which is the new
-          name for what was called the superuser. The emergency user 
-          doesnt even exist now until you explicitly create it.
-        
-        - Added new "WebDAV source view" HTTP handler, enabled by new
-          '-W' (note uppercase) switch to z2.py.  This handler is *not*
-          enabled by default.
-
-        - Implemented "hookable PUT creation" (allows containers to
-          override webdav.NullResource's guess at the type of object
-          to create when PUT is done to an unknown ID).
-
-        - Added testrunner.py to the utilities directory. The testrunner 
-          is a basic utility for running PyUnit based unit tests. It can 
-          be used to run all tests found in the Zope tree, all test suites
-          in a given directory or in specific files. The testrunner will 
-          be used to ensure that all checked in tests pass before releases 
-          are made. For more information, see the docstring of the actual
-          testrunner.py module.
-
-        - The Interface scarecrow package has been checked in - more work
-          will likely be done on it before it goes into wide use. See 
-          Michel's "Zope Interfaces" project on dev.zope.org for details:
-
-          http://www.zope.org/Wikis/Interfaces/FrontPage
-
-        - PyUnit has been checked into the core. Along with the testrunner,
-          this provides enough infrastructure for us to incrementally begin 
-          accumulating (and running!) test suites for various parts of the 
-          Zope core.
-
-        - The new security assertion support has been checked in. For 
-          more information and an updated version of the "Zope security 
-          for developers" guide see the project on dev.zope.org:
-
-          http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/DeclarativeSecurity
-
-
-      Bugs Fixed
-
-        - Removed some cruft in OFS/content_types.py (an old data
-          structure was being constructed but was going unused in
-          favor of a newer structure used in conjunction with the
-          mimetypes module).
-
-        - (Collector #1650)Where the underlying object does not define
-          its own '__cmp__()', comparisons of acquisition-wrapped
-          objects fall back to comparing the identities *of the
-          wrappers* .  Fixed to unwrap the object (both, if needed)
-          before comparing identities.
-
-        - (Collector #1687 Products which register base classes
-          for ZClasses typically defer creating them until product
-          registration;  the derived ZClass needs them to be available
-          immediately after import.  Deprecated
-          'ProductContext.registerZClass' and
-          'ProductContext.registerBaseClass' in favor of a new function,
-          'ZClasses.createZClassForBase' (because none of the machinery
-          needed a ProductContext instance anyway).
-
-        - (Collector #1355) Fixed overlapping HTTP POST requests in
-          ZServer which could have been corrupted. Thanks to Jeff
-          Ragsdale. 
-
-        - Undid a bug fix that caused the DateTime unit tests to fail.
-
-        - Removed the requirement that an "access" file exist.
-          "access" is now only needed to create an emergency user
-          account.
-
-        - Disabled the monitor port by default because, initially,
-          there is no emergency user, and thus no password that
-          can be used to protect the port.
-
-        - Secured the hole that was patched by Hotfix_2000-12-08.
 
-        - Disallowed object IDs that end with two underscores.
-=======
         - Hardened ZMI contents view against subobjects w/ flaky
           'get_size' (Collector #1900).
->>>>>>> 1.322
 
         - Fixed OFS.CopySupport's _verifyObjectPaste to utilize the
           permission stored in the metatype registry, if available
