       - The ImageFile module has finally been deprecated for good and
         will be removed in Zope 2.11.  Use App.ImageFile instead.
-
-  after Zope 2.8.1
-
-      - The '@' character is now allowed in object ids (RFC 1738 allows it).
-
-    Bugs Fixed
-
-      - If a content object implemented any in-place numeric operators, 
-        untrusted code could call them, thus modifying the content.
-
-      - If Python 2.4 is used, despite the fact that Python 2.4 is
-        unsupported, untrusted code could use generator expressions to
-        gain access to container items.
-
-      - Collector #1895: testrunner: omitting the 'var' from recursive
-        directory walking
-
-      - OFS.Image.manage_FTPget() would str() it's .data attribute,
-        potentially loading the whole file in memory as a
-        string. Changed to use RESPONSE.write() iterating through the
-        Pdata chain, just like index_html().
-
-      - Collector #1863: Prevent possibly sensitive information to leak via
-        the TransientObject's __repr__ method.
-
-      - Repaired 'handle_errors' usage for doctests, along with the
-        supporting 'debug' argument passed to
-        'ZPublisher.Test.publish_module'.
-
-      - Collector #1879: applied patch by Dieter Maurer to fix a bug in 
-        ac_aquire() ignoring the default argument
-
-      - Collector #1864, #1906: fixed header normalization in appendHeader()
-
-      - Collector #1899: fixed migration issue when using export/import for
-        ZCatalog instances
-
-      - Collector #1871: Applied patch to support lists with records using
-        ZTUtils.make_query()
-
-      - AccessControl: creating a new user through "zpasswd inituser" did not
-        work properly with a top-level user folder with enabled password
-        encryption.
-
-      - ZCatalog: refreshCatalog() could not be called safely from a ZEO
-        client script
-
-      - Catalog.clear(): fixed handling of _length attribute (caused import
-        problems for some .zexp files e.g. Squishdot instances)
-
-      - DateIndex now properly removes documents from both indexes if
-        the value is None
-
-      - Collector #1888: Some parts of the TALInterpreter would not pass a 
-        default when  translating, yet expect a string back. This would cause 
-        an error (usually "NoneType has no attribute 'replace'") in the case 
-        the message was not translated.
-        
-  Zope 2.8.1 (2005/08/11)
-
-    Features added
-
-      - Interface: Added Z3 -> Z2 bridge utilities.
-        This allows to migrate interfaces to Zope 3 style interfaces and
-        bridge them back to oldstyle interfaces for backwards compatibility.
-
-    Bugs Fixed
-
-      - Zope2.Startup.zopectl: fork before execv when running unit tests
-        (don't exit the shell, if run from there).
-
-      - TAL: MassageIDs are now handled the same way as in zope.tal.
-
-      - DocumentTemplate: ustr no longer mangles MassageIDs.
-        Custom string types are now returned unchanged.
-
-      -  As developed in a long thread starting at
-         http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2005-July/160433.html
-         there appears to be a race bug in the Microsoft Windows socket
-         implementation, rarely visible in ZEO and/or in
-         ZServer/medusa/thread/select_trigger.py when multiple processes try
-         to create an "asyncore trigger" simultaneously, most often (in
-         stress tests) manifesting as a hung process.  Windows-specific
-         trigger code in both changed to work around this bug when it occurs.
-
-      - Collector #1807: fixed memory leak in cAccessControl.guarded_getattr()
-
-
-  Zope 2.8.1 b1 (2005/07/28)
-
-    Features Added
-
-      - PluginIndexes, ZCTextIndex and ZCatalog: Added some z3 interfaces.
-
-      - Verbose security exception reporting has been folded into Zope,
-        removing the need for the VerboseSecurity product.  See the
-        documentation for the "verbose-security" option in zope.conf.
-
-      - "TemporaryStorage" (the storage that is used mainly to back the
-        default sessioning database) is now MVCC capable, which essentially
-        means that its usage will no longer generate ZODB ReadConflictErrors.
-
-    Bugs Fixed
-
-      - Collector #1852: fixed wrong URL construction in webdav.davcmds
-
-      - Collector #1844: fixed whitespace handling in the ZMI "Find" tab
-
-      - Collector #1813: removed spurious inclusion of CMFBTreeFolder.
-        in Products/BTreeFolder2 (CMFCore will include it after 1.5, with
-        an appropriate module alias for backward compatibility).
-
-      - Replaced all transaction.commit(1) calls by  transaction.savepoint()
-
-      - Collector #1832: UnIndex swallowed ConflictErrors.
-
-      - Collector #1815: ZCTextIndex accepts (again) sequences of strings to
-        be indexed.
-
-      - Collector #1812: Fixed key error in ZSQL ZMI/Test
-
-      - Fixed CMFBTreeFolder for CMF 1.5+
-
-      - WebDAV COPY and MOVE did not call '_notifyOfCopyTo' and '_postCopy'
-        hooks like it was done in OFS.CopySupport. Additionally added
-        'manage_changeOwnershipType' to make MOVE behave even closer to
-        OFS.CopySupport.
-
-      - Collector #1548: Fix 'httplib' usage in ZPublisher.Client.
-
-      - Collector #1808: manage_convertIndexes no longer tries to change the
-        index types causing some trouble with CMF.
-
-      - manage_convertIndexes did not treat DateRangeIndexes and PathIndexes
-        properly.
-
-      - Updated Zope X3 to bugfix release 3.0.1
-
-      - Updated Five to bugfix release 1.0.2 (see Products/Five/CHANGES.txt)
-
-  Zope 2.8.0 (2005/06/11)
-
-    Bugs Fixed
-
-      - Collector #1792: applied patch for broken ZClasses
-
-      - doc/FAQ.txt updated: should bear some resemblance to reality now.
-        (PCGI stuff removed; error information updated; PID information
-        updated; upgrade procedure added; some common version questions added.)
-
-      - Collector #1770: Fixed RestructuredText subtitle
-
-      - Collector #1803: Fixed InitializeClass for some corner case.
-
-      - Collector #1798, issue 1: ZopeTestCase no longer tries to
-        install products that were installed by Zope during startup.
-
-      - Collector #1799: Avoid lying about parent's refcount when
-        calling back into Python code.
-
-      - Collector #889:  made 'and' operator for KeywordIndexes actually
-        restrict results as expected (thanks to 'aroda' for the patch!).
-
-      - Collector #1323: applied patch to fix umask problem in zdctl
-
-      - Updated Five to bugfix release 1.0.1 (see Products/Five/CHANGES.txt)
-
-  Zope 2.8.0 b2 (2005/05/22)
-
-    Features added
-
-      - Made WebDAV server distinguishable from the default HTTP
-        server both in the ZMI and in event.log.
-
-      - Included BTreeFolder2
-
-    Bugs fixed
-
-      - Collector #1507/1728: Server addresses are now handled the same way on
-        all platforms. This fixes the default binding on Windows.
-
-      - Collector #1781: made 'create_mount_points' ZConfig option actually
-        work (thanks to Dieter Maurer for the patch).
-
-      - Collector #1780: DateTime.strftime() now handles dates <= 1900 or
-        >= 2038
-
-      - Collector #1775: turning off debug mode by default
-
-      - Collector #1784: fixed handling of multiple attributes in ZCTextIndex
-
-      - Don't copy '.svn' directories from skeleton into an instance
-        (thanks to Dale Hirt for the patch).
-
-      - Collector #1776: Improved setup.py.
-        The Finder class is now used for the complete lib/python tree and has
-        a blacklist instead of a whitelist for file extensions. So there
-        should no longer be a need to update setup.py if modules or files are
-        added or removed in lib/python.
-
-      - Collector #1751: Improved error reporting reporting during the
-        startup phase
-
-      - Collector #1745: Fixed ZSQL error KeyError 'query'
-
-      - Collector #1735: fixed UnicodeDecodeError in Loader.py
-

-
-    Features added
-
-      - Added lazy: TAL expression and fixed defer: expression for python
-        expression
-
-      - ZCatalog.CatalogBrains: An _unrestrictedGetObject method has
-        been added.
-
-      - ZODB transactions now support savepoints. See
-        transaction/savepoint.txt.  These will replace
-        subtransactions.
-
-    Bugs fixed
-
-      - Collector #1754: Fixed import of 'transaction' in
-        'zopectl adduser' (which wasy dying with a NameError).
-
-      - Collector #1750: StructuredText: fixed handling of image URLs
-        with query string
-
-      - Collector #1748: Fixed SIGSEGV in Acquisition
-
-      - Hotfix_20050405:  classes defined in untrusted code could shadow
-        the roles of methods defined as protected by their bases.
-
-      - Collector #1656: Fixed enumeration within untrusted code
-        (forward-port from 2.7 branch).
-
-      - Collector #1721: Fixed handling of an empty indexed_attrs parameter
-
-
-  Zope 2.8a2 (2005/04/02)
-
-    Features added
-
-      - ZCatalog.CatalogBrains:  'getObject' now raises errors, rather than
-        returning None, in cases where the path points either to a nonexistent
-        object (in which case it raises NotFound) or to one which the user
-        cannot access (raising Unauthorized).  Sites which rely on the old
-        behavior can restore setting a new zope.conf option,
-        'catalog-getObject-raises', to "off".
-
-        This compatibility option will be removed in Zope 2.10.
-
-      - PluginIndexes: the ZCatalog's "Indexes" tab now show the number of
-        distinct values indexed by each index instead of a mixture of indexed
-        objects versus number of distinct values. Indexes derived from UnIndex
-        show both values within their own ZMI screen. In addition most indexes
-        have now a "Browse" tab to browse through the list of indexed
-        values and their occurrences.
-
-      - FTPServer: a RNFR (rename from) request is now being responded
-        with a 550 error code if the source file does not exist
-
-      - Fixed ObjectManager to not swallow exceptions during object
-        deletion (in debug mode and if the user is not Manager). This
-        allows for better debugging, while still keeping the possibility
-        for a Manager to delete buggy objects.
-
-      - Added a ZConfig directive 'large-file-threshold' to control
-        the request content-size threshold at which a temporary file
-        gets created. Use the same value for deciding between reading
-        the whole request in memory or just a chunk inside
-        webdav.NullResource.PUT().
-
-      - RAMCacheManager: Allow invalidation of a cache entry from the
-        Statistics view in the ZMI
-
-      - Collector #1454/OFS.File: Accept content types ending with
-        "javascript" as editable through the File edit form, just like
-        text/<foo> types
-
-      - Zope X3 3.0.0's 'src/zope' package is included now.
-
-      - Five (Zope 3 integration technology for Zope 2) is included
-        now in Products/Five.
-
-    Bugs fixed
-
-      - Collector #1460: guarded_apply was too restrictive.
-
-      - OFS.Traversable still used a string 'NotFound' exception.
-
-      - ZPublisher would fail to recognize a XML-RPC request if the
-        content-type header included a 'charset' parameter.
-
-      - Forward-ported 'aq_acquire'-related fix and associated tests
-        from Zope 2.7.4.
-
-      - Collector #1730: XML page templates couldn't call aq_parent in
-        path expressions.
-
-      - Fixed brain.getObject() to correctly traverse to an object even
-        if one of its parents is not accessible, to be close to what the
-        Publisher does.
-
-      - Forward ported fix for OFS.CopySupport tests which corrected
-        signature of a faux security policy's 'validate' method.
-
-      - 'setup.py' did not install the 'Zope' compatibility module
-        (the old 'Zope' package has been renamed to 'Zope2').
-
-      - Fixed Shared.DC.ZRDB.Results to behave with the new-style
-        ExtensionClass. Added a test.
-
-      - 'setup.py' did not install the new 'Zope' compatibility module
-        (the 'Zope' package has been renamedd to 'Zope2').
-
-      - Collector #1507: Zope now binds again to all available IP addresses if
-        ip-address is unset
-
-      - Use 'del' instead of 'list.remove()' in
-        Catalog.delColumn(). There can be only one column with the
-        same name, and it could potentially break catalog metadata as
-        remove() may remove more than one element from the list if
-        they have the same value. Also, we already have the list index
-        we are interested in deleting so it doesn't make sense to look
-        up the value and call 'list.remove()' on it.
-
-      - Collector #1628: FTP server has been broken (directory
-        listings did not work)
-
-      - Collector #1705: CopySource._postCopy is never called
-
-      - Collector #1617: Fixed crash in ZPT code (caused by improper
-        checks in cAccessControl)
-
-      - Collector #1683: fixing batching in the DA "Test" tab
-
-      - Collector #1648: Fix bug in Medusa FTP
-
-      - Collector #1667: allow 'max-number-of-session-objects 0' to have
-        the same effect as setting the value via the web interface (i.e.,
-        make the number of session objects unlimited, rather than falling
-        back to the default).
-
-      - Collector: #1651: removed compiler warning
-
-      - Collector #1661: make 'python-check-interval' setting in zope.conf
-        actually work as documented.  This setting allows for important
-        tuning opportunities for production Zope servers.
-
-      - Collector #1657:  Don't break host-based virtual hosting when
-        purging an HTTP accelerator.
-
-      - DTML Methods were not interoperable with the new filestream_iterator
-        and caches based on it (FileCacheManager).
-
-      - Collector #1655: fixed severe memory leak in TemporaryStorage
-
-      - Collector #1407: fixed XML escaping problem introduced in 2.7.4 b1
-
-      - Collector #1151: HTTP compression was broken on error pages
-
-      - The REQUEST now contains a new entry ACTUAL_URL which contains the
-        full URL without query string as it appears within the location bar of
-        the browser. The key has been added to provide a single key that is
-        available for vhosted and non-vhosted installations.
-
-      - Collector #1605: VHM did not quote URLs
-
-      - webdav.Resource: during COPY, manage_afterClone was called way
-        too early, thus the object wasn't bound to the database and
-        couldn't find a context. Changed to behave the same way as
-        CopySupport.
-
-      - RAMCacheManager: opimized performance by using cPickle instead
-        of pickle and by using the highest pickle protocol available
-        instead of using ASCII pickles (patch by Dieter Maurer)
-
-      - Collector #631: Image URLs in StructuredText containing port
-        numbers were not rendered correctly
-
-      - Collector #1498: Don't choke on malformed cookies. Cookies of
-        the form "foo=bar; hmm; baz=gee" will give an empty value for
-        'hmm' instead of silently discarding it and the rest of the
-        string. (Thanks to 'sirilyan' for the patch.)
-
-      - bin/zopectl test now uses os.execv, instead os os.system,
-        so that options with characters that needs shell quoting
-        doesn't break the command.
-
-      - Collector #1219:  Make XML export sane again.
-
-      - Collector #945:  Allow adding empty PythonScript instances
-        programmatically.
-
-      - Updated doc/UNITTEST.txt and lib/python/Testing/README.txt to
-        reflect progress made since UNITTEST.txt was originally written.
-
-      - Removed Version objects from the add menu. Versions are agreed to be a
-        feature that should not be used as it is not well implemented and
-        allows for data loss.
-
-      - Collector #1510: Allow encoding of application/xhtml+xml pages
-        according to the charset specified in the Content-Type header
-        (thanks to Jacek Konieczny for the patch).
-
-      - Collector #1599: made sqltest work with unicode strings (thanks
-        to Peter Sabaini for the patch).
-
-      - zopectl: fixed handling of child processes (patch by Dieter Maurer)
-
-      - Collector #1593: fixed dumb _get_id() implementation in
-        OFS.CopySupport that produced copy_of_copy_of....files (thanks
-        to Alexandre Boeglin for the patch).
-
-      - Collector #1450: files in utilities/ZODBTools are now installed
-        during the installation process in the 'bin' directory
-
-      - Collector #1003: added new 'http-header-max-length' directive
-        to zope.conf to specific the maximum length of a HTTP request
-        header before it is considered as a possible DoS attack and
-        discarded.
-
-      - Collector #1371: added new 'cgi-maxlen' directive to zope.conf
-        to limit the amount of form data being processed by Zope
-        to prevent DoS attacks
-
-      - Collector #1407: changed WebDAV display name for objects
-        to title_or_id()
-
-      - the 'trusted-proxy' directive in zope.conf now also accepts
-        hostnames instead of IP addresses only (patch by Dieter Maurer)
-
-      - Fixed test.py to not over-resolve symbolic links. Needed to run
-        tests when the Products directory and a product are symlinks.
-
-      - Collector #1583/ZReST: Fixed handling of the title attribute
-        for non-ascii characters.
-
-      - Collector #1577: Fixed cryptic error message in ZPublisher if a
-        non-ASCII string is passed to a date, int, long or float property.
-
-      - Collector #1576: Fixed Z Search Interface to use proper HTML.
-
-      - Collector #1127: strftime did not take timezone into account.
-
-      - Collector #1569/DateTime: Added a new ISO8601-method that will
-        return correctly formatted ISO 8601-representations to augment
-        the ISO method which isn't compliant with ISO 8601.
-
-      - ZPublisher: changed some hardcoded 'latin1' arguments to 'iso-8859-15'
-        since latin1 is obsolete.
-
-      - Collector #1566: Installation of Zope on some older Solaris versions
-        could fail due to a broken "echo" implementation causing the
-        creation of a borked version.txt file.
-
-      - Collector #934: Image and File objects are now always internally
-        split into small chunks even when initialized from a string.
-
-      - docutils: updated to V 0.3.5. The Zope core now contains a full copy of
-        the docutils package except some GPLed files which can not be included
-        with the Zope distribution due to license constraints on svn.zope.org.
-
-      - docutils: moved from lib/python/docutils to
-        lib/python/third_party/docutils
-
-      - Collector #1557/OFS.Image: Introducing new 'alt' property. The 'alt'
-        attribute is no longer taken from the 'title' property but from the new
-        'alt' property.  The border="0" attribute is no longer part of the HTML
-        output except specified otherwise.
-
-      - Set a default value of '' for the new 'alt' property as not to
-        break existing content.
-
-      - Collector #1511: made IPCServer show up in the Control Panel under
-        "Network Services"
-
-      - Collector #1443: Applied patch by Simon Eisenmann that reimplements
-        the XML parser used in WebDAV fixing a memory leak.
-
-      - Always unescape element contents on webdav.xmltools
-
-      - Use saxutils to escape/unescape values for/from
-        PROPFIND/PROPPATCH.
-
-      - Make OFS.PropertySheet use the escaping function from
-        webdav.xmltools.
-
-      - Escape/unescape &quot; and &apos;
-
-      - Don't escape properties stored as XML (ie: having a
-        __xml_attrs__ metadata set by PROPPATCH) when building a
-        PROPFIND response.
-
-      - If a PROPPATCH element value contains only a CDATA section,
-        store the CDATA contents only.
-
-      - Catch AttributeErrors and KeyErrors raised from
-        __bobo_traverse__ and convert them to NotFound. In debug mode
-        a more verbose error message is issued, the same way it's done
-        on attribute/item traversal.
-
-      - Collector #1523: replace the text field for importing .zexp/.xml
-        files with a selection list
-
-      - Stitch newly-created object into it's container *before*
-        calling it's PUT() method. This fixes an issue with
-        OFS.File/OFS.Image that would result into reading the whole
-        file in memory and wrapping it into a *single* Pdata object.
-
-      - Import ZServer.CONNECTION_LIMIT variable *inside* the method
-        that uses it. Before this, the variable was imported at the
-        module level, thus binding it too early which would cause the
-        ZConfig handler to have no real effect.
-
-  Zope 2.8a1 (2004/10/17)
-
-    Features added
-
-     - Included Stefan Holek's ZopeTestCase 0.9
-
-     - The SiteErrorLog allows you to acknowledge (or delete) exceptions,
-       so you can reduce or clear the list without restarting your
-       Zope server. Additionally the SiteErrorLog is covered by unit tests
-       now.
-
-     - Unit tests added for the SiteErrorLog.
-
-     - UI improvement for the ZCatalog. The "catalog contents" allow
-       you to filter the cataloged objects by path now.
-
-     - Made test.py follow symbolic links on POSIX systems.
-
-     - added utilities/reindex_catalog.py to perform ZCatalog maintenance
-       operations from the command line (through zopectl)
-
-     - RESPONSE.setBody and RESPONSE.setStatus now accept lock
-       parameters in the same way as RESPONSE.redirect. These prevent
-       further calls to the methods from overwriting the previous value.
-       This is useful when writing http proxies.
-
-     - DateTime: new DateTime instance can be constructed from a given
-       DateTime instance: d_new = DateTime(d_old)
-
-     - The DateTime parser now throws a SyntaxError upon any parsing errors.
-
-     - ZCatalog: added a new configuration option in the "Advanced" tab
-       to provide optional logging of the progress of long running
-       reindexing or recataloging operations.
-
-     - made Zope.configure return the starter instance to enable other
-       methods to be called, such as starter.setupConfiguredLoggers()
-
-     - Improved Unicode handling in Page Templates. Template contents
-       and title will now be saved as a Unicode string if
-       the management_page_charset variable can be acquired and is true.
-       The character set of an uploaded file can now be specified.
-
-     - zopectl now accepts the -m argument to set a umask for files created
-       by the managed process (e.g. -m 002 or --umask 002).
-
-     - AccessControl/permission_settings() now has a new optional parameter
-       'permission' to retrieve the permission settings for a particular
-       permission.
-
-     - The obsolete 'SearchIndex' package has been removed
-
-     - Traversal now supports a "post traversal hook" that get's run
-       after traversal finished and the security context is established.
-
-     - Using "_usage" parameters in a ZCatalog query is deprecated and
-       logged as DeprecationWarning.
-
-     - MailHost now has two additional properties, a user id and a
-       password. These are used to attempt ESMTP authentication
-       before sending a mail.
-
-     - Folder listings in FTP now include "." as well as "..".
-
-     - When a VHM is activated, it adds the mapping
-       'VIRTUAL_URL_PARTS': (SERVER_URL, BASEPATH1, virtual_url_path)
-       to the request's 'other' dictionary.  If BASEPATH1 is empty, it
-       is omitted from the tuple.  The joined parts are also added
-       under the key 'VIRTUAL_URL'.  Since the parts are evaluated
-       before traversal continues, they will not reflect modifications
-       to the path during traversal or by the addition of a default
-       method such as 'index_html'.
-
-     - Extension Classes, a key Zope foundation, have been totally
-       rewritten based on Python new-style classes.
-
-       This change provides a number of advantages:
-
-       o Use of new-style class features (e.g. slots, descriptors,
-         etc.) in Zope objects. Support for object protocols (special
-         __ methods) added since Python 1.4.
-
-       o Support for cyclic garbage collection.
-
-       o Ability to use new-style classes as base classes of Zope objects.
-
-       o Pave the way for sharing code between Zope 2 and Zope 3.
-
-       Note -- Extension classes with __of__ methods are made into
-         Python read descriptors.
-
-         If an extension classes is used to implement a descriptor,
-         indirectly by implementing __of__ or directly by implementing
-         __get__, the behavior of the descriptor will differ from
-         ordinary descriptors in an important way. The descriptors
-         __get__ method will be called *even if* the descriptor is
-         stored on an instance of an extension class.  Normally
-         descritor __get__ methods are called only of the descriptor
-         is stored in a class.
-
-     - ZODB 3.3
-
-       This is the first version of ZODB that does not require
-       ExtensionClass.
-
-     - Add 'parity' method to ZTUtils Iterators.
-
-     - Allow untrusted code to mutate ZPublisher record objects.
-
-     - Added a "mime-types" configuration value which names a file
-       giving additional MIME type to filename extension mappings.
-       The "mime-types" setting may be given more than once in the
-       configuration file; the files have the same format at the
-       mime.types file distributed with Apache.
-
-     - Changed the ZEO server and control process to work with a
-       single configuration file; this is now the default way to
-       configure these processes.  (It's still possible to use
-       separate configuration files.)  The ZEO configuration file can
-       now include a "runner" section used by the control process and
-       ignored by the ZEO server process itself.  If present, the
-       control process can use the same configuration file.
-
-     - ZConfig was updated to version 2.0.  The new version includes
-       two new ways to perform schema extension; of particular
-       interest in Zope is the ability for a configuration file to
-       "import" new schema components to allow 3rd-party components
-       (such as storages, databases, or logging handlers) to be used.
-
-     - The testrunner.py script has been replaced with test.py which
-       is now installed into the 'bin' folder.
-
-    Bugs fixed
-
-     - Removed Python 2.3.3 as valid option. ZODB 3.3 requires Python
-       2.3.4 or later.
-
-     - Collector #1332: Added in-place migration of the Catalog.__len__
-       attribute to avoid new-style class caching problems. Instances of
-       ZCatalog or instances of classes with ZCatalog as base class will be
-       migrated automatically. Instances of Catalog or classes with Catalog
-       as base class must be migrated manually by calling the migrate__len__()
-       method on the every instance. In addition old BTree migration code
-       (for pre-Zope 2.5 instances) has been removed. If you want to migrate
-       from such an old version to Zope 2.8, you need to clear and reindex
-       your ZCatalog).
-
-     - Collector #1595: same as in Collector #1132 for indexes derived from
-       UnIndex. Exisiting ZCatalog instances must be converted manually
-       by calling the "manage_convertIndexes" method through-the-web for
-       every single ZCatalog instance. See also doc/FAQ.txt (Installation,
-       question #4)
-
-     - Collector #1457: ZCTextIndex's QueryError and ParseError
-       are now available for import from untrusted code.
-
-     - Collector #1473: zpasswd.py can now accept --username
-       without --password
-
-     - Collector #1491: talgettext.py did not create a proper header
-       for the generated .pot file if multiple pagetemplate files
-       were processed.
-
-     - Collector #1477: TaintedString.strip() now implements the
-       same signature as str.strip()
-
-     - TAL: tal:on-error does not trap ConflictError anymore.
-
-     - OFS.CopySupport: Enforced "Delete objects" permission during
-       move (CMF Collector #259).
-
-     - Removed DWIM'y attempt to filter acquired-but-not-aceessible
-       results from 'guarded_getattr'.
-
-     - Collector #1267: applied patch to fix segmentation faults on
-       x86_64 systems
-
-     - ZReST: the charset used in the rendered HTML was not set to the
-       corresponding output_encoding property of the ZReST instance. In addition
-       changing the encodings through the Properties tab did not re-render
-       the HTML.
-
-     - Collector #1234: an exception triple passed to LOG() was not
-       propagated properly to the logging module of Python
-
-     - Collector #1441: Removed headers introduced to make Microsoft
-       webfolders and office apps happy, since they make a lot of
-       standards-compliant things unhappy AND they trick MS Office
-       into trying to edit office files stored in Zope via WebDAV even
-       when the user isn't allowed to edit them and is only trying to
-       download them.
-
-     - Collector #1445: Fixed bad interaction between -p and -v(v)
-       options to test.py that resulted in exceptions being printed
-       when they shouldn't have been.
-
-     - Collector #729: manage_main doesn't display the correct page title
-       most of the time. It is not completely fixed but using title_or_id
-       makes folders display the correct id as a fallback.
-
-     - Collector #1370: Fixed html generated by Z Search interface.
-
-     - Collector #1295: Fixed minor niglet with the Elvis tutorial.
-
-     - added "version.txt" to setup.py to avoid untrue "unreleased version"
-       messages within the control panel
-
-     - Collector #1436: applied patch to fix a memory leak in
-       cAccessControl.
-
-     - Collector #1431: fixed NetBSD support in initgroups.c
-
-     - Collector #1406: fixed segmentation fault by acquisition
-
-     - Collector #1392: ExternalMethod ignored management_page_charset
-
-     - unrestrictedTraverse() refactored to remove hasattr calls (which mask
-       conflict errors) and for greater readability and maintainability.
-
-     - Zope can now be embedded in C/C++ without exceptions being raised
-       in zdoptions.
-
-     - Collector #1213: Fixed wrong labels of cache parameters
-
-     - Collector #1265: Fixed handling of orphans in ZTUtil.Batch
-
-     - Collector #1293: missing 'address' parameters within one of the server
-       sections raise an exception.
-
-     - Collector #1345: AcceleratedHTTPCacheManager now sends the
-       Last-Modified header.
-
-     - Collector #1126: ZPublisher.Converters.field2lines now using
-       splitlines() instead of split('\n').
-
-     - Collector #1322: fixed HTML quoting problem with ZSQL methods
-       in DA.py
-
-     - Collector #1124: The ZReST product now uses the same reST encoding
-       parameters from zope.conf as the low-level reStructuredText
-       implementation.
-
-     - Collector #1259: removed the "uninstall" target from the Makefile
-       since the uninstall routine could also remove non-Zope files. Because
-       this was to dangerous it has been removed completely.
-
-     - Collector #1299: Fixed bug in sequence.sort()
-
-     - Collector #1159: Added test for __MACH__ to initgroups.c so the
-       initgroups method becomes available on Mac OS X.
-
-     - Collector #1004: text,token properties were missing in
-       PropertyManager management page.
-
-     - Display index name on error message when index can't be used as
-       'sort_on'.
-
-     - PUT would fail if the created object had a __len__ = 0 (eg:
-       BTreeFolder2) and fallback to _default_put_factory. Fix by
-       checking if the returned object is None instead.
-
-     - Collector #1160: HTTPResponse.expireCookie() potentially didn't
-       when an 'expires' keyword argument was passed.
-
-     - Collector #1289: Allow ZSQL methods to be edited via WebDAV.
-
-     - WebDAV property values were not being properly escaped on
-       'propstat'.
-
-     - WebDAV 'supportedlock' was not checking if the object did
-       implement the WriteLockInterface before returning it's
-       value.
-
-     - reStructuredText ignored the encoding settings in zope.conf
-
-     - ObjectManager no longer raises string exceptions
-
-     - Collector #1260: Testing/__init__.py no longer changes the
-       INSTANCE_HOME.
-
-     - App.config.setConfiguration() did not update the legacy source
-       for debug_mode, Globals.DevelopmentMode.
-
-     - Script (Python) objects now have a _filepath attribute, also
-       used as the '__file__' global at runtime.  This prevents an
-       import problem caused by the fix to #1074.
-
-     - Minor usability tweaks:
-
-       * Increased FindSupport meta type selection widgets
-         height to 8 lines
-
-     - The DateTime module did not recognize the settings for
-       "datetime-format".
-
-     - Stop testrunner.py from recursing into the 'build-base' directory
-       created by setup.py.
-
-     - Collector #1074: Change Scripts' __name__ to None
-
-     - Range searches with KeywordIndexes did not work with record-style
-       query parameters
-
-     - Item_w__name__ now has a working getId() method
-
-     - PageTemplateFile now using Item_w__name__ mixin, fixing
-       its getId() and absolute_url() methods.
-
-     - Only one VirtualHostMonster is allowed per container.
-
-     - Collector #1133: TreeTag choked on Ids of type long.
-
-     - Collector #1012: A carefully crafted compressed tree state
-       could violate size limit.  Limit is no longer hardcoded.
-
-     - Collector #1139: tal:attributes didn't escape double quotes.
-
-     - Management interface of TopicIndexes has been completely broken
-
-     - Collector #1129: Improper parsing of ISO8601 in DateTime.
-
-     - Removed pervasive use of string exceptions (some may still be
-       hiding in the woodwork, but all raise's with string literals are
-       gone).
-
-     - AccessControl.User used a misleading string exeception,
-       'NotImplemented', which shadowed the Python builtin.
-
-     - Collector #426: Inconsistent, undocumented error() method.
-
-     - Collector #799: Eliminate improper uses of SCRIPT_NAME.
-
-     - Collector #445: Add internal global declaration for Script bindings.
-
-     - Collector #616: Make CONTEXTS available to TALES Python expressions.
-
-     - Collector #1074: Give Script execution context a __name__
-
-     - Collector #1095: Allow TAL paths starting with '/varname' as a
-       preferred spelling for 'CONTEXTS/varname'.
-
-     - Collector #391: Cut and paste now requires delete permissions.
-
-     - Collector #331: Referenses to URL in manage_tabs was changed
-       to REQUEST.URL to prevent accidental overriding.
-
-     - Made the control panel properly reflect the cache-size setting
-       of ZODB's object cache once again.
-
-     - ConflictError was swallowed in ObjectManager by
-       manage_beforeDelete and _delObject. This could break code
-       expecting to do cleanups before deletion.
-
-     - Python 2.3 BooleanType wasn't handled properly by ZTUtils
-       marshalling and ZPublisher's converters.
-
-     - Collector #1065: bin/ scripts didn't export HOME envars.
-
-     - Collector #572: WebDAV GET protected by 'FTP Access' permission.
-       Two new methods have been added to WebDAV resources, "manage_DAVget"
-       and "listDAVObjects". These are now used by WebDAV instead of the
-       earlier "manage_FTPget" and "objectValues". This separates the
-       permissions, and allows WebDAV specific overriding of these methods.
-
-     - Collector #904: Platform specific signals in zdaemon/Daemon.py
-       (fixed by removing the "fossil" module from 2.7 branch and head).
-
-     - Workaround for Collector #1081: The 'title' property for objects
-       derived from OFS.Folder or PropertyManager can now be
-       removed and replaced with a ustring property. This allows the usage
-       of non-ISO-8859-1 or ASCII charsets
-
-     - Collector #951: DateTime(None) is now equal to DateTime()
-
-     - Collector #1056: aq_acquire() ignored the default argument
-
-     - Collector #1087: ZPT: "repeat/item/length" did not work as documented
-       in the Zope Book.
-
-     - Collector #721: Entities in tal:attribute values weren't
-       properly escaped.
-
-     - Collector #851: Traversable.py: A bare try..except shadowed
-       conflict errors
-
-     - Collector #1058: Several fixes for PropertySheets when used
-       outside ZClasses
-
-     - Collector #1053: parseIndexRequest turned empty sequence of search
-       terms into unrestricted search.
-
-     - manage_tabs had a namespace problem with the acquisition of names from
-       the manage_options variable resulting to acquire "target" and "action"
-       from objects above in the hierachy.
-
-     - PathIndex and TopicIndex are now using a counter for the number
-       of indexed objects instead of using a very expensive calculation
-       based on the keys of their indexes.
-
-     - Collector #1039: Whitespace problem in Z2.log fixed
-
-     - changed some bare try: except:'s in Shared.DC.ZRDB.Connection
-       so that they now log exceptions that occur.
-
-     - ObjectManager will now attempt to set Owner local role keyed
-       to the user's id, rather than username.
