[Zope-CVS] CVS: ZODB - NEWS.txt:1.3

[Tim Peters]

Update of /cvs-repository/ZODB
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv23275

Modified Files:
	NEWS.txt 
Log Message:
By popular demand, FileStorage.pack() no longer propagates a

    FileStorageError:  The database has already been packed to a
    later time or no changes have been made since the last pack

exception.  Instead that message is logged (at INFO level), and
the pack attempt simply returns then (no pack is performed).

Incidentally, this should repair frequent reports of failure in the
new checkPackLotsWhileWriting test.  On non-Windows systems, it
seems that the worker thread often didn't get enough cycles to commit
a change between the main thread's attempts to run pack() (and so
the exception above got raised then).
