ZODB3 and ZEO2 beta releases
I am pleased to announce the second beta releases of ZODB3 and ZEO2. These are the last beta releases. We expect to release the final versions in two weeks. ZODB is an object database for Python that provides transactional persistence while requiring few, if any, changes to application logic. ZEO is a client-server storage system for ZODB. The ZEO2 package is released on its own and as part of ZODB3. The separate release is for Zope users, who already have ZODB. You can get source releases from http://www.zope.org/Products/StandaloneZODB and http://www.zope.org/Products/ZEO. The ZODB3 release requires a C compiler, while the ZEO2 release is pure Python. The components you get with the ZODB3 release are as follows: - Core ZODB, including the persistence machinery - Standard storages such as FileStorage - Supporting modules such as ExtensionClass - The persistent BTrees modules - ZEO (versions 1 and 2) - Experimental Berkeley storages - Updated documentation The beta release contains roughly the same version of ZODB that will be included in Zope 2.6. The two releases are not directly coordinated, so there may be some subtle differences. Many people have contributed to ZODB3. Special thanks to Toby Dickenson for the new ZODB Connection cache. Many people at Zope Corp. have contributed code and tested unreleased versions. There were many changes and bug fixes to ZEO since the last beta release, but very few changes to ZODB. See the NEWS.txt file for details. Jeremy
