VerboseSecurity
===============

VerboseSecurity is an add-on product for Zope that helps explain the
reason for denied security access during site development.  It
replaces the ZDebug product.

This product attempts to explain the complete reasoning when Zope security
denies access. It shows what object was being accessed, what permission is
required to access it, what roles map to that permission in that context,
the executable object and its owner, the effective proxy roles, and other
pertinent information. All of this information appears in the exception
message when access is denied.

This product is designed for Zope 2.6. However, it should work with
Zope 2.4 and Zope 2.5 as well.  It is licensed under ZPL 2.0.

The current release is 0.4, since it is a continuation of ZDebug 0.3.

BTreeFolder2
============

BTreeFolder2 is a Zope product that acts like a Zope folder but can
store many more items.  It replaces the BTreeFolder product.

This product descends from the BTreeFolder product. Since they are
more optimized, BTreeFolder2 instances can hold more objects than
BTreeFolder instances. But since there are products that depend on the
internal structure of BTreeFolder, the product has been renamed to
make it possible to have both installed at the same time. New software
should depend on BTreeFolder2, not BTreeFolder.

This product also includes CMFBTreeFolder, which will be made
available if you also have CMF installed.

BTreeFolder2 is licensed under ZPL 2.0 and requires Zope 2.4 or later.
The current release is version 0.5.0.
