Hi all -

We recently made a Hotfix release to address an issue 
dealing with Zope APIs returning mutable objects that 
could be changed inappropriately from DTML 
(Hotfix_08_09_2000). After further investigation, there 
was another aspect to the problem that was not addressed 
in the recent hotfix.

I've uploaded a new hotfix release (Hotfix_2000-08-17) 
that supercedes the one from the 9th and includes the 
extra fix required.

http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/Hotfix_2000-08-17/

If you run a Zope site and allow untrusted users to edit 
DTML on your site, you should install this updated hotfix. 
There is no need to uninstall the prior hotfix release.
These fixes will also be in the 2.2.1 release, expected 
next week.
