[Zope3-dev] new-pickle-branch merge

[Jeremy Hylton]

It looks like the merge went succesfully.  The test suite passes with
python 2.2 with the sole exception of two shallow bugs in the BDB
storage tests.  I think Barry and I are the only ones who run those
tests anyway <0.3 wink>.  3616 other tests passed in a mere 20
minutes.  Similar results with Python 2.3.

You'll need to toss your databases because the pickle format has
changed.  Otherwise, everything should be just the same.

The persistent code implementation (zodb.code) is quite a bit more
mature and has some primitive support for persistent interfaces.  So
ttw development of basic modules may now be possible.
