[Zope3-dev] Heads ups

[Jim Fulton]

- I'm about to check in a change to xml-rpc that gets rid of the xmlrpc
   default view mechanism.  This is backward incompatable, but we think
   few people, if any, are using this and it's better to change it
   before X3.0.  There is now a mechanism that makes it possible to
   define xml-rpc methods on content.  This is also documented
   in a doctest.

- I will soon check in a change that breaks a number of functional tests.

   There was a flaw in the functional testing framework.  The test manager
   was granted the manager role globally, rather than locally.
   A common bug is to create protected objects that have no grants *and*
   are not locations.  Because they are not locations, grants can't
   be acquired and they are unusable in a normal production environment
   where grants are normally local.  These bugs are hidden by global grants.
