    Zope 2.2.2

      Bugs Fixed

        - Applied Dieter Maurers patch to prevent log entries from 
          being dropped when clients disconnect prematurely.

        - The manage_test method of database connection objects were 
          not checking for RDB-format results, which caused the test 
          queries to fail from the test tab of some older DAs.

        - Z2.py did not allow passing numeric UIDs for the -u option.

        - Corrected a factory bug that prevented creation of ZClass
          instances within objects owned by users defined in a
          different user folder than the root acl_users.

        - Made ZopeAttributionButton method of Application object 
          public.

        - Factory dispatchers inappropriately acquired ownership in 
          certain cases, causing problems creating objects for users 
          not defined in the root user folder.

        - The DestinationURL method of FactoryDispatchers did not work
          correctly if the dispatcher was obtained through the 
          unrestrictedTraverse method.

        - Several calls to socket.bind() were fixed for Python 1.6/2.0
          compatibility in PCGI and Gadfly.

        - The sqlvar tag could fail on the trailing 'L' of the string
          representation of longs when coercing to int or float.

        - Under some circumstances, versions were only partially
          committed (or aborted) in FileStorages causing objects to be
          left locked in a version with no way to unlock them.

        - FileStorages opened read-only incorrectly truncated data
          files when incomplete transactions were discovered.

        - Read transactions were aborted due to conflict errors.
          This was an attempt to catch write conflicts early, but was
          far too pessimistic.

        - The document_src method of DTML objects required a REQUEST
          and RESPONSE argument, making it difficult to use from 
          Python code. They are now optional.

        - The "test" tab of SQL Methods did not include the rendered 
          query in the error message if the test failed due to a 
          database-level error (such as a malformed query).

        - A signed/unsigned buglet in the code for Splitter objects 
          caused recognition of national characters to fail on some 
          platforms (FreeBSD/x86).

        - A bug in ZODB database objects could cause ZEO clients to
          fail to start without deleting the ZEO client cache.

        - The 'lock' keyword argument to RESPONSE.redirect was not 
          in the API documentation.

        - Some missing SCRIPT_NAME variables were added to the IMG
          SRC paths for the navigator pane.
