Users of the Zope source releases should note that this release contains changes to existing C code. If you are using a source release (or the source diff update), be sure to run w_pcgi.py or wo_pcgi.py as appropriate before starting Zope to ensure that your binaries are rebuilt.

For more information on what is new in this release, see the CHANGES.txt and HISTORY.txt files for the release:

Note that we have also posted "diff" updates as .tgz files that will let you easily upgrade an existing 2.3.x site. These updates are available for those currently using the 2.3.x source release or the 2.3.x binary releases.

To apply a differential update to your site:

• download the appropriate .tgz file from zope.org
• shutdown your Zope process
• copy the .tgz to your Zope directory and extract it
• run w_pcgi or wo_pcgi if you are not using a binary release
• restart your process
