Zope 2.5.0 beta 4 Release
Zope 2.5 beta 4 has been released - you can download it from Zope.org:
http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.5.0b4/
The 2.5 beta 4 release contains minor additional fixes to 2.5 beta 3. WARNING: The session tracking product has changed since beta 3, and this creates a database incompatibility when upgrading from an earlier 2.5 beta release. Read the workaround until a solution is devised.
The binary releases for Zope 2.5.0 beta 4 contain a pre-release version of Python 2.1.2.
If you are compiling your own Zope from the source distribution, you should be sure to build and run it with Python 2.1.2 when it comes out. In the meantime, we advise that you build and run Zope with the Python 2.1 maintenance branch from the Python public CVS to ensure that you have all of the latest fixes.
