Zope is een opensource webapplicatie server primair geschreven in de ontwikkeltaal Python. Het beschikt onder andere over een transactional object database, dynamische HTML-templates, scripts, search engine en relational database connecties. Het programma kan geheel zelfstandig gebruikt worden maar het is ook mogelijk om het aan andere programma's te koppelen, zoals Apache. De ontwikkelaars hebben de eerste bètaversie van 2.8.0 vrijgegeven met de volgende release notes en changelog:
Hi all,
on behalf of Zope Corporation and the Zope community I am pleased to announce the release of Zope 2.8.0b1.
Some new features of Zope 2.8:WARNING: Due to the major changes in Extension Classes and ZODB there is a risk that some things are broken or do not work as they should. Backup your Data.fs before trying 2.8.0b1.
- ZODB 3.4 with MVCC (multi version concurrency control) support. MVCC solves nearly every problem with ZODB read-conflict errors which is very important for high-traffic Zope sites.
- Extension Classes were rewritten as Python new-style classes making all features of Python new-style classes available in Zope objects. This includes support for cyclic garbage collection.
- Integration of Zope 3 technologies through Five.
