Zope 2.8.1 beta 1 released

Hi all,

on behalf of Zope Corporation and the Zope community I am pleased to 
announce the release of Zope 2.8.1b1.  You can download Zope 2.8.1b1 from

      http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.8.1b1/

Some new features of Zope 2.8:

   - 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 (see 
http://codespeak.net/z3/five/)
