+- (3.4.1b1) Collector #1847.  The ZEO client cache tracing and simulation
+  tools weren't updated to work with ZODB 3.3, and the introduction of
+  MVCC required major reworking of the tracing and simulation code.  These
+  tools are in a working state again, although so far lightly tested on
+  just a few applications.  In ``doc/ZEO/``, see the heavily revised
+  ``trace.txt`` and ``cache.txt``.
+
 - (3.4.1a6) Collector #1846:  If an uncommitted transaction was found,
   fsrecover.py fell into an infinite loop.
