- Growing pains: ZODB 3.2 had a bug wherein ``Transaction.begin()`` didn't
abort the current transaction if the only pending changes were in a
subtransaction. In ZODB 3.3, it's intended that a transaction manager be
used to effect ``begin()`` (instead of invoking ``Transaction.begin()``),
and calling ``begin()`` on a transaction manager didn't have this old
bug. However, ``Transaction.begin()`` still exists in 3.3, and it had a
worse bug: it never aborted the transaction (not even if changes were
pending outside of subtransactions). ``Transaction.begin()`` has been
changed to abort the transaction. ``Transaction.begin()`` is also
deprecated. Don't use it. Use ``begin()`` on the relevant transaction
manager instead. For example,

subtransactions). Transaction.begin() has been changed to abort the ``Transaction.begin()`` in 3.3 a brand new transaction object is

>>> txn.begin()
>>> ...
>>> txn.commit()
can't work as intended is 3.3, because ``txn`` is no longer the current
Transaction object the instant ``txn.begin()`` returns.
