Cache simulation, while not perfect, seems to be much more accurate
now than it was before.

The ZEO cache trace statistics and simulation scripts have been
given more descriptive names and moved to the ZEO scripts package.

than before).  It's possible that process shutdown after updating
lastTid but before invalidating the current record could explain some
problems we've seen on restarts. (I can't think of a sane way to test
this scenario.)

platforms led to undetected overflow errors. Now these cases cause
Overflow errors to be raised.

Updating blobs in save points could cause spurious "invalidations
out of order" errors.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/zodb/+bug/509801

in. When no changes are passed to the constructor, then they are
closed when the storage is closed.

Changed the behavior for closing changes when changes weren't passed
in. When no changes are passed to the constructor, then they are
closed when the storage is closed.

Fixed a test that wasn't testing what it though it was (or anything really).

This required using manuel to get the footnote
feature. Unfortunately, manuel imports zope.testing.doctest. :)
Hpefully, this will be fixed soon.

Updated the testhistoricalconnections.py tearDown to clear conflict
resolution class cache. The cache was causing tests to fail when tests
were run multiple times.

(Also use standard doctest.)

  Applications for this include compression and encryption.  An
  example wrapper storage implementation, ZODB.tests.hexstorage, was
  included for testing.

It is important that storage implementations not assume that
  storages contain pickles.  Renamed IStorageDB to IStorageWrapper and
  expanded it to provide methods for transforming and untransforming
  data records.  Storages implementations should use these methods to
  get pickle data from stored records.

- Deprecated ZODB.interfaces.StorageStopIteration.  Storage
  iterator implementations should just raise StopIteration, which
  means they can now be implemented as generators.

can fail if the pickle has been transformed and a calling storage
doesn't account for that.  Printing is certainly not the right way to
deal with the problem.

Also cleaned up some whitespace.

  The filestorage packer configuration option noe accepts calues of

  option.

methods for transforming and untransforming data records. This was
needed to make storage wrappers that transform data work with
conflict resolution.

- Can use it as a decorator

- Can omit the label, and get the label from the assertion function.

- You can now pass storage keyword arguments to ZODB.DB and
  ZODB.connection.

- You can now pass None (rather than a storage or file name) to get
  a database with a mapping storage.
