What's new in ZODB3 3.8.0?
==========================
Release date: ???
- Added support for Blobs.
BTrees
------
- Added support for 64-bit integer BTrees as separate types.
(For now, we're retaining compile-time support for making the
regular integer BTrees 64-bit.)
- Normalize names in modules so that BTrees, Buckets, Sets, and TreeSets can
all be accessed with those names in the modules (e.g.,
BTrees.IOBTree.BTree). This is in addition to the older names (e.g.,
BTrees.IOBTree.IOBTree). This allows easier drop-in replacement, which can
especially be simplify code for packages that want to support both 32-bit and
64-bit BTrees.
- Describe the interfaces for each module and actually declare the interfaces
for each.
- Fix module references so klass.__module__ points to the Python wrapper
module, not the C extension.
What's new in ZODB3 3.7.0?

ZODB now handles (reasonably) large binary objects efficiently. Useful to
use from a few kilobytes to at least multiple hundred megabytes.

- introduce module families, to group all 32-bit and all 64-bit modules.
