test.py ran these tests ran after "setup build_ext -i", but
not after "setup build".  Repaired by teaching setup.py to
copy more stuff out of the relevant directories.

There's a mystery:  the tests for it appear to run after
"build_ext -i", but not after "build".  But that appears
to be true for the long-stitched-in zope.interface too.

This introduces a "multi-database" concept (a simplification
of Jim's Wiki proposal), and adds many interface definitions.

Work done during the PyCon 2005 ZODB sprint, by Christian
Theune, Jim Fulton and Tim Peters.

Add a record iteration protocol to FileStorage.  You can use the record iterator to iterate over all current revisions
of data pickles in the storage.

In order to support calling via ZEO, we don't implement this as an actual iterator.  An example of using the record iterator
protocol is as follows:

storage = FileStorage('anexisting.fs')
next_oid = None
while 1:
    oid, tid, data, next_oid = storage.record_iternext(next_oid)
    # do something with oid, tid and data
    if next_oid is None:
        break

The behavior of the iteration protocol is now to iterate over all current records in the database in ascending oid order, 
although this is not a promise to do so in the future.

Document exclude{min,max}.

The ZODB4 BTrees excludemin/excludemax arguments got implemented
in 3.3, but the corresponding changes to the BTrees interface
file got dropped on the floor.

Backward compatibility hack for ZODB.Persistent{List,Mapping}.

Allow those old (ZODB 3.2) dotted paths to work again.

Fallout:  testPersistentMapping.py hasn't actually run anything
for a long time, due to a mysterious "return None" at the start
of its test_suite() function.  Removed that.  Then its
checkNewPicklesAreSafe test failed.  Spent 15 minutes on that,
and gave up -- I'm still not even sure what it's _trying_ to
test.  Changed it to a TODO.

Add more words about __del__ methods.

   More minor nitpicks.  This should be the last one.

Also:  s/3.3/3.4/g, since the trunk represents 3.4 development now.
s/ZODB3/ZODB/g, since we stopped calling the module ZODB3 when we
moved from CVS to SVN, and ZODB4 isn't talked about anywhere anymore.
Updated recommended Python version to 2.3.5.

positive_id():  Use a trick from Armin Rigo to deduce the
native platorm address size.

Port from ZODB 3.2.

Change FileStorage .restore() and .store() to update max oid in use.

This is the last of the checkins to fix critical bugs involving rare cases
where a FileStorage could end up reusing old oids for new objects.

Port from ZODB 3.2.

Stop believing the maximum oid cached in a FileStorage's .index file.

This is a critical bugfix, although the problems it addresses are
(a) rare; and, (b) not entirely fixed yet (more checkins to come).

The true max oid is found efficiently now by exploiting the recently-added
fsIndex.maxKey() method (which was, of course, added for this purpose).

Also fix that the .index file could get updated on disk when the
FileStorage was opened in read-only mode.  The code was trying to prevent
this, but missed the most obvious rewrite path.

Incidentally improved many obsolete and/or incorrect comments.

Port from ZODB 3.2.

Give fsIndex an efficient maxKey() implementation.

This will (in a later checkin) be used to give FileStorage an "obviously
correct" way to determine the largest oid used in an .fs.index file.

Port from ZODB 3.2.

Note that cPickleCache.c must be recompiled else the new test will fail.

Change the exception raised when an attempt is made to add two objects to
the cache with the same oid.  The former messsage didn't make sense.

Add a test to verify that this exception does get raised, and that the
message given is the intended one.

This is the first of a series of checkins, to fix critical bugs where
ZODB can in fact raise this exception in rare, but normal, use cases.

setUp():  Use a much smaller (than default) ZEO client cache.

The current default is 200MB, and at least testSerialization reads
the entire cache file into one giant string.  That grossly boosts
the process highwater mark when running the tests.  Windows reclaims
the memory after, but other platforms may not.

Cool:  testSerialization was one of the slowest tests before, but
is 100x faster now.

Renamed the Zope package to Zope2

Import of the Zope package is now deprecated, but will
be supported until Zope 2.11.

Forward port from ZODB 3.2.

Connection.__init__():  Python 2.4 added a new gimmick to asyncore (a
._map attribute on asyncore.dispatcher instances) that breaks the
delicate ZEO startup dance.  Repaired that.

Port from ZODB 3.2.

Fixed several thread and asyncore races in ZEO's connection dance.

ZEO/tests/ConnectionTests.py
    The pollUp() and pollDown() methods were pure busy loops whenever
    the asyncore socket map was empty, and at least on some flavors of
    Linux that starved the other thread(s) trying to do real work.
    This grossly increased the time needed to run tests using these, and
    sometimes caused bogus "timed out" test failures.

ZEO/zrpc/client.py
ZEO/zrpc/connection.py
    Renamed class ManagedConnection to ManagedClientConnection, for clarity.

    Moved the comment block about protocol negotiation from the guts of
    ManagedClientConnection to before the Connection base class -- the
    Connection constructor can't be understood without this context.  Added
    more words about the delicate protocol negotiation dance.

    Connection class:  made this an abstract base clase.  Derived classes
    _must_ implement the handshake() method.  There was really nothing in
    common between server and client wrt what handshake() needs to do, and
    it was confusing for one of them to use the base class handshake() while
    the other replaced handshake() completely.

    Connection.__init__:  It isn't safe to register with asyncore's socket
    map before special-casing for the first (protocol handshake) message is
    set up.  Repaired that.  Also removed the pointless "optionalness" of
    the optional arguments.

    ManagedClientConnection.__init__:  Added machinery to set up correct
    (thread-safe) message queueing.  There was an unrepairable hole before,
    in the transition between "I'm queueing msgs waiting for the server
    handshake" and "I'm done queueing messages":  it was impossible to know
    whether any calls to the client's "queue a message" method were in
    progress (in other threads), so impossible to make the transition safely
    in all cases.  The client had to grow its own message_output() method,
    with a mutex protecting the transition from thread races.

    Changed zrpc-conn log messages to include "(S)" for server-side or
    "(C)" for client-side.  This is especially helpful for figuring out
    logs produced while running the test suite (the server and client
    log messages end up in the same file then).

Most frequently "<unknown>" classes appears for objects changed
later in the same transaction with changes of an interesting objects
so we save data records for all objects changed in the transaction
and then check them for references.

bugfixes have piled up since this was last done.
