Enabled multiunion() for the IOBTree package too. There isn't a good

reason for it not being enabled before.

Features Added
- The IOBTree module also supports multiunion() now.
- BTrees and TreeSets are complex objects, with parent->child
pointers, sibling pointers, and multi-level parent->descendant
pointers. About half the pointers are formally redundant, but
speed operations. BTrees and TreeSets now support a ._check()
method, which does a thorough job of examining all these
pointers for consistency. It raises AssertionError if it finds
any problems, else returns None. In Zope 2.5, in rare cases a
key deletion could leave these internal pointers in an
inconsistent state (what was supposed to be redundant
information became conflicting information). The most likely
symptom was that tree.keys() would yield an object that
disgreed with the tree about how many keys there are.
tree._check() can be used if you suspect such a problem (and if
you find one, rebuilding the tree is the best solution for now).
Zope 2.6.0 alpha 1
Features Added
- Set the default sys checkinterval to a higher value (500) to
take better advantage of faster processors. Since there is no
way to scientifically determine a number that works best for
everyone, this at least should err on the side of better
- The IIBTree module has a new multiunion function. It accepts
a sequence of sets, treesets, etc, and returns the union of
the keys of these objects, as an IISet. It's designed
for peak speed when the input sequence contains many objects.
- Set the default sys checkinterval to a higher value (500) to
take better advantage of faster processors. Since there is no
way to scientifically determine a number that works best for
everyone, this at least should err on the side of better
performance "out of the box" for higher-end production
systems.
Note that you can always use the -i argument to z2 to change
the check interval.
