Port from ZODB 3.2.

DemoStorage:  Added implementations for registerDB() and new_oid().  As
Tres discovered the hard way, wrapping a ZEO client storage as a
DemoStorage base storage yields insane behavior otherwise.

BaseStorage.new_oid():  Rewrite to eliminate recursion, and hence also the
need for the undocumented and irregular `last=` argument.

Other:  removed the `last=` argument to new_oid() every place that felt
compelled to spread that insanity ;-).  Seriously, it served no purpose
at all elsewhere, and looks like people just cut 'n pasted in fear.

Delayed news about old fsdump improvement.

This is revs 29961 and 29965.

test_cache():  Muck with Python's warnings module.

The test didn't work if run more than once (e.g., via Zope3's
test.py's "-N <n>" argument, or via ZODB's test.py's "-L"
argument), because the warnings module suppresses warnings
after the first from a single line.  Made the warnings module
report repeats of DeprecationWarnings for the duration of
the test.

Merge ZODB/branches/efge-beforeCommitHook.

This is Florent Guillaume's branch, giving transaction objects
a new beforeCommitHook() method, as proposed by Jim Fulton on
zodb-dev.  Some changes were made to the branch code (comments,
more tests, more words in the docs).

Merge the ZODB part of Zope/branches/jim-fix-zclasses.

Here are checkin msgs from the branch relating to ZODB code:

    Changed paths:
       M /Zope/branches/jim-fix-zclasses/lib/python/ZODB/serialize.py

    For instances of persistent classes, save a class-module/clas-name
    tuple if the class has a non-empty module string.

    Changed paths:
       M /Zope/branches/jim-fix-zclasses/lib/python/ZODB/Connection.py

    Changed sub-transaction abort code to not invalidate created objects.
    There's really no point, because created objects will be unreachable
    after invalidating old objects.  Also, if a created object is
    non-ghostifiable, it will try to load it's state again, and then
    either it would fail or it would load non-committed state.

       A /Zope/branches/jim-fix-zclasses/lib/python/ZODB/tests/testpersistentclass.py

    Changed to use methods of a threaded manager directly, rather than

    Added a sanity check to avoid registration of objects without a
    manager. (Perhaps this should be an assert.)

    Changed the strategy for handling invalidation of classes.
    No-longer use setklassstate.  Instead, just call _p_invalidate, as
    with any other object.  This changes didn't break any tests, so I
    assume that this was untested. :(

    Changed the strategy for invalidating objects.  Non-ghostifiable
    objects will load their state when they are invalidated.  We have to
    worry about other invalidations that come in while this is happening.
    See the comment in _flush_invalidations.

    We need to force all invalidations to take this into account, by going
    through _flush_invalidations.  I haven't done this yet, but I have
    left some XXX comments in places where it needs to be done to remind
    myself that this needs to be done.

    Change invalidation to not swallow errors. (Swallowing errors here was a
    travesty!)

Port from 3.3 branch.

Port from Zope 2.7 branch.

The various flavors of the ``check2ZODBThreads`` and ``check7ZODBThreads``
tests are much less likely to suffer sproadic failures now.

modifiedInVersion:  remove set_trace() added during ZODB sprint.

checkOldStyleRoot:  Can't work in Zope3.

The Persistence module no longer exists in Zope3's idea of what
ZODB is, but this test relies on it.  Make it tolerate the
absence of Persistence.

This is news about ZEO protocol changes.  The promised
update of README.txt will have to be rewritten from
scratch for 3.4 (the new text in 3.3's README.txt isn't
quite right for the 3.4 release).

Rewrite ZEO protocol negotiation.

3.3 should have bumped the ZEO protocol number (new methods were
added for MVCC support), but didn't.  Untangling this is a mess.

the most common cases (commit() and abort()) -- it's not really
obvious that shortcut spelling exist for those.

Merge checkin made from a wrong project.

Believe it or not, ZopeUndo is ZEO code, not Zope code.

r29726 | slinkp | 2005-03-30 02:11:22 -0500 (Wed, 30 Mar 2005) | 3 lines
Changed paths:
   M /Zope/trunk/lib/python/ZopeUndo/Prefix.py
   M /Zope/trunk/lib/python/ZopeUndo/tests/testPrefix.py

Merged slinkp_1726_zopeundo: avoid showing undo transactions in
the wrong folder.

This always slept for 3 seconds, waiting for the storage to
disconnect.  This loses on two counts:

1. Since the timeout is set to 1 second, it typically sleeps
   longer than necessary.

2. Since there's no predicting thread and process scheduling,
   3 seconds isn't always long enough, and rare failures have
   been reported against this test.

Instead we do a polling loop now.  This typically succeeds in
a little more than a second, speeding the normal case.  The
loop will continue trying for up to a minute if not.

Change default port # from 9999 to 8100, to match zope.conf
(well, on Zope trunk anyway -- the ZEO client example appears
to have gone missing from zope.conf on Zope3 trunk).

s/zeo/ZEO/ in logger name, to match other ZEO logger names.

Collector #1734.  Critical bug in BTree conflict resolution.

Stop silent data loss in some BTree cases where a transaction adds
a new key to a bucket while a concurrent transaction deletes all
keys from the same bucket.

Still needs porting to 3.2 line.

Various Zopes probably need changes too (to avoid the new deprecation
warnings).

Jim (Fulton) points out that it's not entirely clear that
the new format can't be read by older ZODBs, and Tim doesn't
think it's worth the bother to find out for sure.

Added news blurbs about fsIndex improvements, and about that
.index files written by 3.4 won't be readable by earlier ZODBs.
