Hi all,

on behalf of Zope Corporation and the Zope community I am pleased to announce the release of Zope 2.9.6. You can download the sources and the Windows version from

http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.9.7/

This bugfix release corrects the vulnerability addressed in the 2007/03/20 Hotfix. You may remove that hotfix product from your instances after upgrading to this version of Zope.

Some new features of Zope 2.9:

• ZODB 3.6
• Five 1.3
• integration for Zope 3 events for object creation and deletion
• Zope 3 i18n integration for page templates

Support Python versions:

Zope 2.9 requires Python 2.4.3+ (Python 2.4.2 is still acceptable). Older Python versions are no longer supported. Also Python 2.5 is unsupported (and not working).
