Re: [ZODB-Dev] Upgraded from ZODB 3.8 to 3.10, do I need to upgrade my Data.fs?

Many thanks, this helps to clear things up. Those new features look great. We do store a few large objects so I will look at moving them over to blobs. -Paul On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 9:17 AM, Hanno Schlichting ha...@hannosch.eu wrote: Paul Warner paul.warner at gmail.com writes: We have been running an in house application on ZODB 3.8.2 and recently upgraded to 3.10.5.

We have been running an in house application on ZODB 3.8.2 and recently upgraded to 3.10.5. We run a ZEO server with FileStorage. It seems like everything works great, no actions on our part, but I wondered if it is suggested to some how migrate the on disk FileStorage to take advantage of new features or optimizations in 3.10?
