This release will cause many existing buildouts to use older distributions than they do now. You can change this behavior by providing a prefer-final buildout option: [buildout] prefer-final = false I decided, with some prompting from Martin Aspeli, that this would be too disruptive. The latest release of zc.buildout still supports newest releases. To prefer final releases, you have to set the prefer-final option to true. In zc.buildout version 2, final releases will be prefered by default. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Python Powered!

Will the 2x release be picked up automatically because the stable policy isn't in 1x and it tries to update itself? Oh wait, I might get stuck with b29 until 1.0 comes out which in turn will prefer 2x. Huh? :) Anyway: Yay for 1.0! Yay for preferring stable releases!
