A note for the developers -- my group finds this kind of documentation
vagueness
problematic; we have spent too much time chasing down minor or major
problems because
we chose the wrong subversion of Zope as a base. It seems common to be
told later by a
core developer "in the know" that we chose the wrong version of Zope
(2.95 instead of 2.96
for example) because "everybody' knows about this or that particualar
nasty bug.
I'd bet that in 90% of these cases, we have discovered the problem after
the release. The most recent example was the date/time problems in Zope,
which we didn't know about until after we had shipped that release of
Plone — and there was also no fixed release of Zope for a while, so there
wasn't much we could do about it until later.
A clear indiciation of the recommended Zope version in the "Full release
announcement"
would be most helpful. 2.9.7+ is too vague. If I were a niave user I
would choose Zope 2.10.3
and my intuition tells me that I would have problems because of that
choice.
The install text says that 2.10 will not work. Generally, you can never
use newer major versions of Zope than the one we state are compatible.
The main download page says:
Current release: Plone 2.5.3
Released May 18, 2007 — tested with Zope 2.9, Zope 2.8
…which should clue you in to the fact that Zope 2.10.x is not tested or
supported.
(We do have a bit of a special case with this particular release because
of the security fixes in a dot release of Zope, so we recommend the 2.9.7
release to make sure you are protected)
