hi,

what's the backward compatibility policy of zope?

i'm asking because while upgrading from 2.6.4 to 2.7.2 we had some
problems. simple ones (like the 'lines' property type seems to have
changed from list to tuple), but still problems.



From the cvs log of PropertyManager.py

So this change was driven by security issues. And btw. it *is* documented in the release notes:

"""
- Some property types were stored in a mutable data type (list) which
      could potentially allow untrusted code to effect changes on those
      properties without going through appropriate security checks in
      particular scenarios.

"""


i see..
thanks a lot...

it's just that this is documented in the 'bugfix' part.

i didn't expect bugfixes to change the api....

hmm.. it seems that i will have to read the whole changelog (what happened between 2.6.4 and 2.7.2 ;))
