Hi Jürgen, Zope and Plone are still two different projects. The Plone developers published a hotfix product that fixes everything they believe needed to be fixed. I looked at items that apply to plain Zope and made the required changes in Zope.
So anyone using plain Zope can install the latest update and they are safe. As a plain Zope developer I cannot comment on or make recommendations regarding a Plone hotfix, and Zope itself will never require a Plone add-on or hotfix. I don’t have any control over how the Plone release managers communicate these fixes, either. People who do not use Plone are advised to stick to published Zope updates. jens > On 21.
