This is a branch from the 2.9 tag to try to repair that.
Changes here will be limited to the WinBuilder stuff.

Fix cleanup of five:traversable.

If one class was set to have a localsite hook twice, removing the hook
would be attempted twice during the cleanup of unit tests, and the tests
would fail.

      - Collector #1939: When running as a service, Zope could
        potentially collect too much log output filling the NT Event
        Log. When that happened, a 'print' during exception handling
        would cause an IOError in the restart code causing the service
        not to restart automatically.

        Problem is that a service/pythonw.exe process *always* has an
        invalid sys.stdout.  But due to the magic of buffering, small
        print statements would not fail - but once the file actually
        got written to, the error happened.  Never a problem when
        debugging, as the process has a console, and hence a valid
        stdout.

the 'charset' field is automatically if not specified by the
application. The 'charset' is determined by the content-type header
specified by the application (if available) or from the
zpublisher_default_encoding value as configured in etc/zope.conf

level at which conflict errors (which are normally retried
automatically) are logged. The default is 'info'.

This doesn't interfere with the error_log site object which copies
non-retried conflict errors the the error log at level 'error'.

(Made sure logging is configured. Read $INSTANCE_HOME/log.ini if it exists.)

     - Collector #1976: FTP STOR command would load the file being
       uploaded in memory. Changed to use a TemporaryFile.

import directories. (Merged from trunk.)

Thanks to Tim Peters for pointing out the flaw!

o ZODB 3.6 properly removed it, but Zope needs to keep it for another release
  because ZODB released *twice* during the Zope 2.9 release cycle.

first beta due to the now zpkg-based build and release process.

No commit message

The reason for that is because zpkg and distutils can't deal with arbitrary
data files that don't belong to a certain package.
