When committing transactions involving blobs to ClientStorages with
  non-shared blob directories, a failure could occur in tpc_finish if
  there was insufficient disk space to copy the blob file or if the
  file wasn't available.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/zodb/+bug/224169

Now link/copy file when storeBlob is called.

  Objects defining _p_deactivate methods that didn't call base methods
  weren't loaded properly. https://bugs.launchpad.net/zodb/+bug/185066

for objects that don't use slots, which are the vast majority of
persistent objects.

while cleaning up removed blob files.

Also refactored the code slightly for clarity.

Also, stop producing legacy PersistentMapping state, while still
accepting it.

Simplified the file-storage configuration a bit.  Eliminated
duplication of defaults between the Python and ZConfig interfaces.

- Fixed vulnerabilities in the ZEO network protocol that allow:

CVE-2009-0668 Arbitrary Python code execution in ZODB ZEO storage servers
  CVE-2009-0669 Authentication bypass in ZODB ZEO storage servers

- Limit the number of object ids that can be allocated at once to
  avoid running out of memory.

- The "lawn" layout was being selected by default if the root of
  the blob directory happened to contain a hidden file or directory
  such as ".svn".  Now hidden files and directories are ignored
  when choosing the default layout.

- BlobStorage was not compatible with MVCC storages because the
  wrappers were being removed by each database connection.  There
  was also a problem with subtransactions.  Fixed.

----------

- Simplified the setup script in hopes of working with bdist_rpm.

- Fixed the setup test command.  It previously depended on private
  functions in zope.testing.testrunner that don't exist any more.

default to local host.

----------

- ZEO protocol 2 support was broken.  This caused very old clients to
  be unable to use new servers.

----------

- ZEO client threads were unnamed, making it hard to debug thread
  management.

avoid spurious test failures.
