Docs for undoLog() and undoInfo().

Irony:  While these are the only accurate docs that
exist, FileStorage doesn't actually implement it this
way.  Fixing that is the next step.

Combine the news items from the last 8 "internal
releases" -- had become impossible to follow.

An internal 3.4a8 release, to test Zope2 with ZAapplication moved.

ZApplication.py is moving to Zope trunk.

__call__() got broken about a year ago.

There are no tests for this.

Fixed some incorrect comments.

Fix obscure bug.

If a threaded transaction manager ever passed None to
the Transaction constructor's `synchronizers` argument, then
synchronizers registered later in the same transaction
were invisible to the transaction, and so their afterCompletion()
methods wouldn't get called when the transaction ended.

`synchs` can be None -- deal with it.  Reported by Gary Poster.

ISynchronizer grows a newTransaction() method, called
whenever TransactionManager.begin() is called.

Connection implements that, and changes its ISynchronizer
afterCompletion() method, to call sync() on its storage
(if the storage has such a method), and to process
invalidations in any case.

The bottom line is that storage sync() will get done "by
magic" now after top-level commit() and abort(), and after
explicit TransactionManager.begin().  This should make it
possible to deprecate Connection.sync(), although I'm not
doing that yet.  Made a small but meaningful start by
purging many sync() calls from some of the nastiest ZEO
tests -- and they still work fine.

Partial savepoint review.

Added more comments.  Changed some comments to English.
Renamed some attributes and methods for clarity.
Switched to using a Python WeakKeyDictionary instead of
rolling our own out of a Python dict and raw weakrefs.

Port from ZODB 3.2.

Added new test checkSubtxnCommitDoesntGetInvalidations to
verify that a longstanding bug in subtransaction commit is
repaired.

Jim (Fulton) discovered this in ZODB 3.4's code, while implementing
savepoint/rollback.  Same bugs had been there at least since ZODB 3.1.

Also added news about the bug.

There is no logging level named EXCEPTION.

Changed the strategy for managing savepoints.  The requirements
for savepoint management are:

- All savepoints for a transaction should be invalidated when the
  transaction commits or aborts

- If a savepoint is rolled back, then all savepoints after it within
  a transaction must be invalidated.

We previously implemented these requirements by organizing transaction
savepoints into a doubly linked list.  This was overkill.  We didn't
have need for such fine-grained ordering.  This strategy had the
disadvantage that it kept all savepoints around until the transaction
ended.  Savepoints could be expensive to keep and it's possible that
some applications could keep a lot of them.

The new stragey is to:

- Keep weak references to savepoints.  We can forget about savepoints
  that the application isn't using.  Any resources used by these
  savepoints can be freed.

(We have to keep a strong reference to the last savepoint used for
  a subtransaction.)

- We assign indexes to savepoints within a transaction.  When a
  savepoint is rolled back, in addition to invalidating that
  savepoint, we also invalidate savepoints with a higher index.

A side effect of this change is that code using the savepoint API
should interfere less with code using subtransactions.  Of course, we
really need to phase out code that uses subtransactions.

It is likely that we can leverage this change in strategy to speed
creation of ZODB connection savepoints.  Creating a ZODB connection
savepoint now requires copying the savepoint storage index.  This
index could become large.  If applications aren't holding on to old
savepoints, then it is possible that we could avoid this copy.

Trimmed trailing whitespace.

Repaired NEWS format; predicted the next release will be 3.4b1.

A ``getBeforeCommitHooks()`` method has been added to Transaction. It
returns an iterable producing the registered beforeCommit hooks.

Interface repairs, of many kinds.

Fixed a bug in savepoint rollback.  It's not enough to rollback
just the savepoint being rolled back because later savepoints
might involved data managers that hadn't joined when the savepoint
being rolled back was created.

Now, when a data manager joins and we have savepoints, we create a
data manager savepoint for the new data manager and add the
datamanager savepoint to all previous transaction savepoints.  Note
that this data manager savepoint can be a special savepoint that just
calls abort on the data manager when it is rolled back.

ZEO version numbers the same (an auto-merge could do
very little of this correctly!).

Port ZEO changes for Windows from ZODB 3.2.

In addition, repaired the useless default logging in runzeo.py.

Here's Sidnei's Zope 2.7 checkin comment:

* Borrow Zope's 'Signal' mechanism for Windows, if available, to
  implement clean shutdown and log rotation handlers for Windows.

* Back to creating a .PID for ZEO, so external programs that wish to set
  the 'signal' can get the PID and therefore derive the signal name.
  Currently only necessary on Windows but created on all platforms which
  implement os.getpid(), as long as the 'pid-filename' option is set,
  or the 'INSTANCE_HOME' environment variable can be found.

Port from ZODB 3.2.

DemoStorage:  Added implementations for registerDB() and new_oid().  As
Tres discovered the hard way, wrapping a ZEO client storage as a
DemoStorage base storage yields insane behavior otherwise.

BaseStorage.new_oid():  Rewrite to eliminate recursion, and hence also the
need for the undocumented and irregular `last=` argument.

Other:  removed the `last=` argument to new_oid() every place that felt
compelled to spread that insanity ;-).  Seriously, it served no purpose
at all elsewhere, and looks like people just cut 'n pasted in fear.

Delayed news about old fsdump improvement.

This is revs 29961 and 29965.

test_cache():  Muck with Python's warnings module.

The test didn't work if run more than once (e.g., via Zope3's
test.py's "-N <n>" argument, or via ZODB's test.py's "-L"
argument), because the warnings module suppresses warnings
after the first from a single line.  Made the warnings module
report repeats of DeprecationWarnings for the duration of
the test.

Merge ZODB/branches/efge-beforeCommitHook.

This is Florent Guillaume's branch, giving transaction objects
a new beforeCommitHook() method, as proposed by Jim Fulton on
zodb-dev.  Some changes were made to the branch code (comments,
more tests, more words in the docs).

Merge the ZODB part of Zope/branches/jim-fix-zclasses.

    There's really no point, because created objects will be unreachable

    non-ghostifiable, it will try to load it's state again, and then
    either it would fail or it would load non-committed state.
