Release Notes

Notes:
1.1.0
-----

This release makes Bika compatible with Plone 2.1 and moves Bika onto the long awaited Zope 2.8 and ZODB 3.4. ZODB 3.4 has MVCC (multi version concurrency control) support. MVCC solves nearly every problem with ZODB read-conflict errors which is very important for high-traffic Zope sites. In simple terms, this should dramatically improve Bika's performance when used by many users concurrently. Performance is the focus of this release - we've spent hours making optimisations
throughout the codebase that make a noticeable difference to performance.

Another milestone is the inclusion of ATSchemaEditor. Using ATSchemaEditor, schemas of content types can be customised through the web. As a first step, we have put the schemas of Client, Contact, AnalysisRequest and Order under ATSchemaEditor's control. This improvement makes it possible to customise Bika for diverse lab environments and makes it less specific to a wine lab.

In addition, translations in Dutch, Italian, Portugese and Spanish have been incorporated. Thanks to Joris Goudriaan, Pierpaolo Baldan, Nuno R. Pinhão and Luis Espinoza for their contributions.
