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.

Please consult migration.txt in the distribution tarball if you are
