Hello, 

The major news this week is the availability of the first preview
release of Zope 1.11.0. This release introduces a lot of exciting new
stuff, including many enhancements contributed by community members.

  * Zope 1.11.0 preview release 1 was released. This is the first look
at a major new release. This release adds a lot of new features
including the mysterious ZClasses. Those who like stable releases should
stick with 1.10.2 until 1.11.0 stabilizes a bit.
