Hi folks,

There's a new version of TransactionAgents available here:

   http://cat-box.net/steve/TransactionAgents-0.0.4.tar.gz

As usual, you can read the release notes in

   ZPatterns/ZED_PATTERNS_RELEASE_NOTES.txt

Changes since 0.0.3:

* Fixed bug in ZPatterns/DataSkins.py that wrongly assumed the
   existence of 'id' in the instance __dict__. This stopped
   DataSkins + Folder w/ Customizer Support working properly.


Be sure to read ZPatterns/ZED_PATTERNS_RELEASE_NOTES.txt. There's a copy 
of them here for easy reading:

Summary for those who've missed the previous releases:

   TransactionAgents is a drop-in replacement for ZPatterns.
   It is based on the ZPatterns code in the eby-sarna.com CVS
   repository. However, it works differently under the hood.

   Any new features in TransactionAgents that aren't in the
   "official" ZPatterns should be considered experimental,
   as they may or may not get adpoted as features of the
   official ZPatterns.

   At present, these experimental features are the new
   SkinScript syntax for indexing agents, the extensions
   to ZODB.Transaction.Transaction and the behaviour of
   Triggers that commit subtransactions.
