[Neo-users] [ANNOUNCE] NEO 1.3

[Julien Muchembled]

Hi,

With pleasure we announce the release of NEO 1.3, which is published on pypi as "neoppod":
  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/neoppod

- Version 1.2 added a new 'Importer' storage backend but it had 2 bugs.

  - An interrupted migration could not be resumed.
  - Merging several ZODB only worked if NEO could import all classes used by
    the application. This has been fixed by repickling without loading any
    object.

- Logging has been improved for a better integration with the environment:

  - RTMIN+1 signal was changed to reopen logs. RTMIN+1 & RTMIN+2 signals, which
    were previously used for debugging, have been remapped to RTMIN+2 & RTMIN+3
  - In Zope, client registers automatically for log rotation (USR2).
  - NEO logs are SQLite DB that are not open anymore with a persistent journal,
    because this is incompatible with the rename+reopen way to rotate logs,
    and we want to support logrotate.
  - 'neolog' can now open gzip/bz2 compressed logs transparently.
  - 'neolog' does not spam the console anymore when piped to a process that
    exits prematurely.

- MySQL backend has been updated to work with recent MariaDB (>=10).
- 2 'neomaster' command-line options were added to set upstream cluster/masters.

Regards,
The NEO team.
