Version numbering increase
--------------------------

- Reflect departure from TTW-development model
- Various backwards incompatible changes (removed code)
- Zope 3 vs. 4
Version numbers for Zope have been confusing in the past. The original Zope
project iterated trough version one to two up to version 2.13. In parallel
a separate project was launched using the name Zope 3. Zope 3 wasn't a new
version of the original Zope project and in hindsight should have used a
different project name. These days this effort is known as BlueBream.

In order to avoid confusion between the separate Zope 3 project and a new
version of this project, it was decided to skip ahead and use Zope 4.0 as the
next version number. The increase in the major part of the version also
indicates the clear intention to allow backwards incompatible changes.

Memory use
----------

- DateTime
- no more icons/images
- no more default content
- get some numbers for startup and startup after viewing the ZMI


Good bye TTW development
------------------------

- ZMI getting stripped down
- a lot less functionality OOTB
- fewer zope.conf options
Zope 4 depends on the new DateTime version 3. DateTime 3 has been optimized
for better memory use. Applications using a lot of DateTime values like the
Plone CMS have seen total memory usage to decrease by 10% to 20% for medium
to large deployments.
