State Release candidate

This release is another major release : users now have feedback in order to be sure that the whole edition, save and lock management was fine.

They get a message when zopeedit is about to close, and they can decide to keep it alive. This allows to use every editor without need of plug-in.

 

This is still a beta version. It may have bugs or issues. If you try it, please send us some feedback.
