Ups:

$ head -25 HISTORY.txt 
Formulator changes

   1.11.3

     Bugs fixed

       - Field Validators 'validate' functions did not accept unicode
         values as input on fields that require unicode.

       - Zope 2.10 compatibility: "MessageIDFactory" got renamed to
         "MessageFactory"; same for "MessageID"; the monkey to allow
         this class got influenced, too, so all ZODB importing that
         class need to be updated, too (Problem reported by Yinghoong
         Chan and Josef Meile)

       - Zope 2.10 event handling. Formulator now uses Zope 3 style
         event handling so that no deprecation warnings are seen
         anymore.

       - in Zope 2.10 copy & paste of fields did not work anymore, as
         apparently Zope now requires permission info in the data
         structure returned by all_meta_types. We have created a new
         permission "Add Formulator Fields" which is checked when you
         create a formulator field, or copy & paste it.

> Plone 3.x depends on zope2.10. The concept of Formulator is outdated

Well, this might be correct - but there are applications out there which
use formulator.

Regrarding the changelog I quoted above this does not seem true.  I
was not able to finally test it on my box (because of other issues).

Kind regards and thanks for your input anyway

        Andreas.
