Fixes and Enhancements since Version 0.5 alpha 3 - Added 'ref:factory@addr' URL scheme that maps to a corresponding 'naming.Reference("factory",["addr"])'. 'factory' can be either a dotted import string referencing a 'naming.IObjectFactory', or you can define a factory in the 'peak.naming.factories' property space. - Added a 'zconfig.schema' factory, so that 'ref:zconfig.schema@streamURL' will load a schema loader. Schema loaders are themselves object factories, so you can do something like: [Named Services] peak.naming.factories.myschema = \ naming.LinkRef('ref:zconfig.schema@pkgfile:mypkg/Schema.xml') in order to make URLs like 'ref:myschema@filename' work. Note, by the way, that the above could also read: [Named Services] peak.naming.factories.myschema = \ naming.Reference('zconfig.schema',['pkgfile:mypkg/Schema.xml']) which runs somewhat faster at lookup time. Similarly, one can also use 'naming.Reference("myschema",["somefile"])' in place of a 'naming.LinkRef("ref:myschema@filename")'. As well as being faster, for some use cases it's easier to 'Reference' directly than to glue together a 'ref:' URL string.
