 New Features and Bug Fixes since v0.2, preview 1  Fixes and Enhancements since Version 0.5 alpha 1
   
  * Added a 'test' command to 'setup.py' that installs and then tests all of   - Added 'binding.whenAssembled(...)' as syntax sugar for
    TransWarp.  (It saves me time running the unit tests while I'm writing     'binding.Once(...,activateUponAssembly=True)'.
    new code.)  
   
  * Added warnings for detectable module-level modifications of mutables  
    in modules which are used for inheritances or advice.  Added an API  
    function, 'configure(object, attr1=val, attr2=val,...)' to safely  
    set attributes of mutables that might have been defined in a derived  
    module.  
   
  * Removed 'Meta.ClassInit' and '__class_init__' support.  Use metaclass  
    '__init__' methods instead; see 'TW.Database.DataModel.RecordTypeMC'  
    for one example of the conversion.  
   
  * Added 'SEF.bindToParent()', 'SEF.bindToNames()', and 'SEF.bindToSelf()'  
    descriptors, to allow more flexible component parameter bindings.  
   
  * Improved key integrity checks in DataModel: Record objects now disallow  
    modification of key fields unless the old value is None, and cache  
    collisions between records with supposedly unique keys will result in an  
    AssertionError.  
   
  * Added 'SET' method (ala WarpCORE's set_X procedures) to  
    TW.Utils.MiniTable.  
   
  * Added more docs to TW.Utils.Code, and removed 'iterFromEnd()' method  
    from code objects.  Added experimental 'nextSplit' index to codeIndex  
    objects that does top-level block analysis to allow splitting a code  
    object into smaller routines.  
   
  * Fixed the "reference to rebound class within another class" problem  
    with module inheritance, as reported by (who else?) Ulrich Eck.  :)  
   
  * Rewrote SEF "features" to use 'element.verbFeature()' style methods  
    instead of 'element.feature.verb()' style.  UML/XMI/Querying code  
    still uses the old-style SEF framework, which is still available from  
    'TW.SEF.FeatureObjects'.  See the docs of 'TW.SEF.Basic.FeatureMC'  
    and 'TW.API.Meta.MethodExporter' for details on how new-style methods  
    work.  
   
  * Fixed misc. bugs in 'DataModel', 'LDAPModel', 'Connections', and  
    'TW.Caching' found by Ulrich Eck.  Thanks Ulrich!  Also, added a fix  
    to ensure that non-existent records are invalidated by  
    'RecordType.getItem()'.  
   
  * Added basic Specialist implementation to 'TW.SEF.Basic', and reverted  
    naming from 'TypeService' and 'ITypeService' to 'Specialist' and  
    'ISpecialist'.  Updated 'TW.SEF.Interfaces' to reflect "self"-less  
    convention for documenting methods.  
   
  * Dropped obsolete 'TW.Database.Records' module.  
   
  * Fixed the base class "rebind by name" bugs in module inheritance, and  
    updated the documentation to more clearly reflect what it is that  
    metaclass generation and module inheritance does and does not do.  Added  
    test cases to prevent regression of the rebind-by-name problem.  
   
  * The 'setup.py' script features a new command, 'happy', which can be used  
    to generate the API reference docs, and this command runs as part of the  
    'sdist' command to build source distributions.  
   
  * The API reference docs in the source distribution has been moved from   - Removed 'LOG_XYZ' convenience functions from 'peak.api', and refactored
    the 'doc' directory to 'docs/html/reference'.     'peak.running.logs' to use a PEP 282-like interface, 'running.ILogger'.
      Under the new scheme, messages must be sent to a specific entry point
      (e.g. 'self.logger.warning("foo")').  Components can bind an attribute
      directly to a logger object, or via configuration properties or utilities.
      PEAK components that do logging all define a 'logger' attribute, bound
      to a configuration property in the 'peak.logs' property namespace.  By
      a default in 'peak.ini', 'peak.logs.*' is configured to output messages
      of 'WARNING' priority or higher to 'sys.stderr'.
   
      For compatibility with the PEP 282 logging package, a 'logging.logger:'
      URL scheme has been added; looking up the URL '"logging.logger:foo.bar"'
      is equivalent to 'logging.getLogger("foo.bar")', unless the 'logging'
      package is not available, in which case the configuration property
      'peak.logs.foo.bar' will be looked up in the target context of the
      lookup.  Optionally, you can configure the 'logging.logger' URL scheme so
      that it only uses PEAK loggers, and never uses the PEP 282 loggers.
   
    - Added 'binding.metamethod()' wrapper for metaclass methods that might
      not be accessible from their instances if the instances (classes) also
      defined the method for *their* instances.  You must now use this wrapper
      on any such metaclass-defined methods, as PEAK no longer works around
      this via the 'x.__class__.foo(x,...)' trick that was used previously.
      In particular, if you have metaclass definitions of 'getParentComponent',
      '_getConfigData', 'getComponentName', or 'notifyUponAssembly', you need
      to wrap them with 'binding.metamethod' now.
   
    - Fixed 'mof2py' generator script not working
   
    - Fixed model.Element not getting parent component set when passed as a
      constructor argument.
   
    - Fixed property/utility lookups not working correctly on model.*
      objects.
   
    - Fixed IndentedStream generating all-whitespace lines
   
    - Made 'NOT_GIVEN' and 'NOT_FOUND' recognizable by humans (they 'repr'
      and 'str' to their names) and by Python (they can be pickled, and
      when restored they come back as the same object).
   
  * Added 'CHANGES.txt' file.
