 Fixes and Enhancements since Version 0.5 alpha 1  Fixes and Enhancements since Version 0.5 alpha 1
   
  - Refactored naming.ParsedURL to be a peak.model.Struct; this means that   Changed, Enhanced, or Newly Deprecated Features
    existing ParsedURL subclasses will need to be revised if they used fields  
    other than 'scheme' and 'body'.  See PEAK's ParsedURL subclasses for   - DEPRECATED use of '__implements__' and '__class_implements__' to declare
    examples of the needed changes.  Mainly, '__init__' methods go away,     support for interfaces.  Use 'implements()', 'classProvides()',
    'parse' methods change slightly, and explicit field definitions (using     'directlyProvides()', 'moduleProvides()', etc. to do this now; they
    'model.structField' or similar) are required.     are now available automatically from 'peak.api'.
   
    - The signatures of the 'getObjectInstance()', 'getStateToBind()', and
      'getURLContext()' methods in the 'peak.naming' package have changed, to
      place the context or parent component as the first, non-optional argument.
      (If you don't know what these methods are for, you don't need to do anything
      about this, as they are part of the naming package's extensibility
      framework.)
   
    - 'EigenRegistry' and 'PropertyMap' no longer attempt to figure out whether
      implied (i.e. inherited) interfaces are more or less general with respect
      to a previous registration.  This was behavior that emulated Zope adapter
      registries, but what we really wanted was more akin to a Zope "type"
      registry.  The only parts of the test suite that used the old behavior
      were the tests specifically written to ensure that behavior!
   
    - 'binding.bindTo()' now accepts a 'default=' argument, whose value will be
      used in case of a 'NameNotFound' error.
   
    - DEPRECATED 'naming.ParsedURL'.  It will disappear in 0.5 alpha 3 or beta.
      It is replaced by the new 'naming.URL.Base'.  The 'naming.URL' package
      provides a new URL parsing framework based on 'peak.model'.  Upgrading from
      'ParsedURL' to 'URL.Base' is trivial for ParsedURL subclasses that used
      only the 'scheme' and 'body' fields, and in fact may not require any
      changes except for the choice of base class.
   
      For more complex URL classes, the '__init__' methods go away, 'parse'
      methods change slightly, and explicit field definitions (using
      'model.structField' or similar) are required.  See PEAK's 'URL.Base'
      subclasses for examples.  There is also a sophisticated parsing and
      formatting framework (see the 'peak.naming.URL' and 'peak.util.fmtparse'
      modules) that can be used in place of the old regex-based approach.
   
    - Added 'peak.util.fmtparse', a parsing and formatting framework, and
      integrated it with 'peak.model' so that any element type can have a
      syntax for parsing from, or formatting to, a string.
   
  - Added 'binding.whenAssembled(...)' as syntax sugar for   - Added 'binding.whenAssembled(...)' as syntax sugar for
    'binding.Once(...,activateUponAssembly=True)'.     'binding.Once(...,activateUponAssembly=True)'.

    - 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).
   
   
    Corrected Problems
   
    - Fixed 'naming.lookup()' and related APIs not setting the parent component
      of created objects without an explicitly supplied 'creationParent' keyword
      argument.  This used to "sort of work" when we had implicit configuration
      parents, but was broken when we went "all explicit" for 0.5 alpha 1.
   
    - Fixed a problem where initializing single-valued immutable fields of
     'peak.model' types did not perform type/value normalization.
   
    - Fixed a problem where bindTo would use the attribute name as the
      default value for a lookup, if the requested name/property/utility
      was not found.
