 New Features and Bug Fixes since v0.2, preview 1  Fixes and Enhancements since Version 0.5 alpha 1
   
  * Added 'SEF.bindToParent()' and 'SEF.bindToNames()' specifiers to allow   Changed, Enhanced, or Newly Deprecated Features
    more flexible component parameter bindings.  
   
  * Fixed the base class "rebind by name" bugs in module inheritance, and   - 'binding.bindTo()' now accepts a 'default=' argument, whose value will be
    updated the documentation to more clearly reflect what it is that     used in case of a 'NameNotFound' error.
    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   - DEPRECATED 'naming.ParsedURL'.  It will disappear in 0.5 alpha 3 or beta.
    to generate the API reference docs, and this command runs as part of the     It is replaced by the new 'naming.URL.Base'.  The 'naming.URL' package
    'sdist' command to build source distributions.     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.
   
  * The API reference docs in the source distribution has been moved from     For more complex URL classes, the '__init__' methods go away, 'parse'
    the 'doc' directory to 'docs/html/reference'.     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
      'binding.Once(...,activateUponAssembly=True)'.
   
    - Removed 'LOG_XYZ' convenience functions from 'peak.api', and refactored
      '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.
   
    - 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 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.
   
    - 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
   
  * Added 'CHANGES.txt' file.
