    - 'config.fileNearModule()' is DEPRECATED, in favor of 'config.packageFile()'.
      The latter returns a 'naming.IStreamFactory', which is more suitable for
      working with e.g. module data files compressed in a zipfile.  Uses of
      'fileNearModule()' that were being passed to 'config.loadConfigFile()' can
      be safely changed to 'config.packageFile()' without needing any other code
      changes, but if you were directly using 'fileNearModule()' as a filename,
      you will need to rewrite appropriately.
   
    - 'config.loadConfigFile()' and 'config.loadConfigFiles()' now accept URLs,
      'naming.IStreamFactory' objects, and 'config.IStreamSource' objects as well
      as filenames.  This was primarily added to support use of
      'config.packageFile()' or 'pkgfile:' URLs, in place of using
      'config.fileNearModule()'.
   
    - There is a new 'config.IStreamSource' protocol, to make it easy to accept
      URLs, filenames, or 'naming.IStreamFactory' objects as the source of a
      "file".
   
      Its typical usage is just::
   
          factory = config.IStreamSource(data).getFactory(self)
          stream = factory.open('t')  # open for reading in text mode
   
      where 'data' is a string or a 'naming.IStreamFactory', and 'self' is a
      component to be used as lookup context.  The returned 'factory' is a
      'naming.IStreamFactory' that can then be '.open()'-ed for reading, or used
      in other ways as needed.
   
      Wherever practical, as we encounter them, we'll be changing PEAK API's that
      take filenames to also accept stream sources.
   
    - The 'naming.IStreamFactory' interface now has an 'address' attribute, which
      is the string form of the canonical URL of the target stream.  This was
      added to make it easier to e.g. report errors in a stream that's being
      parsed, since the parser only needs the factory in order to report the
      location of an error.  (Note: if you implement 'naming.IStreamFactory', be
      sure to add this attribute to your implementations.)
   
  - The 'peak.util.WSGIServer' module has been moved to the   - The 'peak.util.WSGIServer' module has been moved to the
    'wsgiref.simple_server' module.  The 'wsgiref' reference library for WSGI     'wsgiref.simple_server' module.  The 'wsgiref' reference library for WSGI
    (aka PEP 333) is now distributed with PEAK.     (aka PEP 333) is now distributed with PEAK.
