 New Features and Bug Fixes since v0.2, preview 1  Fixes and Enhancements since Version 0.5 alpha 3
   
  * Added a 'test' command to 'setup.py' that installs and then tests all of   - Added 'ref:factory@addr' URL scheme that maps to a corresponding
    TransWarp.  (It saves me time running the unit tests while I'm writing     'naming.Reference("factory",["addr"])'.  'factory' can be either a dotted
    new code.)     import string referencing a 'naming.IObjectFactory', or you can define
      a factory in the 'peak.naming.factories' property space.
  * Added warnings for detectable module-level modifications of mutables  
    in modules which are used for inheritances or advice.  Added an API   - Added a 'zconfig.schema' factory, so that 'ref:zconfig.schema@streamURL'
    function, 'configure(object, attr1=val, attr2=val,...)' to safely     will load a schema loader.  Schema loaders are themselves object factories,
    set attributes of mutables that might have been defined in a derived     so you can do something like:
    module.  
        [Named Services]
  * Removed 'Meta.ClassInit' and '__class_init__' support.  Use metaclass       peak.naming.factories.myschema = \
    '__init__' methods instead; see 'TW.Database.DataModel.RecordTypeMC'           naming.LinkRef('ref:zconfig.schema@pkgfile:mypkg/Schema.xml')
    for one example of the conversion.  
      in order to make URLs like 'ref:myschema@filename' work.  Note, by the way,
  * Added 'SEF.bindToParent()', 'SEF.bindToNames()', and 'SEF.bindToSelf()'     that the above could also read:
    descriptors, to allow more flexible component parameter bindings.  
        [Named Services]
  * Improved key integrity checks in DataModel: Record objects now disallow       peak.naming.factories.myschema = \
    modification of key fields unless the old value is None, and cache           naming.Reference('zconfig.schema',['pkgfile:mypkg/Schema.xml'])
    collisions between records with supposedly unique keys will result in an  
    AssertionError.     which runs somewhat faster at lookup time.  Similarly, one can also use
      'naming.Reference("myschema",["somefile"])' in place of a
  * Added 'SET' method (ala WarpCORE's set_X procedures) to     'naming.LinkRef("ref:myschema@filename")'.  As well as being faster, for
    TW.Utils.MiniTable.     some use cases it's easier to 'Reference' directly than to glue together
      a 'ref:' URL string.
  * 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  
    the 'doc' directory to 'docs/html/reference'.  
   
  * Added 'CHANGES.txt' file.
