RELEASE-0.62.0

itools 0.62.0 (2010/07/19)
==========================

itools is a Python library, it groups a number of packages into a single
meta-package for easier development and deployment:

  itools.abnf             itools.i18n             itools.rss
  itools.core             itools.ical             itools.srx
  itools.csv              itools.log              itools.stl
  itools.database         itools.loop             itools.tmx
  itools.datatypes        itools.odf              itools.uri
  itools.fs               itools.office           itools.web
  itools.gettext          itools.pdf              itools.workflow
  itools.git              itools.pkg              itools.xliff
  itools.handlers         itools.python           itools.xml
  itools.html             itools.relaxng          itools.xmlfile
  itools.http             itools.rest

This is the companion release of ikaaro [1] 0.62 (the CMS).  In this
development cycle most work has gone to ikaaro, so the itools 0.62
release has relatively few changes, mostly about code organization.

The new itools.database package contains code previously found in
itools.handlers, itools.xapian and ikaaro (actually, the itools.xapian
package has been completely merged into itools.database).  This is the
beginning of a versioned document database system (yet another nosql [2]
solution).

The new itools.loop package is a thin wrapper around the glib main
loop [3].  It adds a few small features: running it in profile mode
or not, handling a pid file, ...  More stuff is planned for future
releases.

The package itools.soup has been merged into itools.http; some high
level features from itools.http have been moved to itools.web.  This
makes itools.http to be just a "Web Server", and itools.web to be a
"Web Framework".

Support for timezones in the iCalendar file format (itools.ical) has
been improved.
