Introduction
What is the Puffin Automation Framework and how does it differ
from the earlier versions of Puffin?

The Puffin Automation Framework (Puffin) picks up where the
original Puffin web application testing tool stopped. You can
still use Puffin to do web testing (and it's even easier and
more powerful than it was before). But now, you can do a great
deal more!

Changes in Version 0.9:
1) Total architectural rewrite.
2) Extendable now in Python.
3) Not backwards compatible.
4) More flexibility in plan.xml files (repeats, etc).
5) Great new reporting features (HTML/XML).
6) Better failed task alerting (email, file log, etc).

Caveats:
1) 0.9 is a *HUGE* change from previous versions (i.e. not backwards
compatible).
2) The old Puffin docs are out of date (though still useful).
3) More docs are on their way -- I promise.

Thanks:
1) Brian Norman. Tirelessly helping me server the GNU/Linux and UNIX
communities.
2) Bryan Richard. HTML help. General support.
3) Ernie Hershey. For the demo app, etc.
4) Others!

And, as always, contact me immediately should you run into any
problems.
