What's new?

  URI
  - Add "resolve2" to the URI API (just uses "Path.resolve2" instead of
    "Path.resolve").
  - Fix path comparison (#30).
  - Many more unit tests (#30). By Hervé Cauwelier.

  Schemas
  - Improve programming interface: register_schema, get_schema,
    get_schema_by_uri, get_datatype and get_datatype_by_uri.

  Resources
  - New method "traverse2" (a more powerful version of "traverse").
  - Implement "is_locked" for Zope 2 resources. By Hervé Cauwelier.

  Handlers
  - Drop "to_unicode" from the API, now it is only 'to_str'.

  XML
  - New parser, a little faster and a little simpler (#52).

  STL
  - Improve API, now it is "stl(handler, namespace)".
  - Returns a byte string instead of a unicode string.

  XHTML
  - Add function "set_template_prefix" to the API, it modifies relative
    links (useful for example to move a document from one place on a
    tree to another).

  HTML
  - Update parser to be in sync with the XML parser.

  Catalog
  - Now it does not check for callable fields.
  - Keyword fields correctly index frozenset objects.

  Web
  - Use HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST (instead of our own REAL_HOST).
  - Deserialize and serialize cookies (uses itools.schemas).
  - Add "context.redirect" to the API. To be used instead of the lower
    level "response.redirect". It makes sure redirects are absolute (#62).
  - Add "context.has_cookie" to the API.
  - Fix PUT, LOCK and UNLOCK for Zope 2.
  - Add the response header fields 'Date', 'Connection' and 'Server'.

  Documentation
  - Update chapter about STL.

  Packaging

    Cauwelier.
