As SPE was being developed for more than a year in subversion, I
thought it is time for a release again. This is a major bugfix
release. It ships updated plugins and also some new features,
especially if you use Linux or Blender, for which Witold did a great
job. I would also like to thank in particular the webhost Zindep.com
for their support and patience.

New features:

    * new versions of WinPdb debugger, PyChecker, wxGlade & XRCed gui
designer
    * clear output pane
    * support for wxPython 2.8
    * linux support for nautilus, gnome-terminal, konqueror, konsole,
thunar
    * improved blender support up to 2.45 (by Witold)

Fixes:

    * sidebar sash more tolerant
    * show path in title (linux)
    * run with filename with spaces
    * nicer debug dialog box
    * kill process fix
    * notebook
    * insert signature
    * numpad keys (by isolationism)
    * find tab with nonexisting files
    * add environment to SPE.py (linux)
    * better warning for documentation for unsaved files
    * better handling of new empty files
    * many more...

Installing on Debian(unstable) and Ubuntu Hardy:

    sudo apt-get install spe

Installing on all other platforms:

   1. Download either the zip or tar ball from here
   2. Unzip it where you want and do NOT rename the _spe folder
   3. Start SPE from within the _spe folder with "python SPE.py"
