Pyjamas 0.8.1~+alpha1 released

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

This is the 0.8.1~+alpha1 release of Pyjamas.  Pyjamas comprises several
projects, one of which is a stand-alone python-to-javascript compiler; other
projects include a Graphical Widget Toolkit, such that pyjamas applications
can run either in web browsers as pure javascript (with no plugins required)
or stand-alone on the desktop (as a competitor to PyGTK2 and PyQT4).

This announcement marks the beginning of the pyjamas 0.8.1 release
candidates.  Operating Systems, Browsers and Desktop Engines tested so
far are listed here:
    http://code.google.com/p/pyjamas/issues/list

Downloads are available from the usual places:
    http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pyjamas
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyjamas/files/pyjamas/0.8.1/

Pyjamas is slowly converting to running its own infrastructure using pyjamas
applications (which also operate as Desktop applications).  This includes:

* http://pyjs.org/pygit/ - a git repository viewer using python-git
* http://lists.pyjs.org/mail/ - a list viewer using lamson's json archive
* http://pyjs.org - a simple web engine using AJAX to get HTML pages
* the wiki http://pyjs.org/wiki is next (using python-dulwich)

The full source code of each of these applications is available and can be
used for projects and purposes other than for pyjamas itself.
