1 Introduction

Version 0.4 is the first release to have proper documentation written in LaTeX with the Python documentation tools. Writing the documentation has brought up a few issues and simpler ways of doing things and this has resulted in almost all of the code being re-written again.

Deveopment will continue on the 0.4 branch and new features will be added to this branch since the code is not quite mature enough to warrant stable and unstable release branches.

New features include loads of bug fixes, ability to use keys in the web.database.object code, enhanced error handling, choice of how to handle NULL strings in web.form, lots of examples.
