+2.0b5 (Jan 7, 2006)
+  !!!THIS RELEASE REQUIRES RECOMPILATION OF ALL COMPILED CHEETAH TEMPLATES!!!
+  Core Changes: [TR]    
+    - made Cheetah.Template a new-style class by inserting 'object' into its'
+      inheritance tree.  Templates can now use super(), properties and all the
+      other goodies that come with new-style classes.
+    - removed the WebInputMixin by placing its one method directly in the
+      Template class.
+    - removed the SettingsManager Mixin. It wasn't being used by anything
+      anymore.
+    - added a framework for caching the results of compilations in
+      Template.compile().  This is on by default and protects against bad
+      performance issues that are due to programmers misguidedly compiling
+      templates inside tight loops.  It also saves on memory usage.
+    - misc attr name changes to avoid namespace pollution
+    - more + improved docstrings
+    - replaced the oldstyle dynamic compile hacks with a wrapper around
+      Template.compile().  The old usage pattern Template(src) now benefits from
+      most of the recent changes.  
+         Template(src).__class__ == Template.compile(src)
+    - removed all the extra imports required by oldstyle dynamic compile hacks
+    - converted the cheetah #include mechanism to newstyle compilation and made it
+      more flexible
+    - made the #include mechanism work with file objects in addition to file names
+    - made the handling of args to Template.compile() more flexible.  You can now
+      provide defaults via class attributes.
+    - made preprocessors for Template.compile() work with file arguments
+    - added support for specifying a __metaclass__ on cheetah template classes
+    - refactored both the class and instance initialization processes
+    - improved the handling of __str__ in _assignRequiredMethodsToClass
+
+  The command line tool (CheetahWrapper.py):  [TR]
+    - improved error output in CheetahWrapper
+    - switched fill command over to new style compile usage
+
+  Unit tests: [TR]
+    - fixed format string bug in unittest_local_copy.py
