    Version 1.6.1 released.

2014-08-01  Ben Finney  <ben+python@benfinney.id.au>

    * Use unambiguous “except FooType as foo” syntax.
      This is to ease the port to Python 3, where the ambiguous comma
      usage is an error.
    * Ensure a ‘basestring’ name bound to the base type for strings.
      This is to allow checks to work on Python 2 and 3.
    * Specify versions of Python supported, as trove classifiers.

2014-05-20  Ben Finney  <ben+python@benfinney.id.au>

    * Update copyright notices.
    * Add editor hints for most files.
    * Distinguish continuation-line indentation versus block indentation.

2012-05-30  Ben Finney  <ben+python@benfinney.id.au>

    * Use unicode literals by default, specifying bytes where necessary.
      This is to ease the port to Python 3, where the string type is
      unicode.
    * Update copyright notices.
    * Update the GPL license file to version 3, as declared in our
      copyright notices.

2011-07-02  Ben Finney  <ben+python@benfinney.id.au>

    Version 1.6 released.

    * Use absolute imports to disambiguate provenance of names.
    * setup.py: Require ‘lockfile >=0.9’.
    * daemon/pidfile.py: Renamed from ‘daemon/pidlockfile.py’. Change
      references elsewhere to use this new name.
    * test/test_pidfile.py: Renamed from ‘test/test_pidlockfile.py’.
      Change references elsewhere to use this new name.
    * daemon/pidfile.py: Remove functionality now migrated to ‘lockfile’
      library.

2010-03-09  Ben Finney  <ben+python@benfinney.id.au>

    * Use ‘unicode’ data type for all text values.

    Version 1.5.5 released.

    * Stop using ‘pkg_resources’ and revert to pre-1.5.3 version-string
      handling, until a better way that doesn't break everyone else's
      installation can be found.

2010-02-27  Ben Finney  <ben+python@benfinney.id.au>

    Version 1.5.4 released.

    * MANIFEST.in: Explicitly include version data file, otherwise
      everything breaks for users of the sdist.

2010-02-26  Ben Finney  <ben+python@benfinney.id.au>

    Version 1.5.3 released.

    * daemon/daemon.py: Invoke the pidfile context manager's ‘__exit__’
      method with the correct arguments (as per
      <URL:http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#typecontextmanager>).
      Thanks to Ludvig Ericson for the bug report.
    * version: New plain-text data file to store project version string.
    * setup.py: Read version string from data file.
    * daemon/version/__init__.py: Query version string with ‘pkg_resources’.

      one (via a ‘fileno’ method) when determining which file descriptors
      to close. Thanks to Ask Solem for revealing this bug.
