What's New in Pippy 0.7?
========================

Optimized printing to the screen

Added more tests from the test suite

Added patch to resourcer that allows path renaming in the .pyc files (submitted
by Lawrence Hudson <lhudson@geminidataloggers.com>)

Added palmemumodule.c for accessing the Host* API on POSE

Ported cPickle and cStringIO

Made Pippy compatible with the CodeWarrior development environment

Reduced gratuitous type checking with strings

Replaced memory manager for improved malloc/free efficiency

Moved larger dictionary internals to the DM

Moved interned strings to the DM

Moved code objects and some internals to DM

Rewrote various import routines that were consuming too much time.

Eliminated various stack variables, making them dynamic instead.

Refactored the socket module to allow the exportation of the socket API.

Added two new functions to the time module:

	1.  ticks()	- exposes the PalmOS function TimGetTicks()
	2.  tickstotime(ticks[, unit_flag=TIME_IN_MSEC]) - converts the ticks to
	time, where unit_flag indicates the unit of measure and is one of:
		TIME_IN_USEC - time in microseconds
		TIME_IN_MSEC - time in milliseconds
		TIME_IN_SEC - time in seconds

INTERFACE MODIFICATION.  Changed the interface to time.sleep(arg), where arg
is an integer value containing the time in milliseconds.

Added some debugging/instrumenting code:

	Added the method sys.getallocations(), used for debugging purposes.
	Added some capability for logging memory allocations to the host from POSE.
	Added capability to count allocations and deallocations.  Provided a function
	for accessing these values.
	Added typesize().

Fixed memory leak in stringobject.c

Reduced CO_MAXBLOCKS from 20 down to 5.  This saves a considerable amount of
memory in the frame object.

Added experimental Memo Database importer.  To test:
	1.  Add the category "Python" to the Memo application
	2.  The title (eg, first line) in each Memo should contain a commented
	module name (eg, # mymodule.py)
	3.  Subsequent lines contain the actual Python source code
	4.  Install the importer by entering the following on the command line:
		import memoimp; memoimp.install()
	5.  You're ready to import from the Memo application
	6.  To restore the original importer, type
		memoimp.uninstall()
