GadflyB5 1.0.0 pr1 - SQL Relational Database in Python
======================================================

Gadfly is a relational database system implemented in Python based on the
SQL Structured Query Language. This is the GadflyB5 release - like a NG
release only better :)

Note: Aaron Watters is not the contact for this project. The contact for
this project is richard@users.sourceforge.net.

Gadfly requires python 2.1 or later for correct operation.

This is the first Gadfly release in a long time, and has some significant
changes. Mostly it's the same old Gadfly, but:

- updated to use new regular expression engine (regex -> re migration)
  performed by the fine folk at the Zope Corporation (http://www.zope.com/).
- kjbuckets C extension module maintenance and updates (see the kjbuckets
  documentation for details)
- documentation cleanup
- cleanup and reorganisation of the gadfly modules, including:

  - migration to distutils-based installation
  - cleanup of SQL grammar marshalling
  - more strict (in places) unit/regression testing
  - general cleanup of the code itself
  - cleanup of networking code (note: gfclient argument list has changed!)

Please read CHANGES.txt for a complete list of changes since the last
release. There is no ongoing support available for usage, unless someone
volunteers. If you have found a bug, please submit an issue to the bug
tracker at:

If you've got a great idea for gadfly, and have the time to work on it,
