Here is the list of changes:
0.2.0 - Significant refactoring
------------------------------------------------
06-Feb-2006

0.2.0 Significant refactoring
------------------------------------------------
06-Feb-2006

    * Changed how windows are searched for (from application)
      This chage should not be a significant change for users

    * Started adding unit tests (and the have already uncovered bugs
      that been fixed). They also point to areas of missing functionality
      that will be addded with future updates

    * Changed from property access to Control attributes to function access
      If your code was accessing properties of controls then this might be a
      significant change! The main reasons for doing this were due to the
      inheritability of properties (or lack there-of!) and the additional
      scafolding that was required to define them all.

    * Updated the ``DialogWrapper.MenuSelect()`` method to notify the parent
      that it needs to initialize the menu's before it retrieves the items

    * Added functionality to associate 'non-text' controls with the 'text'
      control closest to them. This allows controls to be referenced by::

        app.dlg.<Nearby_text><Window_class>

      e.g. to reference the "Footer" edit control in the Page Setup dialog
      you could use::

        app.PageSetup.FooterEdit

    * Added a MoveWindow method to HwndWrapper

    * Did some more cleanup (fixing pylint warnings) but still not finished

    * Added some better support for .NET controls (not to be considered final)
