[ANN] pyx12-1.3.0 released

[John Holland]

pyx12-1.3.0 is available at http://pyx12.sourceforge.net/

What is Pyx12?
==============
Pyx12 is a HIPAA X12 document validator and converter. X12 files are a
form of electronic data interchange.  The HIPAA transaction standard
requires certain types of healthcare data to be transmitted in this
form.

Pyx12 parses an ANSI X12N (Healthcare) data file and validates it
against a representation of the Implementation Guidelines for a HIPAA
transaction. By default, it creates a 997 response. It can also create
an annotated HTML representation of the X12 document or can translate
to and from several XML representations of the data file.

What's New:
===========
The map structure has been normalized, resulting in an approximate 25%
performance increase.

Unit tests and fixes for all reported bugs:
  Segment counting bug for LS/LE loops
  834/LUI segment matching
  997 ISA segment
  Removed "valid code" restriction from 837/2300/HI (Condition Codes)
  Invalid loop counting error with multiple GS loops

Date validation - Dates prior to 1/1/1800 are now considered invalid.

Improve 997 generation - better ISA, GS, and ST loop handling.

Added new Claim Adjustment Reason Codes (code source 139).

Fix 278 loop structure.

More unit and functional tests.
