Here is the list of changes from 0.3.3:

0.3.4 Fixed issue with latest ctypes, speed gains, other changes
------------------------------------------------------------------
25-Apr-2006

* The latest version of ctypes (0.9.9.6) removed the code generator
  I was using some generated code in win32functions.py (stdcall). I
  was not using those functions so I just commented them out.

* Started the process of renaming methods of the ``Application`` and
  ``WindowSpecification`` classes. I will be converting names to
  ``UppercaseNames_()``. The trailing ``_`` is to disambiguate the
  method names from potential Window titles.

* Updated how print_control_identifiers works so that it now always
  prints the disambiguated control name. (even for single controls)

* Added __hash__ to HwndWrapper so that controls could be dictionary
  keys.

* Caching various information at various points. For example I cache
  how well two pieces of text match. For short scripts this has
  little impact - but for larger script it could well have a major
  impact.
  Also caching information for controls that cannot change
  e.g. TopLeveParent, Parent, etc
