ChangeLog for this release:

+ (Windows) Make single-file packages not depend on MSVCRT71.DLL anymore,
even under Python 2.4. You can eventually ship your programs really as
single-file executables, even when using the newest Python version!
+ Fix problem with incorrect python path detection. Now using helpers from
distutils.
+ Fix problem with rare encodings introduced in newer Python versions: now
all
the encodings are automatically found and included, so this problem
should
be gone forever.
+ Fix building of COM servers (was broken in 1.0 because of the new build
system).
+ Mimic Python 2.4 behaviour with broken imports: sys.modules is cleaned up
afterwise. This allows to package SQLObject applications under Windows
with Python 2.4 and above.
+ Add import hook for the following packages:
+ GTK
+ PyOpenGL (tested 2.0.1.09)
+ dsnpython (tested 1.3.4)
+ KInterasDB (courtesy of Eugene Prigorodov)
+ Fix packaging of code using "time.strptime" under Python 2.3+.
+ (Linux) Ignore linux-gate.so while calculating dependencies (fix provided
by Vikram Aggarwal).
+ (Windows) With Python 2.4, setup UPX properly so to be able to compress
binaries generated with Visual Studio .NET 2003 (such as most of the
extensions). UPX 1.92+ is needed for this.
