Spyce - Python Server Pages

This version includes compatibility with mod_python v3.0.1 for Apache 2.0.x, improves the Windows installer, fixes a threading race condition in the compiler, and makes the Website update scripts faster.

Spyce language now supports active tags, and includes standard active tag libraries. Users can define their own active tags. Major performance profiling work was done, and lots of feature request fulfilled with new functionality in the stdout, session, response, and spylambda modules.

A new VIM syntax highlighting file has been added.
The include module has been improved. It can now
return values, and dictionary include contexts are
now processed as variables. Various tutorials and
articles were written.

The major internal restructuring of the code continues, resulting in some performance improvements visible to the user. The spyce API has also been extended, and the spyceModule simplified in preparation for sandboxing (spyceModulePlus is available). Importantly, syntax errors are now properly reported (fixing a bug introduced in 1.2.4), and file-based Spyce caching is now supported.

This release incorporates a major internal reworking that allows concurrent and recursive request processing per server, defines a new Spyce module API, a new server-level debugging option and server-level module caching. The sys.stdout has been made thread-safe, and the proxy webserver can operate in serial, forking, or threading modes. Single-page documentation has been added, and a number of small fixes and performance tweaks implemented.
