I am pleased to announce the release of Augeas 0.3.1; it has been much
longer than I'd like since the last release, and this release contains
many more changes than is betrayed by the small change in version
numbers.
There has been a tremendous amount of activity both in enhancing
existing lenses and in writing new ones. I have tried to keep track of
all the contributors in the NEWS - if you sent a patch and didn't get
credit for it, please remind me (gently ;) With that much activity in
lens-writing, I feel that we need to figure out a way to indicate which
lenses we consider 'finished' and which ones we consider 'experimental',
so that users know where changes in the tree are likely.
The release can be downloaded from:

Fedora RPM's are making their way through the build system
Detailed NEWS:
- Major performance improvement when processing huge files, reducing
some O(n^2) behavior to O(n) behavior. It's now entirely feasible
to manipulate for example /etc/hosts files with 65k lines
- Handle character escapes '\x' in regular expressions in compliance
with Posix ERE
- aug_mv: fix bug when moving at the root level
- Fix endless loop when using a mixed-case module name like
MyMod.lns
- Typecheck del lens: for 'del RE STR', STR must match RE
- Properly typecheck the '?' operator, especially the atype; also
allow '?' to be applied to lenses that contain only 'store', and
do not produce tree nodes.
