Many small fixes. Basically this package supports about 15 different
software packages. As these
software packages have gone to common use, many people have used it
differently causing the code to go down
different paths. These code paths caused additional access checks to
happen. We have chosen to release the package
quickly to solve this problem rather than hold it back and have software
not work while we do bigger
releases. Also this software is in it's infancy. Finally if you look
at the rate of releases, it has slowed
down greatly.
