BFR Developers,

I'm pleased to announce that the BFR Developers mailing list is now up and running.  Using a mailing list fits into the rest of the workflow that I use for BACpypes, my other SourceForge project.  There are more changes too…

- I've moved the code from CVS to Subversion.  While it's not as powerful as git, it's a lot better.  There is a tag/0.2 directory that contains the old stuff for reference.  I haven't shut off CVS yet, but I've already mucked around with the code, so it should be considered obsolete.

- I'm starting the move of the documentation from hand edited HTML pages to Sphinx, just like BACpypes.

- The project HTML page http://bfr.sourceforge.net is synced with the documentation.

- The XML code has been split from the BACnet library.  It should be much easier to build small BFR applications by including just the modules you need.  The 'make' file in the trunk is wrong, so I've made a bunch of changes but they are untested.

- There is a Trac site https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/bfr which makes it much easier to browse through the source code tree and submit tickets (bugs and enhancement requests).

I hope you like the changes!

Joel
