elmer1.1.5 has been released and includes the following changes:

- Fixed C-mode call which returns double to use correct Python/C API (thanks to David Chase)
- Added code to allow for multiple "elmerized" Python modules to be used in the same C application in C mode without the use of a top-level Python module to import them into a single Python module. (thanks again to David Chase)
