[Hepserver-devel] ANN: Hep 0.5, Yarn 0.1

[Abe F. <ab...@fe...>]

I've got a new release of Hep available at 
http://www.fettig.net/projects/hep/.  This is pretty much all-new code, 
and the architecture is a LOT better.  It may not be a lot to look at 
yet, but it's as functional as the 0.3 series was.  So give it a try.

I'm also releasing a new library called Yarn 
(http://www.fettig.net/projects/yarn/), a seperate package containing 
all the messaging-system-abstraction bits that used to be in Hep.  Yarn 
lets you work with RSS and Atom feeds, weblogs, Maildir directories, 
etc., using a common Folder/Message API.  It supports authentication, 
sharing connections between users, and tracking metadata between 
sessions.  It's fully unicode-aware.  It uses plugins to make it easy to 
add support for new protocols and file formats.

Yarn is a little short on docs at the moment, but if you're feeling 
curious there's some code in the examples/ directory that will get you 
started.  I'll have some tutorials  up on my website soon, though.
