  Since build 210:
  ----------------
  
! * Available for AMD64 versions of Windows.  Note that this requires the 
!   x86-64 version of Python 2.5.2, which was not yet available as build 211 
!   was released, but was expected shortly.  Lots of help from Roger, Steve Yin,
!   and Sidnei da Silva.
  
! * com related changes:
  
! - makepy accepts a program id to process its typelib and generates long 
!   integer literals for constants > sys.maxint.  The way typelibs are generated
!   also changes slightly, fixing a bug with certain hex version numbers in 
!   the registry.  Fix a bug [1548903] that could cause incomplete generated 
!   files when a typelib was missing
! 
! - win32com.client: Fix a bug [1587023] that prevented Get and Set properties
!   working for ITypeComp implementing objects.  Add automatic "cast" to an
!   interface when using iterators [1707700]
! 
! - win32com.axcontrol: Module for using ActiveX controls independently of
!   pythonwin/win32ui/MFC.  Includes a demo of embedding Internet Explorer 
!   inside a win32gui window.
! 
! - pythoncom:
!   * event handlers implemented in Python that were called with named params 
!     may have presented the arguments to Python in the incorrect order - this 
!     has been fixed.  
!   * Always return -1 (VARIANT_TRUE), rather than 1, when a VARIANT_BOOL is 
!     requested.
!   * When passing a Python integer, always use VT_I4 when possible, VT_UI4 
!     otherwise (previous versions did VT_I4 only, 209 did VT_UI4 only)
!   * New functions CoMarshalInterface, CoUnmarshalInterface, 
!     CoReleaseMarshalData, ReadClassStm, WriteClassStm, CreateStreamOnHGlobal,
!     CreateILockBytesOnHGlobal.
!   * Fix possible buffer overflow using IStream.
! 
! - win32com.shell:
!   * PyIExtractImage by Steven James.
!   * PyIEmptyVolumecache, IEmptyVolumeCache2, IEmptyVolumeCacheCallBack by 
!     Sidnei da Silva from Enfold.
!   * IsUserAnAdmin
!   * More coverage of the shell interfaces and demos.
! 
! * win32transaction: New module containing Kernel Transaction Manager (KTM) 
!   functions as used with transacted NTFS and transacted registry functions
  
  * win32api:
!   - Transacted registry functions and demos from Roger
!   - New functions RegCopyTree, RegDeleteTree, RegSaveKeyEx, 
!     RegRestoreKey, RegCreateKeyEx, RegQueryInfoKeyW, 
!     RegEnumKeyExWGet/SetSystemFileCacheSize, GlobalMemoryStatus,
!     GlobalMemoryStatusEx
!   - Fix memory leak in GetShortPathName
!   - Fix VkKeyScan arg handling
  
  * win32file:

!     Vista API functions, System file checker (Sfc) functions, 
!     DuplicateEncryptionInfoFile, GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName,

!   - FindFiles and FindFilesIterator now accept an optional transaction handle
!     to perform a transacted search
!   - FindStreams function that calls FindFirstStream and FindNextStream to 
!     enumerate a file's data streams.

  * win32service:
!   - Service and service control manager handles are now returned as 
!     self-closing PySC_HANDLEs instead of plain int handles
!   - Service dependencies are returned as list of Unicode strings instead
!     of a single string, which lost multiple dependencies (could break
!     code, but old handling was insane)

!     objects in an ECB.
!   - Filter and Extension errors that happen during initialization are
!     written to the Windows Event Log to help diagnose them.  A couple
!     of potential deadlocks during init errors also fixed.
