+#  . roundup-admin create now prompts for property info if none is supplied
+#    on the command-line.
+#  . hyperdb Class getprops() method may now return only the mutable
+#    properties.
+#  . Login now uses cookies, which makes it a whole lot more flexible. We can
+#    now support anonymous user access (read-only, unless there's an
+#    "anonymous" user, in which case write access is permitted). Login
+#    handling has been moved into cgi_client.Client.main()
+#  . The "extended" schema is now the default in roundup init.
+#  . The schemas have had their page headings modified to cope with the new
+#    login handling. Existing installations should copy the interfaces.py
+#    file from the roundup lib directory to their instance home.
+#  . Incorrectly had a Bizar Software copyright on the cgitb.py module from
+#    Ping - has been removed.
+#  . Fixed a whole bunch of places in the CGI interface where we should have
+#    been returning Not Found instead of throwing an exception.
+#  . Fixed a deviation from the spec: trying to modify the 'id' property of
+#    an item now throws an exception.

 # Revision 1.12  2001/09/29 13:27:00  richard
 # CGI interfaces now spit up a top-level index of all the instances they can
 # serve.
