0.2.4: May 18, 2010
    - Resource: Make validation more robust for the case when value is a
      unicode string.
    - Resource: The decorator `validate` accepts a callable `convert` used to
      convert the input string values to the data format required by the
      service.
    - Status: Convert the Location argument for `raise_201` and others to a
      string.
    - Status: Correctly handle generation of the Location header when the
      current request contains an extension such as .json or .xml.
    - License has been clarified and is BSD.


0.2.3: January 5, 2010
    - Remove Content-Type header when there is no content in the response.
    - xmlserializer: Move XML serialisation into a separate module.
    - Output an error message in the body of 404 responses.
    - Allow specifying of the encoding to be sent with the Content Type
      reponse header.
    - Make compatible with WebOb 0.9.7


0.2.2: July 29, 2009
    - Resource: Fix XML output for unicode strings.


0.2.1: July 15, 2009
    - Routing: Use extensions defined by resource in EXTENSION_MAP dictionary
      instead of the hardcoded list of '.xml' and '.json'.
    - Resource: Change EXTENSION_MAP to a list instead of a dictionary, so we
      can rely on the order of entries. Breaks backwards-compatibility for
      resources with a custom EXTENSION_MAP.
    - Resource: Remove hard-coded setting of Content-Type and Content-MD5
      response headers. Move into a new generic method set_response_headers
      which in turn calls the two methods set_response_content_type and
      set_response_content_md5. This allows for easier overwriting in
      subclasses.
    - Resource: Output valid XML when serializing lists. Each child is now
      <child order="N"> instead of just <N> (where N is the array index).
    - Help resource: Sort the resources by name, mark parameters with
      validation rules as mandatory.
    - Documentation: Add a lot of additional documentation. Document the
      current state of HTTP implementation.


0.2: June 29, 2009
