Release Notes: The new itools.soup package provides a minimal wrapper around the libsoup library. The itools Web server has been rewritten to use this library; the result is better support for the HTTP protocol. Performance of the itools.handlers database system has been much improved.

Release Notes: This release adds a new feature in itools.git, facilities to start a sub-process that will specialize in calling Git commands. This is useful for applications that may take more than a little memory, so instead of forking a big process, a small one is forked. Python 2.6 is now required.

Release Notes: The itools.vfs has been rewritten to use Gio. The Web server main loop is now based on the GLib. Extraction of text from office files (OpenOffice, MS Office, etc.) is much faster, and so is indexing with Xapian. The database layer (itools.handlers) has been improved with new features: read-only mode and versioning (with Git).

The right tool
I use this library for the developpement of a project using technologies which can at first sight seem not be to be directly linked with itools (XUL, Google Maps...), but it has already proven to be very usefull.
As long as your project involves some XML, web stuff, or content management, give it a try. It's worth it.
