behave as documented.
- Documentation updated, and installation instructions added.

*Release Date: 2012-02-12*

- `Query.table` exposed, resulting in a major implementation change in
`Query.add`. This function now exists for all queries, but raises
an error if called when it cannot be used.
- `Query.add` can now be used for queries of whole tables.
- Add `AutoDatabase` and `AutoTable` classes.
- Make `Field.readonly` and `Field.unique` mutable.
- Allow `Field` definitions to be copied to another `Table`.
- Add `Database.delete` method.

- Fix issue in python2 where uuids cannot be converted to strings.
- Documentation updated.

*Release Date: 2012-12-14*

- Many internal changes in the way data is stored and indexed, centred
around the introduction of two new classes, `Store` and `Index`.
- All fields are now automatically indexed. As a results the *index*
parameter to `Field` objects falls away, and a new *key* argument
is introduced.
- `Table` objects have a new attribute, ~`Table._store`, which refers
to the `Store` used for the table. This may be changed when the
- The `serialise` framework has been completely overhauled and the API
simplified. Extensive changes in this module.
- Add a new `~serialise.CSV` serialiser.
- Add `validate.map` validator to convert values.
- Improved the string representation of `Query` and `Field` instances.
- Deprecated functionality removed

------------

*Release Date: 2012-09-03*

- Add built-in support for many-to-many joins.
- Hooks added to `Table` to allow more control over validation.
- Add `Query.field`, allowing queries to traverse tables.
- Add `Query.add`, allowing records to be created based on query criteria.
- Add a return value when calling `Query` objects.
- `Field` level validation added, including some validator factories.
- Add `validate.todatetime`, `validate.todate` and `validate.totime`.
- Deprecated the `!tools` module.

------------

*Release Date: 2012-07-12*

- New serialiser framework added, based on `serialise.Serialiser`.
A sample serialiser, `serialise.Sqlite` is included.
- `!serialise.Sqlite3` has been deprecated.
- Documentation overhauled introducing major changes to the documentation
layout.
- Add boolean comparisons, `Query.delete` and `Query.one` methods to `Query`.
- `Table` now supports inheritance by copying its fields.
- Several changes to implementations, generally to improve performance and
consistency.
