Comet

- Fix a bug which could result in malformed event IVORNs exhausting the
available resources and ultimately rendering Comet unable to process
more events (`GitHub 34`_).

- Fix a bug which could result in the same VOEvent message being processed
multiple times (`GitHub 30`_).

- Add compatibility with DBM-style databases which do not provide an
``.items()`` method.

- Improved documentation.

- Interval between broadcast test events is user configurable, and they
may be disabled. See the ``--broadcast-test-interval`` option.

- Test events now include details of the version of Comet used to generate
them.

- Event handler plugin system reworked. Plugins may now take command line
options. See the :doc:`event handler documentation </handlers>` for
details. Note that the syntax for invoking the ``print-event`` handler
has changed (now ``--print-event`` rather than
``--action=print-event``).

- Plugin which writes events received to file (``--save-event``).

Version 1.0.x
-------------

- ``comet-sendvo`` will choose its Python interpreter based on the
environment.

- Update ``MANIFEST.in`` so that ``requirements.txt`` is included in the
distribution. This changes nothing on an installed system.

- Add a ``requirements.txt`` file and specify the installation requirements
in ``setup.py``. This makes installation easier, but changes nothing on
an installed system.
