Restauthclient

General:
* This project is now hosted on github:
https://github.com/RestAuth/RestAuthClient
* RestAuthClient now requires Python 2.7 or later.

Breaking changes:
* The classes representing users and groups have been moved for consistency:
* restauth_user.User is now user.RestAuthUser
* group.Group is now group.RestAuthGroup
* Factory methods get(), get_all(), create() and create_test() are now
classmethods, so e.g. group.get_all now becomes RestAuthGroup.get_all.
* User and group no longer have a common base class, this allows us to
import Users/Groups in the common module.

New features:
* Methods that return a list of entities now support the optional "flat"
parameter to only return a list of names instead of objects.
* RestAuthConnection now accepts the source_address and timeout parameters,
in Python 3, it also accepts an SSLContext.
* Path elements in HTTP requests are now quotet separately and without any
safe characters. This means that entity names with '/' are encoded
correctly.
* Various speed improvements.

Bugfixes:
* Do not decode HTTP responses, as this brakes binary protocols (e.g. BSON)
* Do not use mutable default arguments, this is dangerous. See:
http://pythonconquerstheuniverse.wordpress.com/2012/02/15/mutable-default-arguments/

Testing:
* The test cases now use the content handler specified by the MIME
environment variable.
* Enable branch coverage and reach a test-coverage of 100%.
* Group tests now have users created via setUpModule, speeds up group tests
300%.
* setup.py test now exits with status 1 if testcases fail.

* Add --part option to setup.py to only test part of the test-suite.
* Add a small benchmark script to test performance of RestAuth services.
* Fix intersphinx documentation.
* Cleanup of import statements.
* Use cleaner isinstance() instead of ...__class__ == <class>
* Switch to distribute
* add install_requires to setup.py

This release adds support for version 0.6 of the RestAuth protocol. This
brings the following enhancements:
* Support for HTTP status code 403 FORBIDDEN
* Support for setting multiple user properties in a single HTTP call.

General:
* The whole code is now pep8 clean

General:
* remove false statement that this library depends on python-mimeparse
* Adapt to changes in newest RestAuthCommon version
* RestAuthConnection.set_content_handler also accepts unicode

build-related:
* 'clean' target now removes more generated files
* handle version in a more centralized way
* The 'debian' branch now includes a ready-to-use debian package.
* The new command 'prepare_debian_changelog' updates debian/changelog to the
newest version

test functions:
* restauth_user.create_test, User.create_property_test and group.create_test
now behave exactly like their non-test counterparts. The only difference
is that user and group creation test methods do not return an instance of
their respective classes.
* create_property_test now also throws PreconditionFailed
* Added documentation to the test methods

Python3:
* Enable SSL certificate verification in python 3.2 or later

Tests:
* Add restauth-common git-checkout to path, if its found in the same
directory as this directory.
* Improve test coverage
* Switch to coverage 3.5

* Initial version based on version 0.5 of the RestAuth protocol.
