+1.0b1 (2004-04-??) r????:
+
+  * Remove an underscore from the Session attributes __remote_address,
+    __creation_time, and __access_time.  Note that if you have pickled
+    Session objects you will need to upgrade them somehow.
+
+  * Use a simpler version of ptl_compile.parse() if using Python >= 2.3.
+    Unfortunately, the hacks are still needed for older versions.
+
+  * Change the behavior of session cookies if SESSION_COOKIE_PATH is
+    unset.  The old behavior was to not set the 'path' attribute of the
+    session cookie.  The new behavior is to use SCRIPT_NAME.  Also, set
+    the 'path' attribute when revoking the session cookie.  Some
+    browsers treat it as a separate cookie if it has a different path.
+
+  * Don't try to compress stream responses.
+
+  * Refactor PublishError exception handling.  Requests will now be
+    logged even if they raise an exception.  This also allows some
+    simplification to the Medusa and Twisted server code.
+
+  * Make HTTPRequest.get_server() return HTTP_HOST if it is available
+    rather than using SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT.
+
+  * If "Host" header is present, use it to set SERVER_NAME and
+    SERVER_PORT.
+
+  * Make HTTPRequest.get_url() escape unsafe characters in the path part
+    of the URL.
+
+  * Use a simple counter instead of using the 'random' module when
+    trying to generate unique names for uploaded files.  
+
+  * Allow arbitrary mapping objects to be used as the right hand operand
+    when formating htmltext objects (i.e. as an argument to the
+    htmltext.__mod__ method).  The _c_htmltext implemention used to only
+    allow 'dict' instances.  Change _c_htmltext to allow any mapping.
+    Also, instead of accessing every item in the mapping, use
+    PyObject_GetItem() (aka __getitem__) to retrieve the values as they
+    are required.  That matches the behavior of PyString_Format().
+
+  * Don't set DEBUG_LOG in demo.conf.  Extra logs files are confusing
+    when people are starting out.
+
+  * Significant form2 package changes.  Remove FormComponent and related
+    machinery.  Allow widgets to control how they are rendered within
+    forms (by overriding the form_render() method.  Reorganize rendering
+    code in the form module so that it is easier to subclass form and
+    provide a different look.  Change the parsing behavior of widgets.
+    They no longer parse themselves when __init__ is called.  Instead,
+    each widget has a parse() method that calls _parse(), if it hasn't
+    been called already, and returns the widgets value.  Allow
+    Widget._parse() to raise WidgetValueError in order to signal a
+    parsing error.  Add a CompositeWidget class.  Remove
+    Widget.get_value() since parse() seems to be sufficient.
+
+  * Add HTTPS header when running under twisted_http.py.
+
+  * Add cimport as a standard Quixote extension.
+
+  * Disable FIX_TRAILING_SLASH in demo.conf.  It can be confusing when
+    trying to get the demo running.
+
+  * Allow _q_exports to contain mappings of external names to internal
+    names.
+
+  * Twisted does not unquote the path so twisted_http.py has to do it.

   * Improve init for ListWidget. The value of added_elements_widget
