Subject: [Announce] Gnosis Utils 1.0.7 
 
This release contains a few updates, fixes and enhancements:
 
   * New module gnosis.anon. This module generates "anonyms" for email 
     addresses, and forwards any mail sent to those anonyms on to the 
     corresponding real addresses. In other words, this is a protocol 
     that allows anonymous recipients to get email. Currently alpha-status. 
     See http://gnosis.cx/anon for further information. 
 
   * Updated gnosis.xml.pickle to handle the new BooleanType in 
     Python 2.3. Python <= 2.2 can read these pickles as well. 
     Revised family mapping for functions/classes. 
 
   * Bugfix in gnosis.xml.pickle.util for classes that are 
     loaded from sys.modules. 
 
   * Rewrote gnosis.util.introspect.instance_noinit to use more 
     robust "new" module and/or __new__() as applicable. Added 
     obj_from_classtype to public API. 
 
   * Updated xml.objectify to handle namespaces. Additional check 
     for passed DOM node. Added new tests. 
 
   * New util xmlcat.py for concatenating XML files.
