FourThought LLC (http://FourThought.com) announces the release of
4DOM 0.8.0
-----------------------
An implementation of the W3C's
Document Object Model in Python
4DOM is a close implementation of the DOM recommendation, including
DOM Core level 1, DOM HTML level 1, Node Iterator and Node Filter from
DOM Level 2, and a few utility and helper components. 4DOM can work
in a CORBA* enviroment, or in a purely local set-up.
4DOM is designed to allow developers rapidly design applications
that read, write or manipulate HTML and XML.
News
----
There have been many changes to 4DOM since the last major release, 0.7.0.
There were two more releases, which were only bundled with 4XSL. For a

But some highlights:
* Support for non-CORBA usage

* Explicit garbage-collection method
* Better-tested Fnorb and Ilu support
* Many bug-fixes
