ChangeLog for logilab.common
============================

--
    * modutils: fix typo causing name error in python3 / bad message in python2
      (#136037)


2013-04-16  --  0.59.1
    * graph: added pruning of the recursive search tree for detecting cycles in
      graphs (closes #2469)

    * testlib: check for generators in with_tempdir (closes #117533)

    * registry:

        * select_or_none should not silent ObjectNotFound exception
	  (closes #119819)

        * remove 2 accidentally introduced tabs breaking python 3 compat
          (closes #117580)

      patch by Ian Delaney)



2013-01-21  --  0.59.0
    * registry:

        - introduce RegistrableObject base class, mandatory to make
        classes automatically registrable, and cleanup code
        accordingly
        - introduce objid and objname methods on Registry instead of
        classid function and inlined code plus other refactorings to allow
        arbitrary objects to be registered, provided they inherit from new
        RegistrableInstance class (closes #98742)
        - deprecate usage of leading underscore to skip object registration, using
        __abstract__ explicitly is better and notion of registered object 'name'
        is now somewhat fuzzy

      probably not used anywhere (actually closes #104047).



2012-11-14  --  0.58.3
    * date: fix ustrftime() impl. for python3 (closes #82161, patch by Arfrever

    * other python3 code and test fixes (closes #104047)
