About this release:

This release improves Unicode support with Python < 2.4 and new features
were added to the tutorial and reference generation scripts.

properly for everyone. Please let me know if you have any trouble with it.

Python < 2.4. The graph.py example program should now work
properly with older versions of Python.

- The docgen_tutorial.py script can now write out the tutorial
example programs as individual files.

- Updated reference documentation table of contents to show which
widgets are flow and/or box widgets.

- Columns.set_focus(..) will now accept an integer or a widget as
its parameter.
