I am pleased to announce that version 0.7.1 of Elixir is now
available. As always, feedback is very welcome, preferably on this
mailing list.

This release packs a few interesting new features and some bug fixes
(special thanks to their respective contributors). It is a safe
upgrade from the 0.7.0 release.

Change log
==========

New features:
- Entities can now be declared "abstract" so that they do not create a table,
etc... This allows, among others, an entity to inherit from multiple abstract
classes (patch from Stéphane Klein, closes #89).
- Added a new collection which can resolve entities relative to the current
entity, for example "..other_module.Class" (based on patches from Johannes
Janssen, closes #93).
- Added a new entity option "resolve_root", which allows one to specify the
root module where your entities are defined. The string will be prepended
to all "absolute" entity paths. It can also be used on a per-entity basis.
This feature is based on a patch from Johannes Janssen, see #93.

Changes:
- using_options_defaults and using_table_options statements can be used several
times within the same class (closes #70).

Bug fixes:
- Fixed custom base classes and versioned extension when used with zope
interfaces (closes #98, patch from Valentin Lab)
- Fixed having relationships in custom base classes (based on patch
by Stéphane Klein)
