Pyramid 1.8a1 released

[Michael Merickel]

Pyramid 1.8a1 has been released.

Here are the major changes:

- Added `@exception_view_config` and `config.add_exception_view` for registering exception views. These features are used by notfound and forbidden views already and should be used by your code as well!

- `pserve --reload` is using the hupper package for monitoring code. This has a many advantages over the previous in-process implementation. For example, it won't crash when your code has import errors. Just fix them and save again! Also inotify support if you install the watchdog package.

- All deprecated `pserve` daemon options have been removed.

- All scaffolds have been converted to cookiecutters - `pcreate` is now deprecated. The tutorials have been updated to use the cookiecutters.
