pynag-0.6.0 released

[Páll Sigurðsson]

Hey everyone,

I am happy to announce that we have released version 0.6.0 of pynag. There have been a lot of rewrites and performance improvements in the parsing library. as well as incremental bug fixes and new features. We have a reason to celebrate because we have closed over 100 issues since moving to github.

Currently i am working on more thread safety stuff and in next release i plan on replacing the Model.ObjectDefinition.filter() to use the more powerful grep() internally. This will hopefully bring more performance out of the filter.

As ever, if anyone has feedback or features they would like to see built into the pynag library, don't hesitate to drop a mail on this list.
