I've switched to the official bzr mirror for this release.
Unfortunately I can't sync directly up with the most recent alpha
snapshot, so you'll have to use bzr instead.
Progress has been good. Major features:
* deadlocks while trying to enter a Monitor are automatically
detected and broken with a DeadlockError exception
* conditions have been added to Monitors. They have less complexity
than the traditional approach, as well as having O(1) overhead (no
"thundering herd" problem.) An example is at [1].
* conditions are cancellable, meaning an error in a sibling thread
will make them stop waiting, rather than hanging your program forever
