• Remove onDrained since it was removed upstream
• Replace usage of strings as enum type with custom _DynamicEnum class.
• Also change Struct.which() method to be a property Struct.which and return an enum type (_DynamicEnumField, which behaves much like _DynamicEnum).
• TwoPartyServer.run_forever() now will handle more than 1 simulataneous connection.
• Change exception wrapper to detect and raise AttributeError for field lookup exceptions (Fixes problem in Python3.x __dir__)
• Allow setting of fields with python dicts.

0.4.1 (2013-12-18)

• Remove python 3.2 from travis tests. Python 3.2 still should work fine, but it's more trouble than it's worth to write unicode tests that work in both it and Python2.
• Fix problems with null characters in Text/Data fields. Fixes #19

0.4.0 (2013-12-12)

• Initial working version of RPC

• Add test script for testing with https://github.com/kaos/capnp_test
• Add handling of DynamicObject
• Fix lists of lists or dicts for from_dict

v0.3.14 (2013-09-04)

• Fix problem with to_dict

v0.3.13 (2013-09-04)

• Add _DynamicStructBuilder.to_bytes() and .from_bytes()
• Change == on StructSchema to return cbool
• Add Builder and Reader ABCs for each struct type

v0.3.12 (2013-09-03)

v0.3.11 (2013-09-01)

• Forgot to change project name in setup.py

v0.3.10 (2013-09-01)

• Change all references to old project name (change from capnpc-python-cpp to pycapnp)
• Change DynamicValue.Reader lists to be returned as _DynamicListReader
• Unify setters for DynamicList and DynamicStruct
• Add shortcuts for reading from / writing to files. In Python, it doesn't make much sense to force people to muck around with MessageReaders and MessageBuilders since everything is landing on the heap anyway. Instead, let's make it easy: MyType.read[Packed]From(file) reads a file and returns a MyType reader. MyType.newMessage() returns a MyType builder representing the root of a new message. You can call this builder's write[Packed]To(file) method to write it to a file.
• Store Builders by value rather than allocate them separately on the heap (matches treatment of Readers). v0.3 fixes the bug that made this not work.
• Wrap MessageBuilder::setRoot().
• Add tests based on TestAllTypes from the C++ test.capnp. Fix problems uncovered in capnp.pyx.
• Implement str and repr for struct and list builders. str uses prettyPrint while repr shows the type name and the low-whitespace stringification. Also implement repr for StructSchema, just because why not?
