entropy/docs/APICHANGES

From SVN 3112 there have been several API changes:

  - entropy module is now a python package

  - EquoInterface (entropy.client.interfaces.Client) and ServerInterface (entropy.server.interfaces.Server) are
    now singleton, this means that if you have to subclass them, you must overload the init_singleton method
    instead of __init__

  - urlFetcher features several private class property moves (you need to rework your updateProgress)

  - FtpInterface features several private class property moves and switched to underscore API signatures

  - SocketUrlFetcher has been removed

  - rssFeed features several private class property moves

  - entropyTools, dumpTools, outputTools, entropyConstants, exceptionTools have been
    moved under the entropy package, except for exceptionTools, for others backward
    module loading compatibility has been kept.
