  • X-platform (Win/UNIX/py2/py3/pypy) session storage
  • Make it easier to debug i18n problems
  • Fix tox to cope with the ability to test distributions that have namespace package dependencies (e..g. "transaction").
  • Better "pserve" unit tests
  • allow better extension support for debugtoolbar
  • web-enabled interactive debugger ala pdb as toolbar extension (pie in sky)

  • Readthedocs Support for pylons project documentation
  • add warning messages to old versions of documentation and link to latest release
  • factor mako and chameleon templating bindings into external packages.
  • pycco style tutorial
