kss.base first alpha released

We are happy to inform you that we have released the first alpha of kss.base. This new library will be the base library for all pythonic web frameworks that choose to support KSS.

The predecessor of kss.base is the kss.core package, which depends heavily on the Zope 3 component architecture. Our new library only depends on Python and setuptools. This will widen our support for integration with other frameworks. We have already seen some fruits of the new approach in experimental support for both Pylons and Django.

kss.base is alpha, and at the moment not compatible with Zope or Plone. For those platforms, kss.core is still needed, as previously. Later, we will improve kss.base to also support Zope and Plone: we will introduce the kss.zope package. kss.base and kss.zope together will replace kss.core, which will be phased out in the end (with keeping complete backwards compatibility).

We suggest to test kss.base to anyone interested in KSS integration on Pylons, Django, or any other pythonic platform.
