uuid-0.3.2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    

bugfixes:
    
      x. worked over uuid_md5() and uuid_sha1() again wich had some troubles with signed and unsigned longs
    
    
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
uuid-0.3.1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    

bugfixes:
    
      x. fixed critical bug in  uuid_md5() and uuid_sha1() where a call could lead to infinite
          looping because of inproper internal type checking. Thanks to Detlev Kruft

uuid-0.3.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    
    
news:
        
    1. added new function format_mac_address() to format a MAC address as string
    2. __version__ is now included in the source
        
bugfixes:

    1. clock_sequence bits in time based UUIDs were not set correctly. This is fixed now
    2. reworked time stamp generation. Should work now as promised

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
uuid-0.2.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

news:
        
    1. removed output decoration from around commandline generated UUIDs
        Now UUID only gets printed to stdout
    2. new method get_mac_address() (thrown in for completeness)
    3. new flag VARIANT_UNKNOWN returned by get_variant()
        

bugfixes:

    1. unicast/multicast bit was not set correctly in time based UUIDs
    2. fixed problems with calculating system epoch relative to uuid epoch -- hopefully


    
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
uuid-0.1.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        
issues:
    
    1. some minor aspects of time based uuids may not have been properly implemented
        (see comments in source for detais)
