SAMPy 1.0 alpha 3

[Luigi Paioro]

Dear all,

  I'm glad to announce that a new version of SAMPy is now available at 
the usual address:

http://cosmos.iasf-milano.inaf.it/luigi/projects/vo/samp/latest/

SAMPy 1.0 alpha 3 has been tested with JSAMP 0.2 [1] and it results 
fully interoperable (thanks Mark for your help).

Several bugs have been fixed and a number of new features have been 
added. In particular it has been added a new client utility class, named 
SAMPIntegratedClient, which is meant to simplify the client side, 
specially using the Python interactive console.

Any comment, bug report or suggestion is welcome.


With my best regards,

   Luigi
