hi all,

rpyc 3.2 is scheduled for release in around two months. it includes several
bug fixes (async result weakref issues, proxy ref-counting) and some new
features (thread-pool server, ipv6, rpyc-over-ssh), but the most important
changes are the *new documentation* and *python 3 support*.

the new documentation is rewritten in sphinx, and includes two parts: the
new site and API reference as in-code docstrings (yeah, RPyC finally has
docstrings). the new site will be uploaded to *http://rpyc.sourceforge.net*,
and the wiki sites will go down.
i already deleted rpyc.wikispaces.com -- it's been 5 years since rpyc 2.6
was released, and there's no point in keeping that old site up. it's
irrelevant, but takes the 2nd place in google search. the docs of rpyc 2.6
will be made available for download from sourceforge.
as for rpyc.wikidot.com -- they began to show way to much ads. i didn't know
that, because they don't show ads to logged-in members. and besides, i
wanted the generate the API documentation from docstrings, and that wasn't
possible.

the nice thing about sphinx is, it's part of the source repo. this means
every time i commit some changes, it would be very easy for me to update the
docs as well, and just run  $ make upload so the site will always be up to
date.

i'm currently in the midst of my semester's finals, so release dates are
tentative by nature, but you can see in the commit log that i haven't been
idle :)
