Subject: P4P release 1.0 (PVAccess for Python)
 
The first release of the P4P (PVAccess for Python) module is available

P4P is a binding for the PVAccess protocol client, and part of the server APIs.
The client get, put, rpc, and monitor operations are supported.  As a server,
only the rpc operation can be implemented.
