Hello all you mangy listdwellers.  A new Syck is out.  Thanks to 
everyone who ran the unit tests and sent feedback on the last release.  
Things are moving!

** FOR THE ADVENTUROUS -- FOR TESTING ODYSSEYS ONLY **

Syck is the codename for the YAML processor which comes with Ruby.  
Coded in C with preliminary extensions in Python and PHP.

Of interest, Tim Parkin (the current maintainer of PyYaml) has been 
investing time into a better Python extension for Syck, coded with the 
help of Pyrex.  He's seeing great results!  I'm working to get this 
extension out in Syck 0.52!

Should development continue at this speed, expect the complete new YAML 
module to be checked into Ruby CVS in the first week of March.  Faster 
YAML, easier to use and to customize, devoid of buffering problems that 
plagues the current YAML module.
