                   ------------------------------------

Release 0.0.2 (March 28, 2011)

  This release contains a number of API changes to make the API
  cleaner and easier to move forward.

  * Renamed <<<BuildContext>>> to <<<RatingBuildContext>>> to allow
    for a future <<<BasketBuildContext>>>.

  * Added support for excluded items to recommendation API.

  * Added <<<AbstractRatingRecommender>>> helper class to make
    implementing rating recommenders easier.

  * Removed the <<<RecommenderService>>> class and several related
    classes to clean up the API.  Client code should directly request
    <<<RatingRecommender>>> or <<<RatingPredictor>>> instances, and
    modules should scope them and their dependencies appropriately to
    avoid duplicating recommender models.

* API Compatibility Notes

  * Code dependent on <<<BuildContext>>> or <<<PackedBuildContext>>>
    must be updated to use <<<RatingBuildContext>>> and
    <<<PackedRatingBuildContext>>> instead.

  * Code implementing <<<RatingRecommender>>> must be updated to
    implement the new API.  We recommend using
    <<<AbstractRatingRecommender>>> to help with this.

  * All code must be updated to directly receive injected
    <<<RatingRecommender>>> and/or <<<RatingPredictor>>> instances
    (or providers thereof).
