Multiple improvements to tab completion....
Multiple improvements to tab completion. I refactored the API quite a bit, to retain readline compatibility but make it more independent of readline. There's still more to do in cleaning up our init_readline() method, but now the completer objects have separate rlcomplete() and complete() methods. The former uses the quirky readline API with a state flag, while the latter is stateless, takes only text information, and is more suitable for GUIs and other frontends to call programatically. Made other minor fixes to ensure the test suite passes in full. While all this code is a bit messy, we're getting in the direction of the APIs we need in the long run.

=================
Releasing IPython
=================
This section contains notes about the process that is used to release IPython.
Our release process is currently not very formal and could be improved.
Most of the release process is automated by the :file:`release` script in the
:file:`tools` directory. This is just a handy reminder for the release manager.
#. First, run :file:`build_release`, which does all the file checking and
building that the real release script will do. This will let you do test
installations, check that the build procedure runs OK, etc. You may want to
disable a few things like multi-version RPM building while testing, because
otherwise the build takes really long.
#. Run the release script, which makes the tar.gz, eggs and Win32 .exe
installer. It posts them to the site and registers the release with PyPI.
#. Update the website with announcements and links to the updated changes.txt
in html form. Remember to put a short note both on the news page of the
site and on Launcphad.
#. Drafting a short release announcement with i) highlights and ii) a link to
the html version of the :ref:`Whats new <whatsnew_index>` section of the
documentation.
#. Make sure that the released version of the docs is live on the site.
#. Celebrate!
