For anyone who hasn't seen the news item at zope.org, just thought I'd
let you know that SiteAccess v0.1.3 is up. It's looking pretty solid at
this point, and is in production use at several sites.

The new version is at http://zope.org/Members/4am/SiteAccess as usual,
and here
are the new CHANGES.txt entries since v0.1.1:

* Using DTML Docs/Methods as Access Rules should work better,
  and allow normal acquisition.  You won't have permissions for
  anything unless you give the rule a Proxy Role, though.

* __no_before_traverse__ at the start of a URL path now persists
  in generated URLs, making debugging easier.

* Fixed absolute_url() of objects acquired from above the point
  at which setURL was called (usually by a SiteRoot). (thanks again
  to Bruce Perens and technocrat.net)

* Added Base and Path properties to SiteRoot, with Path defaulting
  to '/', the most commonly used value. If these are blank, it
  will search for SiteRootBASE and SiteRootPATH.

* REQUEST.setURL now accepts either a string or sequence of
  strings for its path argument.
