• Removal of all previously deprecated code

• Renaming the values, errors, state and options argument to Form to value, error, flow and option respectively

• Removal of ability to set values, or options at design time

• Introduction of a checked argument to Form to determine whether checkboxes are checked or not at form execution time, not based on values or at design time

• The id attribute is no longer automatically generated based on the name and the type attribute comes before name for <input> fields

• Added doctests for all fields

• Added full documentation

• The combo() and checkbox_group() fields can now take options from those passed to the Form object constructor.

• Added Sphinx code

• Made checkbox_group() and radio_group() XHTML compatible by using the attribute checked="checked".
