Hey Folks,
 yum 2.3.0 is available from:
 http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.3/ - the noarch package in there
was built on fedora core rawhide using python 2.4 so  - don't use it if
you're not using python 2.4

new things:
 - yum shell
 - Terje's new rpm callback output
 - movement in the yum config and repos class to allow for easier 
   modification of repo-specific but system-global configuration 
   settings
 - new urlgrabber that fixes up python 2.4 functionality.

coming soon:
 - sqlite db support from Gijs (pronounced like Guys :)
 - new changes in the exactarch and depsolve  callbacks - expect a lot
of breakage for a while.
 - any new methods paul needs for pup development.
 - lots of code movement out of cli.py to yum/__init__.py and other
places
 - urlgrabber being removed from the source tree and released in its own
package (thanks michael and ryan)
 - all the weird code any of us have come up with

let me know what's broken and send sane patches. :)

thanks everyone,
-sv
