Python Remote Call Module

This release focuses on usability and security. Major changes in the user interface make it much easier to use PyRCall, whether you want to set up a server or just use the client side. To enhance security and allow usage over an insecure network, SSL support has been added. Internal use of one-time keys now protects those newly created remote references that were unprotected in earlier releases. Quite a few bugs were fixed.

All previous stub objects have been replaced by a single stub object
which uses on-demand retrieval of attributes of remote objects. This
way, the behavior of the stub object is much more flexible and smoother.
A first draft of an authentication framework has been implemented so
PyRCall can support many different authentication methods. Support for
username/password-based authentication has been implemented.

Data attributes of remote objects can now be accessed. This is due to extensions and improvements of the network protocol, and the implementation of custom attribute access methods in the stub classes on the client side. The server was improved as well. This includes per-client reference counting and better connection handling. Many bugs and strange corner cases were fixed. This release gives a hint on how this module is supposed to work once it is finished.
