release 0.4 of python-stdnum

[Arthur de Jong <arthur [at] arthurdejong.org>]

Another release (0.4) of python-stdnum has just been made available.
The following formats were added:
  - CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas, the Brazillian national
    identification number)
  - IBAN (International Bank Account Number)
  - ISIL (International Standard Identifier for Libraries and Related
    Organizations)
  - SSN (U.S. Social Security Number)

Backwards incompatible change: The regional-specific numbers are now in
ISO 3166 packages (the BSN module is now in stdnum.nl.bsn).

An internal module to store and handle hierarchically organised  data
structures efficiently was implemented and the ISBN module functions now
have a convert flag to convert to ISBN-13 on the fly.

The software and related information can be found at:
  http://arthurdejong.org/python-stdnum/

Also, a trac instance has been set up with a wiki. Users are encouraged
to request new number formats through creating tickets:
  http://arthurdejong.org/trac/python-stdnum/

Development of the library is still ongoing and contributions and
suggestions are more than welcome.

Any feedback is very much appreciated. Please direct questions,
comments, additions, suggestions, etc to the mailing list:
  python-stdnum-users@lists.arthurdejong.org
or use trac.
