I'm proud to present release 0.3.2 of the wordaxe hyphenation library for
Python.

wordaxe adds hyphenation support to the ReportLab and rst2pdf Python
libraries.
wordaxe supports using hyphenation dictionaries from Open Office through the
pyhyphen library
as well as a pure-Python hyphenation algorithm for the German language.

About release wordaxe-0.3.2:

Bug fixes and small improvements.
Using wordaxe within rst2pdf should work fine now.
Special thanks to Christoph Zwerschke and Harald Armin Massa.

* Support for nobr tag: not exactly how nobr works in HTML, but in a way
that allows disabling hyphenation for some words within a Paragraph with
hyphenation enabled, like this:
"Use the <nobr>--with-error-correction</nobr> option to automatically
correct all program errors."
* In order to make it easier to package applications with py2exe, the
German hyphenation dictionary used by DCWHyphenator is now a Python file.
* Fixed problems with multibuild.
* Fixed: If a paragraph contained explicit line breaks ("<br/>"), the width
was not calculated correctly.
* Cleaned up the test suite.
* Added missing attributes/methods.
