Thanks for fixing that!

Looks fine to me.

I see two blockers for release currently:

  - page reloading should work (at least optional)
  - the docs need a serious upgrade (at least some upgrade guide)

Sure, you're both owners now.

Yep, I'd love to see that finished before release too.

Nice! If we could reproduce it that would be great. Please tell if you
found out more about that, although I'll have a look into this myself.

What do you think about pushing the next release to version number 2.0
(skipping 1.x)? I noticed that also z3c.pt tries to stay in touch with
Chameleon version-number-wise.

Best regards,
