-------------------
* fix issue #10, i.e. int(bitarray()) segfault
* added tests for using a bitarray object as an argument to functions
like int, long (on Python 2), float, list, tuple, dict
2012-04-04 0.8.0:
-------------------
* add Python 2.4 support
* add (module level) function bitdiff for calculating the difference
between two bitarrays

* search, itersearch now only except bitarray objects,
whereas __contains__ excepts either booleans or bitarrays
