+The lockfile package exports a LockFile class which provides a simple API for
+locking files.  Unlike the Windows msvcrt.locking function, the fcntl.lockf
+and flock functions, and the deprecated posixfile module, the API is
+identical across both Unix (including Linux and Mac) and Windows platforms.
+The lock mechanism relies on the atomic nature of the link (on Unix) and
+mkdir (on Windows) system calls.  An implementation based on SQLite is also
+provided, more as a demonstration of the possibilities it provides than as
+production-quality code.
+
+Note: In version 0.9 the API changed in two significant ways:
+
+ * It changed from a module defining several classes to a package containing
+   several modules, each defining a single class.
+
+ * Where classes had been named SomethingFileLock before the last two words
+   have been reversed, so that class is now SomethingLockFile.
+
+The previous module-level definitions of LinkFileLock, MkdirFileLock and
+SQLiteFileLock will be retained until the 1.0 release.

+Version 0.9.1
+=============
+
+* This release moves the source location to Google Code.
+
+* Threaded support is currently broken.  (It might not actually be broken.
+  It might just be the tests which are broken.)
+
+Version 0.9
+===========
+
+* The lockfile module was reorganized into a package.
+
+* The names of the three main classes have changed as follows:
+
+    LinkFileLock -> LinkLockFile
+    MkdirFileLock -> MkdirLockFile
+    SQLiteFileLock -> SQLiteLockFile
+
+* A PIDLockFile class was added.
+
+Version 0.3
+===========
+
+* Fix 2.4.diff file error.
+
+* More documentation updates.
+
+Version 0.2
+===========
+
+* Added 2.4.diff file to patch lockfile to work with Python 2.4 (removes use
+  of with statement).
+
+* Renamed _FileLock base class to LockBase to expose it (and its docstrings)
+  to pydoc.
+
+* Got rid of time.sleep() calls in tests (thanks to Konstantin
+  Veretennicov).
+
+* Use thread.get_ident() as the thread discriminator.
+
+* Updated documentation a bit.
+
+* Added RELEASE-NOTES.
+
+Version 0.1
+===========
+
