+- updated to upstrean release 0.1.8
+  - ObjectIdentifier codec fixed to work properly with arc 0 and arc 2 values.
+  - Explicit limit on ObjectIdentifier arc value size removed.
+  - Unicode initializer support added to OctetString type and derivatives.
+  - New prettyPrintType() abstract method implemented to base pyasn1 types
+    to facilitate encoding errors analisys.
+  - The __str__() method implemented to Tag, TagSet and TagMap classes to
+    ease encoding errors troubleshooting.
+    easing encoding errors
+  - Fix to SEQUENCE and SET types to give them their private componentTypes
+    collection (which is a NamedTypes object) so that they won't collide in
+    a MT execution environment.
+  - Missing T61String,ISO646String character types and ObjectDescriptor useful
+    type added.
+  - Distribute is gone, switched to setuptools completely.
+  - Missing NamedValues.__repr__() added.
+  - The base.NoValue() class, that indicates uninitialized ASN.1 object,
+    made public.
+  - The base.NoValue() class instances now support __repr__() what makes
+    possible to perform repr() on uninitialized pyasn1 types objects.
+  - When comparing ASN.1 types, by-tag and/or by-constraints matching
+    can now be performed with the isSuperTypeOf()/isSameTypeWith() optional
+    flags.
+  - Constructed types now verify their consistency by invoking 
+    isSameTypeWith(matchTags=True, matchConstraints=False) and
+    isSuperTypeOf(matchTags=False, matchConstraints=True) for each of their
+    components rather than isSuperTypeOf() as it used to be. Constriants check 
+    could be enforced to isSameTypeWith() with the strictConstraints=True
+    constructed classes attribute.
+  - Constructed types can now be initialized with new .setComponents() method
+    which accepts both var-args and keyword-args. Default repr() modified to
+    reflect this change.
+  - NamedTypes() and NamedValues() made comparable.
+  - Test coverage extended to cover pyasn1 types __repr__() function.
+  - The abs(Integer()) & abs(Real()) operation now returns respective pyasn1 
+    type, not a Python type.
+  - More Python magic methods implementations added to Integer & Real classes
+    (e.g.  __pos__, __neg__, __round__, __floor__, __ceil__, __trunc__)
+  - The Integer.__invert__ Python magic method implemented.
+  - The OctetString.__int__() and .__float__() magic methods implemented.
+  - Handle the case of null writer at Debug printer.
+  - BitString encoder/decoder performance improved.
+  - Built-in debugging is now based on Python logging module.
+  - Fix to NamedType.__repr__() to work properly.
+  - Fixes to __repr__() implementation of many built-in ASN.1 types to take into
+    account all of their initializers such as tagSet, subtypeSpec etc.
+  - String typed float initializer to REAL type now supported.
+  - Float typed mantissa initializer to REAL type for base 2 added.
+  - Encoding bases 8 and 16 support for REAL type binary encoder added.
+  - More strict CER/DER encoders added for GeneralizedTime and UTCTime types.
+  - Asn1Item.hasValue() added to easily distinguish initalized ASN.1 objects
+    from uninitialized ones (e.g. pure types).
+  - Fix to REAL type binary decoder to handle different bases and scale factor.
+  - Fix to TagSet.repr() to include [obsolete] baseTag information.
+  - Fix to broken REAL type decoding handling.
+  - Fix to BitString and OctetString decoders dealing with constructed
+    encoding -- it used to be possible to embed other types in substrate.
+  - Fix to end-of-octest sentinel handling:
+    * require strict two-zeros sentinel encoding
+    * recognize EOO sentinel only when explicitly requested by caller
+      of the decoder via allowEoo=True parameter (warning: API change)
+  - DER codec hardened not to tolerate indefinite length encoding/decoding.
