This document addresses the difference between SimPy versions
1.7 and version 1.7.1 in terms of changes and additions.

Changes
=========

-   Repaired a bug in the _get methods of Store and Level which could lead to synchronization problems 
    (blocking of producer processes, despite space being available in the buffer).
    
-   Repaired Level __init__ method to allow initialBuffered to be of either float or int type. 
  
Additions
============

-   Added type test for Level get parameter 'nrToGet' to limit it to positive
    int or float.
    
-   To improve pretty-printed output of 'Level' objects, changed attribute
    '_nrBuffered' to 'nrBuffered' (synonym for 'amount' property)
    
-   To improve pretty-printed output of 'Store' objects, added attribute
    'buffered' (which refers to '_theBuffer')
