• The default port for the serve command has been changed from 0 to 8080.
• The watch command now automatically launches the test server to view the site.
• We revert to the original algorithm for locating and rewriting @root/ urls, i.e. only urls enclosed in quotes or angle brackets will be rewritten. (Quotes are preserved, angle brackets evaporate.)

0.6.0

• The site configuration file has been renamed from site.py to config.py. Old site.py files will continue to be recognised. (Some Python installations were confusing the site.py file with the standard library's site module, causing the interpreter to crash when Ivy was run from the site directory.)
