It took some time, but the new routing code is finished.

Highlights:

• New wildcard syntax: /object/<id:int>
• Wildcard filtering/validation as part of the route syntax
• Support for custom wildcard filters
• Faster url() building
• Better error messages
• Much simpler code (I dropped CGI optimization)
• Lots of documentation
• (the old syntax still works)

You can read about it in the docs and test it in the "routing" branch. I am very exited about this feature and think it is important enough to trigger a new release. Please give it a try and test it with your applications. Any feedback may help to get this stable enough for a release.
