 - orm
     - fixed fairly critical bug whereby the same instance could be listed
       more than once in the unitofwork.new collection; most typically
       reproduced when using a combination of inheriting mappers and 
       ScopedSession.mapper, as the multiple __init__ calls per instance
       could save() the object with distinct _state objects
-      
+
     - added very rudimentary yielding iterator behavior to Query.  Call
       query.yield_per(<number of rows>) and evaluate the Query in an 
       iterative context; every collection of N rows will be packaged up
