New description:

 As I discussed on the NeXus mailing list a few weeks ago, there has been a
 major rewrite of the tree API that makes the API more robust and more
 convenient to use interactively. The major changes are:

 1) to give the NXfields (formerly SDSs) all the functionality of Numpy
 arrays

 2) to allow group items to be accessed through a dictionary interface

 3) to make the syntax cleaner by simplifying method names.

 I will be uploading a new version shortly, which will not be backwardly
 compatible with the previous one. Please contact Ray Osborn
 <ROsborn at anl.gov> if you need assistance upgrading to the new version.
