Description:
    Conary 1.1.21 is a maintenance release.
    
    Repository Changes:
     o  A "hidden" keyword argument has been added to the
        commitChangeSet() and hasTroves() method. This allows mirror
        users to commit troves which will never be displayed to users. The
        presentHiddenTroves() call makes all hidden troves visible. The
        XML-RPC protocol version is now 46.
    
    Internal Changes:
     o  StreamSet operations in C now use a common StreamSet_GetSSD()
        function which creates the _streamDict object if it does not yet
        exist. This fixes crashes in rare cases where a StreamSet.find()
        class method is used before any instances of that StreamSet have
        been created. (CNY-1524)
     o  Numeric StreamSet types can now have values set to None (which
        indicates that there is no value set at all). Additionally, if
        passed an empty string to the thaw() method, the value is set to
        None. (CNY-1366)
    
    Bug Fixes:
     o  A bug in commitChangeSet() which returned a "file not found"
        error when the user had insufficient permission for the commit
        operation has been fixed.
     o  A bug that caused Conary to raise an unhandled exception when
        updating a trove that has missing TroveInfo data in the local
        database. When new types are added to TroveInfo, older versions
        of Conary omit the new data from the database. Once a version of
        Conary is used that understands the new data types, the missing
        data is restored to the previously incomplete trove.
     o  Handling user permissions when committing under certain
        circumstances against a Conary 1.1.20 was fixed. (CNY-1488)
