This change updates the PyKMIP server, allowing it to process and use group-based operation policies. The server still supports the original operation policy file format, so no immediate difference should be apparent to users. Future documentation changes will explain group-based policy files and how they should be used.

PyKMIP is a Python implementation of the Key Management Interoperability
Protocol (KMIP), an `OASIS`_ communication standard for the management of
objects stored and maintained by key management systems. KMIP defines how key
management operations and operation data should be encoded and communicated
between client and server applications. Supported operations include the full
`CRUD`_ key management lifecycle, including operations for managing object
metadata and for conducting cryptographic operations. Supported object types
include:
* symmetric/asymmetric encryption keys
* passwords/passphrases
* certificates
* opaque data blobs, and more
For more information on KMIP, check out the `OASIS KMIP Technical Committee`_
and the `OASIS KMIP Documentation`_.
