### What's New in Version 0.0.9
* new [apply](#apply) rules for assigning objects based on attribute conditions
* inline object definitions removed in favor of [apply](#apply) rules
* [import](#template-imports) keyword instead of `inherits` keyword for all objects

* [import](#template-imports) instead of `inherits` (examples in [localhost.conf](#localhost-conf))
* [apply](#apply) rules instead of inline definitions for [Service](#objecttype-service),
[Dependency](#objecttype-dependency), [Notification](#objecttype-notitifcation),
[ScheduledDowntime](#objecttype-scheduleddowntime) objects (examples in [localhost.conf](#localhost-conf)).
