• Moved the evaluate_functions function out of the flask_restless.search module and corrected documentation about how function evaluation works.
• Added allow_functions keyword argument to flask_restless.APIManager.create_api.
• Fixed bug where we weren't allowing PUT requests in flask.ext.restless.manager.APIManager.create_api.
