Hi,
A major release here! There has been a lot of work to get to this point, and a fair bit of work still remains to be done. You can see the full details of the changes at
Milestone 0.8.00, but the two really major changes are:
- Much better Unicode support
- Python 2/3 support (Python 2.7, Python 3.5+)
As far as we can tell, all series-7 changes during this timeframe were made to series-8 as well. Please let us know if we missed anything.
As with any dot-zero release, there will be bugs. Please file a
bug report if you find one. If you could, also include a suggested patch or merge.
A great deal of thanks goes out to the contributors! None of this would be possible without their continued support.
...Thanks,
...Ken
