This is a pure technical release that does not change the functionality of the package.
It ensures that the package builds with a modern Python toolchain and continuous integration systems. For details, see #8, contributed by Branch Vincent. In addition, it cleans up some source files missing from the distribution (see #17)) and several minor issues in the documentation.
Because of this, support for Python 2 and Python 3.8 or older had to be dropped. If you are stuck with such a version, use ebcdic 1.1.1, which currently has the same functionality.
In addition, the documentation has been cleaned up to better conform to the standard layout of modern open source projects (see #25):
- The list of changes is now a separate
CHANGES.mdinstead of part of theebcdic/README.md. - The
CONTRIBUTING.mdnow includes all the instructions to build the package and run tests. Before, they were spreadout across the differentREADMEfiles. - The main
README.mdis a concise overview pointing to the other parts of the documentation for details.
And finally, you can now show your appreciation of this package by donating to it.
