Changelog
~~~~~~~~~

- v0.7.5

- Fix an issue where dictionary attributes (like ``jtEnvironment``) could
encounter ``UnicodeDecodeError``s upon assignment.

- v0.7.4

- Switch to using preferred encoding from ``locale`` module for converting
strings to binary. This should prevent some lingering ``UnicodeEncodeError``
crashes on Python 2.7.

- v0.7.3

- Fix a couple crashes when certain functions that expect ``str`` were passed
integers.

- v0.7.2

- Fix a couple inconsistencies with ``str`` vs ``bytes`` in Python 3 in
``drmaa.session``.

- v0.7.1

- Add `Read The Docs documentation <http://drmaa-python.readthedocs.org>`__
- Add ``const`` module identifiers back into package namespace
- Remove ``b`` prefixes from strings inserted into error messages.

- v0.7.0

- String attribute issues with Python 3 have all been resolved, and now each
function that takes a string can handle unicode strings, and returns
unicode strings.
- All code has been updated to use future imports for ``unicode_literals``
and ``print_function``, so we're effectively writing Python 3 code now.
- PEP8 compliance changes all over the place, except those that would break
names required by underlying C DRMAA library.
- Now automatically run unit tests of Travis-CI with SGE, and all tests pass
for Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3. SGE is installed using scripts I describe
in `this gist <https://gist.github.com/dan-blanchard/6586533>`__.
- Unit tests are now in a top-level directory instead of a sub-directory
under the drmaa package.
- There is now a `session.py` module that contains most of the code that was
in ``__init__.py`` before, and ``__init__`` just imports things and sets
``__all__`` and ``__version__``, as is typically recommended now.
- Drops support for Python 2.5.
