This release contains the following improvements:
* Support for Python 3! 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 are tested and supported.
* A new API with a class, that allows for connection reuse, which is nice. The old API is still supported, but deprecated.
Users should be aware that requests is now a dependency, and error situations that resulted in urllib exceptions before, may result in requests exceptions. For NTLM support requests-ntlm is required. Support for Python 2.5 and 2.6 is dropped, but Python 2.6 should still work (just not tested).
