------------------- * add exception to setup.py when README.rst cannot be opened
0.8.2
------------------- * add official Python 3.6 support (although it was already working) * fix description of `fill()`, 52 * handle extending self correctly, 28 * `copy_n()`: fast copy with `memmove()` fixed, 43 * minor clarity/wording changes to README, 23
0.8.1
------------------- * fix issue 10, i.e. `int(bitarray())` segfault * added tests for using a bitarray object as an argument to functions like int, long (on Python 2), float, list, tuple, dict
0.8.0
------------------- * add Python 2.4 support * add (module level) function bitdiff for calculating the difference between two bitarrays
0.7.0
------------------- * add iterdecode method (C level), which returns an iterator but is otherwise like the decode method * improve memory efficiency and speed of pickling large bitarray objects
0.6.0
------------------- * add buffer protocol to bitarray objects (Python 2.7 only) * allow slice assignment to 0 or 1, e.g. `a[::3] = 0` (in addition to booleans) * moved implementation of itersearch method to C level (Lluis Pamies) * search, itersearch now only except bitarray objects, whereas `__contains__` excepts either booleans or bitarrays * use a priority queue for Huffman tree example (thanks to Ushma Bhatt) * improve documentation
