- No longer supports Python 2.6
- You must now call Connection.connect() to establish the connection.
The Connection constructor no longer has side effects, so you have
to explicitly call connect first.
- Library rewritten to anticipate async changes.
- Connection now exposes underlying socket options.
This change allows to set arbitrary TCP socket options during the creation of
the transport.
Those values can be set passing a dictionray where the key is the name of
the parameter we want to set.
The names of the keys are the ones reported above.
Contributed by Andrea Rosa, Dallas Marlow and Rongze Zhu.
- Additional logging for heartbeats.
Contributed by Davanum Srinivas, and Dmitry Mescheryakov.

Fix contributed by Adrien Guinet.
- SSL: ``ssl`` dict argument now supports the ``check_hostname`` key
(Issue 63).
