This is an intermediate release as we are still working towards supporting more general demographic models.
Major changes include:
* Updating the fwdpp back-end to the pre-release code for fwdpp 0.8.0. Almost none of these changes are "user facing".
* Add :class:`fwdpy11.SiteTable`, :class:`fwdpy11.Site` and new fields to :class:`fwdpy11.MutationRecord`. 258 These changes affect the API for some function calls. See :ref:`upgrade_path` for details.
Even though this release changes some of the tree sequence data structures, we are still able to read in files generated by version 0.4.5! (This is actually unit tested.)
Minor changes include:
* Add :func:`fwdpy11.gsl_version`. :class:`fwdpy11.MutationRecord`.256
* :attr:`fwdpy11.Mutation.g` is converted to the mutation's age when dumping table collections to tskit's format. 257
* New exception types from fwdpp registered as Python exceptions. 260
* Several updates to documentation and to continuous integration testing.
