Mecab-python3

This is a test release for M1 wheels. As I do not have an M1 Mac, help testing is needed.

You can install the release like this:

pip install mecab-python3==1.0.8a1

If it works, please let me know in https://github.com/SamuraiT/mecab-python3/issues/84.

This release includes a minor change to debugging output on failed initialization. It's common to forget to install a dictionary with mecab-python3, this just makes that failure state more apparent.

Some build-related changes added since the last release are also included.

This release adds Python 3.11 wheels. There are no other changes.

This release adds wheels for Python 3.10. There are no other changes.

These changes are partly based on changes made to [fugashi](https://github.com/polm/fugashi), so thanks again to lambdadog for help with that.

This is a minor release with a few small improvements.

Most commits in this release are related to generating wheels and have no effect on the library in use. Thanks to odidev for adding aarch64 support (66).

One change is that errors at initialization time now throw a RuntimeError instead of writing directly to stdout. Thanks to eggplants for pointing out that the current behavior was undesirable (67).

A small documentation change is a note about the top-level `MeCab.VERSION` attribute. This refers to the version of the MeCab binary, not this package, and so it's been 0.996 for years, and is not likely to be useful. It's being kept around now for compatibility purposes. Thanks to rggdmonk for pointing this out (68).

This release reflects builds moving off of Travis and on to Github Actions.

If you are using Python 3 you should see no changes. Support for Python 2 is dropped.

Wheels have always been built on Travis; when they were first set up Github Actions didn't exist. Travis will be closing down the .org domain builds were using soon, and their pricing plan is changing in a way that could potentially affect builds. Since builds aren't terribly complicated anyway they have been migrated to Github Actions.

A side effect of this is that Github Actions has no support for Python 2. Since Python 2 met end of life a while ago, support was maintained as long as it was zero effort. It would no longer be zero effort so the time has come to remove it. If you need Python 2 I suggest you get a new job, but you can keep using v1.0.2.
