Plyvel-ci

==========

Release date: 2014-08-27

* Ensure that the Python GIL is initialized when a custom comparator is used,
since the background thread LevelDB uses for compaction calls back into Python
code in that case. This makes single-threaded programs using a custom
comparator work as intended. (`issue 35
<https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/issues/35>`_)

==========

Release date: 2013-11-29

* Allow snapshots to be closed explicitly using either
:py:meth:`Snapshot.close()` or a ``with`` block (`issue 21
<https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/issues/21>`_)

==========

Release date: 2013-11-15

* New raw iterator API that mimics the LevelDB C++ interface. See
:py:meth:`DB.raw_iterator()` and :py:class:`RawIterator`. (`issue 17
<https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/issues/17>`_)

* Migrate to `pytest` and `tox` for testing (`issue 24
<https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/issues/24>`_)

* Performance improvements in iterator and write batch construction. The
internal calls within Plyvel are now a bit faster, and the `weakref` handling
required for iterators is now a lot faster due to replacing
:py:class:`weakref.WeakValueDictionary` with manual `weakref` handling.

* The `fill_cache`, `verify_checksums`, and `sync` arguments to various methods
are now correctly taken into account everywhere, and their default values are
now booleans reflecting the the LevelDB defaults.

==========

Release date: 2013-10-18

* Allow iterators to be closed explicitly using either
:py:meth:`Iterator.close()` or a ``with`` block (`issue 19
<https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/issues/19>`_)

* Add useful ``__repr__()`` for :py:class:`DB` and :py:class:`PrefixedDB`
instances (`issue 16 <https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/issues/16>`_)

==========

Release date: 2013-09-17

* Fix :py:meth:`Iterator.seek()` for :py:class:`PrefixedDB` iterators
(`issue 15 <https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/issues/15>`_)

* Make some argument type checking a bit stricter (mostly ``None`` checks)

* Support LRU caches larger than 2GB by using the right integer type for the
``lru_cache_size`` :py:class:`DB` constructor argument.

* Documentation improvements

==========

Release date: 2013-06-17

* Add optional 'default' argument for all ``.get()`` methods
(`issue 11 <https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/issues/11>`_)
