==========
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.
