Python-rapidjson

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Compilable with somewhat old g++ (`issue 69`__)

__ https://github.com/python-rapidjson/python-rapidjson/issues/69

* **Backward incompatibilities**:

- all ``DATETIME_MODE_XXX`` constants have been shortened to ``DM_XXX``
``DATETIME_MODE_ISO8601_UTC`` has been renamed to ``DM_SHIFT_TO_UTC``

- all ``UUID_MODE_XXX`` constants have been shortened to ``UM_XXX``

* New option ``DM_UNIX_TIME`` to serialize date, datetime and time values as
`UNIX timestamps`__ targeting `issue 61`__

__ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time
__ https://github.com/python-rapidjson/python-rapidjson/issues/61

* New option ``DM_NAIVE_IS_UTC`` to treat naïve datetime and time values as if
they were in the UTC timezone (also for issue 61)

* New keyword argument ``number_mode`` to use underlying C library numbers

* Binary wheels for GNU/Linux and Windows on PyPI (one would hope: this is the
reason for the beta1 release)

48`__.
