* Release 1.5.5 (2020-11-12)
** Upload wheel packages to the Python Package Index.
Wheel packages for Python 2.7/Windows turned out to be broken
(issue 34). Version 1.5.5 is simply an update to address this.
No changes to zfec itself.
Release 1.5.3:
** Fix setup.py problem that broke builds on slackware (or other systems with
setuptools-22.0.5, which is too old to know that "name" might come from
the setup.cfg metadata section)
Release 1.5.2:
** Add Appveyor (CI for Windows)
** Use older C syntax to appease the Windows compilers we use on Appveyor.
The previous release just didn't compile there, which broke Tahoe builds.
Release 1.5.1:
** stop using PBR, it interacts badly with Versioneer, causing bad version
strings like "0+unknown" after pip install
Release 1.5.0:
** Add support for python3.5/3.6/3.7
** switch to PBR for packagine
** fix unclosed-file and illegal-seek errors
** fix memory leak in fec.c
** remove unused stdeb.cfg

Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
either because they themselves are not ready or because a
dependency isn't. This is annotated by
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # not yet ported as of x.y.z
or
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # py-foo, py-bar
respectively, please use the same style for other packages,
and check during updates.
Use versioned_dependencies.mk where applicable.
Use REPLACE_PYTHON instead of handcoded alternatives, where applicable.
Reorder Makefile sections into standard order, where applicable.
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCLUDE_3X lines since that will be default
with the next commit.
Whitespace cleanups and other nits corrected, where necessary.
A fast erasure codec which can be used with the command-line, C,
Python, or Haskell.
Fast, portable, programmable erasure coding a.k.a. "forward error
correction": the generation of redundant blocks of information such
that if some blocks are lost then the original data can be recovered
from the remaining blocks. The zfec package includes command-line
tools, C API, Python API, and Haskell API.
