Major changes in 2.3:
- Integrated functionality from PyTablesPro (re-licensed under a BSD license).
- OPSI is a powerful and innovative indexing engine allowing PyTables
to perform fast queries on arbitrarily large tables.
- A fine-tuned LRU cache for both metadata (nodes) and regular data.

Remove devel/py-ctypes (only needed by and supporting python24).
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED and PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE
lines that just mirror defaults now.
Miscellaneous cleanup while editing all these files.
changes:
-new compressor called Blosc (speed-up)
-A new `tables.Expr` module (based on Numexpr) that allows to do
persistent, on-disk computations on many algebraic operations.
-Support for HDF5 hard links, soft links and automatic external links
-Suport for 'fancy' indexing
-bugfixes
- assume that Python 2.4 and 2.5 are compatible and allow checking for
fallout.
- remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_COMPATIBLE that are obsoleted by the 2.3+
default. Modify the others to deal with the removals.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
This is a major version release.
changes include:
-Undo/Redo
-support for objects (and indexes!) with more than 2**31 rows
-new datatypes
-improved HDF5 support
-compression support
PyTables 0.9.1:
This release is mainly a maintenance version. In it, some bugs has been
fixed and a few improvements has been made. One important thing is that
chunk sizes in EArrays has been re-tuned to get much better performance
and compression rations. Besides, it has been tested against the latest
Python 2.4 and all test units seems to pass fine.
PyTables 0.9:
In this release you will find a series of quite exciting new features,
the most important being new indexing capabilities, in-kernel selections,
support for complex datatypes and the possibility to modify values in both
tables and arrays (yeah, finally :).
python*-pth packages into meta-packages which will install the non-pth
packages. Bump PKGREVISIONs on the non-pth versions to propagate the
thread change, but leave the *-pth versions untouched to not affect
existing installations.
Sync all PYTHON_VERSIONS_AFFECTED lines in package Makefiles.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
