Full changelog is at http://excess.org/urwid/wiki/ChangeLog
- Rendering is now significantly faster.
- The curses_display module can now draw in the lower-right corner of the screen.
- New Widget base class for all widgets. It includes automatic caching of rows() and render() methods. It also adds a new __super attribute for accessing methods in superclasses.
- Widgets must now call self._invalidate() to notify the cache when their content has changed.
- To disable caching in a widget set the class variable no_cache to a list that includes the string "render".
- Canvas classes have been reorganized: Canvas has been renamed to TextCanvas and Canvas is now the base class for all canvases. New canvas classes include BlankCanvas, SolidCanvas and CompositeCanvas.
- All display modules now have start() and stop() methods that may be used instead of calling run_wrapper().
- Many internal string processing functions have been rewritten in C to improve their performance.
- Compatible with Python >= 2.2. Python 2.1 is no longer supported.
- Improved performance in UTF-8 mode when ASCII text is used.
- Added a clear() function to the the display modules to force the screen to be repainted on the next draw_screen() call.
