Version 1.2
~~~~~~~~~~~
- added ``getthreadtitle()`` and ``setthreadtitle()``.
- Initialisation of the module moved to the first usage: importing the module
doesn't cause side effects.
- Manage much longer command lines (#52)
- Improved build on BSD, dropped ancient versions (issue #67).
- Fixed build for Python 3.8 (#66, #72)
- Added support for Python 3.9
- Dropped support for Python < 3.6

SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Version 1.1.9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fixed build on VC (issues #20, #33).
- Added ``MANIFEST.in`` to the source distribution to help with RPM building
(issue #30).
The library allows a process to change its title (as displayed by
system tools such as ps and top).
Changing the title is mostly useful in multi-process systems, for
example when a master process is forked: changing the children's
title allows to identify the task each process is busy with. The
technique is used by PostgreSQL and the OpenSSH Server for example.
