    version: 1.7.0
    date: August 11, 2015
    notes: >
        Doc tweaks. Bump to 1.7 to signify new development plateau and
        also to resolve a versioning glitch re PyPI (some mentions say
        1.3.9, others 1.6.9, which is no bueno).

    notes: >
        Updates the testing matrix, packaging, and documentation.
        All vestiges of support for Python 2.5 and PyPy 1.9 and earlier
        are officially withdrawn; if you're still back there, upgrade alredy!

    version: 1.6.4
    notes: >
        ``decimal_entities()`` is a synonym for ``numeric_entities()``.

-
    version: 1.6.3
    notes: >
        ``entities()`` raises a bespoke ``UnknownEntities`` class rather
        that ``KeyError`` if you request an unknown type of entities. More important,
        an old version of ``namedentities`` that was interfering with automated ``pip``
        installations has been removed from PyPI.

-
    version: 1.6
    notes: >

        ``entities()`` API added. A slightly different import mechanism is used.

        The ``numeric_entities(text)`` and ``hex_entities(text)`` APIs have been
        added, shifting the module's mission from "named entities" to "general
        purpose entity transformation." Live and learn!

        The ``unescape(text)`` API changes all entities into Unicode characters.
        While long present, is now available for easy external consumption. It has an
        alias, ``unicode_entities(text)`` for parallelism with the other APIs.

        Repackaged first as a Python package, rather than independent modules. Then,
        given my growing confidence in managing cross-version packages, previously
        separate backend implementations for Python 2 and Python 3 have been merged
        into a single backend.
