<div><br></div><div>Major changes have been made to Python-EFL in the past year since 1.7 release first came out. The usual has been done in fixing bugs, optimizing speed and much more. (See **changes.html** in the tarball for full list of changes.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>== Merged EFL tree ==</div><div><br></div><div>We have merged **evas **, **ecore**, **edje**, **emotion**, **dbus_mainloop** and **elementary** inside a single **efl** top-level package (as you can see now there are no more separate packages to download, only python-efl).</div>
<div><br></div><div>== Python 3 support ==</div><div><br></div><div>This new release is (finally) fully compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3. If you need to install for several versions just use the version specific Python binary while installing, for example:</div>
<div><br></div><div>  python3.3 setup.py install</div><div>  </div><div>will install the bindings for use with Python 3.3.</div><div><br></div><div>== Improved documentation ==</div><div><br></div><div>**Python-EFL** now has fairly complete documentation built using Sphinx. The docs can be generated by the user for local reading (see below), or browsed online at:</div>
