1.9.1 (2012-10-02)
------------------
- Added server usage

  - Server class (wraps server related activities)
  - FunctionDescription and TypeDescription as classes for improved
    metadata handling.

- Added support for transactional, queued, and background RFC (tRFC, qRFC, bgRFC)
  for client usage.

- Renamed exceptions in accordance with PEP08:

  - Exception names changed to Error (e.g. ExternalRuntimeException renamed to
    ExternalRuntimeError).
  - Rfc now uppercase, e.g. RFCLibError.
  - Abap now uppercase, e.g. ABAPRuntimeError.

- Connection class

  - removed __init__ optional parameter `strip`, added `config` dictionary as optional
    parameter.
  - renamed connectionInfo to get_connection_attributes()
  - renamed resetServerContext to reset_server_context()

- RFCTYPE_BCD fields are now converted to Decimal object (wrap). For filling,
  you may pass either Decimal objects or floats.

1.9 (2012-09-14)
----------------
- Restructured exceptions:

  - All exceptions are now directly available in the pyrfc package (e.g. from pyrfc import LogonException)
  - RfclibException renamed to `RfcLibException`
  - All used exceptions (corresponding to RFC error group classes) inherit now from RfcLibException
    (implication for `LogonException`, `AbapRuntimeException`, `AbapApplicationException`)
  - Constructor for `RfcLibException` changed (first argument is now message), allowing to raise exceptions manually with
    only one string value
  - AbapException deleted.
  - Added external exceptions (`ExternalRuntimeException`, `ExternalApplicationException`, `ExternalAuthorizationException`)

- restructured and added tests (MRFC and STFC function groups).

  - fixed bugfix implications from rev. 1.8.2. (LogonException does not have code fields now)

- Added examples (sample/): printDescription.py

1.8.2 (2012-04-05)
------------------
- bugfix: LogonException now inherits from RfcException instead of
  RfcLibException so it only needs one message argument.

1.8.1 (2012-02-27)
------------------
- (bugfix in removed module)

1.8 (2012-02-07)
----------------
- added strip parameter in `Connection` to rstrip whitespaces in rfc results
- added resetServerContext
- fixed bug when dealing with xstring results
- added __bool__ for easy check if connections is alive
- release GIL for RfcInvoke and RfcOpenConnection


1.7 (2011-12-23)
----------------
- wrapped fillVariable into try..except block to
  enrich exception information
- Added _pyrfc.connectionInfo (sapnwrfc.RfcGetConnectionAttributes)


1.6 (2011-12-12)
----------------
- added bcd conversion
- added performance test
- added setup.py test suite


1.5 (2011-12-05)
----------------
- first buildout configuration that works on Linux and Windows
- rename the C extension to ``_pyrfc`` and importing it
  at the root of a new "real" Python package ``pyrfc``.
  This is fully backwards compatible and allows splitting the
  single module into a C-only part and separate Python modules
  for bettr maintainability.
- move pure Python code from the Cython extension module into
  separate Python modules for maintainability
