Mwclient 0.7.0 was released on 27 September 2014.
Upgrade notices:
- This version requires minimum Python 2.6 and MediaWiki 1.16.
Support for Python 2.4–2.5 and MediaWiki 1.11–1.15 has been dropped.
- The `Page.edit()` method has been renamed to `Page.text()`.
While `Page.edit()` is deprecated, it will be available for a long time.
The old `Page.text` attribute, that used to store a copy of the wikitext
from the last `Page.edit()` call, has been removed entirely.
The `readonly` argument has also been removed (it was never really
implemented, so it acted only as a dummy argument before the removal).
- The `Page.get_expanded()` method has been deprecated in favour of
calling `Page.text(expandtemplates=True)`.
