=====
Added a couple of convenience methods to the API and fixed a few bugs.
- Added a 'started' parameter to nflgame.{games,games_gen,one} that when set,
will only return games that have already started or will start in five
minutes. This is useful for preemptying 404 errors that may be too costly.
- Added a max_player_stats method to the Game class. It works by combining
player statistics reported at the game level and player statistics reported
at the play level. Each statistic is combined by taking the max of each
value. (This is a heuristic designed to mitigate errors in the GameCenter
JSON data. It is not perfect.)
- Deprecated the nflgame.combine function. It has been replaced by three
different ways of combining player data across games: combine game level
player statistics with nflgame.combine_game_stats, combine play level
player statistics with nflgame.combine_play_stats and combine the maximum
of game and play level statistics with nflgame.combine_max_stats.
- Added three two point conversion properties to player stats objects: twopta,
twoptm and twoptmissed. These group the two point conversion statistics that
exist only as individual passing, rushing and receiving statistics.
- Fixed a bug in the main sequence generator where decorated properties
could not be used as a field in 'filter'. (i.e., use 'getattr' instead of
accessing '__dict__' directly.)
- Fixed bug 9. (Updated PlayerStats.csv to work with recent API changes.)
- Added a 'defense_tds' statistical field in the nflgame.statmap module for
convenience purposes.
