- This is a major refactoring of the codebase, removing a number of heavy dependencies including `numpy`.
- The codebase in now pure-Python, using `ctypes` to interface with libraries. A compiler is no longer necessary to build from source.
- Numerous Python 3 compatibility bugs were resolved. Python 3 is now the preferred interpreter, although Python 2.7 remains supported.
- Greatly improved test coverage.
- `pygame` and `curses` interfaces are now deprecated and will be removed in 2.1. They may be omitted from packaged versions. `sdl2` and `ansi` interfaces remain supported.
- A large number of bugs have been fixed, in particular console issues.
