Changes in version 0.7.0

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).
