Bumpversion cannot update the release date and trying to remember to
update it manually won't work.

The issuestats service has always been quite fragile, and the badge was often a broken image.
Changing to isitmaintained badge, which (appropriately enough) seems to be better maintained.

otherwise the logo gets awkwardly separated from the title

PR #136 fixes #88

These have been done automatically by my editor (in the form of a post
save hook).

Remove python2.6 from
- Travis
- Tox
- PyPi tags
- documentation and readme

Also, Simplify an import clause.

This fixes #133

- Adds link to the user guide from readme
- Adds a new page to the user guide on "working with files"

I'll create a CREDITS.md file containing the info removed on this commit and more, so we have a comprehensive history document.

- Add zip_safe flag

reStructuredText is quite picky

Added instructions and an example for changing the default user-agent,
as in: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User-Agent_policy .

Also replaced relative links in the README, since PyPI doesn't support
them, see http://stackoverflow.com/a/16594755/489916

since the method does not edit the page, but returns the text of the
page. The old method name still works, but issues a DeprecationWarning.
Note that DeprecationWarnings are silent by default, so we might
consider to elevate it in some future version.

If we do change it later, then we can update the readme accordingly.

- Increase version requirement from Python 2.4 to Python 2.6, and from MediaWiki 1.11 to 1.16
- Add three entries to release notes

- For some reason, 'pytest-cache' isn't found by setup.py if not
  specified explicitly in 'tests_require'
- Add tox.ini so tests can be run using tox if desired
- Update test to not be dependent on serialization

- A single command `python setup.py test` will now install test
  dependencies, make an in-place build and run the tests.
- The setup script now requires Setuptools. A message will be printed
  if it is not found.

- Adding note that 0.6.5 might not work with the latest MediaWiki versions
- Fix link to wiki
