  during the clone operation

- Add support for Python 3.7.


4.1.0 (2017-07-31)
==================

- Drop support for Python 2.6, 3.2 and 3.3.

- Add support for Python 3.5 and 3.6.

- 100% unit test coverage.

- Add support for continuous integration using ``tox`` and ``jenkins``.

- Add Sphinx documentation:  moved doctest examples to API reference.

- Add 'setup.py docs' alias (installs ``Sphinx`` and dependencies).
