Hive-Nectar v0.0.7 Now Generally Available!

Good news for Python developers on Hive! I'm pleased to announce the official general availability release of hive-nectar version 0.0.7.

This release follows the testing period for the 0.0.7b pre-release. The main goal of this cycle was removing legacy Python 2 dependencies to modernize the library, and thanks to community testing – with a special shoutout to @brianoflondon for diving in and helping identify issues – I believe this version is now stable and ready for general use.

Key Updates in v0.0.7:

• Python 2 Dependencies Removed: The primary change is the removal of old Python 2 compatibility code and dependencies.
• Python 3.10 Compatibility: Based on feedback from @paulmoon410 who ran into version issues trying to use the pre-release on a Raspberry Pi, I've lowered the minimum required Python version back down from 3.12 to 3.10. This should ensure better compatibility across more environments.
• Bug Fixes: Includes fixes identified during the pre-release testing (like the memo encoding issue Brian found).

It's Live!

The package has been built and pushed up to the Python Package Index (PyPI).

How to Get It:

You can now install or upgrade to the official v0.0.7 release easily using pip:

pip install --upgrade hive-nectar

As always, the source code is available on GitHub:

And the package is live on PyPI:

Thanks again to everyone who helped test the pre-release. Hopefully, this version provides a stable and slightly more modern base for your Python Hive projects!

As always,
