About this release:
===================

This is a major feature release for Urwid, and the first for our new maintainer!

Allow me to extend the warmest welcome to Andrew Dunai. Andrew has
generously taken over Urwid maintenance, which I've done a terrible
job of over the last few years.

In just a couple weeks Andrew has overhauled the code base for Python
2/3 source compatibility, reviewed and responded to countless issues
and pull requests, updated tests, documentation and prepared this
release. I think we're in good hands!

Does it mean that you are stepping away? In such case, thanks a lot for
