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! ![0.0.7](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/thecrazygm/23tbH2SriBgCe6otDEx1r8mbJeX1aRBSdqt8erw8n1KTgrFZ7HEXantXkUcmsQCHv4XTJ.png) 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: ```bash pip install --upgrade hive-nectar ``` As always, the source code is available on GitHub: [https://github.com/TheCrazyGM/hive-nectar](https://github.com/TheCrazyGM/hive-nectar) And the package is live on PyPI: [https://pypi.org/project/hive-nectar/](https://pypi.org/project/hive-nectar/) 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, Michael Garcia a.k.a. TheCrazyGM
