This document details the modifications to PyTables since version 1.2. Its
13
main purpose is help you ensure that your programs will be runnable when you
14
switch from PyTables 1.2 to PyTables @VERSION@.
20
- The ``Table.Cols`` accessor has received a new ``__setitem__()`` method that
21
allows doing things like::
23
table.cols[4] = record
24
table.cols.x[4:1000:2] = array # homogeneous column
25
table.cols.Info[4:1000:2] = recarray # nested column
28
Backward-incompatible changes

=============================
43
- ``Table.itersequence()`` has changed the default value for the ``sort``
44
parameter. It is now false by default, as it is not clear if this actually
45
accelerates the iterator, so it is better to let the user do the proper
46
checks (if interested).
