Tue Mar 29 07:04:48 BST 2011

I am pleased to announce that Pika v0.9.5 is now available for download. Pika AMQP 0-9-1/RabbitMQ 2.0+ client library for Python.

Pika v0.9.5 adds over 100 additional unit and functional tests covering Python 2.4 through Python 2.7 and addresses major bugs found in v0.9.4. 

All users of the 0.9 tree of Pika are highly encouraged to upgrade to v0.9.5.

Pika's home has moved to https://github.com/pika and documentation is now available at http://pika.github.com.

Thanks to Brian K. Jones, Jason J. W. Williams, Marek Majkowski, Peter Magnusson and Samuel Stauffer for bug-fixes, suggestions and contributions to this release.

Pika v0.9.5 is mainly a bug fix version and is intended to be the last version in the 0.9 tree, however please report any issues at https://github.com/pika/pika/issues

Pika may be installed via source from http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pika/pika-0.9.5.tar.gz (md5: 38527f6977bf0a0b204710b93b0c6417)
