<p>The following are only available within Nyx's <a href="#git">git repository</a>.</p>
<p>From a user perspective little has changed, but this release is nothing less than a complete rewrite of our codebase. This adds long overdue <b>support for python 3.x</b>, test coverage, and migrate from TorCtl to <a href="https://stem.torproject.org/">Stem</a>.</p>
- <p>Python 2.5 is no longer supported. By now hopefully nobody will miss it.</p>
