We are happy to announce PyTables 2.3.
This release comes after abour 10 months of development and after that
Francesc Altet, the creator of PyTables, ceased activities with the project.

Thank you Francesc.

Also the project has been moved to GitHub: http://github.com/PyTables/PyTables.

What's new

The main new features in 2.3 series are:

* PyTables now includes the codebase of PyTables Pro (now release under open
source license) gaining a lot of performance improvements and some new
features like:

- the new and powerful indexing engine: OPSI
- a fine-tuned LRU cache for both metadata (nodes) and regular data

* The entire documentation set has been converted to ReStructuredTest and
Sphinx

As always, a large amount of bugs have been addressed and squashed too.
