2016-06-24 - Version 2.0.0 - "Attitude Adjuster"
------------------------------------------------

This version is based on the original version of python-escpos by Manuel F Martinez. However, many contributions have
greatly improved the old codebase. Since this version does not completely match the interface of the version published
on PyPi and has many improvements, it will be released as version 2.0.0.

- refactor complete code in order to be compatible with Python 2 and 3
- modernize packaging
- add testing and CI
- merge various forks into codebase, fixing multiple issues with barcode-, QR-printing, cashdraw and structure
- improve the documentation
- extend support of barcode-codes to type B
- add function to disable panel-buttons
- the text-functions are now intended for unicode, the driver will automatically encode the string based on the selected
  codepage
- the image-functions are now much more flexible
