HappyBase 0.8

Release date: 2014-02-25

Add (and default to) ‘0.96’ compatibility mode in Connection.
Add support for retrieving sorted columns, which is possible with the HBase 0.96 Thrift API. This feature uses a new sorted_columns argument to Table.scan(). An OrderedDict implementation is required for this feature; with Python 2.7 this is available from the standard library, but for Python 2.6 a separate ordereddict package has to be installed from PyPI. (issue #39)

[wbolster]

use python 3 or maybe dead 2.7 if you must.

python 2.6 is completely end of life and i will not spend time maintaining compatibility for it.
