4 October 2015 Version 0.4.1
[Bugfix] - Fix Pafy.streams
4 October 2015 Version 0.4.0
[Major Update!] - Pull in youtube-dl as a dependency, replacing current stream code [#109]
This is a major change, and will likely prove controversial, so version 0.3.76 has been released concurrently with all the changes not related to youtube-dl. This makes the code simpler and easier to maintain while fixing various bugs, but has some disadvantages.
If this is a problem for you, please use version 0.3.76 AND state your reasons and suggestions at issue #110 on Github.
