This is the last release that will support Python 2.7. Thanks to the many contributors that made this release possible!

Main changes:

• Added support for Python 3.8 and 3.9.

• StatefulBrowser has new properties page, form, and url, which can be used in place of the methods get_current_page, get_current_form and get_url respectively (e.g. the new x.page is equivalent to x.get_current_page()). These methods may be deprecated in a future release. [#175]

• StatefulBrowser.form will raise an AttributeError instead of returning None if no form has been selected yet. Note that StatefulBrowser.get_current_form() still returns None for backward compatibility.

Bug fixes

• Decompose <select> elements with the same name when adding a new input element to a form. [#297]

• The params and data kwargs passed to submit will now properly be forwarded to the underlying request for GET methods (whereas previously params was being overwritten by data). [#343]
