This release integrates most of the GSoC contributions from our 3 students. It is also the last feature release supporting Python 2.7.
We will be removing all the compatibility code as we go from now on.
One of the reasons for having continued to support Python 2 for an extra year, albeit all the problems it created on the Continuous Integration end is the VFX Industry which is still heavily relying on Python 2.7.
Updating and changing the pipelines while being middle of movie production is challenging and takes a lot of time.
