16219	Mako-1.2.0 (Python module)	Bruce Dubbs	Bruce Dubbs	"New minor version.

changed

- Corrected “universal wheel” directive in setup.cfg so that
  building a wheel does not target Python 2.

- The bytestring_passthrough template argument is removed, 
  as this flag only applied to Python 2.

- With the removal of Python 2’s cStringIO, Mako now uses its 
  own internal FastEncodingBuffer exclusively.

- Removed disable_unicode flag, that’s no longer used in Python 3.

- Refactored test utilities into mako.testing module. 
  Removed unittest.TestCase dependency in favor of pytest.

- Replaced the use of pkg_resources with the importlib library.  
  For Python < 3.8 the library importlib_metadata is used.

- Removed support for Python 2 and Python 3.6.  
  Mako now requires Python >= 3.7.

bug

- Mako now performs exception chaining using raise from, correctly 
  identifying underlying exception conditions when it raises its 
  own exceptions."	enhancement	closed	normal	11.2	BOOK	git	medium	fixed
