2010 May 19: PyXPlot 0.8.0

Summary:

This release is a major update, for which PyXPlot’s original python code has been completely rewritten in C with the addition of many new features. Because of the scale of this update, there is some minor syntax incompatibility with previous versions where features have undergone particularly heavy change. The most apparent change is the increase in speed and efficiency resultant from the use of a compiled language: especially when handling large datafiles, PyXPlot 0.8.0 can run more than an order-of-magnitude faster than previous versions.
