- update to version 1.4.0:
* IMPORTANT: Previously, the pure Python reader would allow
`ipaddress.IPv4Address` and `ipaddress.IPv6Address` objects when calling
`.get()`. This would fail with the C extension. The fact that these objects
worked at all was an implementation detail and has varied with different
releases. This release makes the pure Python implementation consistent
with the extension. A `TypeError` will now be thrown if you attempt to
use these types with either the pure Python implementation or the
extension. The IP address passed to `.get()` should be a string type.
* Fix issue where incorrect size was used when unpacking some types with the
pure Python reader. Reported by Lee Symes. GitHub #30.
* You may now pass in the database via a file descriptor rather than a file
name when creating a new ``maxminddb.Reader`` object using ``MODE_FD``.
This will read the database from the file descriptor into memory. Pull
request by nkinkade. GitHub #33.
