1.8.2

1.8.2, 17 April 2019

• Removed dependency on lzma (PR #262, @tdhopper)
• Backward compatibility fixes (PR #294, @mpenkov)
• Minor fixes (PR #291, @mpenkov)
  • Fix #289: the smart_open package now correctly exposes a __version__ attribute
  • Fix #285: handled edge case in S3 URLs containing a question mark (?)
  • Fix #288: switched from logging to warnings at import time
  • Fix #47: added unit tests to cover absence of multiprocessing

This release rolls back support for transparently decompressing .xz files,
previously introduced in 1.8.1. This is a useful feature, but it requires a
tricky dependency. It's still possible to handle .xz files with relatively
little effort. Please see README.rst for details.
