API changes from 0.1.0 to 0.2.0

pyexcel-io version 0.2.0 is not 100% backward compatible and requires version 0.2.0 of its plugins to function seamlessly. Here are the differences.

get_data returns a dictionary of two dimensional array always

Version 0.1.0 and elder, get_data returns a two dimensional array if there is only one sheet and returns a dictionary of two dimensional array otherwise. This behaviour has removed in 0.2.0

load_data is deprecated and should not be used

Version 0.1.0 and elder, load_data was used by pyexcel and maybe by others. Version 0.2.0 discourage you from using it as it will be removed at some point in the future.

auto_dectect_datetime

The datetime formats are:

1. %Y-%m-%d
2. %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
3. %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f

Any other datetime formats will be thrown as ValueError

‘library’ option is added

In order to have overlapping plugins co-exit, ‘library’ option is added to get_data and save_data.
