googler v2.6

Modifications

• Logging and auto-completion script changes.

googler v2.5.1

NOTICE: This is a quick release for OS X (Homebrew) as some of the performance optimizations done in v2.5 doesn't work on OS X. Users having Linux 2.4 and later don't need this.

Modifications

NOTE: The optimizations do not work on Linux 2.4 and earlier either.

googler v2.4.1

Python 2.x support will be completely removed in the next version.
