This is the last major release of the asciitable package:

The asciitable package was moved into the Astropy <http://astropy.org>_ project as astropy.io.ascii <http://astropy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/io/ascii/index.html>_. This sub-package is being actively developed and contains many new features and bug fixes. Users are encouraged to migrate to astropy.io.ascii.
