5.0.0

[mirceaulinic]

IMPORTANT

Starting with this release, NAPALM offers support for Python 3.8+ only.

Python 3.7 support has been dropped (since it is now end-of-life, see https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-370/), while adding support for Python 3.12.

Breaking changes for Arista EOS

Beginning with this release, NAPALM only supports Arista EOS 4.23 and later. On this occasion, the eos_fn0039_config optional argument has also been removed. This optional argument was used to transform old style configuration to the new style, available beginning with EOS release 4.23.0, as per FN 0039.
