+- update to 1.7.7:
+    - Replace `assert isinstance()`, as requested in github issue #256
+    - Remove test `ping` code from `Makefile`
+    - Small code reorganization in `class CiscoConfParse()`
+    - Move non-essential packages to requirements-dev.txt (github issue #258)
+    - Edit in documentation style fixes recommended by `pydocstyle -e --convention=numpy <filename>`.
+    - Convert some of the assertions that validated `CiscoConfParse()` method
+      parameters and variables into if-statements for more idiomatic python.
+    - Convert some of the clunky-python-syntax into more idiomatic python.
+    - Rip out all `terraform` parsing attempts.
+    - Update for CVE-2022-40898 in the python `wheel <= 0.38.0` package.
+      - github issue #257 reported this issue.
+      - Modified `requirements.txt` to manually upgrade `python`'s default `wheel` version to a patched version of `wheel`.
+    - Move documentation package dependencies to `sphinx-doc/requirements.txt`
+    - Add documentation build instructions to `README.md`
