+- update to 1.9.0:
+  * Revamp for a more modern Python style in the 3.12 era:
+    + start adding type annotations to code.
+    + use pyproject.toml
+    + remove illegal escape sequences
+  * `BuildTree` now builds trees iteratively rather than
+    recursively. With this we can handle larger trees which are
+    needed in the decompilers.
+  * Revise `README.rst` for the above and go over spelling and
+    grammar
+  * Internally, more git branches have been created to support
+    older Python.
