46+ New implementation
47+ --------------------------
48+ We've been reworking everything from the early version.
49+ Now, pyhaystack is more robust and will be ready for asynchronous development.
50+
51+ This new implementation has been mostly supported by VRT _ and Servisys _. We are hoping
52+ that more people will join us in our effort to build a well working open-source software
53+ that will open the door of building data analysis to Python users.
54+
55+ Dependency
56+ --------------
57+ Pyhaystack highly depend on hszinc _ which is a special parser for zinc encoded data.
58+ Zinc was created for project-haystack _ as a CSV replacement.
59+
60+ For analysis, we also suggest using Pint _ to deal with units. It will bring a lot of possibilities
61+ to pyhaystack (ex. unit conversion)
