Changes between 6.2.0 and 6.3.0
Module changes:
- Many modules ported to use requests package for stability and security.
- Weather location lookup is fixed.
- Confusing and unnecessary commands like .op were removed.
- Splitting of options in .choice is now more intuitive.
- Some edge cases in reddit post information were fixed.
Core changes:
- A check is added to warn about an obscure environment issue that can cause strange errors.
- Regex characters in the bot's nick no longer cause issues when a rule has the nickname added.
- Rate limiting is tweaked slightly, which should reduce the severity of the .commands flood bug until a proper solution is found.

- sopel.web has been reworked as a wrapper around requests; it remains deprecated.
