# API Documentation

Display drivers for LED Matrices & 7-segment displays (MAX7219) and RGB NeoPixels (WS2812 / APA102).

## Upgrading

Warning

Version 0.3.0 was released on 19 January 2017: this came with a rename of the project in github from max7219 to luma.led_matrix to reflect the changing nature of the codebase. It introduces a complete rewrite of the codebase to bring it in line with other ‘luma’ implementations.

There is no direct migration path, but the old documentation and PyPi packages will remain available indefinitely, but that deprecated codebase will no longer recieve updates or fixes.

This breaking change was necessary to be able to add different classes of devices, so that they could reuse core components.
