Hi all,

a new stable release Pywikibot 7.3 has been deployed yesterday. What is new with it?

- kcg-wiki is supported
- pagegenerators.GeneratorFactory provides an is_preloading attribute if pages are preloades. Refer [1] how to use it.
- counter statistics are printed for all counters (T307834) [2]
- Prioritize -namespaces options in pagegenerators.handle_args (T222519) [3]. It is recommended to use pg.handle_args instead of pg.handle_arg. Probably the latter will be dropped.
- A tiny cache wrapper was added to hold results of parameterless methods and properties [4]
- Short creation of a site like pywikibot('commons') or pywikibot('meta') [5]
- pywikibot.exception() prints the traceback by default (T306762) [6]
