pyqtgraph-0.9.9

  API / behavior changes:

          (previously, only packaged releases had version strings).

    - ArrowItem.setStyle now updates style options rather than replacing them

    - GLViewWidget.itemsAt() now measures y from top of widget to match mouse 
      event position.
    - Made setPen() methods consistent throughout the package

      (so you may need to adjust to lower alpha to achieve the same results)
