Changelog¶

20.4 - 2020-05-19¶

Canonicalize version before comparing specifiers. (#282)
Change type hint for canonicalize_name to return packaging.utils.NormalizedName. This enables the use of static typing tools (like mypy) to detect mixing of normalized and un-normalized names.

20.3 - 2020-03-05¶

Fix changelog for 20.2.

20.2 - 2020-03-05¶

Fix a bug that caused a 32-bit OS that runs on a 64-bit ARM CPU (e.g. ARM-v8, aarch64), to report the wrong bitness.

20.1 - 2020-01-24¶

Fix a bug caused by reuse of an exhausted iterator. (#257)

20.0 - 2020-01-06¶

Add type hints (#191)
Add proper trove classifiers for PyPy support (#198)
Scale back depending on ctypes for manylinux support detection (#171)

Expand upon the API provded by packaging.tags: interpreter_name(), mac_platforms(), compatible_tags(), cpython_tags(), generic_tags() (#187)
Officially support Python 3.8 (#232)
Add major, minor, and micro aliases to packaging.version.Version (#226)

Add the packaging.tags module. (#156)
Correctly handle two-digit versions in python_version (#119)

19.0 - 2019-01-20¶

Fix string representation of PEP 508 direct URL requirements with markers.
Better handling of file URLs

This allows for using file:///absolute/path, which was previously prevented due to the missing netloc.

This allows for all file URLs that urlunparse turns back into the original URL to be valid.

18.0 - 2018-09-26¶

Improve error messages when invalid requirements are given. (#129)

17.1 - 2017-02-28¶

Fix utils.canonicalize_version when supplying non PEP 440 versions.

Define minimal pyparsing version to 2.0.2 (#91).
Add epoch, release, pre, dev, and post attributes to Version and LegacyVersion (#34).
Add Version().is_devrelease and LegacyVersion().is_devrelease to make it easy to determine if a release is a development release.
Add utils.canonicalize_version to canonicalize version strings or Version instances (#121).

16.8 - 2016-10-29¶

Fix markers that utilize in so that they render correctly.
Fix an erroneous test on Python RC releases.

16.7 - 2016-04-23¶

Fix a bug where packaging.requirements:Requirement was overly strict when matching legacy requirements.

16.2 - 2016-02-09¶

Add a function that implements the name canonicalization from PEP 503.

16.1 - 2016-02-07¶

Implement requirement specifiers from PEP 508.

16.0 - 2016-01-19¶

Relicense so that packaging is available under either the Apache License, Version 2.0 or a 2 Clause BSD license.
Support installation of packaging when only distutils is available.
Fix == comparison when there is a prefix and a local version in play. (#41).
Implement environment markers from PEP 508.

15.3 - 2015-08-01¶

Normalize post-release spellings for rev/r prefixes. #35

15.2 - 2015-05-13¶

Fix an error where the arbitary specifier (===) was not correctly allowing pre-releases when it was being used.
Expose the specifier and version parts through properties on the Specifier classes.
Allow iterating over the SpecifierSet to get access to all of the Specifier instances.
Allow testing if a version is contained within a specifier via the in operator.

15.1 - 2015-04-13¶

Fix a logic error that was causing inconsistent answers about whether or not a pre-release was contained within a SpecifierSet or not.

15.0 - 2015-01-02¶

Add Version().is_postrelease and LegacyVersion().is_postrelease to make it easy to determine if a release is a post release.
Add Version().base_version and LegacyVersion().base_version to make it easy to get the public version without any pre or post release markers.
Support the update to PEP 440 which removed the implied !=V.* when using either >V or <V and which instead special cased the handling of pre-releases, post-releases, and local versions when using >V or <V.

14.5 - 2014-12-17¶

Normalize release candidates as rc instead of c.
Expose the VERSION_PATTERN constant, a regular expression matching a valid version.

Initial release.
