5. Change log
5.1. nocasedict 2.0.3
Released: 2024-05-05
Bug fixes:
Docs: Added Python 3.12 to the supported versions in the package metadata. (issue #196)
Docs: Updated the README file with the changes from the introduction section w.r.t. Python 2 and limitations. (issue #195)
5.2. nocasedict 2.0.2
Released: 2024-05-05
Incompatible changes:
Installation of this package using “setup.py” is no longer supported. Use “pip” instead.
Bug fixes:
Dev: Fixed flake8 issue about comparing types in test code.
Fixed safety issues up to 2024-05-05. No changes in package dependencies.
Test: Removed setup.py based installs from “make installtest”, since one of them started installing a pre-release of a package on an unsupported Python version. The recommendation has been for a while now to no longer use
Docs: Added RTD config file .readthedocs.yaml
Test: In the Github Actions test workflow for Python 3.6 and 3.7, changed macos-latest back to macos-12 because macos-latest got upgraded from macOS 12 to macOS 14 which no longer supports these Python versions.
Test: Fixed issues resulting from removal of support for pytest.warns(None) in pytest version 8.
Docs: Converted README file from RST to MarkDown to fix badge alignment issue (issue #172)
Dev: Added missing dependency to minimum-constraints.txt to several make targets that used it with PACKAGE_LEVEL=minimum.
Enhancements:
Test: Added support for Python 3.12. (issue #178)
Improvements for safety check tool: Made passing the safety check mandatory; Fixed safety issues; Separated the safety check into a separate make target; Added a safety policy file.
Test: Moved the Safety run to the end of the test workflow because it regularly fails due to new issues introduced by other packages, in order to surface our own issues in the test runs in any case.
Added support for a new make target ‘authors’ that generates an AUTHORS.md file from the git commit history. Added the invocation of ‘make authors’ to the description of how to release a version in the development documentation. (issue #173)
Test: Added a step to the test workflow for displaying the tree of all package dependencies using pipdeptree. (issue #175)
Dev: Optimized pip backtracking when installing devlopment packages. (issue #177)
Test: Added a new make target ‘check_reqs’ that checks missing package dependencies, and added a step to the test workflow that runs it. (issue #176)
Docs: In the Introduction section, documented the limitation that ‘d | other’ and ‘d |= other’ which were added to the standard Pyton ‘dict’ class in Python 3.9 are not yet supported by nocasedict.
Cleanup:
Dev: Removed description of stable branches in development.rst because this project maintains only the master branch. (issue #171)
Converted percent-style and format() based string formatting to f-strings. (issue #174)
Docs: In the Introduction section, removed statements about the nocasedict behavior in Python 2.
5.3. nocasedict 2.0.1
Released: 2023-05-01
Bug fixes:
Fixed coveralls issues with KeyError and HTTP 422 Unprocessable Entity.
5.4. nocasedict 2.0.0
This version also contains all changes from 1.1.1.
Released: 2023-02-26
Incompatible changes:
Removed support for Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5. The minimum required Python version is now 3.6. This was needed in order to add Python type hints (issue #123).
Bug fixes:
Enabled Github Actions for stable branches.
Addressed new issues of Pylint 2.16.
Enhancements:
Added type hints and type checking with MyPy (issue #123).
Resurrected support for byte string keys that was removed in version 1.1.0. (issue #139)
5.5. nocasedict 1.1.0
Released: 2023-01-21
Incompatible changes:
The default casefolding method on Python 3 was changed from str.lower() to str.casefold(). This changes the matching of the case-insensitive keys. This shold normally be an improvement, but in case you find that you are negatively affected by this change, you can go back to the str.lower() method by overriding the NocaseDict.__casefold__() method with a method that calls str.lower(). (issue #122)
Enhancements:
Added support for Python 3.11.
Changed the default casefolding method on Python 3 to be str.casefold() in order to improve Unicode support. On Python 2, it remains str.lower(). Added support for user-defined casefolding. (issue #122)
5.6. nocasedict 1.0.4
Released: 2022-08-04
Bug fixes:
Various bug fixes in dependencies and test environment
5.7. nocasedict 1.0.3
Released: 2022-03-27
Bug fixes:
Mitigated the coveralls HTTP status 422 by pinning coveralls-python to <3.0.0 (issue #55).
Fixed issues raised by new Pylint 2.9 and 2.10.
Fixed a dependency error that caused importlib-metadata to be installed on Python 3.8, while it is included in the Python base.
Disabled new Pylint issue ‘consider-using-f-string’, since f-strings were introduced only in Python 3.6.
Fixed install error of wrapt 1.13.0 on Python 2.7 on Windows due to lack of MS Visual C++ 9.0 on GitHub Actions, by pinning it to <1.13.
Fixed potential issue with Sphinx/docutils versions on Python 2.7.
Fixed error when installing virtualenv in install test on Python 2.7.
Fixed that the added setup.py commands (test, leaktest, installtest) were not displayed. They are now displayed at verbosity level 1 (using ‘-v’).
Enhancements:
Enhanced test matrix on GitHub Actions to always include Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 on Ubuntu and Windows, and Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 on macOS.
Support for Python 3.10: Added Python 3.10 in GitHub Actions tests, and in package metadata.
Cleanup:
Removed old tools that were needed for travis and Appveyor but no longer on GitHub Actions: remove_duplicate_setuptools.py, retry.bat
5.8. nocasedict 1.0.2
Released: 2021-01-01
Enhancements:
Migrated from Travis and Appveyor to GitHub Actions. This required changes in several areas including dependent packages used for testing and coverage. This did not cause any changes on dependent packages used for the installation of the package.
5.9. nocasedict 1.0.1
Released: 2020-10-04
Bug fixes:
Test: Fixed issue with virtualenv raising AttributeError during installtest on Python 3.4. (see issue #61)
Fixed UserWarning about unpreserved order of input items. (see issue #59)
Enhancements:
Added checking for no expected warning. Adjusted a testcase to accomodate the new check. (see issue #65)
5.10. nocasedict 1.0.0
Released: 2020-09-11
Bug fixes:
Test: Fixed that the reversed test against the built-in dict was attempted on Python 3.7, but the built-in dict became reversible only in Python 3.8. (See issue #49)
Test: Fixed issue on pypy2 (Python 2.7) where the testcases for update() passed keyword arguments that had integer-typed argument names. That is supported by CPython 2.7 when passing them as a kwargs dict, but not by pypy2. Removed these testcases, because the support for that feature in CPython 2.7 is not part of the Python language.
Docs: Fixed missing Python 2 only methods in RTD docs (See issue #52)
Pylint: Accomodated new ‘raise-missing-from’ check in Pylint 2.6.0.
