History¶
v4.0.1¶
Cleaned up broken badges and release notes publishing.
v4.0.0¶
Switched to semver for versioning this backport.
Project now uses
setuptools_scm
for tagging releases.
3.8.1¶
Synced with Python 3.8.0b3.
3.7.5¶
Synced project with Python 3.7.4 (no meaningful changes).
3.7.2¶
(also released as 3.8.0)
Repackaged using setuptools_scm for file discovery and other features from skeleton. Fixes #33.
Package now unconditionally installs the
configparser
module. Doing so allowed for the project to release a universal wheel for Python 2 and Python 3. Even though theconfigparser
module is installed unconditionally on Python 3, it’s expected that it will be masked in that environment by the module in stdlib, so the same interface applies. Ref #31.
3.7.0¶
Merge functionality from Python 3.7.2. Now ConfigParser accepts bytes paths as well as any PathLike object, including those found in the pathlib2 backport <https://pypi.org/project/pathlib2/>.
Project now uses declarative config for package metadata, meaning it requires install from wheel or build using Setuptools 30.4 or later.
3.5.2¶
3.5.1¶
jaraco adopts the package.
Moved hosting to GitHub.
Issue #21: Updated
backports
namespace package to conform with other packages sharing the namespace.
3.5.0¶
a complete rewrite of the backport; now single codebase working on Python 2.6 - 3.5. To use on Python 3 import
from backports import configparser
instead of the built-in version.compatible with 3.5.1
fixes #3:
reload(sys); sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')
in setup.pyfixes #5: Installing the backport on Python 3 breaks virtualenv
fixes #6: PyPy compatibility
3.5.0b2¶
second beta of 3.5.0, not using any third-party futurization libraries
3.3.0r2¶
updated the fix for Python #16820: parsers now preserve section order when using
__setitem__
andupdate
3.3.0r1¶
compatible with 3.3.0 + fixes for Python #15803 and Python #16820
fixes #4:
read()
properly treats a bytestring argument as a filenameordereddict dependency required only for Python 2.6
unittest2 explicit dependency dropped. If you want to test the release, add
unittest2
on your own.
3.2.0r3¶
proper Python 2.6 support
explicitly stated the dependency on ordereddict
numbered all formatting braces in strings
explicitly says that Python 2.5 support won’t happen (too much work necessary without abstract base classes, string formatters, the
io
library, etc.)some healthy advertising in the README
3.2.0r2¶
a backport-specific change: for convenience and basic compatibility with the old ConfigParser, bytestrings are now accepted as section names, options and values. Those strings are still converted to Unicode for internal storage so in any case when such conversion is not possible (using the ‘ascii’ codec), UnicodeDecodeError is raised.
3.2.0r1¶
the first public release compatible with 3.2.0 + fixes for Python #11324, Python #11670, and Python #11858.
