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)

19.0 - 2019-01-20

  • Fix string representation of PEP 508 direct URL requirements with markers.

  • Better handling of file URLs

    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

  • 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

  • Allow testing if a version is contained within a specifier via the in operator.

  • 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.

  • Allow LegacyVersion and Version to be sorted together.
  • Add packaging.version.parse() to enable easily parsing a version string as either a Version or a LegacyVersion depending on it’s PEP 440 validity.

14.0 - 2014-09-05

  • Initial release.
