| Changelog |
| ========= |
| |
| Versions follow `CalVer <https://calver.org>`_ with a strict backwards-compatibility policy. |
| |
| The **first number** of the version is the year. |
| The **second number** is incremented with each release, starting at 1 for each year. |
| The **third number** is when we need to start branches for older releases (only for emergencies). |
| |
| Put simply, you shouldn't ever be afraid to upgrade ``attrs`` if you're only using its public APIs. |
| Whenever there is a need to break compatibility, it is announced here in the changelog, and raises a ``DeprecationWarning`` for a year (if possible) before it's finally really broken. |
| |
| .. warning:: |
| |
| The structure of the `attrs.Attribute` class is exempt from this rule. |
| It *will* change in the future, but since it should be considered read-only, that shouldn't matter. |
| |
| However if you intend to build extensions on top of ``attrs`` you have to anticipate that. |
| |
| Changes for the upcoming release can be found in the `"changelog.d" directory <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/tree/main/changelog.d>`_ in our repository. |

| 21.4.0 (2021-12-29) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Fixed the test suite on PyPy3.8 where ``cloudpickle`` does not work. |
| `#892 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/892>`_ |
| - Fixed ``coverage report`` for projects that use ``attrs`` and don't set a ``--source``. |
| `#895 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/895>`_, |
| `#896 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/896>`_ |

| |
| 21.3.0 (2021-12-28) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - When using ``@define``, converters are now run by default when setting an attribute on an instance -- additionally to validators. |
| I.e. the new default is ``on_setattr=[attrs.setters.convert, attrs.setters.validate]``. |
| |
| This is unfortunately a breaking change, but it was an oversight, impossible to raise a ``DeprecationWarning`` about, and it's better to fix it now while the APIs are very fresh with few users. |
| `#835 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/835>`_, |
| `#886 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/886>`_ |
| - ``import attrs`` has finally landed! |
| As of this release, you can finally import ``attrs`` using its proper name. |
| |
| Not all names from the ``attr`` namespace have been transferred; most notably ``attr.s`` and ``attr.ib`` are missing. |
| See ``attrs.define`` and ``attrs.field`` if you haven't seen our next-generation APIs yet. |
| A more elaborate explanation can be found `On The Core API Names <https://www.attrs.org/en/latest/names.html>`_ |
| |
| This feature is at least for one release **provisional**. |
| We don't *plan* on changing anything, but such a big change is unlikely to go perfectly on the first strike. |
| |
| The API docs have been mostly updated, but it will be an ongoing effort to change everything to the new APIs. |
| Please note that we have **not** moved -- or even removed -- anything from ``attr``! |
| |
| Please do report any bugs or documentation inconsistencies! |
| `#887 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/887>`_ |
| |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``attr.asdict(retain_collection_types=False)`` (default) dumps collection-esque keys as tuples. |
| `#646 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/646>`_, |
| `#888 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/888>`_ |
| - ``__match_args__`` are now generated to support Python 3.10's |
| `Structural Pattern Matching <https://docs.python.org/3.10/whatsnew/3.10.html#pep-634-structural-pattern-matching>`_. |
| This can be controlled by the ``match_args`` argument to the class decorators on Python 3.10 and later. |
| On older versions, it is never added and the argument is ignored. |
| `#815 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/815>`_ |
| - If the class-level *on_setattr* is set to ``attrs.setters.validate`` (default in ``@define`` and ``@mutable``) but no field defines a validator, pretend that it's not set. |
| `#817 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/817>`_ |
| - The generated ``__repr__`` is significantly faster on Pythons with f-strings. |
| `#819 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/819>`_ |
| - Attributes transformed via ``field_transformer`` are wrapped with ``AttrsClass`` again. |
| `#824 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/824>`_ |
| - Generated source code is now cached more efficiently for identical classes. |
| `#828 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/828>`_ |
| - Added ``attrs.converters.to_bool()``. |
| `#830 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/830>`_ |
| - ``attrs.resolve_types()`` now resolves types of subclasses after the parents are resolved. |
| `#842 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/842>`_ |
| `#843 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/843>`_ |
| - Added new validators: ``lt(val)`` (< val), ``le(va)`` (≤ val), ``ge(val)`` (≥ val), ``gt(val)`` (> val), and ``maxlen(n)``. |
| `#845 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/845>`_ |
| - ``attrs`` classes are now fully compatible with `cloudpickle <https://github.com/cloudpipe/cloudpickle>`_ (no need to disable ``repr`` anymore). |
| `#857 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/857>`_ |
| - Added new context manager ``attrs.validators.disabled()`` and functions ``attrs.validators.(set|get)_disabled()``. |
| They deprecate ``attrs.(set|get)_run_validators()``. |
| All functions are interoperable and modify the same internal state. |
| They are not – and never were – thread-safe, though. |
| `#859 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/859>`_ |
| - ``attrs.validators.matches_re()`` now accepts pre-compiled regular expressions in addition to pattern strings. |
| `#877 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/877>`_ |
| |

| 21.2.0 (2021-05-07) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - We had to revert the recursive feature for ``attr.evolve()`` because it broke some use-cases -- sorry! |
| `#806 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/806>`_ |
| - Python 3.4 is now blocked using packaging metadata because ``attrs`` can't be imported on it anymore. |
| To ensure that 3.4 users can keep installing ``attrs`` easily, we will `yank <https://pypi.org/help/#yanked>`_ 21.1.0 from PyPI. |
| This has **no** consequences if you pin ``attrs`` to 21.1.0. |
| `#807 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/807>`_ |
| |
| |
| ---- |
| |
| |
| 21.1.0 (2021-05-06) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Deprecations |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - The long-awaited, much-talked-about, little-delivered ``import attrs`` is finally upon us! |
| |
| Since the NG APIs have now been proclaimed stable, the **next** release of ``attrs`` will allow you to actually ``import attrs``. |
| We're taking this opportunity to replace some defaults in our APIs that made sense in 2015, but don't in 2021. |
| |
| So please, if you have any pet peeves about defaults in ``attrs``'s APIs, *now* is the time to air your grievances in #487! |
| We're not gonna get such a chance for a second time, without breaking our backward-compatibility guarantees, or long deprecation cycles. |
| Therefore, speak now or forever hold you peace! |
| `#487 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/487>`_ |
| - The *cmp* argument to ``attr.s()`` and `attr.ib()` has been **undeprecated** |
| It will continue to be supported as syntactic sugar to set *eq* and *order* in one go. |
| |
| I'm terribly sorry for the hassle around this argument! |
| The reason we're bringing it back is it's usefulness regarding customization of equality/ordering. |
| |
| The ``cmp`` attribute and argument on ``attr.Attribute`` remains deprecated and will be removed later this year. |
| `#773 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/773>`_ |
| |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - It's now possible to customize the behavior of ``eq`` and ``order`` by passing in a callable. |
| `#435 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/435>`_, |
| `#627 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/627>`_ |
| - The instant favorite next-generation APIs are not provisional anymore! |
| |
| They are also officially supported by Mypy as of their `0.800 release <https://mypy-lang.blogspot.com/2021/01/mypy-0800-released.html>`_. |
| |
| We hope the next release will already contain an (additional) importable package called ``attrs``. |
| `#668 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/668>`_, |
| `#786 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/786>`_ |
| - If an attribute defines a converter, the type of its parameter is used as type annotation for its corresponding ``__init__`` parameter. |
| |
| If an ``attr.converters.pipe`` is used, the first one's is used. |
| `#710 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/710>`_ |
| - Fixed the creation of an extra slot for an ``attr.ib`` when the parent class already has a slot with the same name. |
| `#718 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/718>`_ |
| - ``__attrs__init__()`` will now be injected if ``init=False``, or if ``auto_detect=True`` and a user-defined ``__init__()`` exists. |
| |
| This enables users to do "pre-init" work in their ``__init__()`` (such as ``super().__init__()``). |
| |
| ``__init__()`` can then delegate constructor argument processing to ``self.__attrs_init__(*args, **kwargs)``. |
| `#731 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/731>`_ |
| - ``bool(attr.NOTHING)`` is now ``False``. |
| `#732 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/732>`_ |
| - It's now possible to use ``super()`` inside of properties of slotted classes. |
| `#747 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/747>`_ |
| - Allow for a ``__attrs_pre_init__()`` method that -- if defined -- will get called at the beginning of the ``attrs``-generated ``__init__()`` method. |
| `#750 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/750>`_ |
| - Added forgotten ``attr.Attribute.evolve()`` to type stubs. |
| `#752 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/752>`_ |
| - ``attrs.evolve()`` now works recursively with nested ``attrs`` classes. |
| `#759 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/759>`_ |
| - Python 3.10 is now officially supported. |
| `#763 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/763>`_ |
| - ``attr.resolve_types()`` now takes an optional *attrib* argument to work inside a ``field_transformer``. |
| `#774 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/774>`_ |
| - ``ClassVar``\ s are now also detected if they come from `typing-extensions <https://pypi.org/project/typing-extensions/>`_. |
| `#782 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/782>`_ |
| - To make it easier to customize attribute comparison (#435), we have added the ``attr.cmp_with()`` helper. |
| |
| See the `new docs on comparison <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/comparison.html>`_ for more details. |
| `#787 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/787>`_ |
| - Added **provisional** support for static typing in ``pyright`` via the `dataclass_transforms specification <https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/blob/main/specs/dataclass_transforms.md>`_. |
| Both the ``pyright`` specification and ``attrs`` implementation may change in future versions of both projects. |
| |
| Your constructive feedback is welcome in both `attrs#795 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/795>`_ and `pyright#1782 <https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/discussions/1782>`_. |
| `#796 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/796>`_ |

| 20.3.0 (2020-11-05) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``attr.define()``, ``attr.frozen()``, ``attr.mutable()``, and ``attr.field()`` remain **provisional**. |
| |
| This release does **not** change anything about them and they are already used widely in production though. |
| |
| If you wish to use them together with mypy, you can simply drop `this plugin <https://gist.github.com/hynek/1e3844d0c99e479e716169034b5fa963#file-attrs_ng_plugin-py>`_ into your project. |
| |
| Feel free to provide feedback to them in the linked issue #668. |
| |
| We will release the ``attrs`` namespace once we have the feeling that the APIs have properly settled. |
| `#668 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/668>`_ |
| |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``attr.s()`` now has a *field_transformer* hook that is called for all ``Attribute``\ s and returns a (modified or updated) list of ``Attribute`` instances. |
| ``attr.asdict()`` has a *value_serializer* hook that can change the way values are converted. |
| Both hooks are meant to help with data (de-)serialization workflows. |
| `#653 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/653>`_ |
| - ``kw_only=True`` now works on Python 2. |
| `#700 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/700>`_ |
| - ``raise from`` now works on frozen classes on PyPy. |
| `#703 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/703>`_, |
| `#712 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/712>`_ |
| - ``attr.asdict()`` and ``attr.astuple()`` now treat ``frozenset``\ s like ``set``\ s with regards to the *retain_collection_types* argument. |
| `#704 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/704>`_ |
| - The type stubs for ``attr.s()`` and ``attr.make_class()`` are not missing the *collect_by_mro* argument anymore. |
| `#711 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/711>`_ |

| |
| 20.2.0 (2020-09-05) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``attr.define()``, ``attr.frozen()``, ``attr.mutable()``, and ``attr.field()`` remain **provisional**. |
| |
| This release fixes a bunch of bugs and ergonomics but they remain mostly unchanged. |
| |
| If you wish to use them together with mypy, you can simply drop `this plugin <https://gist.github.com/hynek/1e3844d0c99e479e716169034b5fa963#file-attrs_ng_plugin-py>`_ into your project. |
| |
| Feel free to provide feedback to them in the linked issue #668. |
| |
| We will release the ``attrs`` namespace once we have the feeling that the APIs have properly settled. |
| `#668 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/668>`_ |
| |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``attr.define()`` et al now correct detect ``__eq__`` and ``__ne__``. |
| `#671 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/671>`_ |
| - ``attr.define()`` et al's hybrid behavior now also works correctly when arguments are passed. |
| `#675 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/675>`_ |
| - It's possible to define custom ``__setattr__`` methods on slotted classes again. |
| `#681 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/681>`_ |
| - In 20.1.0 we introduced the ``inherited`` attribute on the ``attr.Attribute`` class to differentiate attributes that have been inherited and those that have been defined directly on the class. |
| |
| It has shown to be problematic to involve that attribute when comparing instances of ``attr.Attribute`` though, because when sub-classing, attributes from base classes are suddenly not equal to themselves in a super class. |
| |
| Therefore the ``inherited`` attribute will now be ignored when hashing and comparing instances of ``attr.Attribute``. |
| `#684 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/684>`_ |
| - ``zope.interface`` is now a "soft dependency" when running the test suite; if ``zope.interface`` is not installed when running the test suite, the interface-related tests will be automatically skipped. |
| `#685 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/685>`_ |
| - The ergonomics of creating frozen classes using ``@define(frozen=True)`` and sub-classing frozen classes has been improved: |
| you don't have to set ``on_setattr=None`` anymore. |
| `#687 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/687>`_ |
| |
| |
| ---- |
| |
| |
| 20.1.0 (2020-08-20) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Python 3.4 is not supported anymore. |
| It has been unsupported by the Python core team for a while now, its PyPI downloads are negligible, and our CI provider removed it as a supported option. |
| |
| It's very unlikely that ``attrs`` will break under 3.4 anytime soon, which is why we do *not* block its installation on Python 3.4. |
| But we don't test it anymore and will block it once someone reports breakage. |
| `#608 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/608>`_ |
| |
| |
| Deprecations |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Less of a deprecation and more of a heads up: the next release of ``attrs`` will introduce an ``attrs`` namespace. |
| That means that you'll finally be able to run ``import attrs`` with new functions that aren't cute abbreviations and that will carry better defaults. |
| |
| This should not break any of your code, because project-local packages have priority before installed ones. |
| If this is a problem for you for some reason, please report it to our bug tracker and we'll figure something out. |
| |
| The old ``attr`` namespace isn't going anywhere and its defaults are not changing – this is a purely additive measure. |
| Please check out the linked issue for more details. |
| |
| These new APIs have been added *provisionally* as part of #666 so you can try them out today and provide feedback. |
| Learn more in the `API docs <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/api.html>`_. |
| `#408 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/408>`_ |
| |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Added ``attr.resolve_types()``. |
| It ensures that all forward-references and types in string form are resolved into concrete types. |
| |
| You need this only if you need concrete types at runtime. |
| That means that if you only use types for static type checking, you do **not** need this function. |
| `#288 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/288>`_, |
| `#302 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/302>`_ |
| - Added ``@attr.s(collect_by_mro=False)`` argument that if set to ``True`` fixes the collection of attributes from base classes. |
| |
| It's only necessary for certain cases of multiple-inheritance but is kept off for now for backward-compatibility reasons. |
| It will be turned on by default in the future. |
| |
| As a side-effect, ``attr.Attribute`` now *always* has an ``inherited`` attribute indicating whether an attribute on a class was directly defined or inherited. |
| `#428 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/428>`_, |
| `#635 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/635>`_ |
| - On Python 3, all generated methods now have a docstring explaining that they have been created by ``attrs``. |
| `#506 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/506>`_ |
| - It is now possible to prevent ``attrs`` from auto-generating the ``__setstate__`` and ``__getstate__`` methods that are required for pickling of slotted classes. |
| |
| Either pass ``@attr.s(getstate_setstate=False)`` or pass ``@attr.s(auto_detect=True)`` and implement them yourself: |
| if ``attrs`` finds either of the two methods directly on the decorated class, it assumes implicitly ``getstate_setstate=False`` (and implements neither). |
| |
| This option works with dict classes but should never be necessary. |
| `#512 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/512>`_, |
| `#513 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/513>`_, |
| `#642 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/642>`_ |
| - Fixed a ``ValueError: Cell is empty`` bug that could happen in some rare edge cases. |
| `#590 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/590>`_ |
| - ``attrs`` can now automatically detect your own implementations and infer ``init=False``, ``repr=False``, ``eq=False``, ``order=False``, and ``hash=False`` if you set ``@attr.s(auto_detect=True)``. |
| ``attrs`` will ignore inherited methods. |
| If the argument implies more than one method (e.g. ``eq=True`` creates both ``__eq__`` and ``__ne__``), it's enough for *one* of them to exist and ``attrs`` will create *neither*. |
| |
| This feature requires Python 3. |
| `#607 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/607>`_ |
| - Added ``attr.converters.pipe()``. |
| The feature allows combining multiple conversion callbacks into one by piping the value through all of them, and retuning the last result. |
| |
| As part of this feature, we had to relax the type information for converter callables. |
| `#618 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/618>`_ |
| - Fixed serialization behavior of non-slots classes with ``cache_hash=True``. |
| The hash cache will be cleared on operations which make "deep copies" of instances of classes with hash caching, |
| though the cache will not be cleared with shallow copies like those made by ``copy.copy()``. |
| |
| Previously, ``copy.deepcopy()`` or serialization and deserialization with ``pickle`` would result in an un-initialized object. |
| |
| This change also allows the creation of ``cache_hash=True`` classes with a custom ``__setstate__``, |
| which was previously forbidden (`#494 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/494>`_). |
| `#620 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/620>`_ |
| - It is now possible to specify hooks that are called whenever an attribute is set **after** a class has been instantiated. |
| |
| You can pass ``on_setattr`` both to ``@attr.s()`` to set the default for all attributes on a class, and to ``@attr.ib()`` to overwrite it for individual attributes. |
| |
| ``attrs`` also comes with a new module ``attr.setters`` that brings helpers that run validators, converters, or allow to freeze a subset of attributes. |
| `#645 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/645>`_, |
| `#660 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/660>`_ |
| - **Provisional** APIs called ``attr.define()``, ``attr.mutable()``, and ``attr.frozen()`` have been added. |
| |
| They are only available on Python 3.6 and later, and call ``attr.s()`` with different default values. |
| |
| If nothing comes up, they will become the official way for creating classes in 20.2.0 (see above). |
| |
| **Please note** that it may take some time until mypy – and other tools that have dedicated support for ``attrs`` – recognize these new APIs. |
| Please **do not** open issues on our bug tracker, there is nothing we can do about it. |
| `#666 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/666>`_ |
| - We have also provisionally added ``attr.field()`` that supplants ``attr.ib()``. |
| It also requires at least Python 3.6 and is keyword-only. |
| Other than that, it only dropped a few arguments, but changed no defaults. |
| |
| As with ``attr.s()``: ``attr.ib()`` is not going anywhere. |
| `#669 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/669>`_ |

| 19.3.0 (2019-10-15) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Fixed ``auto_attribs`` usage when default values cannot be compared directly with ``==``, such as ``numpy`` arrays. |

| |
| 19.2.0 (2019-10-01) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Removed deprecated ``Attribute`` attribute ``convert`` per scheduled removal on 2019/1. |
| This planned deprecation is tracked in issue `#307 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/307>`_. |
| `#504 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/504>`_ |
| - ``__lt__``, ``__le__``, ``__gt__``, and ``__ge__`` do not consider subclasses comparable anymore. |
| |
| This has been deprecated since 18.2.0 and was raising a ``DeprecationWarning`` for over a year. |
| `#570 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/570>`_ |

| |
| Deprecations |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - The ``cmp`` argument to ``attr.s()`` and ``attr.ib()`` is now deprecated. |
| |
| Please use ``eq`` to add equality methods (``__eq__`` and ``__ne__``) and ``order`` to add ordering methods (``__lt__``, ``__le__``, ``__gt__``, and ``__ge__``) instead – just like with `dataclasses <https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html>`_. |
| |
| Both are effectively ``True`` by default but it's enough to set ``eq=False`` to disable both at once. |
| Passing ``eq=False, order=True`` explicitly will raise a ``ValueError`` though. |
| |
| Since this is arguably a deeper backward-compatibility break, it will have an extended deprecation period until 2021-06-01. |
| After that day, the ``cmp`` argument will be removed. |
| |
| ``attr.Attribute`` also isn't orderable anymore. |

| |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Updated ``attr.validators.__all__`` to include new validators added in `#425`_. |
| `#517 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/517>`_ |
| - Slotted classes now use a pure Python mechanism to rewrite the ``__class__`` cell when rebuilding the class, so ``super()`` works even on environments where ``ctypes`` is not installed. |
| `#522 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/522>`_ |
| - When collecting attributes using ``@attr.s(auto_attribs=True)``, attributes with a default of ``None`` are now deleted too. |
| `#523 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/523>`_, |
| `#556 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/556>`_ |
| - Fixed ``attr.validators.deep_iterable()`` and ``attr.validators.deep_mapping()`` type stubs. |
| `#533 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/533>`_ |
| - ``attr.validators.is_callable()`` validator now raises an exception ``attr.exceptions.NotCallableError``, a subclass of ``TypeError``, informing the received value. |
| `#536 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/536>`_ |
| - ``@attr.s(auto_exc=True)`` now generates classes that are hashable by ID, as the documentation always claimed it would. |
| `#543 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/543>`_, |
| `#563 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/563>`_ |
| - Added ``attr.validators.matches_re()`` that checks string attributes whether they match a regular expression. |
| `#552 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/552>`_ |
| - Keyword-only attributes (``kw_only=True``) and attributes that are excluded from the ``attrs``'s ``__init__`` (``init=False``) now can appear before mandatory attributes. |
| `#559 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/559>`_ |
| - The fake filename for generated methods is now more stable. |
| It won't change when you restart the process. |
| `#560 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/560>`_ |
| - The value passed to ``@attr.ib(repr=…)`` can now be either a boolean (as before) or a callable. |
| That callable must return a string and is then used for formatting the attribute by the generated ``__repr__()`` method. |
| `#568 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/568>`_ |
| - Added ``attr.__version_info__`` that can be used to reliably check the version of ``attrs`` and write forward- and backward-compatible code. |
| Please check out the `section on deprecated APIs <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/api.html#deprecated-apis>`_ on how to use it. |

| 19.1.0 (2019-03-03) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Fixed a bug where deserialized objects with ``cache_hash=True`` could have incorrect hash code values. |
| This change breaks classes with ``cache_hash=True`` when a custom ``__setstate__`` is present. |
| An exception will be thrown when applying the ``attrs`` annotation to such a class. |
| This limitation is tracked in issue `#494 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/494>`_. |
| `#482 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/482>`_ |
| |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Add ``is_callable``, ``deep_iterable``, and ``deep_mapping`` validators. |
| |
| * ``is_callable``: validates that a value is callable |
| * ``deep_iterable``: Allows recursion down into an iterable, |
| applying another validator to every member in the iterable |
| as well as applying an optional validator to the iterable itself. |
| * ``deep_mapping``: Allows recursion down into the items in a mapping object, |
| applying a key validator and a value validator to the key and value in every item. |
| Also applies an optional validator to the mapping object itself. |
| |
| You can find them in the ``attr.validators`` package. |
| `#425`_ |
| - Fixed stub files to prevent errors raised by mypy's ``disallow_any_generics = True`` option. |
| `#443 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/443>`_ |
| - Attributes with ``init=False`` now can follow after ``kw_only=True`` attributes. |
| `#450 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/450>`_ |
| - ``attrs`` now has first class support for defining exception classes. |
| |
| If you define a class using ``@attr.s(auto_exc=True)`` and subclass an exception, the class will behave like a well-behaved exception class including an appropriate ``__str__`` method, and all attributes additionally available in an ``args`` attribute. |
| `#500 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/500>`_ |
| - Clarified documentation for hashing to warn that hashable objects should be deeply immutable (in their usage, even if this is not enforced). |
| `#503 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/503>`_ |

| 18.2.0 (2018-09-01) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Deprecations |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Comparing subclasses using ``<``, ``>``, ``<=``, and ``>=`` is now deprecated. |
| The docs always claimed that instances are only compared if the types are identical, so this is a first step to conform to the docs. |
| |
| Equality operators (``==`` and ``!=``) were always strict in this regard. |
| `#394 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/394>`_ |
| |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``attrs`` now ships its own `PEP 484 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/>`_ type hints. |
| Together with `mypy <http://mypy-lang.org>`_'s ``attrs`` plugin, you've got all you need for writing statically typed code in both Python 2 and 3! |
| |
| At that occasion, we've also added `narrative docs <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/types.html>`_ about type annotations in ``attrs``. |
| `#238 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/238>`_ |
| - Added *kw_only* arguments to ``attr.ib`` and ``attr.s``, and a corresponding *kw_only* attribute to ``attr.Attribute``. |
| This change makes it possible to have a generated ``__init__`` with keyword-only arguments on Python 3, relaxing the required ordering of default and non-default valued attributes. |
| `#281 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/281>`_, |
| `#411 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/411>`_ |
| - The test suite now runs with ``hypothesis.HealthCheck.too_slow`` disabled to prevent CI breakage on slower computers. |
| `#364 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/364>`_, |
| `#396 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/396>`_ |
| - ``attr.validators.in_()`` now raises a ``ValueError`` with a useful message even if the options are a string and the value is not a string. |
| `#383 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/383>`_ |
| - ``attr.asdict()`` now properly handles deeply nested lists and dictionaries. |
| `#395 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/395>`_ |
| - Added ``attr.converters.default_if_none()`` that allows to replace ``None`` values in attributes. |
| For example ``attr.ib(converter=default_if_none(""))`` replaces ``None`` by empty strings. |
| `#400 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/400>`_, |
| `#414 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/414>`_ |
| - Fixed a reference leak where the original class would remain live after being replaced when ``slots=True`` is set. |
| `#407 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/407>`_ |
| - Slotted classes can now be made weakly referenceable by passing ``@attr.s(weakref_slot=True)``. |
| `#420 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/420>`_ |
| - Added *cache_hash* option to ``@attr.s`` which causes the hash code to be computed once and stored on the object. |
| `#426 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/426>`_ |
| - Attributes can be named ``property`` and ``itemgetter`` now. |
| `#430 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/430>`_ |
| - It is now possible to override a base class' class variable using only class annotations. |
| `#431 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/431>`_ |

| |
| |
| 18.1.0 (2018-05-03) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``x=X(); x.cycle = x; repr(x)`` will no longer raise a ``RecursionError``, and will instead show as ``X(x=...)``. |
| |
| `#95 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/95>`_ |
| - ``attr.ib(factory=f)`` is now syntactic sugar for the common case of ``attr.ib(default=attr.Factory(f))``. |
| |
| `#178 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/178>`_, |
| `#356 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/356>`_ |
| - Added ``attr.field_dict()`` to return an ordered dictionary of ``attrs`` attributes for a class, whose keys are the attribute names. |
| |
| `#290 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/290>`_, |
| `#349 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/349>`_ |
| - The order of attributes that are passed into ``attr.make_class()`` or the *these* argument of ``@attr.s()`` is now retained if the dictionary is ordered (i.e. ``dict`` on Python 3.6 and later, ``collections.OrderedDict`` otherwise). |
| |
| Before, the order was always determined by the order in which the attributes have been defined which may not be desirable when creating classes programmatically. |
| |
| `#300 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/300>`_, |
| `#339 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/339>`_, |
| `#343 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/343>`_ |
| - In slotted classes, ``__getstate__`` and ``__setstate__`` now ignore the ``__weakref__`` attribute. |
| |
| `#311 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/311>`_, |
| `#326 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/326>`_ |
| - Setting the cell type is now completely best effort. |
| This fixes ``attrs`` on Jython. |
| |
| We cannot make any guarantees regarding Jython though, because our test suite cannot run due to dependency incompatibilities. |
| |
| `#321 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/321>`_, |
| `#334 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/334>`_ |
| - If ``attr.s`` is passed a *these* argument, it will no longer attempt to remove attributes with the same name from the class body. |
| |
| `#322 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/322>`_, |
| `#323 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/323>`_ |
| - The hash of ``attr.NOTHING`` is now vegan and faster on 32bit Python builds. |
| |
| `#331 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/331>`_, |
| `#332 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/332>`_ |
| - The overhead of instantiating frozen dict classes is virtually eliminated. |
| `#336 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/336>`_ |
| - Generated ``__init__`` methods now have an ``__annotations__`` attribute derived from the types of the fields. |
| |
| `#363 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/363>`_ |
| - We have restructured the documentation a bit to account for ``attrs``' growth in scope. |
| Instead of putting everything into the `examples <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/examples.html>`_ page, we have started to extract narrative chapters. |
| |
| So far, we've added chapters on `initialization <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/init.html>`_ and `hashing <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/hashing.html>`_. |

| 17.4.0 (2017-12-30) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - The traversal of MROs when using multiple inheritance was backward: |
| If you defined a class ``C`` that subclasses ``A`` and ``B`` like ``C(A, B)``, ``attrs`` would have collected the attributes from ``B`` *before* those of ``A``. |
| |
| This is now fixed and means that in classes that employ multiple inheritance, the output of ``__repr__`` and the order of positional arguments in ``__init__`` changes. |
| Because of the nature of this bug, a proper deprecation cycle was unfortunately impossible. |
| |
| Generally speaking, it's advisable to prefer ``kwargs``-based initialization anyways – *especially* if you employ multiple inheritance and diamond-shaped hierarchies. |
| |
| `#298 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/298>`_, |
| `#299 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/299>`_, |
| `#304 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/304>`_ |
| - The ``__repr__`` set by ``attrs`` no longer produces an ``AttributeError`` when the instance is missing some of the specified attributes (either through deleting or after using ``init=False`` on some attributes). |
| |
| This can break code that relied on ``repr(attr_cls_instance)`` raising ``AttributeError`` to check if any ``attrs``-specified members were unset. |
| |
| If you were using this, you can implement a custom method for checking this:: |
| |
| def has_unset_members(self): |
| for field in attr.fields(type(self)): |
| try: |
| getattr(self, field.name) |
| except AttributeError: |
| return True |
| return False |
| |
| `#308 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/308>`_ |
| |
| |
| Deprecations |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - The ``attr.ib(convert=callable)`` option is now deprecated in favor of ``attr.ib(converter=callable)``. |
| |
| This is done to achieve consistency with other noun-based arguments like *validator*. |
| |
| *convert* will keep working until at least January 2019 while raising a ``DeprecationWarning``. |
| |
| `#307 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/307>`_ |
| |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Generated ``__hash__`` methods now hash the class type along with the attribute values. |
| Until now the hashes of two classes with the same values were identical which was a bug. |
| |
| The generated method is also *much* faster now. |
| |
| `#261 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/261>`_, |
| `#295 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/295>`_, |
| `#296 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/296>`_ |
| - ``attr.ib``\ ’s *metadata* argument now defaults to a unique empty ``dict`` instance instead of sharing a common empty ``dict`` for all. |
| The singleton empty ``dict`` is still enforced. |
| |
| `#280 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/280>`_ |
| - ``ctypes`` is optional now however if it's missing, a bare ``super()`` will not work in slotted classes. |
| This should only happen in special environments like Google App Engine. |
| |
| `#284 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/284>`_, |
| `#286 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/286>`_ |
| - The attribute redefinition feature introduced in 17.3.0 now takes into account if an attribute is redefined via multiple inheritance. |
| In that case, the definition that is closer to the base of the class hierarchy wins. |
| |
| `#285 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/285>`_, |
| `#287 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/287>`_ |
| - Subclasses of ``auto_attribs=True`` can be empty now. |
| |
| `#291 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/291>`_, |
| `#292 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/292>`_ |
| - Equality tests are *much* faster now. |
| |
| `#306 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/306>`_ |
| - All generated methods now have correct ``__module__``, ``__name__``, and (on Python 3) ``__qualname__`` attributes. |

| 17.3.0 (2017-11-08) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Attributes are no longer defined on the class body. |
| |
| This means that if you define a class ``C`` with an attribute ``x``, the class will *not* have an attribute ``x`` for introspection. |
| Instead of ``C.x``, use ``attr.fields(C).x`` or look at ``C.__attrs_attrs__``. |
| The old behavior has been deprecated since version 16.1. |
| (`#253 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/253>`_) |
| |
| |
| Changes |
| ^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``super()`` and ``__class__`` now work with slotted classes on Python 3. |
| (`#102 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/102>`_, `#226 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/226>`_, `#269 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/269>`_, `#270 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/270>`_, `#272 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/272>`_) |
| - Added *type* argument to ``attr.ib()`` and corresponding ``type`` attribute to ``attr.Attribute``. |
| |
| This change paves the way for automatic type checking and serialization (though as of this release ``attrs`` does not make use of it). |
| In Python 3.6 or higher, the value of ``attr.Attribute.type`` can alternately be set using variable type annotations |
| (see `PEP 526 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0526/>`_). |
| (`#151 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/151>`_, `#214 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/214>`_, `#215 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/215>`_, `#239 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/239>`_) |
| - The combination of ``str=True`` and ``slots=True`` now works on Python 2. |
| (`#198 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/198>`_) |
| - ``attr.Factory`` is hashable again. |
| (`#204 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/204>`_) |
| - Subclasses now can overwrite attribute definitions of their base classes. |
| |
| That means that you can -- for example -- change the default value for an attribute by redefining it. |
| (`#221 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/221>`_, `#229 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/229>`_) |
| - Added new option *auto_attribs* to ``@attr.s`` that allows to collect annotated fields without setting them to ``attr.ib()``. |
| |
| Setting a field to an ``attr.ib()`` is still possible to supply options like validators. |
| Setting it to any other value is treated like it was passed as ``attr.ib(default=value)`` -- passing an instance of ``attr.Factory`` also works as expected. |
| (`#262 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/262>`_, `#277 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/277>`_) |
| - Instances of classes created using ``attr.make_class()`` can now be pickled. |

| |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes: |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``attrs`` will set the ``__hash__()`` method to ``None`` by default now. |
| The way hashes were handled before was in conflict with `Python's specification <https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__hash__>`_. |
| This *may* break some software although this breakage is most likely just surfacing of latent bugs. |
| You can always make ``attrs`` create the ``__hash__()`` method using ``@attr.s(hash=True)``. |
| See `#136`_ for the rationale of this change. |
| |
| .. warning:: |
| |
| Please *do not* upgrade blindly and *do* test your software! |
| *Especially* if you use instances as dict keys or put them into sets! |
| |
| - Correspondingly, ``attr.ib``'s *hash* argument is ``None`` by default too and mirrors the *cmp* argument as it should. |
| |
| |
| Deprecations: |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``attr.assoc()`` is now deprecated in favor of ``attr.evolve()`` and will stop working in 2018. |
| |
| |
| Changes: |
| ^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Fix default hashing behavior. |
| Now *hash* mirrors the value of *cmp* and classes are unhashable by default. |
| `#136`_ |
| `#142 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/142>`_ |
| - Added ``attr.evolve()`` that, given an instance of an ``attrs`` class and field changes as keyword arguments, will instantiate a copy of the given instance with the changes applied. |
| ``evolve()`` replaces ``assoc()``, which is now deprecated. |
| ``evolve()`` is significantly faster than ``assoc()``, and requires the class have an initializer that can take the field values as keyword arguments (like ``attrs`` itself can generate). |
| `#116 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/116>`_ |
| `#124 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/124>`_ |
| `#135 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/135>`_ |
| - ``FrozenInstanceError`` is now raised when trying to delete an attribute from a frozen class. |
| `#118 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/118>`_ |
| - Frozen-ness of classes is now inherited. |
| `#128 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/128>`_ |
| - ``__attrs_post_init__()`` is now run if validation is disabled. |
| `#130 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/130>`_ |
| - Added ``attr.validators.in_(options)`` that, given the allowed ``options``, checks whether the attribute value is in it. |
| This can be used to check constants, enums, mappings, etc. |
| `#181 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/181>`_ |
| - Added ``attr.validators.and_()`` that composes multiple validators into one. |
| `#161 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/161>`_ |
| - For convenience, the *validator* argument of ``@attr.s`` now can take a list of validators that are wrapped using ``and_()``. |
| `#138 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/138>`_ |
| - Accordingly, ``attr.validators.optional()`` now can take a list of validators too. |
| `#161 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/161>`_ |
| - Validators can now be defined conveniently inline by using the attribute as a decorator. |
| Check out the `validator examples <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/init.html#decorator>`_ to see it in action! |
| `#143 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/143>`_ |
| - ``attr.Factory()`` now has a *takes_self* argument that makes the initializer to pass the partially initialized instance into the factory. |
| In other words you can define attribute defaults based on other attributes. |
| `#165`_ |

| 16.3.0 (2016-11-24) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Changes: |
| ^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Attributes now can have user-defined metadata which greatly improves ``attrs``'s extensibility. |
| `#96 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/96>`_ |
| - Allow for a ``__attrs_post_init__()`` method that -- if defined -- will get called at the end of the ``attrs``-generated ``__init__()`` method. |
| `#111 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/111>`_ |
| - Added ``@attr.s(str=True)`` that will optionally create a ``__str__()`` method that is identical to ``__repr__()``. |
| This is mainly useful with ``Exception``\ s and other classes that rely on a useful ``__str__()`` implementation but overwrite the default one through a poor own one. |
| Default Python class behavior is to use ``__repr__()`` as ``__str__()`` anyways. |
| |
| If you tried using ``attrs`` with ``Exception``\ s and were puzzled by the tracebacks: this option is for you. |
| - ``__name__`` is no longer overwritten with ``__qualname__`` for ``attr.s(slots=True)`` classes. |
| `#99 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/99>`_ |

| |
| 16.2.0 (2016-09-17) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Changes: |
| ^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Added ``attr.astuple()`` that -- similarly to ``attr.asdict()`` -- returns the instance as a tuple. |
| `#77 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/77>`_ |
| - Converters now work with frozen classes. |
| `#76 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/76>`_ |
| - Instantiation of ``attrs`` classes with converters is now significantly faster. |
| `#80 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/80>`_ |
| - Pickling now works with slotted classes. |
| `#81 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/81>`_ |
| - ``attr.assoc()`` now works with slotted classes. |
| `#84 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/84>`_ |
| - The tuple returned by ``attr.fields()`` now also allows to access the ``Attribute`` instances by name. |
| Yes, we've subclassed ``tuple`` so you don't have to! |
| Therefore ``attr.fields(C).x`` is equivalent to the deprecated ``C.x`` and works with slotted classes. |
| `#88 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/88>`_ |

| |
| 16.1.0 (2016-08-30) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes: |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - All instances where function arguments were called ``cl`` have been changed to the more Pythonic ``cls``. |
| Since it was always the first argument, it's doubtful anyone ever called those function with in the keyword form. |
| If so, sorry for any breakage but there's no practical deprecation path to solve this ugly wart. |
| |
| |
| Deprecations: |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Accessing ``Attribute`` instances on class objects is now deprecated and will stop working in 2017. |
| If you need introspection please use the ``__attrs_attrs__`` attribute or the ``attr.fields()`` function that carry them too. |
| In the future, the attributes that are defined on the class body and are usually overwritten in your ``__init__`` method are simply removed after ``@attr.s`` has been applied. |
| |
| This will remove the confusing error message if you write your own ``__init__`` and forget to initialize some attribute. |
| Instead you will get a straightforward ``AttributeError``. |
| In other words: decorated classes will work more like plain Python classes which was always ``attrs``'s goal. |
| - The serious business aliases ``attr.attributes`` and ``attr.attr`` have been deprecated in favor of ``attr.attrs`` and ``attr.attrib`` which are much more consistent and frankly obvious in hindsight. |
| They will be purged from documentation immediately but there are no plans to actually remove them. |
| |
| |
| Changes: |
| ^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``attr.asdict()``\ 's ``dict_factory`` arguments is now propagated on recursion. |
| `#45 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/45>`_ |
| - ``attr.asdict()``, ``attr.has()`` and ``attr.fields()`` are significantly faster. |
| `#48 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/48>`_ |
| `#51 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/51>`_ |
| - Add ``attr.attrs`` and ``attr.attrib`` as a more consistent aliases for ``attr.s`` and ``attr.ib``. |
| - Add *frozen* option to ``attr.s`` that will make instances best-effort immutable. |
| `#60 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/60>`_ |
| - ``attr.asdict()`` now takes ``retain_collection_types`` as an argument. |
| If ``True``, it does not convert attributes of type ``tuple`` or ``set`` to ``list``. |
| `#69 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/69>`_ |

| 16.0.0 (2016-05-23) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward-incompatible Changes: |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Python 3.3 and 2.6 are no longer supported. |
| They may work by chance but any effort to keep them working has ceased. |
| |
| The last Python 2.6 release was on October 29, 2013 and is no longer supported by the CPython core team. |
| Major Python packages like Django and Twisted dropped Python 2.6 a while ago already. |
| |
| Python 3.3 never had a significant user base and wasn't part of any distribution's LTS release. |
| |
| Changes: |
| ^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - ``__slots__`` have arrived! |
| Classes now can automatically be `slotted <https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#slots>`_-style (and save your precious memory) just by passing ``slots=True``. |
| `#35 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/35>`_ |
| - Allow the case of initializing attributes that are set to ``init=False``. |
| This allows for clean initializer parameter lists while being able to initialize attributes to default values. |
| `#32 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/32>`_ |
| - ``attr.asdict()`` can now produce arbitrary mappings instead of Python ``dict``\ s when provided with a ``dict_factory`` argument. |
| `#40 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/40>`_ |
| - Multiple performance improvements. |
| |

| |
| 15.2.0 (2015-12-08) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Changes: |
| ^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Added a ``convert`` argument to ``attr.ib``, which allows specifying a function to run on arguments. |
| This allows for simple type conversions, e.g. with ``attr.ib(convert=int)``. |
| `#26 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/26>`_ |
| - Speed up object creation when attribute validators are used. |
| `#28 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/28>`_ |
| |

| |
| |
| 15.1.0 (2015-08-20) |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Changes: |
| ^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - Added ``attr.validators.optional()`` that wraps other validators allowing attributes to be ``None``. |
| `#16 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/16>`_ |
| - Multi-level inheritance now works. |
| `#24 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/24>`_ |
| - ``__repr__()`` now works with non-redecorated subclasses. |
| `#20 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/20>`_ |
