Changes
=========
0.2.13 (unreleased)
-------------------
- Nothing changed yet.
0.2.12 (2015-07-16)
-------------------
- Fixed a corner case where depending on the order of events when installing
multiple packages (i.e. when installing packages with dependencies, some
of which might also use d2to1) we would end up calling the incorrect
Distribution class (the patched version from setuptools, where d2to1
needs to get to the unpatched version from distutils for some cases).
- Upgraded bundled copy of the ``six`` module to the current version
(1.9.0). This fixes incompatibility between d2to1 and other packages
that import different versions of ``six`` during their setup (the older
version of ``six`` had a habit of fighting with other ``six`` instances
over ``sys.modules``, which is fixed in newer versions).
- Upgraded to latest ``ez_setup.py`` so that the most up to date version
of setuptools will be correctly bootstrapped in the rare cases that it
is needed.
- Included some miscellaneous hacks to keep d2to1 working, nominally, with
Python 2.5 despite the broad move away from Python 2.5 support in the
Python community. The d2to1 v0.2.x releases will be the last to continue
Python 2.5 support, given that testing it has become more difficult (and
the overhead is probably no longer worth it).
0.2.11 (2013-08-29)
-------------------
- Replaced ``distribute_setup.py`` with ``ez_setup.py`` in order to bootstrap
with modern setuptools when necessary.
- Fixed a couple minor Python 3-specific issues. In particular the
``data_files`` option could be passed to ``setup()`` as a ``dict_items``
object instead of a ``list`` which is what would normally be expected.
- Added a tox.ini (frankly I thought there already was one).
0.2.10 (2013-04-10)
-------------------
- Added support for the ``setup-requires-dist`` option in the ``[metadata]``
section of setup.cfg. This is analogous to the Setup-Requires-Dist metadata
field supported by PEP-426 and uses the ``setup_requires`` argument to
setuptools' ``setup()`` to implement it.
- Added support for the ``dependency_links`` and ``include_package_data``
arguments to setuptools' ``setup()`` in the ``[backwards_compat]`` section of
setup.cfg.
- When a setup_hook calls sys.exit() don't show a traceback for the
SystemExit exception.
- Fixed a bug in the exception formatting when exceptions occur in setup.cfg
handling.
0.2.9 (2013-03-05)
------------------
- Fixed a bug in the extra-files supported added in 0.2.8. Makes sure that
monkey-patches can't be installed more than once and that the log
reference is properly encapsulated.
0.2.8 (2013-03-05)
------------------
- Improved handling of packages where the packages_root option is set. That is,
the Python package is not directly in the root of the source tree, but is in
some sub-directory. Now the packages_root directory is prepended to
sys.path while processing the setup.cfg and running setup hooks.
- Added support for the Keywords metadata field via the keywords option in the
``[metadata]`` section of setup.cfg.
- Fixed a missing import that caused a misleading exception when setup.cfg is
missing.
- Upgraded the shipped distribute_setup.py to the latest for distribute 0.6.28
- Added a few basic functional tests, along with an infrastructure to add more
as needed. They can be run with nose and possibly with py.test though the
latter hasn't been tested.
- Improved hook imports to work better with namespace packages.
- Added support for the extra_files option of the ``[files]`` section in
setup.cfg. This was a feature from distutils2 that provided an alternative
to MANIFEST.in for including additional files in source distributions (it
does not yet support wildcard patterns but maybe it should?)
- Added support for the tests_require setup argument from setuptools via
the [backwards_compat] section in setup.cfg.
- Supports Python 3 natively without 2to3. This makes Python 3 testing of
d2to1 easier to support.
0.2.7 (2012-02-20)
------------------
- If no extension modules or entry points are defined in the setup.cfg, don't
clobber any extension modules/entry points that may be defined in setup.py.
0.2.6 (2012-02-17)
------------------
- Added support for setuptools entry points in an ``[entry_points]`` section of
setup.cfg--this is just for backwards-compatibility purposes, as
packaging/distutils2 does not yet have a standard replacement for the entry
points system.
- Added a [backwards_compat] section for setup.cfg for other options that are
supported by setuptools/distribute, but that aren't part of the distutils2
standard. So far the only options supported here are zip_safe and use_2to3.
(Note: packaging does support a use-2to3 option to the build command, but if
we tried to use that, distutils would not recognize it as a valid build
option.)
- Added support for the new (and presumably final) extension section format
used by packaging. In this format, extensions should be specified in config
sections of the format ``[extension: ext_mod_name]``, where any whitespace is
optional. The old format used an ``=`` instead of ``:`` and is still
supported, but should be considered deprecated.
- Added support for the new syntax used by packaging for the package_data
option (which is deprecated in packaging in favor of the resources system,
but still supported). The new syntax is like::
package_data =
packagename = pattern1 pattern2 pattern3
packagename.subpack =
pattern1
pattern2
pattern3
That is, after ``package_data =``, give the name of a package, followed by
an ``=``, followed by any number of whitespace separated wildcard patterns (or
actual filenames relative to the package). Under this scheme, whitespace is
not allowed in the patterns themselves.
0.2.5 (2011-07-21)
------------------
- Made the call to pkg_resources.get_distribution() to set __version__ more
robust, so that it doesn't fail on, for example, VersionConflict errors
0.2.4 (2011-07-05)
------------------
- Fixed some bugs with installation on Python 3
0.2.3 (2011-06-23)
------------------
- Renamed 'setup_hook' to 'setup_hooks' as is now the case in the packaging
module. Added support for multiple setup_hooks
0.2.2 (2011-06-15)
------------------
- Fixed a bug in DefaultGetDict where it didn't actually save the returned
default in the dictionary--so any command options would get lost
- Fixed a KeyError when the distribution does not have any custom commands
specified
0.2.1 (2011-06-15)
------------------
- Reimplemented command hooks without monkey-patching and more reliably in
general (though it's still a flaming hack). The previous monkey patch-based
solution would break if d2to1 were entered multiple times, which could happen
in some scenarios
0.2.0 (2011-06-14)
------------------
- Version bump to start using micro-version numbers for bug fixes only, now
that the my primary feature goals are complete
0.1.5 (2011-06-02)
------------------
- Adds support for the data_files option under [files]. Though this is
considered deprecated and may go away at some point, it can be useful in the
absence of resources support
- Adds support for command pre/post-hooks. Warning: this monkey-patches
distutils.dist.Distribution a little bit... :(
- Adds (slightly naive) support for PEP 345-style version specifiers in
requires-dist (environment markers not supported yet)
- Fixed a bug where not enough newlines were inserted between description files
0.1.4 (2011-05-24)
------------------
- Adds support for custom command classes specified in the 'commands' option
under the [global] section in setup.cfg
- Adds preliminary support for custom compilers specified in the 'compilers'
option under the [global] section in setup.cfg. This functionality doesn't
exist in distutils/setuptools/distribute, so adding support for it is a
flaming hack. It hasn't really been tested beyond seeing that the custom
compilers come up in `setup.py build_ext --help-compiler`, so any real-world
testing of this feature would be appreciated
0.1.3 (2011-04-20)
------------------
- Adds zest.releaser entry points for updating the version number in a
setup.cfg file; only useful if you use zest.releaser--otherwise harmless
(might eventually move this functionality out into a separate product)
- Though version 0.1.2 worked in Python3, use_2to3 wasn't added to the setup.py
so 2to3 had to be run manually
- Fixed a crash on projects that don't have a description-file option
0.1.2 (2011-04-13)
------------------
- Fixed the self-installation--it did not work if a d2to1 version was not
already installed, due to the use of `pkg_resources.require()`
- Adds nominal Python3 support
- Fixes the 'classifier' option in setup.cfg
0.1.1 (2011-04-12)
------------------
- Fixed an unhelpful error message when a setup_hook fails to import
- Made d2to1 able to use its own machinery to install itself
