Version 4.2
------------
- Since concurrency=multiprocessing uses subprocesses, options specified
on the coverage.py command line will not be communicated down to them.
Only options in the configuration file will apply to the subprocesses.
Previously, the options didn't apply to the subprocesses, but there
was no indication. Now it is an error to use
--concurrency=multiprocessing and other run-affecting options on the
command line. This prevents failures like those reported in issue 495.
- Filtering the HTML report is now faster, thanks to Ville Skyttä.
Version 4.2b1
-------------
Work from the PyCon 2016 Sprints!
- BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY: the coverage combine command now ignores an
existing .coverage data file. It used to include that file in its
combining. This caused confusing results, and extra tox "clean" steps.
If you want the old behavior, use the new coverage combine --append
option.
- The concurrency option can now take multiple values, to support
programs using multiprocessing and another library such as eventlet.
This is only possible in the configuration file, not from the command
line. The configuration file is the only way for sub-processes to all
run with the same options.
- Using a concurrency setting of multiprocessing now implies --parallel
so that the main program is measured similarly to the sub-processes.
- When using automatic subprocess measurement, running coverage commands
would create spurious data files. This is now fixed.
- A new configuration option, report:sort, controls what column of the
text report is used to sort the rows.
- The HTML report has a more-visible indicator for which column is being
sorted.
- If the HTML report cannot find the source for a file, the message now
suggests using the -i flag to allow the report to continue.
- When reports are ignoring errors, there's now a warning if a file
cannot be parsed, rather than being silently ignored.
- A new option for coverage debug is available: coverage debug config
shows the current configuration.
- Running coverage as a module (python -m coverage) no longer shows the
program name as __main__.py.
- The test_helpers module has been moved into a separate pip-installable
package: unittest-mixins.
* Add `returns` into the proper order in FunctionDef._astroid_fields
The order is important, since it determines the last child,
which in turn determines the last line number of a scoped node.
1.0.1
-----
Make sure this works out of the box (is enabled by default) with
Flake8 3.0
1.0.0
-----
Switch dependency name to pydocstyle. pep257 was renamed to pydocstyle,
this update switches the requirement to that new package name. Since
we’re swapping out dependencies, we’ve issued a major version bump.
On most platforms (according to shellcheck), you can't pass two
arguments in a shebang. I.e. on Debian you get:
/usr/bin/env: ‘bash -e’: No such file or directory
Implement systemd's socket activation mechanism for CherryPy servers,
based on work sponsored by Endless Computers.
Socket Activation allows one to setup a system so that systemd will sit
on a port and start services 'on demand' (a little bit like inetd and
xinetd used to do).
7.0.0
-----
Removed the long-deprecated backward compatibility for
legacy config keys in the engine. Use the config for the
namespaced-plugins instead:
- autoreload_on -> autoreload.on
- autoreload_frequency -> autoreload.frequency
- autoreload_match -> autoreload.match
- reload_files -> autoreload.files
- deadlock_poll_frequency -> timeout_monitor.frequency
6.2.1
-----
Fix KeyError in Bus.publish when signal handlers set in config.
* Beautiful Soup is no longer compatible with Python 2.6. This
actually happened a few releases ago, but it's now official.
* Beautiful Soup will now work with versions of html5lib greater than
0.99999999.
* If a search against each individual value of a multi-valued
attribute fails, the search will be run one final time against the
complete attribute value considered as a single string. That is, if
a tag has class="foo bar" and neither "foo" nor "bar" matches, but
"foo bar" does, the tag is now considered a match.
This happened in previous versions, but only when the value being
searched for was a string. Now it also works when that value is
a regular expression, a list of strings, etc.
* Fixed a bug that deranged the tree when a whitespace element was
reparented into a tag that contained an identical whitespace
element.
* Added support for CSS selector values that contain quoted spaces,
such as tag[style="display: foo"].
* Corrected handling of XML processing instructions.
* Corrected an encoding error that happened when a BeautifulSoup
object was copied.
* The contents of <textarea> tags will no longer be modified when the
tree is prettified.
* When a BeautifulSoup object is pickled but its tree builder cannot
be pickled, its .builder attribute is set to None instead of being
destroyed. This avoids a performance problem once the object is
unpickled.
* Specify the file and line number when warning about a
BeautifulSoup object being instantiated without a parser being
specified.
* The `limit` argument to `select()` now works correctly, though it's
not implemented very efficiently.
* Fixed a Python 3 ByteWarning when a URL was passed in as though it
were markup. Thanks to James Salter for a patch and
test.
* We don't run the check for a filename passed in as markup if the
'filename' contains a less-than character; the less-than character
indicates it's most likely a very small document.
* Recurse into all the ancestors when checking if an object is an exception
Since we were going only into the first level, we weren't inferring
when a class used a metaclass which defined a base Exception class
for the aforementioned class.
* Added tool to automatically convert request params based on type
annotations (primarily in Python 3). For example:
@cherrypy.tools.params()
def resource(self, limit: int):
assert isinstance(limit, int)
* Do not crash when printing the help of options with default regular
expressions
* More granular versions for deprecated modules.
* Do not crash in docparams when we can't infer the exception types.
- Test functions defined using @given can now be called from other
threads
- Attempting to delete a settings property would previously have
silently done the wrong thing. Now it raises an AttributeError.
- Creating a settings object with a custom database_file parameter was
silently getting ignored and the default was being used instead. Now
it’s not.
We've had many checks disabled - these are the ones we actually lose:
L104
Docstrings must use Napoleon, not reStructuredText fields.
L205
__init__.py is not allowed to contain function or class definitions.
L206
Implicit relative imports are not allowed.
L208
Pokémon exception handling is always a mistake. If the intent is
really to catch and ignore exceptions, explicitly name which
exception types to silence.
L209
return, del, raise, assert, print (in python 2, without
print_function) yield, and yield from are statements, not functions,
and as such, do not require parentheses.
L210
Instead of intentionally relying on the side effects of map, filter,
or a comprehension, write an explicit for loop.
L211
Using map or filter with a lambda as the first argument is always
better written as list comprehension or generator expression. An
expression is more readable and extensible, and less importantly,
doesn't incur as much function call overhead.
L212
Using @staticmethod is always wrong.
L301
Files must end with a trailing newline.
L303
noqa is ignored, and as such, # noqa comments should be deleted to
reduce pointless noise.
However, most of those are also checked by pylint (and the rest I don't
really care about), and ebb-lint increases flake8's runtime a lot
(45s -> almost 2min).
- Microsoft Windows filename selector fixes, with Appveyor CI testing
- Allow multiple codes to be disabled by per-line comments
- Allow comment after each rule line
- Prevent use with flake8 v3
- Support both pep8 and pycodestyle in test suite
Closes#1632.

astroid 1.4.7
-------------
* Stop saving assignment locals in ExceptHandlers, when the context is a store.
This fixes a tripping case, where the RHS of a ExceptHandler can be redefined
by the LHS, leading to a local save. For instance, ``except KeyError, exceptions.IndexError``
could result in a local save for IndexError as KeyError, resulting in potential unexpected
inferences. Since we don't lose a lot, this syntax gets prohibited.
pylint 1.6.0
------------
* Added a new extension, `pylint.extensions.mccabe`, for warning
about complexity in code.
* Deprecate support for --optimize-ast.
* Deprecate support for the HTML output.
* Deprecate support for --output-files.
* Fixed a documentation error for the check_docs extension.
* Made the list of property-defining decorators configurable.
* Fix a bug where the top name of a qualified import was detected as unused variable.
* bad-builtin is now an extension check.
* generated-members support qualified name through regular expressions.
For instance, one can specify a regular expression as --generated-members=astroid.node_classes.*
for ignoring every no-member error that is accessed as in `astroid.node_classes.missing.object`.
* Add the ability to ignore files based on regex matching, with the new ``--ignore-patterns``
option.
This allows for multiple ignore patterns to be specified. Rather than
clobber the existing ignore option, we introduced a new one called
ignore-patterns.
* Added a new error, 'trailing-newlines', which is emitted when a file
has trailing new lines.
* Add a new option, 'redefining-builtins-modules', for controlling the modules
which can redefine builtins, such as six.moves and future.builtins.
* 'reimported' is emitted when the same name is imported from different module.
* Add a new recommendation checker, 'consider-iterating-dictionary', which is emitted
which is emitted when a dictionary is iterated through .keys().
* Use the configparser backport for Python 2
This fixes a problem we were having with comments inside values, which is fixed
in Python 3's configparser.
* A new error was added, 'invalid-length-returned', when the `__len__`
special method returned something else than a non-negative number.
* Switch to using isort internally for wrong-import-order.
* check_docs extension can find constructor parameters in __init__.
* Don't warn about invalid-sequence-index if the indexed object has unknown base
classes.
* Don't crash when checking, for super-init-not-called, a method defined in an if block.
* Do not emit import-error or no-name-in-module for fallback import blocks by default.
Until now, we warned with these errors when a fallback import block (a TryExcept block
that contained imports for Python 2 and 3) was found, but this gets cumbersome when
trying to write compatible code. As such, we don't check these blocks by default,
but the analysis can be enforced by using the new ``--analyse-fallback-block`` flag.
pylint 1.6.1
------------
* Use environment markers for supporting conditional dependencies.
On Windows when running two Hypothesis processes in parallel (e.g. using
pytest-xdist) they could race with each other and one would raise an
exception due to the non-atomic nature of file renaming on Windows and
the fact that you can't rename over an existing file. This is now fixed.
- Add support for specifying output location for html, xml, and annotate
report.
- Fix bug hiding test failure when cov-fail-under failed.
- For coverage >= 4.0, match the default behaviour of coverage report
and error if coverage fails to find the source instead of just
printing a warning.
- Fixed bug occurred when bare --cov parameter was used with xdist.
- Add support for skip_covered and added --cov-report=term-skip-covered
command line options.
- Rename pep8 to pycodestyle.
- Add support for python 3.5.
- Add flake8 pypi classifier.
- Drop python 3.3 and 3.4 support (only testing it probably works just
fine).
- Fix travis and coveralls to work properly with python 3.5.
The `taskadd` userscript adds a task based on the current title and URL.
It passes additional arguments along to `task`.
For example:
:spawn --userscript taskadd due:eod pri:H
will add a task with high priority due at the end of the day.
The description will be the current page title and it will be annotated
with the current page url.
If used with hints, the hint text is used as the description.
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to use :hint fill and maintain
the hint text, which limits the ability to provide additional args in
hint mode.
- I201 rule that allows you to configure complaining about certain
modules being imported, e.g. if you are moving from Python 2 to 3 you
could stop urlparse being imported in favour of
six.moves.urllib.parse.
* Don't flag attributes as unused if they are used as global variables in
another module.
* Don't consider "True" and "False" variable names.
* Abort with error message when invoked on .pyc files.
This means we can remove the whitelisted globals in run_vulture.py and
the associated xfailing test.
We also needed to adjust run_vulture.py slightly as the file attribute
got renamed to filename.
