Release 4.2.5¶
Fixes¶
- Change from a module-only distrbution to a package (for PEP-561)
- Make package PEP-561 compliant
- Add transition function
config_resolver.get_config
for a smoother upgrade to v5.0 in the future. - Add deprecation warnings with details on how to change the code for a smooth transition to v5.0
Release 4.2.3¶
Fixes¶
- Unit tests fixed
- Added missing LICENSE file
- Log messages will now show the complete version string
- Auto-detect version number if none is specifiec in the
[meta]
section. - Fix travis CI pipeline
Release 4.2.0¶
Features added¶
- Application & Group name is added to log records
Fixes¶
- Python 2/3 Unicode fix in log records
Release 4.1.0¶
Features added¶
XDG Basedir support
config_resolver
will now search in the folders/names defined in the `XDG specification`_.
Release 4.0.0¶
Features added¶
Config versioning support.
The config files can now have a section
meta
with the keyversion
. The version is specified in dotted-notation with a major and minor number (f.ex.:version=2.1
). Configuration instances take an optionalversion
argument as well. If specified, config_resolver expects themeta.version
to be there. It will raise aconfig_resolver.NoVersionError
otherwise. Increments in the major number signify an incompatible change. If the application expectes a different major number than stored in the config file, it will raise aconfig_resolver.IncompatibleVersion
exception. Differences in minor numbers are only logged.
Improvments¶
- The
mandatory
argument has been dropped! It is now implicitly assumed it the.get
method does not specify a default value. Even though “explicit is better than implicit”, this better reflects the behaviour of the coreConfigParser
and is more intuitive. - Legacy support of old environment variable names has been dropped!
- Python 3 support.
- When searching for a file on the current working directory, look for
./.group/app/app.ini
instead of simply./app.ini
. This solves a conflict when two modules use config_resolver in the same application. - Better logging.
Release 3.3.0¶
Features added¶
- New (optional) argument:
require_load
. If set toTrue
creating a config instance will raise an error if no appropriate config file is found. - New class:
SecuredConfig
: This class will refuse to load config files which are readable by other users than the owner.
Improvments¶
- Documentation updated/extended.
- Code cleanup.
Release 3.2.1¶
Fixes/Improvments¶
- The “group” name has been prefixed to the names of the environment variables. So, instead of APP_PATH, you can now use GROUP_APP_PATH instead. Not using the GROUP prefix will still work but emit a DeprecationWarning.
