Changelog for zest.releaser

3.43 (2013-02-04)

3.42 (2013-01-07)

  • When finding multiple version, changes or history files, pick the one with the shortest path. [maurits]
  • Support project-specific hooks listed in setup.cfg. [iguananaut]

3.41 (2012-11-02)

  • Getting the version from setup.py can give a traceback if the setup.py has an error. During prerelease this would result in a proposed version of ‘Traceback’. Now we print the traceback and quit. [maurits]

3.40 (2012-10-13)

  • Support svn (1.7+) checkouts that are not directly in the root. Only applies when someone checks out a whole tree and wants to release one of the items in a subdirectory. Fixes #27.

3.39 (2012-09-26)

  • Only search for files in version control. This is when finding a history file or version.txt file. We should not edit files that are not in our package. Fixes issue #22. [maurits]

3.38 (2012-09-25)

  • Fixed svn tag extraction on windows: a \r could end up at the end of every tag name. Thanks Wouter Vanden Hove for reporting it!
  • Small fixes to the developers documentation and to the automatic travis CI tests configuration.

3.37 (2012-07-14)

  • Documentation update! Started sphinx documentation at zestreleaser.readthedocs.org. Removed documentation from the README and put it into sphinx.
  • Actually ask if the user wants to continue with the release when there is no MANIFEST.in. We asked for a yes/no answer, but the question was missing. [maurits]

3.36 (2012-06-26)

  • Improved changes/history file detection and fixed the documentation at this point. We now recognize CHANGES, HISTORY and CHANGELOG with .rst, .txt, .markdown and with no extension.
  • Set up travis CI integration. Our tests pass on python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7.

3.35 (2012-06-21)

3.34 (2012-03-20)

  • In the warning about a missing MANIFEST.in file, also suggest to install setuptools_subversion/git, etc. Fixes issue #4. [maurits]

3.33 (2012-03-20)

  • Fix python 2.4 issues with tarfile by always creating a zip file. Formerly we would only do this when using python2.4 for doing the release, but a tarball sdist created by python2.6 could still break when the end user is using python 2.4. [kiorky]

3.32 (2012-03-09)

3.31 (2012-02-23)

  • Fixed test for unadvised egg_info commands on tag, which could result in a ConfigParser error. [maurits]

3.30 (2011-12-27)

  • Added some more PyPI classifiers. Tested with Python 2.4, 2,4, 2.6, and 2.7. [maurits]
  • Moved changes of 3.15 and older to docs/HISTORY.txt. [maurits]
  • Added GPL license text in the package. [maurits]
  • Updated README.txt. Added MANIFEST.in. [maurits]

3.29 (2011-12-27)

  • In postrelease create a version number like 1.0.dev0. See http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0386 [maurits]
  • Offer to cleanup setup.cfg on the tag when releasing. You do not want tag_build or tag_svn_revision options in a release usually. [maurits]
  • For convenience also print the tag checkout location when only doing a release (instead of a fullrelease). [maurits]

3.28 (2011-11-18)

  • Git: in pre/postrelease only check for uncommitted changes in files that are already tracked. [maurits]

3.27 (2011-11-12)

  • Postrelease now offers (=asks) to push your changes to the server if you’re using hg or git.
  • Support for some legacy projects, often converted from CVS, have multiple subprojects under a single trunk. The trunk part from the top level project isn’t erroneously stripped out anymore. Thanks to Marc Sibson for the fix.

3.26 (2011-11-01)

  • Added sanity check before doing a prerelease so you are warned when you are about to commit on a tag instead of a branch (or trunk or master). [maurits]

3.25 (2011-10-28)

  • Removed special handling of subversion lower than 1.7 when searching for the history/changes file. In corner cases it may be that we find a wrong HISTORY.txt or CHANGES.txt file when you have it buried deep in your directory structure. Please move it to the root then, which is the proper place for it. [maurits]
  • Fixed finding a history/changes file that is in a sub directory when using subversion 1.7 or higher or bazaar. [maurits]

3.24 (2011-10-19)

  • Note: you may need to install setuptools_subversion when you use subversion 1.7. If you suddenly start missing files in the sdists you upload to PyPI you definitely need it. Alternatively: set up a proper MANIFEST.in as that method works with any version control system. [maurits]
  • Made compatible with subversion 1.7 (the only relevant change is in the code that checks if a tags or tag directory already exists). Earlier versions of subversion are of course still supported. [maurits]
  • Code repository moved to github: https://github.com/zestsoftware/zest.releaser [maurits]

3.23 (2011-09-28)

3.22 (2011-05-05)

  • Allow specifying a tag on the command line when using lasttaglog or lasttagdiff, to show the log or diff since that tag instead of the latest. Useful when you are on a branch and the last tag was from trunk. [maurits]

3.21 (2011-04-20)

  • Added lasttaglog command that list the log since the last tag. [maurits]
  • Fix Mercurial (hg) support. As spreaded_internal should be set to False (as it happens with git) [erico_andrei]
  • Accept a twiggle (or whatever ‘~’ is called) when searching for headers in a changelog; seen in some packages (at least zopeskel.dexterity). [maurits]

3.20 (2011-01-25)

  • Also allowing CHANGES.rst and CHANGES.markdown in addition to CHANGES.txt.

3.19 (2011-01-24)

  • No longer refuse to register and upload a package on pypi if it is not there yet, forcing people to do this manually the first time. Instead, we ask the question and simply have ‘No’ as the default answer. If you specify an answer, we require exactly typing ‘yes’ or ‘no’. The idea is still to avoid making it too easy to release an internal package on pypi by accident. [maurits]

3.18 (2010-12-08)

3.17 (2010-11-17)

  • When the package that is being released neither has a setup.py nor a setup.cfg, use No as default answer for creating a checkout of the tag. [maurits]

3.16 (2010-11-15)

  • For (pypi) output, also show the first few lines instead of only the last few. [maurits]
  • See if pypirc or setup.cfg has a [zest.releaser] section with option release = yes/no. During the release stage, this influences the default answer when asked if you want to make a checkout of the tag. The default when not set, is ‘yes’. You may want to set this to ‘no’ if most of the time you only make releaser of internal packages for customers and only need the tag. [maurits]
  • Specify bazaar (bzr) tag numbers using the ‘tag’ revision specifier (like ‘tag:0.1‘) instead of only the tag number (0.1) to add compatibility with earlier bzr versions (tested with 2.0.2). [maurits]

3.15 (2010-09-10)

  • Read pypi config not only from the .pypirc file, but also from the setup.cfg file of the package. Patch by Erico Andrei. [maurits]

3.14 (2010-08-26)

  • experimental support for git svn tagging, fully test-covered [chaoflow]
  • fail if no tag was created, not test-covered [chaoflow]
  • svn available_tags method: intercept ‘Repository moved’ note in svn info and stop processing then. [maurits]

3.13 (2010-08-16)

  • Fixed check that tested whether a package was already available on pypi, as the pypi implementation changed slightly. We now just check for a 404 status. Patch by Wolfgang Schnerring. [maurits]

3.12 (2010-07-22)

  • Added extra entry point for the release step: after_checkout. When this is run, the middle entry point has been handled, the tag has been made, a checkout of that tag has been made and we are now in that checkout directory. Idea: Jan-Wijbrand Kolman. [maurits]
  • Fix: in the zest.releaser.releaser.after entry point data, pass the ‘tagdir’ value (if a checkout has been made). Patch by Wolfgang Schnerring, thanks! [maurits]
  • Fixed tests to also pass with slightly newer git. [maurits]

3.11 (2010-06-25)

  • Small tweak: allowing zc.rst2’s “rst2 html” in addition to docutils’ own “rst2html”.

3.10 (2010-06-15)

  • Fix : when running ‘release’ with python2.6 against a private egg server, the distutils ‘register’ command would run against PyPI while ‘upload’ command would run against private server. (-r option needs to be stated twice) [gotcha]

3.9 (2010-06-11)

  • Again at the end of a fullrelease report the location of the directory containing the checkout of the tag, if it has been made. [maurits]

3.8 (2010-05-28)

  • Also allowing CHANGES in addition to HISTORY.txt and CHANGES.txt as a history filename. Keeps several Django packages happy.

3.7 (2010-05-07)

3.6 (2010-04-13)

  • A version='1.0', string inside the setup() call no longer has non-pep8 spaces around the =. Fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/zest.releaser/+bug/562122 [reinout]
  • Got rid of ugly setup.py hack with UltraMagicString that was meant to avoid encoding errors when registering this package at pypi but which was not working for python2.4 (at least with collective.dist). Only ascii is allowed in the long_description if you want to avoid problems at one point or another. [maurits]

3.5 (2010-02-26)

  • Treat CHANGES.txt and HISTORY.txt the same: the first that is found in a directory is chosen for changing, instead of first looking everywhere for a HISTORY.txt and then for a CHANGES.txt. [maurits]

3.4 (2010-02-02)

  • Always build zip files if using python2.4 [do3cc]
  • bugfix: added ‘spreaded_internal’ property to BaseVersionControl objects, so filefind() does not exclude a directory just because there is no ‘.git’ folder in it. It still excludes directory where there is no ‘.svn’ folder in SVN repositories. [vincent]

3.3 (2009-12-29)

  • Fixed test failures when run on a computer with a new style pypi config. We now always use an old style config when running the tests. [maurits]
  • Fixed the release command for hg 1.1 (e.g. Ubuntu 9.04). [maurits]

3.2 (2009-12-22)

  • Replaced commands.getoutput() with a system() function grabbed from buildout on suggestion by Adam Groszer. Goal: make zest.releaser work also on windows.
  • Improved entry point documentation.
  • Added launchpad bugtracker at https://bugs.launchpad.net/zest.releaser (and pointing at that in the documentation).

3.1 (2009-11-27)

  • Added documentation for entry points. [reinout]

3.0 (2009-11-27)

  • Added support for extension by means of entry points. There is no documentation that advertises it yet as I want to treat it as experimental till I’ve used it a few times. [reinout]

2.12 (2009-11-26)

  • Fixed mercurial sdist creation. [reinout]
  • A missing history file does not result anymore in a keyerror in prerelease. [reinout]
  • Added lots of test output normalization so that errors aren’t hidden by the large number of ... in the doctests. [reinout]

2.11 (2009-11-25)

  • Added /tag besides /tags for subversion [gotcha]
  • Fixed tests failures. [gotcha]

2.10 (2009-10-22)

  • Added support for git. [reinout]
  • Lots of internal refactoring and small fixes. [reinout]
  • Started tests. zest.releaser went from 0 to 94% coverage. [reinout]

2.9.3 (2009-09-22)

  • Uploading to multiple package indexes should now work in python2.6 (though ironically it now does not work for me on python2.4, but that has nothing to do with zest.releaser.) Added documentation for this. [maurits]
  • Make sure the next version suggestion for 1.0rc6 is 1.0rc7. [maurits]
  • In subversion, first try to get the package from the setup.py before falling back to the svn info, just like for mercurial. This fixes the problem that e.g. Products.feedfeeder was not recognized as being on pypi as the svn directory name was feedfeeder. [maurits]

2.9.2 (2009-09-17)

  • Umlauts in a changelog don’t break the logger anymore when using python2.6.2 when the umlauts turn up in the diff. This is due to a 2.6.2 regression bug, see http://bugs.python.org/issue5170. Should be fixed in 2.6.3 when it comes out. [reinout]
  • (Release 2.9 and 2.9.1 are unreleased because of a setuptools bug with, sigh, non-ascii characters which made a dirty setup.py hack necessary). [reinout]

2.8 (2009-08-27)

  • Fixed the release command when used in a french environment. In French “svn info” returns ‘URL :’, not ‘URL:’. [vincentfretin]

2.7 (2009-07-08)

  • Before asking setup.py for its version or name, first run egg_info, as that may get rid of some warnings that otherwise end up in the extracted version or name, like UserWarnings. [maurits]

2.6 (2009-05-25)

  • Small change: the questions don’t print a newline anymore after the question (and before the user pressed enter). This makes it clearer if enter has been pressed yet. Suggestion by jkolman. [reinout]

2.5 (2009-05-20)

  • Revert to previous behaviour: when a package has not been released yet on pypi, decline to register it: the first time should be deliberate and manual, to avoid accidentally uploading client packages to pypi. [maurits]

2.4 (2009-05-15)

  • Factored release.py out into a new pypi.py, solving a few possible problems with missing or misconfigured .pypirc files. [maurits]

2.3 (2009-05-11)

  • Fixed release script when the .pypirc file does not contain a distutils section or that section does not contain a index-servers option. [maurits]

2.2 (2009-05-11)

2.1 (2009-04-09)

  • Fix lasttagdiff command to work with Mercurial by truncating the ‘+’ character from the revision id, since that only indicates uncommitted changes exist.
  • Make sure we find package/name/HISTORY.txt before we find docs/HISTORY.txt. [maurits]
  • Fixed checking for self.internal_filename: we would incorrectly check (‘.’, ‘s’, ‘v’, ‘n’) instead of ‘.svn’. [maurits]

2.0 (2009-04-01)

  • Added tag_url method to get lasttagdiff (and zest.stabilizer) working again. [maurits]
  • Merged kteague-multi-vcs branch with, woohoo, mercurial support! [reinout]
  • Mercurial support by Kevin Teague. [kteague]
  • postrelease put a space in the new version number in setup.py (between version number and dev). Removed this space as it is not necessary (in best case). [icemac]

1.13 (2009-03-17)

  • Also looking for CHANGES in addition to HISTORY.txt and CHANGES.txt as some packages use that convention. [reinout]
  • Added lasttagdiff command that shows the diff between the last release and the currently committed trunk. Handy for checking whether the changelog is up to date. [reinout]

1.12 (2009-03-17)

  • When doing a fullrelease and if the release step made a checkout of the tag into an temp directory, that temp directory is again printed after fullrelease finishes. Otherwise you’ve got to do a lot of scrolling. [reinout]

1.11 (2009-03-04)

  • When the found history file contains no version headings, look for a second history file: more than once I have the standard docs/HISTORY.txt that paster creates and I just add a pointer there to the real package/name/HISTORY.txt. [maurits]

1.10 (2009-02-25)

  • A `` version = ‘1.0’,`` in setup.py is now also rewritten correctly. Previously just a version = '1.0' would be injected, so without indentation and comma. [reinout]
  • Ask before checking out the tag. Sometimes the checkout is huge and you know you don’t want it. You don’t get asked for a pypi upload, though if you don’t check out the tag. [reinout]

1.9 (2009-02-24)

  • ‘release’ now also makes a tag checkout in a temporary directory. [Reinout]
  • Made ‘longtest’ work on Linux as there the command is ‘rst2html’ and apparently on the Mac it is ‘rst2html.py’. [maurits]

1.8 (2009-02-23)

  • Added ‘longtest’ command that renders a setup.py’s long description and opens it in a web browser. [reinout]

1.7 (2009-02-16)

  • Supporting alternative history version header format: ‘version - date’. [reinout]

1.6 (2009-02-14)

  • Patch by Michael Howitz: sys.executable is used instead of a string that doesn’t work on every system. [reinout]

1.5 (2009-02-11)

  • Changed y/n into Y/n, so defaulting to ‘yes’. [reinout]
  • Improved the documentation. [reinout]
  • When a yes/no question is asked, do not treat ‘no’ as the default but explicitly ask for an input – it was too easy to press enter and wrongly expect ‘yes’ as default. [maurits]

1.4 (2008-10-23)

  • Fixed missing import of utils. [maurits]

1.3 (2008-10-23)

  • Moved stabilize script to zest.stabilizer so that zest.releaser is just for releasing individual packages. Nice, tidy, reusable. [reinout]
  • Allowing ‘-v’ option on all commands: it gives you debug-level logging. [reinout]

1.2 (2008-10-16)

  • We now prefer the version from setup.py over any version.txt file found. When getting or changing the version we get/change the setup.py version when it differs from the found version.txt version. [maurits]

1.1 (2008-10-15)

  • Cleaned out zest-specific stuff. Cleaned up ‘release’. [reinout]

1.0 (2008-10-15)

  • Stabilize looks up the most recent tag of our development packages and uses gp.svndevelop to allow svn checkouts as development eggs. [reinout]
  • Do not look for version.txt in directories that are not handled by subversion. Use case: Products.feedfeeder, which has a buildout.cfg and so can have a parts directory with lots of version.txt files... [maurits]

0.9 (2008-10-02)

  • release: offer to register and upload the egg to the cheese shop. After that you still have the option to upload to our own tgz server. [maurits]
  • postrelease: for the suggestion of a new version simply try add 1 to the last character in the version; the previous logic failed for example for ‘1.0b3’. [maurits]
  • prerelease: ask user to enter next version (give him a suggestion). Handy when you want to change ‘1.0b3 dev’ into ‘1.0’. [maurits]
  • Started ‘stabilize’. [reinout]

0.8 (2008-09-26)

  • fullrelease: change back to the original directory after each pre/actual/post release step. [maurits]
  • release: switch back to original directory when ready to fix ‘commit to tag’ error. [maurits]
  • prerelease: quit when no version is found. [maurits]
  • Reverted sleeping fix from 0.7 as it did not work. [maurits]

0.7 (2008-09-26)

  • fullrelease: hopefully fix a ‘commit on tag’ bug by sleeping three seconds before doing the post release. [maurits]

0.6 (2008-09-26)

  • Added fullrelease script that does a prerelease, actual release and post release in one go. [maurits]

0.5 (2008-09-26)

  • Factored part of prerelease.check_version() out into utils.cleanup_version(). We now use that while setting the version in the history during postrelease. [maurits]
  • Add newline at the end of the generated version.txt. [maurits]

0.4 (2008-09-26)

  • Made the logging userfriendly.

0.3 (2008-09-26)

  • Postrelease: Better injection of history. Various other robustness fixes.

0.2 (2008-09-26)

  • postrelease: added suggestion for new version (a plain enter is enough to accept it). [reinout]
  • prerelease: ask before changing version + solidified regex for heading detection. [reinout]
  • prerelease: detect non-development versions better and change them. [maurits]
  • prerelease: made the commit message read: ‘Preparing release xxx’. [maurits]
  • postrelease: made the new version something like ‘1.0 dev’. [maurits]
  • postrelease: we now add some lines to the history now. [maurits]
  • prerelease: try changing the version to a non-development version, stripping off something like ‘(...)’. [maurits]
  • release: Refactored so release.py has the ‘main’ function required by setup.py. [maurits]

0.1 (2008-09-24)

  • Got a basic version of the prerelease script working (version check, history file updating, committing). [reinout]
  • Started by copying the guidelines script. [reinout]
