Changelog
=========

5.0 (2025-07-15)
----------------

- Re-releasing as final.


5.0b2 (2025-07-10)
------------------

- Fixed a bug that failed to find license-expression fields.


5.0b1 (2025-07-04)
------------------

- Changed the internal metadata names to match Core Metadata. This brings
  less confusion, especially since setuptools and PyPI aren't exactly the
  same either, so let's pick the offical standard and run with it.

- Added a rating for if the wheel fails to build. Unfortunately it's
  impossible to get a proper error out of it, so the message tells
  you to run python -m build.


5.0a1 (2025-07-02)
------------------

- Removed support for fetching data via monkey-patching setup.py.

- Added a warning if you have only a setup.cfg, something that is
  working with some tools, but is not officially supported.

- Some general cleanups and simplifications thanks to those changes.


4.3.3 (2025-07-03)
------------------

- Licensing specifications are less flexible than I thought.
  Updated to reflect that.


4.3.2 (2025-07-02)
------------------

- Added support for License-Expression as per PEP 639.


4.3.1 (2025-07-01)
------------------

- Deprecation warnings? For the packaging configuration? What was I thinking?
  I'm instead adding a rating telling people that they should add a
  pyproject.toml. Much nicer.


4.3 (2025-07-01)
----------------

- Added a --skip-tests parameter to allow skipping of certain tests.
  You shouldn't skip tests, of course, but now you can. This is actually
  only implemented so that I can add a test using check-manifest and
  skip it when run from the zest.releaser hook.

- If you also have check-manifest installed, pyroma will run that as a test.
  No longer do you need to call it separately! However, if Pyroma is invoked
  from zest.releaser, it will not be run, because check-manifest has a separate
  hook for zest.releaser, so that would run it twice.

- Allow private classifiers [hugovk]

- Using tox to run tests [hugovk]

- Deperating the support for setup.py


4.2 (2023-02-25)
----------------

- Fall back to installing project's build backend in an isolated environment
  if a compatible version isn't installed in the current env [CAM-Gerlach]

- Fix metadata extraction failure when project ``long_description`` is included
  as a header rather than a payload in the ``METADTA`` file [CAM-Gerlach]

- Add a fallback to restore compatibility with Setuptools <61 [CAM-Gerlach]

- Fix tests failing due to invalid versions on Setuptools >=66 [CAM-Gerlach]

- Add ``python_requires``, update classifiers, add implicit dependencies
  and remove unused deps in Pyroma's own packaging metadata [CAM-Gerlach]


4.1 (2022-11-24)
----------------

- Moved from a custom trove classifiers list to using the trove-classifiers
  package [hugovk]

- Support checking the Requires-Python metadata [davidandreoletti]

- Silence noisy build backend output when building metadata
  [CAM-Gerlach, wesleybl]

- Official support for Python 3.11 [hugovk, radarhere]

- Some string formatting bugs [hugovk, CAM-Gerlach]

- Now follows black and flake8 rules

- Check if author_email field contains author name [bessman]


4.0 (2022-04-14)
----------------

- No changes from 4.0b2.


4.0b2 (2022-03-29)
------------------

- The deprecation test for test_suite is no longer needed, as the patched
  setuptools method of gathering metadata as a whole is deprecated.

- `description_content_type` also needs a mapping in the metadata map.


4.0b1 (2022-03-28)
------------------

- Added support for PEP517 by using `build` to build the metadata as a
  preferred build method over the old patched setuptools method.
  The old way is depracated and will be removed in 5.0, which also is
  planned to support PEP621.
  Thanks to Christopher A.M. Gerlach for valuable insight into the
  modern packaging systems.


3.3 (2022-03-28)
----------------

- Add a deprecation for `test_suite`


3.2.1 (2022-03-27)
------------------

- Fixed __getattr__-related crash in tests with python3.7 [Robert T. McGibbon]


3.2 (2021-06-22)
----------------

- Added support for pre-commit [CAM Gerlach]

- Rewrote parts of the PyPI support, to avoid using the xmlrpc API,
  since it's being heavily rate-limited at the moment. Only one call
  is using it now, which seems to work fine.

- Backwards incompatible change: As a result of the above change, when
  looking for packages on PyPI, the package name must now be spelled
  exactly correct, including capitalization.

- Some more code cleanup/modernization [CAM Gerlach]

- Added --quiet option to output only the rating [Hugo van Kemenade]

- Pyroma is now an executable module, and can be called with `python -m pyroma` [RuRo]


3.1 (2021-03-06)
----------------

- Added correct detection of setup.py encoding

- Code cleanup [CAM Gerlach]


3.0.1 (2021-03-02)
------------------

- Drop support for Python 2 [Florian Bruhin]

- Add back official support for Python 3.6, I didn't realize it was still officially supported


2.6.1 (2021-02-16)
------------------

- Update to the current list of Trove classifiers.

- Officially support Python 3.8 and 3.9

- Drop official support for Python 3.5 and 3.6 (still works though).


2.6 (2019-11-02)
----------------

- Ran flake8 and black on the code, better formatting for
  classifiers.py generation.

- Support for PEP 517, setup.cfg-only packages. [Max Tyulin]

- Adds support for Markdown long_descriptions, if you set
  long_description_content_type to 'text/markdown'

- Installs Pygments to avoid an error message of you have
  syntax highlighted code in the long_description.


2.5 (2019-06-01)
----------------

- Fixed #35: Correctly restore ``sys.argv``.  [maurits]

- Added back the BusFactor test, the XMLRPC API supports it.

- #26: Adding a test to check for a development status classifier.

- #21: Accept the new project_urls distribution data.

- Now verifies that classifiers are valid, and that the license field
  and license classifiers match.

- The rating now again reflects if the long_description isn't valid ReST.

- #38: Recommendations for the License field has changed.


2.4 (2018-08-15)
----------------

- Get rid of the tests that rely on HTML scraping, it's too brittle.

- Update to use pypi.org instead of pypi.python.org
  [Andreas Lutro, Lennart Regebro]

- Added -n command line option to set the minimum rating needed for pyroma
  to return success, useful in scripts.
  [Scott Colby]


2.3.1 (2018-05-28)
------------------

- Fixed #12: Installation fails with a non-UTF8 locale under Python 3.
  [ericof, 4383, regebro]


2.3 (2017-11-28)
----------------

- Check that a classifier specifies the project license. [4383]

- Dropped support for Python 2.6, 3.3 and 3.4.

- Fixed a unicode issue [gotcha]

- Stopped recommending places to keep documentation.


2.2 (2016-10-26)
----------------

- Removed the TestSuite rating. I decided it was too close to looking at
  code quality. Pyroma no longer cares if you have tests or not.

- Fixed #36: PyPI now requires https.


2.1 (2016-10-18)
----------------

- #35: Support for PEP-440.


2.0.2 (2016-03-06)
------------------

- Faked the __name__ variable to allow you to have a "if __name__" construct
  in the setup.py.


2.0.1 (2016-03-06)
------------------

- Fixed a bug under Python 3 with certain imports.


2.0.0 (2016-02-28)
------------------

- Stable release.


2.0.0b2 (2015-11-09)
--------------------

- Made it run under Python 3 again.

- PEP8


2.0.0b1 (2015-11-08)
--------------------

- Big rewrite of how data is extracted from Distutils/Setuptools.


1.8.3 (2015-11-08)
------------------

- Issue #26: Checking a PyPI package could fail under Python 3.

1.8.2 (2015-06-14)
------------------

- Do not complain that the version number should be a string, when it
  is a basestring.
  [maurits]


1.8.1 (2015-04-27)
------------------

- This is what happens when you don't run the tests after merging.


1.8 (2015-04-27)
----------------

- More robust rating. [Jeff Quast]

- Closed #24.


1.7 (2014-10-19)
----------------

- Package name lookup is now case insensitive. [Dmitry Vakhrushev]

- Fixed yet another error in return value. [Dmitry Vakhrushev]


1.6 (2014-04-17)
----------------

- Fixed issue #17: Integration with zest.releaser stopped working.

- Fixed issue #18: Pyroma returns the rating as an exit code, this was a
  mistake. It now returns 0 on success, 1 on incorrect options and 2 if
  the rating is below 8.

- Fixed issue #19: Implementing a custom test class counts as having tests.

- 8: Philadelphia is now considered a "success" based on practical experience.


1.5 (2013-10-18)
----------------

- Fixed issue #13: Pyroma would fail if there was no description.

- Dropping support for Python 3.1. It still works, but it is unsupported.

- Added support for command line options, implementing #14 and #15.


1.4 (2013-05-29)
----------------

- Issue #13: Pyroma would fail when checking a package name if no source
  distribution could be found.

- Added a check that the package has a source distribution on PyPI.


1.3.1 (2013-05-29)
------------------

- Issue #11: pyroma would fail if long_description was a non-string.

- zest.releaser now only runs Pyroma on Python packages.

- Because packages that use external test-runners can not get more
  that 9/10, this value is now also seen as acceptable when running
  Pyroma through zest.releaser.


1.3 (2013-03-15)
----------------

- Added a test to make sure the version number is a string.

- Made sure errors were printed also when a fatal error was encountered.

- Better log messages.

- The zest.releaser hook is now done before tagging, as it's more useful there.
  Especially in conjunction with check-manifest.

- Having no long_description no longer causes pyroma to fail.


1.2 (2013-03-06)
----------------

- Removed the running of tests. I always found it a bit iffy, and getting
  rid of it solved a lot of issues. Pyroma is now focused solely on
  packaging quality.

- A package on PyPI with several versions will no longer return an error.

- Now looks for documentation on pythonhosted.org or readthedocs.org.

- Adds a hook for zest.releaser, so it can be run after doing the checkout,
  before uploading to PyPI.


1.1 (2013-03-05)
----------------

- Better handling if there is no package data, for example if setup.py doesn't
  call setup() unless you run it as the "__main__" script.

- If setup.py doesn't call setup() look for a main() script and try to run it.


1.0 (2013-03-05)
----------------

- Support for Python 3.3

- Added test for PEP 386 compliance.


0.9.3 (2011-03-17)
------------------

- It's now using a ProxyStub for the PyPI xmlrpclib during tests.

- Removed the Dependency rating.

- Added a rating that runs tests, to see if they run. This will also take
  care of checking for dependencies.


0.9.2 (2011-03-13)
------------------

- Commented out the dependency test, it was too unreliable.

- Fixed the ReST.

- Python 3 support.


0.9.1 (2011-03-08)
------------------

- Initial release
