Release History
---------------
0.5.4 (2016-07-31)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Thanks to the welcome efforts of Jannis Leidel, contextlib2 is now a
[Jazzband](https://jazzband.co/) project! This means that I (Nick Coghlan)
am no longer a single point of failure for backports of future contextlib
updates to earlier Python versions.
* Issue `#7 <https://github.com/jazzband/contextlib2/issues/7>`__: Backported
fix for CPython issue `#27122 <http://bugs.python.org/issue27122>`__,
preventing a potential infinite loop on Python 3.5 when handling
``RuntimeError`` (CPython updates by Gregory P. Smith & Serhiy Storchaka)
0.5.3 (2016-05-02)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* ``ExitStack`` now correctly handles context managers implemented as old-style
classes in Python 2.x (such as ``codecs.StreamReader`` and
``codecs.StreamWriter``)
* ``setup.py`` has been migrated to setuptools and configured to emit a
universal wheel file by default
0.5.2 (2016-05-02)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* development migrated from BitBucket to GitHub
* ``redirect_stream``, ``redirect_stdout``, ``redirect_stderr`` and ``suppress``
now explicitly inherit from ``object``, ensuring compatibility with
``ExitStack`` when run under Python 2.x (patch contributed by Devin
Jeanpierre).
* ``MANIFEST.in`` is now included in the published sdist, ensuring the archive
can be precisely recreated even without access to the original source repo
(patch contributed by Guy Rozendorn)
0.5.1 (2016-01-13)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Python 2.6 compatilibity restored (patch contributed by Armin Ronacher)
* README converted back to reStructured Text formatting
0.5.0 (2016-01-12)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Updated to include all features from the Python 3.4 and 3.5 releases of
contextlib (also includes some ``ExitStack`` enhancements made following
the integration into the standard library for Python 3.3)
* The legacy ``ContextStack`` and ``ContextDecorator.refresh_cm`` APIs are
no longer documented and emit ``DeprecationWarning`` when used
* Python 2.6, 3.2 and 3.3 have been dropped from compatibility testing
* tox is now supported for local version compatibility testing (patch by
Marc Abramowitz)
0.4.0 (2012-05-05)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* (BitBucket) Issue #8: Replace ContextStack with ExitStack (old ContextStack
API retained for backwards compatibility)
* Fall back to unittest2 if unittest is missing required functionality
0.3.1 (2012-01-17)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* (BitBucket) Issue #7: Add MANIFEST.in so PyPI package contains all relevant
files (patch contributed by Doug Latornell)
0.3 (2012-01-04)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* (BitBucket) Issue #5: ContextStack.register no longer pointlessly returns the
wrapped function
* (BitBucket) Issue #2: Add examples and recipes section to docs
* (BitBucket) Issue #3: ContextStack.register_exit() now accepts objects with
__exit__ attributes in addition to accepting exit callbacks directly
* (BitBucket) Issue #1: Add ContextStack.preserve() to move all registered
callbacks to a new ContextStack object
* Wrapped callbacks now expose __wrapped__ (for direct callbacks) or __self__
(for context manager methods) attributes to aid in introspection
* Moved version number to a VERSION.txt file (read by both docs and setup.py)
* Added NEWS.rst (and incorporated into documentation)
0.2 (2011-12-15)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Renamed CleanupManager to ContextStack (hopefully before anyone started
using the module for anything, since I didn't alias the old name at all)
0.1 (2011-12-13)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Initial release as a backport module
* Added CleanupManager (based on a `Python feature request`_)
* Added ContextDecorator.refresh_cm() (based on a `Python tracker issue`_)
