0.9.0

[0.9.0] - 28.12.2023

This version brings new modules and methods, some cleanup and type hints

Added

• decorators: added the deprecated decorator for marking deprecated functions/classes
• dict_utils: added the ChangeDetectDict, a dictionary with the added functionality to detect if it has changed since being created (from another dict); also added the dict_try_casting_values method, that allows for complex (and recursive) value casting in dictionaries
• str_utils: added the human_parse_int method to allow parsing of values like -11.4k and 4G
• stream: added the new module; contains facilities to handle data flows similarly to Java's Stream API
• web_crawl: added the new module; contains web-crawling-related functions; still in early development

Changed

• cli_ui: refactored to not have to use eval
• execute: added some type hints
• fsdb: rolled back migration from eval to ast.literal_eval because it wasn't equivalent for parsing lambdas properly
• mediainfo: begun a major rewrite, centered around the switch to MediaInfo's JSON output to simplify parsing /!\ breaking changes, with more to come
• path_tools: major rewrite of make_FS_safe to more reliably avoid problematic names
• utils: diversified LOG formats (/!\ breaking change LOG_FORMAT -> LOG_FORMAT_EXTENDED)

Removed

• decorators: commented out cacheFS => should not be used anymore because relies on the pickle module which poses security risks

0.8.0

[0.8.0] - 06.08.2023

Bump in minor version justified by extensive changes

Added

• execute: added debug_execute (adapted from https://github.com/manzik/cmdbench)
• interval: added methods contains, split, merge and property math_repr
• str_utils: added method ensure_quoted_on_space

Changed

• DRSlib is now PEP-561 compliant
• Minimum runtime version is not Python 3.7
• multiprocessing: Added ability for nested multiprocessing (ex: A calls SimpleMultiProcessing.bulk_processing to B and B calls it to C)

There are risks associated with nested multiprocessing, so use carefully !

Removed
