v0.8.1

• [CHANGE]: talib.stream is now the real streaming API of TA-Lib C 0.8.1: stream.SMA(close) returns a handle, not a value. handle.value is the value at the last history bar, handle.update(bar) costs O(1) and returns that bar's value, handle.peek(bar) evaluates a forming bar without committing it, and handle.copy() forks it. stream.SMA.open_and_fill() returns the handle and the Function API's series in one pass. A multi-output function answers with the same tuple the Function API returns. The old last-value functions -- talib.stream.SMA, talib.stream_SMA, and their _ta_lib.pyi stubs -- are gone; talib/stream.pyi types the handles instead.

  Migrating is stream.X(...) -> stream.X(...).value, and the compiler cannot find the sites for you: if stream.CDLDOJI(o, h, l, c): used to test the pattern and now tests a handle, which is always true.

• [NEW]: talib.InsufficientHistory, raised when a stream is opened with too little history. It is the library's one recoverable error, so it is catchable on its own rather than as a bare Exception.

• [FIX]: help(talib.SUPERTREND) and the abstract stub named the outputs real and integer; they are supertrend and trend, the names abstract.Function('SUPERTREND').output_names already reported.

• [FIX]: An empty array given to a function whose lookback is zero, such as talib.ACOS or talib.MA(x, timeperiod=1), made TA-Lib read and write one element outside the buffers, which could crash the interpreter later or corrupt memory silently. An empty input now returns empty outputs without calling TA-Lib, whatever the function and its parameters. The bug dates from 0.4.27.
