Pyrefly v1.1.1 is a patch release with a single bug fix.
🐛 Bug fixes
- #3867: Fixed a regression introduced in 1.1.0 where
isinstance()narrowing of a union variable silently stopped working when an earlier sibling branch in the sameif/elif/elsechain narrowed a different variable withisinstance()and returned. The later narrowing left the union untouched, producing falsemissing-attributeerrors on code that checked correctly in 1.0.0.

📦 Upgrade
pip install --upgrade pyrefly==1.1.1How to safely upgrade your codebase
Upgrading the version of Pyrefly you're using or a third-party library you depend on can reveal new type errors in your code. Fixing them all at once is often unrealistic. We've written scripts to help you temporarily silence them. After upgrading, follow these steps:
pyrefly check --suppress-errors- Run your code formatter of choice
pyrefly check --remove-unused-ignores- Repeat until you achieve a clean formatting run and a clean type check.
This will add # pyrefly: ignore comments to your code, enabling you to silence errors and return to fix them later. This can make the process of upgrading a large codebase much more manageable.
