3.0.0

Release 3.x

All new and shiny major release.

This release removes a lot of legacy things and inconsistencies.

Likely previous code that was using 2.x releases needs some adaption.

See below for details about the changes.

New

• cls_item.Variable gained IsImmediateModify() to check if the statement is not a prepend, append or remove operation
• cls_item gained FlagAssignment class for all operations involving flags
• cls_item gained Inherit class, that support inherit and inherit_defer statements
• cls_item gained Unset class, that supports unset statements
• cls_item gained TaskDel class, that supports deltask statements
• cls_item gained AddPylib class, that supports addpylib statements
• cls_stash.GetItemsFor returns now StashList instead of a plain List
  On those Lists x.reduce offers a way to further filter the results, with
  the same parameters as cls_stash.GetItemsFor
• cls_stash.Stash now supports to enforce the use of the kirkstone+ override syntax, by passing
  new_style_override_syntax=True to the constructor
• Even more inline-functions are expanded now
• Expansion of inline functions now works properly even if the TRUE-value is empty
