CHANGELOG.rst

Changelog

1.1.1 (2024-02-29)

• Fixed invoking outer pip from user site packages (PR 746, fixes issue 745)
• Corrected the minimum pip version required to use an outer pip (PR 746, fixes issue 745)

1.1.0 (2024-02-29)

• Use external pip if available instead of installing, speeds up environment setup with virtualenv slightly and venv significantly. (PR 736)
• Stopped injecting wheel as a build dependency automatically, in the case of missing pyproject.toml -- by webknjaz. (PR 716)
• Use importlib_metadata on Python <3.10.2 for bugfixes not present in those CPython standard libraries (not required when bootstrapping) -- by GianlucaFicarelli. (PR 693, fixes issue 692)

1.0.3 (2023-09-06)

• Avoid CPython 3.8.17, 3.9.17, 3.10.12, and 3.11.4 tarfile symlink bug triggered by adding data_filter in 1.0.0. (PR 675, fixes issue 674)

1.0.0 (2023-09-01)

• Removed the toml library fallback; toml can no longer be used as a substitute for tomli (PR 567)
• Added runner parameter to util.project_wheel_metadata (PR 566, fixes issue 553)
• Modified ProjectBuilder constructor signature, added alternative ProjectBuilder.from_env constructor, redefined env.IsolatedEnv interface, and exposed env.DefaultIsolatedEnv, replacing env.IsolatedEnvBuilder. The aim has been to shift responsibility for modifying the environment from the project builder to the IsolatedEnv entirely and to ensure that the builder will be initialised from an IsolatedEnv in a consistent manner. Mutating the project builder is no longer supported. (PR 537)
• virtualenv is no longer imported when using -n, for faster builds (PR 636, fixes issue 510)
• The SDist now contains the repository contents, including tests. Flit-core 3.8+ required. (PR 657, 661, fixes issue 656)
• The minimum version of importlib-metadata has been increased to 4.6 and Python 3.10 due to a bug in the standard library version with URL requirements in extras. This is still not required for 3.8 when bootstrapping (as long as you don't have URL requirements in extras). (PR 631, fixes issue 630)
• Docs now built with Sphinx 7 (PR 660)
• Tests now contain a network marker (PR 649, fixes issue 648)
• Config-settings are now passed to get_requires* hooks, fixing a long standing bug. If this affects your setuptools build, you can use -C--build-option=<cmd> -C--build-option=<option> to workaround an issue with Setuptools not allowing unrecognised build options when running this hook. (PR 627, fixes issue #264)
• Test on Python 3.12 betas/RCs (PR 624)
• Filter out malicious files when extracting tar archives when Python supports it (PR 609)
• Specify encoding, fixing issues when PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING is set. (PR 587, fixes issue 577)
• Ruff is now used for linting.

• Only import colorama on Windows (PR 494, Fixes 493)
• Flush output more often to reduce interleaved output (PR 494)
• Small API cleanup, like better _all__ and srcdir being read only. (PR 477)
• Only use importlib_metadata when needed (PR 401)
• Clarify in printout when build dependencies are being installed (PR 514)

0.8.0 (2022-05-22)

• Accept os.PathLike[str] in addition to str for paths in public API (PR 392, Fixes 372)
• Add schema validation for build-system table to check conformity with PEP 517 and PEP 518 (PR 365, Fixes 364)
• Better support for Python 3.11 (sysconfig schemes PR 434, PR 463, tomllib PR 443, warnings PR 420)
• Improved error printouts (PR 442)
• Avoid importing packaging unless needed (PR 395, Fixes 393)

Breaking Changes

0.5.1 (2021-06-22)

• Fix invoking the backend on an inexistent output directory with multiple levels (PR 318, Fixes 316)
• When building wheels via sdists, use an isolated temporary directory (PR 321, Fixes 320)

0.5.0 (2021-06-19)

• Add ProjectBuilder.metadata_path helper (PR 303, Fixes 301)
• Added a build.__main__.build_package_via_sdist method (PR 304)
• Use appropriate installation scheme for Apple Python venvs (PR 314, Fixes 310)

Breaking Changes

• Binary distributions are now built via the sdist by default in the CLI (PR 304, Fixes 257)
  • python -m build will now build a sdist, extract it, and build a wheel from the source
• As a side-effect of PR 304, build.__main__.build_package no longer does CLI error handling (print nice message and exit the program)
• Importing build.__main__ no longer has any side-effects, it no longer overrides warnings.showwarning or runs colorama.init on import (PR 312)

0.4.0 (2021-05-23)

• Validate that the supplied source directory is valid (PR 260, Fixes 259)
• Set and test minimum versions of build's runtime dependencies (PR 267, Fixes 263)
• Use symlinks on creating venv's when available (PR 274, Fixes 271)
• Error sooner if pip upgrade is required and fails (PR 288, Fixes 256)
• Add a runner argument to ProjectBuilder (PR 290, Fixes 289)
• Hide irrelevant pep517 error traceback and improve error messages (PR 296)
• Try to use colorama to fix colors on Windows (PR 300)

Breaking Changes

• As a side-effect of PR 260, projects not containing either a pyproject.toml or setup.py will be reported as invalid. This affects projects specifying only a setup.cfg, such projects are recommended to add a pyproject.toml. The new behavior is on par with what pip currently does, so if you are affected by this, your project should not be pip installable.
