0.10.3 (2022-12-09)

New features:

• Added utility function pathspec.util.append_dir_sep() to aid in distinguishing between directories and files on the file-system. See Issue #65.

• Issue #66/Pull #67: Package not marked as py.typed.
• Issue #68: Exports are considered private.
• Issue #70/Pull #71: 'Self' string literal type is Unknown in pyright.

Improvements:

0.10.2 (2022-11-12)

Bug fixes:

• Fix failing tests on Windows.
• Type hint on root parameter on pathspec.pathspec.PathSpec.match_tree_entries().
• Type hint on root parameter on pathspec.pathspec.PathSpec.match_tree_files().

0.10.0 (2022-08-30)

Major changes:

• Dropped support of EOL Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6. See Issue #47.
• The gitwildmatch pattern dir/* is now handled the same as dir/. This means dir/* will now match all descendants rather than only direct children. See Issue #19.
• Added pathspec.GitIgnoreSpec class (see new features).
• Changed build system to pyproject.toml and build backend to setuptools.build_meta which may have unforeseen consequences.
• Renamed GitHub project from python-path-specification to python-pathspec. See Issue #35.

API changes:

• Deprecated: pathspec.util.match_files() is an old function no longer used.
• Deprecated: pathspec.match_files() is an old function no longer used.
• Deprecated: pathspec.util.normalize_files() is no longer used.
• Deprecated: pathspec.util.iter_tree() is an alias for pathspec.util.iter_tree_files().
• Deprecated: pathspec.iter_tree() is an alias for pathspec.util.iter_tree_files().
• Deprecated: pathspec.pattern.Pattern.match() is no longer used. Use or implement pathspec.pattern.Pattern.match_file().

New features:

• Added class pathspec.gitignore.GitIgnoreSpec (with alias pathspec.GitIgnoreSpec) to implement gitignore behavior not possible with standard PathSpec class. The particular gitignore behavior implemented is prioritizing patterns matching the file directly over matching an ancestor directory.

Bug fixes:

• Issue #19: Files inside an ignored sub-directory are not matched.
• Issue #41: Incorrectly (?) matches files inside directories that do match.
• Pull #51: Refactor deprecated unittest aliases for Python 3.11 compatibility.
• Issue #53: Symlink pathspec_meta.py breaks Windows.
• Issue #54: test_util.py uses os.symlink which can fail on Windows.
• Issue #55: Backslashes at start of pattern not handled correctly.
• Pull #56: pyproject.toml: include subpackages in setuptools config
• Issue #57: ! doesn't exclude files in directories if the pattern doesn't have a trailing slash.

Improvements:

• Support Python 3.10, 3.11.
• Modernize code to Python 3.7.
• Issue #52: match_files() is not a pure generator function, and it impacts tree_*() gravely.
