``pkginfo`` Changelog
=====================

0.9.1 (2012-10-22)
------------------

- Fix test failure under Python >= 2.7, which is enforcing
  'metadata_version == 1.1' because we have classifiers.


0.9 (2012-04-25)
----------------

- Fix introspection of installed namespace packages.
  They may be installed as eggs or via dist-installed 'egg-info' files.

- Avoid a regression in 0.8 under Python 2.6 / 2.7 when parsing unicode.

0.8 (2011-03-12)
----------------

- Work around Python 2.7's breakage of StringIO.  Fixes
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/pkginfo/+bug/733827

- Fixed bug in introspection of installed packages missing the
  ``__package__`` attribute.
  

0.7 (2010-11-04)
----------------

- Preserve newlines in the ``description`` field.  Thanks to Sridhar
  Ratnakumar for the patch.

- 100% test coverage.


0.6 (2010-06-01)
----------------

- Replaced use of ``StringIO.StringIO`` with ``io.StringIO``, where available
  (Python >= 2.6).

- Replaced use of ``rfc822`` stdlib module with ``email.parser``, when
  available (Python >= 2.5).  Ensured that distributions "unfold" wrapped
  continuation lines, stripping any leading / trailing whitespace, no matter
  which module was used for parsing.

- Removed bogus testing dependency on ``zope.testing``.

- Added tests that the "environment markers" spelled out in the approved
  PEP 345 are captured.

- Added ``Project-URL`` for ``1.2`` PKG-INFO metdata (defined in the accepted
  version of PEP 345).


0.5 (2009-09-11)
----------------

- Marked package as non-zip-safe.

- Fixed Trove metadata misspelling.

- Restored compatibility with Python 2.4.

- Noted that the introspection of installed packages / modules works only
  in Python 2.6 or later.

- Added ``Index`` class as an abstraction over a collection of distributions.

- Added ``download_url_prefix`` argument to ``pkginfo`` script.  If passed,
  the script will use the prefix to synthesize a ``download_url`` for
  distributions which do not supply that value directly.


0.4.1 (2009-05-07)
------------------

- Fixed bugs in handling of installed packages which lack ``__file__``
  or ``PKG-INFO``.


0.4 (2009-05-07)
----------------

- Extended the console script to allow output as CSV or INI.  Also, added
  arguments to specify the metadata version and other parsing / output
  policies.

- Added support for the different metadata versions specified in PEPs
  241, 314, and 345.  Distributions now parse and expose only the attributes
  corresponding to their metadata version, which defaults to the version
  parsed from the ``PKG-INFO`` file.  The programmer can override that version
  when creating the distribution object.


0.3 (2009-05-07)
----------------

- Added support for introspection of "development eggs" (checkouts with
  ``PKG-INFO``, perhaps created via ``setup.py develop``).

- Added a console script, ``pkginfo``, which takes one or more paths
  on the command line and writes out the associated information.  Thanks
  to ``runeh`` for the patch!

- Added ``get_metadata`` helper function, which dispatches a given path or
  module across the available distribution types, and returns a distribution
  object.  Thanks to ``runeh`` for the patch!

- Made distribution objects support iteration over the metadata fields.
  Thanks to ``runeh`` for the patch!

- Made Distribution and subclasses new-style classes.  Thanks to ``runeh``
  for the patch!


0.2 (2009-04-14)
----------------

- Added support for introspection of ``bdist_egg`` binary distributions.


0.1.1 (2009-04-10)
------------------

- Fixed packaging errors.


0.1 (2009-04-10)
----------------

- Initial release.
