History

1.0.0 (January 7th, 2019)

Backwards incompatible changes:

  • Dropped support for Python 2.7. Everett no longer supports Python 2. (#73)

  • Dropped support for Python 3.3 and added support for Python 3.7. Thank you, pjz! (#68)

  • Moved ConfigIniEnv to a different module. Now you need to import it like this:

    from everett.ext.inifile import ConfigIniEnv

    (#79)

Features:

  • Everett now logs configuration discovery in the everett logger at the logging.DEBUG level. This is helpful for trouble-shooting some kinds of issues. (#74)

Fixes:

  • Everett no longer requires configobj–it’s now optional. If you use ConfigIniEnv, you can install it with:

    $ pip install everett[ini]

    (#79)

  • Fixed list parsing and file discovery in ConfigIniEnv so they match the docs and are more consistent with other envs. Thank you, apollo13! (#71)

  • Added a .basic_config() for fast opinionated setup that uses the process environment and a .env file in the current working directory.

  • Switching to semver.

0.9 (April 7th, 2017)

Changed:

  • Rewrite Sphinx extension. The extension is now in the everett.sphinxext module and the directive is now .. autocomponent::. It generates better documentation and it now indexes Everett components and options.

    This is backwards-incompatible. You will need to update your Sphinx configuration and documentation.

  • Changed the HISTORY.rst structure.

  • Changed the repr for everett.NO_VALUE to "NO_VALUE".

  • InvalidValueError and ConfigurationMissingError now have namespace, key, and parser attributes allowing you to build your own messages.

Fixed:

  • Fix an example in the docs where the final key was backwards. Thank you, pjz!

Documentation fixes and updates.

0.8 (January 24th, 2017)

Added:

  • Add :namespace: and :case: arguments to autoconfig directive. These make it easier to cater your documentation to your project’s needs.
  • Add support for Python 3.6.

Minor documentation fixes and updates.

0.7 (January 5th, 2017)

Added:

  • Feature: You can now include documentation hints and urls for ConfigManager objects and config options. This will make it easier for your users to debug configuration errors they’re having with your software.

Fixed:

  • Fix ListOf so it returns empty lists rather than a list with a single empty string.

Documentation fixes and updates.

0.6 (November 28th, 2016)

Added:

  • Add RequiredConfigMixin.get_runtime_config() which returns the runtime configuration for a component or tree of components. This lets you print runtime configuration at startup, generate INI files, etc.
  • Add ConfigObjEnv which lets you use an object for configuration. This works with argparse’s Namespace amongst other things.

Changed:

  • Change :show-docstring: to take an optional value which is the attribute to pull docstring content from. This means you don’t have to mix programming documentation with user documentation–they can be in different attributes.
  • Improve configuration-related exceptions. With Python 3, configuration errors all derive from ConfigurationError and have helpful error messages that should make it clear what’s wrong with the configuration value. With Python 2, you can get other kinds of Exceptions thrown depending on the parser used, but configuration error messages should still be helpful.

Documentation fixes and updates.

0.5 (November 8th, 2016)

Added:

  • Add :show-docstring: flag to autoconfig directive.
  • Add :hide-classname: flag to autoconfig directive.

Changed:

  • Rewrite ConfigIniEnv to use configobj which allows for nested sections in INI files. This also allows you to specify multiple INI files and have later ones override earlier ones.

Fixed:

  • Fix autoconfig Sphinx directive and add tests–it was all kinds of broken.

Documentation fixes and updates.

0.4 (October 27th, 2016)

Added:

  • Add raw_value argument to config calls. This makes it easier to write code that prints configuration.

Fixed:

  • Fix listify(None) to return [].

Documentation fixes and updates.

0.3.1 (October 12th, 2016)

Fixed:

  • Fix alternate_keys with components. Previously it worked for everything but components. Now it works with components, too.

Documentation fixes and updates.

0.3 (October 6th, 2016)

Added:

  • Add ConfigManager.from_dict() shorthand for building configuration instances.
  • Add .get_namespace() to ConfigManager and friends for getting the complete namespace for a given config instance as a list of strings.
  • Add alternate_keys to config call. This lets you specify a list of keys in order to try if the primary key doesn’t find a value. This is helpful for deprecating keys that you used to use in a backwards-compatible way.
  • Add root: prefix to keys allowing you to look outside of the current namespace and at the configuration root for configuration values.

Changed:

  • Make ConfigDictEnv case-insensitive to keys and namespaces.

Documentation fixes and updates.

0.2 (August 16th, 2016)

Added:

  • Add ConfigEnvFileEnv for supporting .env files. Thank you, Paul!
  • Add “on” and “off” as valid boolean values. This makes it easier to use config for feature flippers. Thank you, Paul!

Changed:

  • Change ConfigIniEnv to take a single path or list of paths. Thank you, Paul!
  • Make NO_VALUE falsy.

Fixed:

  • Fix __call__ returning None–it should return NO_VALUE.

Lots of docs updates: finished the section about making your own parsers, added a section on using dj-database-url, added a section on django-cache-url and expanded on existing examples.

0.1 (August 1st, 2016)

Initial writing.
