News ==== Version 0.5.3 ------------- Small optimisations release: * ari edelkind contributed a speed-up optimisation for handling of files without xattrs (which is, in general, the expected case) * Jonas Borgström contributed a behaviour change to the handling of file names: under Python 3 and up, unicode paths are encoded/decoded using the 'surogatee' handler, instead of the 'strict' handler; while this can hide encoding errors, it mirrors what Python libraries do (e.g. see os.fsencode/fsdecode) * Sean Patrick Santos contributed improvements to the test suite so that it can be used even on files systems which have built-in attributes (e.g. when using SELinux, or NFSv4); to enable this, define the attributes in the TEST_IGNORE_XATTRS environment variable Version 0.5.2 ------------- Bug-fix release. Thanks to Michał Górny, it looked like the library had problem running under pypy, but actually there was a bug in the PyArg_ParseTuple use of et# (signed vs. unsigned, and lack of compiler warnings). This was fixed, and now the test suite passed with many CPython versions and PyPy (version 1.9). Version 0.5.1 ------------- Bug-fix release. Thanks to Dave Malcolm and his cpychecker tool, a number of significant bugs (refcount leaks and potential NULL-pointer dereferences) have been fixed. Furthermore, compatibility with Python 3 has been improved; this however required changing the meaning of the ``namespace`` argument to the functions: if passed, None is no longer a valid value; pass an empty string if (due to the structure of your program) you have to pass this argument but want to specify no namespace. Also, the project home page has changed from SourceForge to GitHub, and the documentation has been converted from epydoc-based to sphinx. Version 0.5 ----------- Implemented support for Python 3. This required a significant change to the C module, hence the new version number. Version 0.4 ----------- API ~~~ The old functions ({get,set,list,remove}xattr) are deprecated and replaced with a new API that is namespace-aware and hopefully will allow other OSes (e.g. FreeBSD) to be supported more naturally. Both the old and the new API are supported in the 0.4 versions, however users are encouraged to migrate to the new API. New features ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A new bulk get function called get_all() has been added that should be somewhat faster in case of querying files which have many attributes. License ~~~~~~~ Since LGPLv3 is not compatible with GPLv2 (which unfortunately I didn't realize before), the license was changed to LGPLv2.1 or later. Internals ~~~~~~~~~ Unittest coverage was improved. Version 0.3 ----------- * changed licence from GPL to LGPL (3 or later) * changed listxattr return type from tuple to a list * developer-related: added unittests Version 0.2.2 ------------- * fixed listing symlink xattrs Version 0.2.1 ------------- * fixed a bug when reading symlink EAs (you weren't able to do it, actually) * fixed a possible memory leak when the actual read of the EA failed but the call to get the length of the EA didn't ..
