Changes

4.1.2 (unreleased)

• Fix #55: UnicodeEncodeError on Windows when logging emoji. The emoji is now conditionally displayed only when the console encoding supports it (UTF-8), avoiding errors on Windows cp1252 encoding. [jensens]

4.1.1 (2025-10-20)

• Modernize release method with hatchling. See RELEASE.md [jensens]
• Modernize tox setup. [jensens]
• Modernize Github workflows. [jensens]
• Enhance test coverage [jensens]
• Fix Makefile. [jensens]

4.1.0 (2025-06-03)

• Support environment variable GIT_CLONE_DEPTH for setting a default git depth for all checkouts. Useful for CI. [maurits]

• Fix #47: Do not add packages with capital names uncommented at the bottom ignore list when checked out. [petschki]

4.0.3 (2024-05-17)

• Fix #45: Packages with capital names do not get ignored when checked out. [jensens]

4.0.2 (2024-03-13)

• Fix #42: deprecated use of pkg_resoures to load entry points and parse requirements. This enables mxdev to work on Python 3.12, where pkg_resources is no longer installed by default in virtual_envs. [jensens]

4.0.1 (2024-03-01)

• Fix specifying out a revision (#40) [pbauer]

4.0.0 (2024-02-28)

• Breaking: Remove --pre on sources from generated requirements-mxdev.txt. Usually it is not needed any longer, at least withy pip 23.x. This is a breaking change if you rely on the --pre option being present in the generated file. Now the --pre option should be added to pip install when the generated file is used. This change enables the use of the generated file with the alternative pip replacement uv. [jensens]

• Breaking: Drop official support for Python 3.7 (it is end of life). [jensens]

• Document mx.ini sections vcs setting. [jensens]

3.1.0 (2023-12-10)

• Removed leftover print [jensens]

3.0.0b3 (2023-04-23)

• Fix usage of --install-option='pre' and use --pre option in requirements files instead. The install options are deprecated in pip 23 which Plone switched to recently. More info: pypa/pip#11358 https://discuss.python.org/t/passing-command-line-arguments-to-pip-install-after-install-options-deprecation/22981/6 [thet, fredvd]

• Fix reading sections from the config parser without defaults if the section contains a setting that also exists as default. [rnix]

• Do not write constraints out to the file if no constraints are defined. [rnix]

• Add the main-package option to the settings. [rnix]

3.0.0b2 (2023-02-07)

• In this package, use pyproject.toml and markdown for README et al. [jensens]

• Add use option to sources, and default-use to the settings. default-use is true by default. When false, the source is not checked out, and the version for this package is not overridden. [maurits]

3.0.0b1 (2022-11-21)

• Do not use libvcs, but recycled and updated (type hints, tests) mr.developer VCS code. Code for GIT is tested well, code for SVN, Mercurial, Bazaar and DARCS needs contributors with knowledge in this area. Additional options, like pushurl, ... (see README) were added. pip style VCS URLs are not supported any longer. [jensens, rnix, zworkb]

• Config parser options are now considered case-sensitive. [rnix]

1.0.1 (2021-12-21)

• Fix: If a developed package depends on another developed package the dependent package was ignored sometimes (!?). Instead, the last release was taken. Solution: Install it with the --pre option in order to allow the other non-final/in-development release. [jensens]
