git.k1024.org Git - pyxattr.git/blob

1 Version 0.5

2 ===========

4 Implemented support for python 3. This required a significant change to

5 the C module, hence the new version number.

7 Version 0.4

8 ===========

13 The old functions ({get,set,list,remove}xattr) are deprecated and replaced with

14 a new API that is namespace-aware and hopefully will allow other OSes (e.g.

15 FreeBSD) to be supported more naturally.

17 Both the old and the new API are supported in the 0.4 versions, however users

18 are encouraged to migrate to the new API.

20 New features

21 ------------

23 A new bulk get function called get_all() has been added that should be somewhat

24 faster in case of querying files which have many attributes.

26 License

27 -------

29 Since LGPLv3 is not compatible with GPLv2 (which unfortunately I didn't realize

30 before), the license was changed to LGPLv2.1 or later.

32 Internals

33 ---------

35 Unittest coverage was improved.

37 Version 0.3

38 ===========

40 * changed licence from GPL to LGPL (3 or later)

41 * changed listxattr return type from tuple to a list

42 * developer-related: added unittests

44 Version 0.2.2

45 =============

47 * fixed listing symlink xattrs

49 Version 0.2.1

50 =============

52 * fixed a bug when reading symlink EAs (you weren't able to

53 do it, actually)

54 * fixed a possible memory leak when the actual read of the EA

55 failed but the call to get the length of the EA didn't
