CHANGELOG.md

0.33.0

• There is a new convenience method Sections.get_or_create() that allows you to manipulate a section without checking if it exists first. If a section doesn't exist, it will be appended to the end. (#441) For example, this will work properly even on spec files without %changelog:

    with spec.sections() as sections:
        changelog = sections.get_or_create("changelog")
        changelog[:] = ["%autochangelog"]
  

0.32.6

• New minor release for testing in CBS Koji

0.32.5

• We have fixed our parser to take in account the deprecations introduced in Python 3.8 (#420)

0.32.4

• NEVR and NEVRA classes are now hashable (#416)

0.32.3

• specfile can now handle multi-line tag values (enclosed in a macro body, e.g. %shrink). (#412)

0.32.2

• Explicitly invalidate the global parse hash when a SpecParser instance is created to prevent this issue. (#409)

0.32.1

• Fixed two issues related to condition parsing. (#405)

0.32.0

• It is now possible to bump a release in a manner similar to rpmdev-bumpspec using Specfile.bump_release() method. (#399)

0.31.0

• Value of a Tag no longer includes trailing whitespace (if any). (#393)
• specfile now tries to expand macros before processing conditions to be able to resolve conditional expressions defined by macros, for example OpenSUSE Tumbleweed defines %ifpython3 macro as %if "%{python_flavor}" == "python3". (#394)

0.30.0

• Fixed an exception that occured when accessing the Specfile.has_autochangelog property while having unparseable lines (e.g. lines ending with unescaped %) in %changelog. (#387)

0.29.0

• Improved compatibility with RPM 4.20 (alpha version is currently in Fedora Rawhide). (#380)

0.28.3

• Fixed several minor issues such as processing seemingly commented-out macro definitions (e.g. #%global prerel rc1) and treating SourceLicense tag as a source. (#374, #376)
• Made EVR, NEVR and NEVRA objects comparable. (#379)

0.28.2

• Handling of trailing newlines in the macro defintions has been improved. (#361)

0.28.1

• We have fixed an issue in %prep section processing. For instance, if the %patches macro appeared there, it would have been converted to %patch es, causing failure when executing %prep later. (#356)

0.28.0

• A trailing newline is no longer added to spec files without one upon saving. (#353)

0.27.0

• Improved handling of commented-out macro definitions and fixed related logic in Specfile.update_value(). (#338)

0.26.0

• When accessing tags or macro definitions by name, specfile now takes validity into account when looking for the best match. For example if there are two instances of Version tag, one in the true and one in the false branch of a condition, Specfile.version will always access the one that is in the true branch. (#328)

0.25.1rc1

• Third pre-release for testing Packit support.

0.25.0

• There is a new method, Specfile.update_version(), that allows updating spec file version even if it is a pre-release. (#317)

0.24.1rc2

• Second pre-release for testing Packit support.

0.24.1-rc1

• First pre-release for testing Packit support.

0.24.0

• Improved type annotations for UserList subclasses. (#299)
• Macro definitions gained a new commented_out property indicating that a macro definition is commented out. Another new property, comment_out_style, determines if it is achieved by using a %dnl (discard next line) directive (e.g. %dnl %global prerelease beta2) or by replacing the starting % with # (e.g. #global prerelease beta2). (#298)

0.23.0

• Sources now have a valid property that indicates whether a source is valid in the current context, meaning it is not present in a false branch of any condition. (#295)

0.22.1

• Removed dependency on setuptools-scm-git-archive. (#290)

0.22.0

• Macro definitions and tags gained a new valid attribute. A macro definition/tag is considered valid if it doesn't appear in a false branch of any condition appearing in the spec file. (#276)

0.21.0

• specfile no longer tracebacks when some sources are missing and can't be emulated. In such case the spec file is parsed without them at the cost of %setup and %patch macros potentially expanding differently than with the sources present. (#271)
• Specfile's license in RPM spec file is now confirmed to be SPDX compatible. (#269)

0.20.2

• Fixed Packit config to work properly with propose-downstream and pull-from-upstream jobs. (#261)

0.20.1

• specfile now once again supports EPEL 8 and Python 3.6. (#256)

0.20.0

• Fixed infinite loop when removing macros with % in the name. (#244)
• Added a possibility to undefine system macros by setting a macro value to None in the macros argument of the Specfile constructor. (#244)
• Fixed a bug in processing options of %prep macros. For instance, when a quoted string appeared inside an expression expansion, it could lead to improper parsing, rendering the spec file invalid after accessing the options. (#253)

0.19.0

• Parsing has been optimized so that even spec files with hundreds of thousands of lines can be processed in reasonable time. (#240)

0.18.0

• Specfile library now handles multiple %changelog sections. (#230)

0.17.0

• Added a new guess_packager() function that uses similar heuristics as rpmdev-packager, meaning that the Specfile.add_changelog_entry() method no longer requires rpmdev-packager to guess the changelog entry author. (#220)
• The Specfile.add_changelog_entry() method now uses dates based on UTC instead of the local timezone. (#223)

0.16.0

• Added Specfile.has_autorelease property to detect if a spec file uses the %autorelease macro. (#221)

0.15.0

• Parsing the spec file by RPM is now performed only if really necessary, greatly improving performance in certain scenarios. (#212)
• Checked that license is a valid SPDX license.

0.14.0

• Fixed a bug that broke parsing in case spec file contained conditionalized macro definitions or similar constructs. (#209)
• Specfile no longer depends on rpm-py-installer, it now depends directly on rpm. (#207)

0.13.2

• Fixed infinite loop that occured when section options were followed by whitespace. (#197)

0.13.1

• Fixed a bug in section parsing that caused sections to be ignored when there were macro definitions spread across the spec file and not cumulated at the top. (#191)

0.13.0

• Added Section.options attribute for convenient manipulation of section options. (#183)
• specfile now supports single-line sections where section content is represented by a macro starting with a newline. (#182)
• Added evr argument to Specfile.add_changelog_entry(). This allows adding a changelog entry with an EVR value that's different from the current specfile's value. This makes it easier to reconstruct a specfile's %changelog based on another source using the higher level interface. (#181)

0.12.0

• All classes including Specfile itself can now be copied using the standard copy() and deepcopy() functions from copy module. (#176)
• Section.name attribute has been renamed to a more fitting Section.id. (#167)
• setup.cfg now uses license_files instead of deprecated license_file. (#162)

0.11.1

• Tags enclosed in conditional macro expansions are not ignored anymore. (#156)
• Fixed context managers being shared between Specfile instances. (#157)

0.11.0

• Context managers (Specfile.sections(), Specfile.tags() etc.) can now be nested and combined together (with one exception - Specfile.macro_definitions()), and it is also possible to use tag properties (e.g. Specfile.version, Specfile.license) inside them. It is also possible to access the data directly, avoiding the with statement, by using the content property (e.g. Specfile.tags().content), but be aware that no modifications done to such data will be preserved. You must use with to make changes. (#153)

0.10.0

• Fixed an issue that caused empty lines originally inside changelog entries to appear at the end. (#140)
• Renamed the ignore_missing_includes option to a more general force_parse. If specified, it allows to attempt to parse the spec file even if one or more sources required to be present at parsing time are not available. Such sources include sources referenced from shell expansions in tag values and sources included using the %include directive. (#137)

0.9.1

• specfile now supports localized tags (e.g. Summary(fr)) and tags with qualifiers (e.g. Requires(post)). It also follows more closely rpm parsing logic and doesn't fail on invalid section names. (#132)

0.9.0

• Added utility classes for working with (N)EVR. (#113)
• Fixed an issue with multiple instances of Specfile not expanding macros in the right context. (#117)

0.8.0

• Added Specfile.update_tag() method that allows updating tag values while trying to preserve macro expansions. You can watch a demo on YouTube. (#101)

0.7.0

• It is now possible to filter changelog entries by specifying lower bound EVR, upper bound EVR or both. (#104)
• Added support for filenames specified in source URL fragments, for example: https://example.com/foo/1.0/download.cgi#/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz (#100)

0.6.0

• Switched to our own implementation of working with %changelog timestamps and removed dependency on arrow (#88)

0.4.0

• Added convenience properties for most used tags (#63)
• Hardened linting by ignoring only specific mypy errors (#64)
• Fixed list of valid tag names and ensured newly added tags are not part of a condition block (#66)
• Initial patch number and its default number of digits are now honored (#66)
• Fixed a bug in %prep macro stringification (#67)

0.3.0

• Made Sources a MutableSequence (#36)
