Changelog¶

Note

Until the Python API has stabilised, venvstacks is using ZeroVer (starting from 0.1.0).

Refer to Version Numbering for additional details on the way releases are versioned.

Unreleased¶

See the fragment files in the changelog.d directory.

Setting versioned = True in a layer definition will now append a lock version number to the layer name that automatically increments each time the locked requirements change for that layer (layer@1, layer@2, etc). Refer to Layer names and versioning for details on when the versioned and unversioned layer names are used (implemented in #24).
Added documentation for the Environment Stack File Formats (part of #78).
Added python_implementation to the published layer metadata (part of #78).
Added bound_to_implementation to the published layer metadata (part of #78).

Enabled rendered previews for documentation PRs (requested in #43).
Enabled link validity checks when rendering documentation (requested in #62).
Renamed EnvironmentExportRequest to LayerExportRequest (part of #33).
Exposed LayerSpecBase, LayeredSpecBase as public classes (part of #33).
Exposed LayerEnvBase, LayeredEnvBase as public classes (part of #33).
Added leading underscores to several private functions and methods (part of #33).
Added docstrings to all remaining public functions and methods (part of #33).
Updated docs to actively discourage using @ in layers names (part of #78).
Renamed fully_versioned_name runtime layer specification field to python_implementation (part of #78).
Renamed runtime_name to runtime_layer in the layer metadata (to align with the required_layers field), and simplified it to always refer to the runtime layer’s install target name (part of #78).

Post-installation scripts for layered environments now work correctly even when run with a Python installation other than the expected base runtime (resolved in #66)

Included project URLs in project metadata
Added installation instructions to README.md
Linked to main documentation from README.md
Improved the content split between the project overview page and the top level docs landing page
