Changelog
===========
0.3 (unreleased)
------------------
- The ``glob_data_files`` hook became a pre-command hook for the install_data
command instead of being a setup-hook. This is to support the additional
functionality of requiring data_files with relative destination paths to be
install relative to the package's install path (i.e. site-packages).
- Dropped support for and deprecated the easier_install custom command.
Although it should still work, it probably won't be used anymore for
stsci_python packages.
- Added support for the ``build_optional_ext`` command, which replaces/extends
the default ``build_ext`` command. See the README for more details.
- Added the ``tag_svn_revision`` setup_hook as a replacement for the
setuptools-specific tag_svn_revision option to the egg_info command. This
new hook is easier to use than the old tag_svn_revision option: It's
automatically enabled by the presence of ``.dev`` in the version string, and
disabled otherwise.
- The ``svn_info_pre_hook`` and ``svn_info_post_hook`` have been replaced with
``version_pre_command_hook`` and ``version_post_command_hook`` respectively.
However, a new ``version_setup_hook``, which has the same purpose, has been
added. It is generally easier to use and will give more consistent results
in that it will run every time setup.py is run, regardless of which command
is used. ``stsci.distutils`` itself uses this hook--see the `setup.cfg` file
and `stsci/distutils/__init__.py` for example usage.
- Instead of creating an `svninfo.py` module, the new ``version_`` hooks create
a file called `version.py`. In addition to the SVN info that was included
in `svninfo.py`, it includes a ``__version__`` variable to be used by the
package's `__init__.py`. This allows there to be a hard-coded
``__version__`` variable included in the source code, rather than using
pkg_resources to get the version.
- In `version.py`, the variables previously named ``__svn_version__`` and
``__full_svn_info__`` are now named ``__svn_revision__`` and
``__svn_full_info__``.
- Fixed a bug when using stsci.distutils in the installation of other packages
in the ``stsci.*`` namespace package. If stsci.distutils was not already
installed, and was downloaded automatically by distribute through the
setup_requires option, then ``stsci.distutils`` would fail to import. This
is because the way the namespace package (nspkg) mechanism currently works,
all packages belonging to the nspkg *must* be on the import path at initial
import time.
So when installing stsci.tools, for example, if ``stsci.tools`` is imported
from within the source code at install time, but before ``stsci.distutils``
is downloaded and added to the path, the ``stsci`` package is already
imported and can't be extended to include the path of ``stsci.distutils``
after the fact. The easiest way of dealing with this, it seems, is to
delete ``stsci`` from ``sys.modules``, which forces it to be reimported, now
the its ``__path__`` extended to include ``stsci.distutil``'s path.
0.2.2 (2011-11-09)
------------------
- Fixed check for the issue205 bug on actual setuptools installs; before it
only worked on distribute. setuptools has the issue205 bug prior to version
0.6c10.
- Improved the fix for the issue205 bug, especially on setuptools.
setuptools, prior to 0.6c10, did not back of sys.modules either before
sandboxing, which causes serious problems. In fact, it's so bad that it's
not enough to add a sys.modules backup to the current sandbox: It's in fact
necessary to monkeypatch setuptools.sandbox.run_setup so that any subsequent
calls to it also back up sys.modules.
0.2.1 (2011-09-02)
------------------
- Fixed the dependencies so that setuptools is requirement but 'distribute'
specifically. Previously installation could fail if users had plain
setuptools installed and not distribute
0.2 (2011-08-23)
------------------
- Initial public release
