This is the major v4.0.0 release of the hickle package.

Changes:

  • Dropped support for Python 2.7;
  • Dropped legacy support for hickle files made with v1 and v2;
  • OrderedDict is now supported (#65);
  • Subclasses of supported classes can now be properly dumped;
  • data_0 is no longer used if there is only a single data group/set (#44);
  • HDF5 groups can now be dumped to and loaded from (#54);
  • Integers using Python's arbitrary-precision (integers larger than 64-bit) can now be dumped and loaded properly (#113);
  • Replaced broken link to pickle documentation with proper one (#122);
  • Objects that appear to be iterable are no longer considered as such unless hickle knows for sure they are iterables (#70 and #125);
  • Dict keys with slashes are now supported (#124);
  • Loaders are only loaded when they are required for dumping or loading specific objects (#114);
  • hickle now has 100% test coverage;
  • NumPy arrays containing unicode strings can be properly dumped and loaded;
  • NumPy arrays containing non-NumPy objects can be dealt with as well (#90);
  • Removed the use of 'track_times' (#130);
  • If an object fails to be hickled using normal means, hickle will now fall back to pickling the object;
  • Massively simplified the way in which builtin Python scalars are stored, making it easier for the user to view.
