Release 0.8.0 · dargueta/binobj

Released 2020-07-02

New Features

Official support for Python 3.9.

_do_load() could be given None for the loaded_fields argument even though the documentation explicitly stated that it was guaranteed to not be.
_do_dump() would get given bytes as its value argument if the field's default value was None.
The present callable was sometimes passed too few arguments, potentially resulting in a TypeError.
Dumping an unsized iterable in an Array no longer crashes.
Dumping a missing field whose default callable returns UNDEFINED now throws the expected MissingRequiredValueError exception instead of trying to serialize UNDEFINED.
Test on PyPy 3.6 like we claimed we were. Accidentally deleted that in the travis.yml file.

Removed the load(), loads(), dump(), and dumps() methods which were deprecated in 0.6.2.
Array now skips over fields loading as NOT_PRESENT when loading.
Field is now a generic container class, which means all subclasses must define their value type. This only affects users that created their own subclasses.

PEP 484 type annotations have been added.
Timestamp and its subclasses no longer inherit from Integer.
_NamedSentinel has been eliminated. In keeping with PEP 484, sentinel values such as UNDEFINED and NOT_PRESENT are now enums. For more information on why, see Support for Singleton Types in Unions in the PEP 484 documentation.
from binobj.errors import * now only imports the exception classes.
Travis no longer supports PyPy 3.5 so we have to stop testing on it, but the tests pass on CPython 3.5 and PyPy 3.6 so I think you're okay for now.
