Fixed: support comparison with arbitrary objects in audibject.Object.__eq__, which is needed with signature

Fixed: apply auto_install in audobject.from_yaml()

Fixed: support auto_install with nested objects

Added: argument auto_install to audobject.from_dict(), audobject.from_yaml(), audobject.from_yaml_s()

Added: audobject.define.PackageMismatchWarnLevel

Added: audobject.config.PACKAGE_MISMATCH_WARN_LEVEL

Changed: store package in YAML if it does not match module

Changed: by default raises warning if required package has a newer version than the installed one

Removed: deprecation warning for ignore_vars from audobject.init_decorator()

Added: Python 3.9 support

Added: docstring examples to resolver classes

Changed: update documentation on borrowed arguments

Added: argument override_args to from_dict(), from_yaml(), from_yaml_s()

Changed: resolver.Function supports callable objects of type Object

Deprecated: **kwargs from from_dict(), from_yaml(), from_yaml_s()

Added: subpackage resolver

Added: resolver.FilePath, resolver.Function, resolver.Tuple, resolver.Type

Deprecated: FilePathResolver, FunctionResolver, TupleResolver, TypeResolver

Fixed: preserve default arguments in serialized functions

Fixed: attach source to dynamically created functions

Added: audobject.FunctionResolver

Added: audobject.from_dict

Added: audobject.from_yaml

Added: audobject.from_yaml_s

Deprecated: audobject.Object.from_yaml_s

Added: FilePathResolver

Fixed: inherit borrow, hide and resolvers

Fixed: link “Edit on Github” in documentation

Fixed: link to audfactory.Lookup in documentation

Fixed: remove footer links in documentation

Changed: add badges to README

Fixed: updated all links to Github

Fixed: package metadata defined in setup.cfg

Changed: move to Github and make open source release

Changed: audobject.Object implements __hash__()

Changed: borrow arguments from dictionary

Fixed: avoid warnings for unsupported kwargs in audobject.Object.from_dict()

Added: borrow argument to audobject.init_decorator()

Changed: parse authors and project name from setup

Changed: use audeer.deprecated_keyword_argument()

Changed: raise error when serializing a callable

Changed: better error messages

Changed: audobject.init_decorator() stores hidden arguments before calling __init__

Added: argument flatten to audobject.Object.to_dict()

Added: audobject.Object.arguments(), audobject.Object.hidden_arguments(), audobject.Object.resolvers()

Added: hide to audobject.init_decorator() (replaces ignore_vars)

Changed: Serialize only arguments of __init__ to YAML

Changed: Raise error if user tries to hide argument without default value

Changed: Raise error if argument that is not hidden is not assigned to a variable

Removed: check_vars from audobject.init_decorator
