Changes

Version 0.7.2 (released 2019-02-22)

• Two NaN values are considered the same, hence they are not shown in diff output. (#114) (@t-b)

• Refactors diff method to reduce recursive call stack size. (#112) (@yoyonel)

• Python porting best practice use feature detection instead of version detection to save an import and pass both PyLint and Flake8 tests with neither ‘pragma’ nor ‘noqa’. (@cclauss)

Version 0.7.1 (released 2018-05-04)

• Resolves issue with keys containing dots. (#101)

Version 0.7.0 (released 2017-10-16)

• Fixes problem with diff results that reference the original structure by introduction of deepcopy for all possibly unhashable items. Thus the diff does not change later when the diffed structures change.

• Adds new option for patching and reverting patches in-place.

• Adds Python 3.6 to test matrix.

• Fixes the ignore argument when it contains a unicode value.

Version 0.6.1 (released 2016-11-22)

• Changes order of items for REMOVE section of generated patches when swap is called so the list items are removed from the end. (#85)

• Improves API documentation for ignore argument in diff function. (#79)

• Executes doctests during PyTest invocation.

Version 0.6.0 (released 2016-06-22)

• Adds support for comparing NumPy arrays. (#68)

• Adds support for comparing mutable mappings, sequences and sets from collections.abs module. (#67)

• Fixes order in which handled conflicts are unified so that the Merger’s unified_patches can be always applied.

Version 0.5.0 (released 2016-01-04)

• Adds tolerance parameter used when user wants to treat closed values as equals

• Adds support for comparing numerical values and NaN. (#54) (#55)

Version 0.4.0 (released 2015-03-11)

• Adds support for diffing and patching of sets. (#44)

• New tests for diff on the same lists. (#48)

• Fix for empty list instructions. (#30)

• Regression test for empty list instructions.

Version 0.1.0 (released 2014-09-01)

• Fix for list removal issues during patching caused by wrong iteration. (#10)

• Support for Python 3. (#15)

Version 0.0.4 (released 2014-01-04)
