15.3 - 2015-08-01

• Normalize post-release spellings for rev/r prefixes. #35

15.2 - 2015-05-13

• Fix an error where the arbitary specifier (===) was not correctly allowing pre-releases when it was being used.

• Expose the specifier and version parts through properties on the Specifier classes.

• Allow iterating over the SpecifierSet to get access to all of the Specifier instances.

• Allow testing if a version is contained within a specifier via the in operator.

15.1 - 2015-04-13

• Fix a logic error that was causing inconsistent answers about whether or not a pre-release was contained within a SpecifierSet or not.

15.0 - 2015-01-02

• Add Version().is_postrelease and LegacyVersion().is_postrelease to make it easy to determine if a release is a post release.

• Add Version().base_version and LegacyVersion().base_version to make it easy to get the public version without any pre or post release markers.

• Support the update to PEP 440 which removed the implied !=V.* when using either >V or <V and which instead special cased the handling of pre-releases, post-releases, and local versions when using >V or <V.

14.5 - 2014-12-17

• Normalize release candidates as rc instead of c.

• Expose the VERSION_PATTERN constant, a regular expression matching a valid version.

14.4 - 2014-12-15

• Ensure that versions are normalized before comparison when used in a specifier with a less than (<) or greater than (>) operator.

14.3 - 2014-11-19

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE Refactor specifier support so that it can sanely handle legacy specifiers as well as PEP 440 specifiers.

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE Move the specifier support out of packaging.version into packaging.specifiers.

14.2 - 2014-09-10

• Add prerelease support to Specifier.

• Remove the ability to do item in Specifier() and replace it with Specifier().contains(item) in order to allow flags that signal if a prerelease should be accepted or not.

• Add a method Specifier().filter() which will take an iterable and returns an iterable with items that do not match the specifier filtered out.

14.1 - 2014-09-08

• Allow LegacyVersion and Version to be sorted together.

• Add packaging.version.parse() to enable easily parsing a version string as either a Version or a LegacyVersion depending on it’s PEP 440 validity.

14.0 - 2014-09-05

• Initial release.
