Change log

2.0 (2025-10-28)

• Also check pyproject.toml when running check-python-versions.

• Fix handling of tool section during pyproject.toml generation.

• Add support for Python 3.14.

• Drop support for Python 3.9.

• Allow setuptools >= 78.1.1, <81.

• Replace pkg_resources namespace with PEP 420 native namespace.

• Update to pypy-3.11.

• Add flag --no-tests to the scripts for switching to PEP 420 namespaces and for updating supported Python versions.

• Add support for the --template-overrides flag to the Python version update script because it calls config-package.

• Add ability to omit creating files by providing empty override templates.

• Fixed a regression that removed GHA additional installs from the default template for GHA testing.

• Upgrade setuptools pin to 75.8.2, which is extensively tested with the latest zc.buildout release 4.1.4. Package maintainers should update all their sandboxes to use ``setuptools==75.8.2`` and ``zc.buildout>=4.1.4`` to avoid issues with building and/or loading wheels!

• Use Jinja templates to generate pyproject.toml files as well.

• Add argument --template-overrides to configuration script to specify an additional configuration templates folder. This folder is expected to contain subfolders for each overridden configuration type or a default folder. The templates in these template folders will override the built-in templates.

• Add argument --no-tests to configuration script to skip unit tests. Useful for quick iterative configuration or code changes.

• Retire configurations require-cffi and additional-build-requirement. Build dependencies should go into pyproject.toml instead.

• Fixes for changed wheel name issues with the latest setuptools/pip

• Improve pyproject.toml generation

• Add the tox release-check step to the c-code templates

• Add script bin/switch-to-pep420 to convert a package from the old namespace package layout to the new PEP 420 native layout.

• Add pyupgrade-exclude to [pre-commit] section in .meta.toml.

1.1 (2025-01-29)

• Drop support for Python 3.8.

• Allow specifying a minimum supported Python version other than the previously hardcoded default of Python 3.8.

• Allow setuptools <= 75.6.0.

• Add omit option to coverage-run configuration because when defined in pyproject.toml it needs to be a list of strings.

• Update setup.py of configured packages with small textual changes to match current best practices.

1.0 (2024-10-02)

• Converted to an installable Python package.
