1.0.0
The major bump in version should have been done a long time ago but with no ability to correct the past we are taking the opportunity to do so now.
The aim if for a version scheme that is more commonly used for Python packages. The three numbers represent in order:
- Major - version when incompatible API changes are made.
- Minor - version when functionality is added in a backwards-compatible manner.
- Maintenance - version when backwards-compatible bug fixes are made.
Add support for Python 3.9
Support has been added for Python 3.9 now that the official version has been release.
Drop support for Python 3.5
At the same time Python 3.5 has reached its end-of-life and so it will no longer be supported.
Pillow version 8.0.0
In conjunction with the Python release cycle Pillow has also added support for 3.9 and dropped support of 3.5. To align the supported versions the minimum required Pillow version will be 8.0.0.
Convcolors version 1.0.0
The code that dealt with color conversion has been separated into its own packaged called convcolors. The intention is to make a clearer distinction what the goal of extcolors is, the extraction of colors from images, and what it needs to perform that action.
In the long run the intention is also to extend convcolors from being only a library to also support command line operation (similar to what extcolors does today) for quick conversion between color spaces.
