Nocaselist

----------------

Released: 2022-03-27

**Bug fixes:**

* Mitigated the coveralls HTTP status 422 by pinning coveralls-python to
<3.0.0 (issue 55).

* Fixed a dependency error that caused importlib-metadata to be installed on
Python 3.8, while it is included in the Python base.

* Fixed new issues raised by Pylint 2.10.

* Disabled new Pylint issue 'consider-using-f-string', since f-strings were
introduced only in Python 3.6.

* Fixed install error of wrapt 1.13.0 on Python 2.7 on Windows due to lack of
MS Visual C++ 9.0 on GitHub Actions, by pinning it to <1.13.

* Fixed TypeError when running Sphinx due to using docutils 0.18 on Python 2.7.

* Fixed error when installing virtualenv in install test on Python 2.7.

* Fixed that the added setup.py commands (test, leaktest, installtest) were not
displayed. They are now displayed at verbosity level 1 (using '-v').

**Enhancements:**

* Enhanced test matrix on GitHub Actions to always include Python 2.7 and
Python 3.4 on Ubuntu and Windows, and Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 on macOS.

* Support for Python 3.10: Added Python 3.10 in GitHub Actions tests, and in
package metadata.

**Cleanup:**

* Removed old tools that were needed on Travis and Appveyor but no longer on
GitHub Actions: remove_duplicate_setuptools.py, retry.bat

----------------

Released: 2021-01-01

**Enhancements:**

* Migrated from Travis and Appveyor to GitHub Actions. This required changes
in several areas including dependent packages used for testing and coverage.
This did not cause any changes on dependent packages used for the installation
of the package.

----------------

Released: 2020-10-04

**Bug fixes:**

* Test: Fixed issue with virtualenv raising AttributeError during installtest
on Python 3.4. (see issue 43)

* Added checking for no expected warning. Adjusted a testcase to accomodate
the new check. (see issue 45)

----------------

Released: 2020-09-11

**Bug fixes:**

* Fixed an AttributeError during unpickling. (See issue 37)

**Enhancements:**

* Optimized pickling a NocaseList object by serializing only the original
list, but not the second lower-cased list. This optimization is only
implemented for Python 3.

* Added tests for pickling and unpickling.

**Cleanup:**

* Suppressed new Pylint issue 'super-with-arguments', because this package
still supports Python 2.7.

----------------

Released: 2020-07-28

**Bug fixes:**

* Fixed the incorrect behavior of the '+' and '+=' operators to now (correctly)
treat the right hand operand as an iterable of items to be added, instead of
(incorrectly) as a single item. For '+', the right hand operand now must
be a list, consistent with the built-in list class. (See issue 25)

* Fixed the incorrect behavior of the `*` and `*=` operators to now validate
that the number is an integer and raise TypeError otherwise, consistent with
the built-in list class. (See issue 27)

**Enhancements:**

* Removed enforcement of Python version at run time. (See issue 18)

* Added support for the clear() method on Python 2.7 (where the built-in list
class does not support it yet). (See issue 30)

* The `*=` operator now modifies the left hand operand list in place, instead of
returning a new list. Note that both is correct behavior. (Part of issue 27)

* Improved the performance of initializing a NocaseList object by copying
the internal lower-cased list when possible, instead of rebuilding it from
the original list.

* Test: Coveralls now runs on all python versions, merging the result.
(See issue 17)

* Test: Added support for testing against standard list, by adding a new
make target 'testlist', and running that test on the Travis and Appveyor CIs.
(See issue 16)

* Docs: Clarified that NocaseList supports the functionality of the built-in
list class as of Python 3.8, including all methods that have been added since
Python 2.7, on all Python versions.

* Docs: Documented exceptions that can be raised, in all methods.

* Docs: Switched Sphinx theme to sphinx_rtd_theme (See issue 19)

* Docs: Switched links to items in the Python documentation to go to Python 3
instead of Python 2.
