appdirs 1.4.4 (2020-05-11)
--------------------------
- [PR 92] Don't import appdirs from setup.py which resolves issue 91
Project officially classified as Stable which is important
for inclusion in other distros such as ActivePython.
appdirs 1.4.3 (2017-03-07)
--------------------------
- [PR 76] Python 3.6 invalid escape sequence deprecation fixes
- Fix for Python 3.6 support

--------------------------
- [PR 84] Allow installing without setuptools
- [PR 86] Fix string delimiters in setup.py description
- Add Python 3.6 support
appdirs 1.4.1 (2017-02-23)
--------------------------
- [issue 38] Fix _winreg import on Windows Py3
- [issue 55] Make appname optional
appdirs 1.4.0 (2017-08-17)
--------------------------
- [PR 42] AppAuthor is now optional on Windows
- [issue 41] Support Jython on Windows, Mac, and Unix-like platforms. Windows
support requires `JNA <https://github.com/twall/jna>`_.
- [PR 44] Fix incorrect behavior of the site_config_dir method
appdirs 1.3.0 (2014-04-22)
--------------------------
- [Unix, issue 16] Conform to XDG standard, instead of breaking it for
everybody
- [Unix] Removes gratuitous case mangling of the case, since \*nix-es are
usually case sensitive, so mangling is not wise
- [Unix] Fixes the utterly wrong behavior in ``site_data_dir``, return result
based on XDG_DATA_DIRS and make room for respecting the standard which
specifies XDG_DATA_DIRS is a multiple-value variable
- [Issue 6] Add ``*_config_dir`` which are distinct on nix-es, according to
XDG specs; on Windows and Mac return the corresponding ``*_data_dir``
appdirs 1.2.0 (2011-01-26)
--------------------------
- [Unix] Put ``user_log_dir`` under the *cache* dir on Unix. Seems to be more
typical.
- [issue 9] Make ``unicode`` work on py3k.
appdirs 1.1.0 (2010-09-02)
--------------------------
- [issue 4] Add ``AppDirs.user_log_dir``.
- [Unix, issue 2, issue 7] appdirs now conforms to `XDG base directory spec
<https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html>`_.
- [Mac, issue 5] Fix ``site_data_dir()`` on Mac.
- [Mac] Drop use of 'Carbon' module in favor of hardcoded paths; supports
Python3 now.
- [Windows] Append "Cache" to ``user_cache_dir`` on Windows by default. Use
``opinion=False`` option to disable this.
- Add ``appdirs.AppDirs`` convenience class. Usage:
>>> dirs = AppDirs("SuperApp", "Acme", version="1.0")
>>> dirs.user_data_dir
'/Users/trentm/Library/Application Support/SuperApp/1.0'
- [Windows] Cherry-pick Komodo's change to downgrade paths to the Windows short
paths if there are high bit chars.
- [Linux] Change default ``user_cache_dir()`` on Linux to be singular, e.g.
"~/.superapp/cache".
- [Windows] Add ``roaming`` option to ``user_data_dir()`` (for use on Windows only)
and change the default ``user_data_dir`` behavior to use a *non*-roaming
profile dir (``CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA`` instead of ``CSIDL_APPDATA``). Why? Because
a large roaming profile can cause login speed issues. The "only syncs on
logout" behavior can cause surprises in appdata info.
appdirs 1.0.1 (never released)
------------------------------
Started this changelog 27 July 2010. Before that this module originated in the
`Komodo <https://www.activestate.com/komodo-ide>`_ product as ``applib.py`` and then
as ``applib/location.py`` (used by `PyPM <https://code.activestate.com/pypm/>`_ in `ActivePython
<https://www.activestate.com/activepython>`_). This is basically a fork of applib.py 1.0.1 and applib/location.py 1.0.1.
