4.2.0

4.2.0

• NEW: Drop Python 3.4 support.
• NEW: Add flags FORCEWIN and FORCEUNIX to force Windows or Linux/Unix path logic on commands that do not access the file system: translate, fnmatch, filter, globmatch, globfilter, etc. These flags will not work with glob, iglob or with the WcMatch class. It also will not work when using the REALPATH flag with things like fnmatch, filter, globmatch, globfilter.
• FIX: glob corner case where the first folder, if defined as a literal name (not a magic pattern), would not be treated properly if IGNORECASE was enabled in Linux.

4.1.0

4.1.0

• NEW: Add WcMatch.is_aborted.
• FIX: Remove deprecation of kill and reset in WcMatch. There are legitimate reasons to not deprecate killing via kill instead of simply breaking.
• FIX: If for any reason, a file exists, but fails "is directory" check, consider it as a file.

4.0.1

4.0.1

• FIX: Fix regression with exclusion patterns that use braces in glob.
• FIX: Translate functions should have NODIR patterns exclude if matched not exclude if not matched.

4.0.0

4.0.0

• NEW: Deprecated WcMatch class methods kill and reset. WcMatch should be broken with a simple break statement instead.
• NEW: Add a new flag MARK to force glob to return directories with a trailing slash.
• NEW: Add MATCHBASE that causes glob glob related functions and WcMatch, when the pattern has no slashes in it, to seek for any file anywhere in the tree with a matching basename.
• NEW: Add NODIR that causes glob matchers and crawlers to only match and return files.
• NEW: Exclusion patterns (enabled with NEGATE) now always enable DOTALL in the exclusion patterns. They also will match symlinks in ** patterns. Only non NEGATE patterns that are paired with a NEGATE pattern are subject to symlinks and dot rules. Exclusion patterns themselves allow dots and symlinks to make filtering easier.
• NEW: Exclusion patterns no longer provide a default inclusion pattern if one is not specified. Exclusion patterns are meant to filter the results of inclusion patterns. You can either use the SPLIT flag and provide an inclusion pattern with your default ('default_pattern|!exclusion'), or feed in a list of multiple patterns instead of a single string (['inclusion', '!exclusion']). If you really need the old behavior, you can use the NEGATEALL flag which will provide a default inclusion pattern that matches all files.
• NEW: Translate now outputs exclusion patterns so that if they match, the file is excluded. This is opposite logic to how it used to be, but is more efficient.
• FIX: An empty pattern in glob should not match slashes.

3.0.2

3.0.2

• FIX: Fix an offset issue when processing an absolute path pattern in glob on Linux or macOS.
• FIX: Fix an issue where the glob command would use GLOBSTAR logic on ** even when GLOBSTAR was disabled.

3.0.1

3.0.1

• FIX: In the WcMatch class, defer hidden file check until after the file or directory is compared against patterns to potentially avoid calling hidden if the pattern doesn't match. The reduced lstat calls improve performance.

3.0.0

3.0.0

• NEW: globsplit and fnsplit have been deprecated. Users are encouraged to use the new SPLIT flag to allow functions to use multiple wildcard paths delimited by |.
• NEW: globmatch and globfilter will now parse provided paths as real paths if the new REALPATH flag is set. This has the advantage of allowing the commands to be aware of symlinks and properly apply related logic (whether to follow the links or not). It also helps to clarify ambiguous cases where it isn't clear if a file path references a directory because the trailing slash was omitted. It also allows the command to be aware of Windows drives evaluate the path in proper context compared to the current working directory.
• NEW: WcMatch class no longer accepts the recursive or show_hidden parameter, instead the RECURSIVE or HIDDEN flag must be used.
• NEW: WcMatch class now can search symlink directories with the new SYMLINK flag.
• NEW: glob and iglob functions now behave like Bash 5.0 in regards to symlinks in GLOBSTAR (**). GLOBSTAR will ignore symlink directories. This affects other functions such as globmatch and globfilter when the REALPATH flag is enabled.
• NEW: New flag called FOLLOW was added to force related glob commands to recognize and follow symlink directories.
• FIX: Fix glob regression where inverse patterns such as !**/test/** would allow a directory base/test to match when it should have excluded it.
• FIX: glob should handle root paths (/) properly, and on Windows, it should assume the drive of the current working directory.

2.2.1

2.2.1

• FIX: EXTMATCH/EXTGLOB should allow literal dots and should not treat dots like sequences do.
• FIX: Fix !(...) extended match patterns in glob and globmatch so that they properly match . and .. if their pattern starts with ..
• FIX: Fix !(...) extended match patterns so that they handle path separators correctly.
• FIX: Patterns such as ? or [.] should not trigger matching directories . and .. in glob and globmatch.

2.2.0

2.2.0

• NEW: Officially support Python 3.8.

2.1.0

2.1.0

• NEW: Deprecate version and version_info in favor of the more standard __version__ and __version_info__.
• FIX: Fix issue where negated patterns would trigger before end of path.
• FIX: Fix GLOBSTAR regular expression pattern issues.
