Release HistoryΒΆ

3.6

  • Switch to stevedore for plugin management
  • mkvirtualenv_help should use $VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON instead of calling virtualenv directly (issue 148).
  • Fix issue with lazy-loader code under zsh (issue 144).
  • Fix issue with noclobber option under zsh (issue 137). Fix based on patch from rob_b.
  • Fix documentation for add2virtualenv to show the correct name for the file containing the new path entry. (contributed by rvoicilas)
  • Fix problem with virtualenvwrapper_show_workon_options under zsh with chpwd functions that produce output. (issue 153)

3.5

  • Rewrite cpvirtualenv to use virtualenv-clone instead of making the new environment relocatable. Contributed by Justin Barber (barberj). This also resolves a problem with cpvirtualenv not honoring the --no-site-packages flag (issue 102).
  • Update docs with link to virtualenvwrapper-win port by David Marble.
  • Use command to avoid functions named the same as common utilities. (issue 119)

3.4

3.3

  • Clean up file permissions and remove shebangs from scripts not intended to be executed on the command line. (contributed by ralphbean)
  • Worked on some brittle tests.
  • Received updates to Japanese translation of the documentation from t2y.
  • Fix the test script and runner so the user’s $WORKON_HOME is not erased if they do not have some test shells installed. (big thanks to agriffis).
  • If the hook loader is told to list plugins but is not given a hook name, it prints the list of core hooks.
  • Merge several fixes for path and variable handling for MSYS users from bwanamarko. Includes a fix for issue 138.
  • Change mkvirtualenv so it catches both -h and --help.
  • Fix some issues with the way temporary files are used for hook scripts. (contributed by agriffis)
  • Allow relative path to requirements file with mkvirtualenv and -r option. (barberj)
  • Make whitespace consistent. (agriffis)

3.2

  • Make project_dir a local variable so that cdproject does not interfere with other variables the user might have set. (contributed by slackorama)
  • Fix typo in documentation reported by Nick Martin.
  • Change trove classifier for license “MIT” to reflect the license text presented in the documentation. This does not indicate a change in the license, just a correction to the expression of that intent. See :ref:`license` (contributed by ralphbean as fix for issue 134)
  • Extend rmvirtualenv to allow removing more than one environment at a time. (contributed by ciberglo)
  • Change the definition of virtualenvwrapper_get_site_packages_dir to ask distutils for the site-packages directory instead of trying to build the path ourselves in the shell script. This should resolve issue 112 and improve support for Python interpreters other than C Python. Thanks to Carl Meyer and Dario Bertini for their contributions toward the fix.

3.1

  • Fix a problem with activation hooks when associating a new virtualenv with an existing project directory. (issue 122)

  • Add Python 3 support, thanks in large part to the efforts of Daniel Kraus (dakra). Tested under Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2.

  • Remove the initialization shortcut because it breaks tab completion in sub-shell environments like screen and tmux. (issue 121)

2.11

  • Add -a option to mkvirtualenv to associate a new virtualenv with an existing project directory. Contributed by Mike Fogel (mfogel).
  • Drops support for Python 2.4 and 2.5. The tools may still work, but I no longer have a development environment set up for testing them, so I do not officially support them.
  • Shortcut initialization if it has run before.
  • Set hook log file permissions to be group-writable. (issue 62 reported by hedgeddown)
  • Add VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PROJECT_FILENAME variable so the .project file used to link a virtualenv to a project can be renamed to avoid conflicts with other tools. (issue 120 reported by arthuralvim)

2.10.1

2.10

  • Incorporated patch to add -d option to command-add2virtualenv, contributed by miracle2k.

  • Fix a problem with the way template names were processed under zsh. (issue 111)

2.9

  • Change the shell function shell definition syntax so that ksh will treat typeset-declared variables as local. No kidding.

  • Add -r option to mkvirtualenv to install dependencies using a pip requirements file.

  • Expand tab completion for zsh to work for all commands.

2.7.1

  • When testing for WORKON_HOME during startup, dereference any symlink to make sure it is a directory.
  • Set VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_HOOK_DIR and VIRTUALENV_WRAPPER_LOG DIR in virtualenvwrapper_initialize after WORKON_HOME is set (issue 94).
  • Update the Basic Installation instructions to be more explicit about needing to install virtualenvwrapper globally (or at least outside of a virtualenv).

2.7

  • Fix problem with space in WORKON_HOME path (issue 79).
  • Fix problem with argument processing in lsvirtualenv under zsh (issue 86). Thanks to Nat Williams (natw) for the bug report and patch.

  • Merge in contributions from Paul McLanahan (pmclanahan) to fix the test harness to ensure that the test scripts are actually running under the expected shell.

  • Document the VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV variable.
  • Implement suggestion by Van Lindberg to have VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_HOOK_DIR and VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_LOG_DIR variables to control the locations of hooks and logs.

  • Removed use of -e option in calls to grep for better portability (issue 85).

2.6.3

  • Hard-code the version information in the setup.py and conf.py scripts. This still doesn’t work for http://readthedocs.org, since the doc build needs the sphinxcontrib.bitbucket extension, but will make it easier to transition the docs to another site later.
