1.9.0

This is the Blinker 1.9.0 feature release. A feature release may include new features, remove previously deprecated code, add new deprecations, or introduce potentially breaking changes. We encourage everyone to upgrade, and to use a tool such as pip-tools to pin all dependencies and control upgrades. Test with warnings treated as errors to be able to adapt to deprecation warnings early.

1.8.0

This is the Blinker 1.8.0 feature release, which may include new features, remove previously deprecated code, or add new deprecations. The 1.8.x line is now the supported fix branch, support has ended for the 1.7.x line. We encourage everyone to upgrade, and to use a tool such as pip-tools to pin all dependencies and control upgrades. Test with warnings treated as errors to be able to adapt to deprecation warnings early.

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/blinker/1.8.0/
Changes: https://blinker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#version-1-8-0

• Deprecate the __version__ attribute. Use feature detection, or importlib.metadata.version("blinker"), instead. #128
• Specify that the deprecated temporarily_connected_to will be removed in the next version.
• Show a deprecation warning for the deprecated global receiver_connected signal and specify that it will be removed in the next version.
• Show a deprecation warning for the deprecated WeakNamespace and specify that it will be removed in the next version.
• Greatly simplify how the library uses weakrefs. This is a significant change internally but should not affect any public API. #144

This release fixes some compatibility with Python >= 3.7. Python < 3.7, including 2.7 and Jython, should still work for this release, but will no longer be supported in the next release.
