v19.1.0 Changes
March 03, 2019
Backward-incompatible Changes
- 🛠 Fixed a bug where deserialized objects with cache_hash=True could have incorrect hash code values. This change breaks classes with cache_hash=True when a custom __setstate__ is present. An exception will be thrown when applying the attrs annotation to such a class. This limitation is tracked in issue #494 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/494>. #482 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/482>
🔄 Changes ^{^{^{^{^{^{^}}}}}}
- Add is_callable, deep_iterable, and deep_mapping validators.
  - is_callable: validates that a value is callable
  - deep_iterable: Allows recursion down into an iterable, applying another validator to every member in the iterable as well as applying an optional validator to the iterable itself.
  - deep_mapping: Allows recursion down into the items in a mapping object, applying a key validator and a value validator to the key and value in every item. Also applies an optional validator to the mapping object itself.
You can find them in the attr.validators package. #425 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/425>_
- Fixed stub files to prevent errors raised by mypy's disallow_any_generics = True option. #443 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/443>_
- Attributes with init=False now can follow after kw_only=True attributes. #450 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/450>_
- 👻 attrs now has first class support for defining exception classes.
If you define a class using @attr.s(auto_exc=True) and subclass an exception, the class will behave like a well-behaved exception class including an appropriate __str__ method, and all attributes additionally available in an args attribute. #500 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/500>_
- 📚 Clarified documentation for hashing to warn that hashable objects should be deeply immutable (in their usage, even if this is not enforced). #503 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/503>_
v18.2.0 Changes
September 01, 2018
🗄 Deprecations ^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^}}}}}}}}}}}
- 🗄 Comparing subclasses using <, >, <=, and >= is now deprecated. The docs always claimed that instances are only compared if the types are identical, so this is a first step to conform to the docs.
Equality operators (== and !=) were always strict in this regard. #394 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/394>_

🔄 Changes ^{^{^{^{^{^{^}}}}}}
- attrs now ships its own PEP 484 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/>_ type hints. Together with mypy <http://mypy-lang.org>_'s attrs plugin, you've got all you need for writing statically typed code in both Python 2 and 3!
At that occasion, we've also added narrative docs <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/types.html>_ about type annotations in attrs. #238 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/238>_
- Added kw_only arguments to attr.ib and attr.s, and a corresponding kw_only attribute to attr.Attribute. This change makes it possible to have a generated __init__ with keyword-only arguments on Python 3, relaxing the required ordering of default and non-default valued attributes. #281 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/281>, #411 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/411>
- 👷 The test suite now runs with hypothesis.HealthCheck.too_slow disabled to prevent CI breakage on slower computers. #364 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/364>, #396 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/396>
- attr.validators.in_() now raises a ValueError with a useful message even if the options are a string and the value is not a string. #383 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/383>_
- attr.asdict() now properly handles deeply nested lists and dictionaries. #395 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/395>_
- Added attr.converters.default_if_none() that allows to replace None values in attributes. For example attr.ib(converter=default_if_none("")) replaces None by empty strings. #400 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/400>, #414 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/414>
- 🛠 Fixed a reference leak where the original class would remain live after being replaced when slots=True is set. #407 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/407>_
- Slotted classes can now be made weakly referenceable by passing @attr.s(weakref_slot=True). #420 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/420>_
- Added cache_hash option to @attr.s which causes the hash code to be computed once and stored on the object. #425 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/425>_
- Attributes can be named property and itemgetter now. #430 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/430>_
- It is now possible to override a base class' class variable using only class annotations. #431 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/431>_
v18.1.0 Changes
May 03, 2018
🔄 Changes ^{^{^{^{^{^{^}}}}}}
- x=X(); x.cycle = x; repr(x) will no longer raise a RecursionError, and will instead show as X(x=...).
#95 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/95>_
- 0️⃣ attr.ib(factory=f) is now syntactic sugar for the common case of attr.ib(default=attr.Factory(f)).
#178 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/178>, #356 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/356>
- ➕ Added attr.field_dict() to return an ordered dictionary of attrs attributes for a class, whose keys are the attribute names.
#290 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/290>, #349 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/349>
- The order of attributes that are passed into attr.make_class() or the these argument of @attr.s() is now retained if the dictionary is ordered (i.e. dict on Python 3.6 and later, collections.OrderedDict otherwise).
Before, the order was always determined by the order in which the attributes have been defined which may not be desirable when creating classes programmatically.

#300 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/300>, #339 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/339>, #343 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/343>_
- In slotted classes, __getstate__ and __setstate__ now ignore the __weakref__ attribute.
#311 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/311>, #326 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/326>
- Setting the cell type is now completely best effort. This fixes attrs on Jython.
We cannot make any guarantees regarding Jython though, because our test suite cannot run due to dependency incompatibilities.

#321 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/321>, #334 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/334>
- If attr.s is passed a these argument, it will no longer attempt to remove attributes with the same name from the class body.
#322 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/322>, #323 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/323>
- 🏗 The hash of attr.NOTHING is now vegan and faster on 32bit Python builds.
#331 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/331>, #332 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/332>
- The overhead of instantiating frozen dict classes is virtually eliminated. #336 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/336>_
- Generated __init__ methods now have an __annotations__ attribute derived from the types of the fields.
#363 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/363>_
- 📚 We have restructured the documentation a bit to account for attrs' growth in scope. Instead of putting everything into the examples <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/examples.html>_ page, we have started to extract narrative chapters.
So far, we've added chapters on initialization <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/init.html>_ and hashing <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/hashing.html>_.

Expect more to come!

v17.4.0 Changes
December 30, 2017
Backward-incompatible Changes
- The traversal of MROs when using multiple inheritance was backward: If you defined a class C that subclasses A and B like C(A, B), attrs would have collected the attributes from B before those of A.
This is now fixed and means that in classes that employ multiple inheritance, the output of __repr__ and the order of positional arguments in __init__ changes. Because of the nature of this bug, a proper deprecation cycle was unfortunately impossible.

Generally speaking, it's advisable to prefer kwargs-based initialization anyways – especially if you employ multiple inheritance and diamond-shaped hierarchies.

#298 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/298>, #299 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/299>, #304 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/304>_
- The __repr__ set by attrs no longer produces an AttributeError when the instance is missing some of the specified attributes (either through deleting or after using init=False on some attributes).
This can break code that relied on repr(attr_cls_instance) raising AttributeError to check if any attrs-specified members were unset.

If you were using this, you can implement a custom method for checking this::
```
  def has_unset_members(self):
      for field in attr.fields(type(self)):
          try:
              getattr(self, field.name)
          except AttributeError:
              return True
      return False
```
#308 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/308>_

🗄 Deprecations ^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^}}}}}}}}}}}
- 🗄 The attr.ib(convert=callable) option is now deprecated in favor of attr.ib(converter=callable).
This is done to achieve consistency with other noun-based arguments like validator.

convert will keep working until at least January 2019 while raising a DeprecationWarning.

#307 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/307>_

🔄 Changes ^{^{^{^{^{^{^}}}}}}
- Generated __hash__ methods now hash the class type along with the attribute values. Until now the hashes of two classes with the same values were identical which was a bug.
The generated method is also much faster now.

#261 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/261>, #295 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/295>, #296 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/296>_
- 📇 attr.ib\ ’s metadata argument now defaults to a unique empty dict instance instead of sharing a common empty dict for all. The singleton empty dict is still enforced.
#280 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/280>_
- ctypes is optional now however if it's missing, a bare super() will not work in slotted classes. This should only happen in special environments like Google App Engine.
#284 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/284>, #286 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/286>
- The attribute redefinition feature introduced in 17.3.0 now takes into account if an attribute is redefined via multiple inheritance. In that case, the definition that is closer to the base of the class hierarchy wins.
#285 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/285>, #287 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/287>
- Subclasses of auto_attribs=True can be empty now.
#291 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/291>, #292 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/292>
- Equality tests are much faster now.
#306 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/306>_
- All generated methods now have correct __module__, __name__, and (on Python 3) __qualname__ attributes.
#309 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/309>_
v17.3.0 Changes
November 08, 2017
Backward-incompatible Changes
- Attributes are no longer defined on the class body.
This means that if you define a class C with an attribute x, the class will not have an attribute x for introspection. Instead of C.x, use attr.fields(C).x or look at C.__attrs_attrs__. The old behavior has been deprecated since version 16.1. (#253 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/253>_)

🔄 Changes ^{^{^{^{^{^{^}}}}}}
- super() and __class__ now work with slotted classes on Python 3. (#102 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/102>, #226 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/226>, #269 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/269>, #270 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/270>, #272 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/272>_)
- Added type argument to attr.ib() and corresponding type attribute to attr.Attribute.
This change paves the way for automatic type checking and serialization (though as of this release attrs does not make use of it). In Python 3.6 or higher, the value of attr.Attribute.type can alternately be set using variable type annotations (see PEP 526 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0526/>). (#151 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/151>, #214 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/214>, #215 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/215>, #239 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/239>_)
- The combination of str=True and slots=True now works on Python 2. (#198 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/198>_)
- attr.Factory is hashable again. (#204 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/204>_)
- Subclasses now can overwrite attribute definitions of their base classes.
That means that you can -- for example -- change the default value for an attribute by redefining it. (#221 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/221>, #229 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/229>)
- Added new option auto_attribs to @attr.s that allows to collect annotated fields without setting them to attr.ib().
Setting a field to an attr.ib() is still possible to supply options like validators. Setting it to any other value is treated like it was passed as attr.ib(default=value) -- passing an instance of attr.Factory also works as expected. (#262 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/262>, #277 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/277>)
- Instances of classes created using attr.make_class() can now be pickled. (#282 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/282>_)

🚚 To encourage more participation, the project has also been moved into a dedicated GitHub organization <https://github.com/python-attrs/>_ and everyone is most welcome to join!

attrs also has a logo now!

.. image:: https://www.attrs.org/en/latest/_static/attrs_logo.png :alt: attrs logo

Backward-incompatible Changes:
- attrs will set the __hash__() method to None by default now. The way hashes were handled before was in conflict with Python's specification <https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__hash__>. This may break some software although this breakage is most likely just surfacing of latent bugs. You can always make attrs create the ``hash()method using@attr.s(hash=True)`. See#136` for the rationale of this change.
.. warning::
```
Please *do not* upgrade blindly and *do* test your software!
*Especially* if you use instances as dict keys or put them into sets!
```
- Correspondingly, attr.ib's hash argument is None by default too and mirrors the cmp argument as it should.
🗄 Deprecations: ^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^}}}}}}}}}}}}
- 🗄 attr.assoc() is now deprecated in favor of attr.evolve() and will stop working in 2018.
🔄 Changes: ^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^}}}}}}}
- 🛠 Fix default hashing behavior. Now hash mirrors the value of cmp and classes are unhashable by default. #136_ #142 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/142>_
- ➕ Added attr.evolve() that, given an instance of an attrs class and field changes as keyword arguments, will instantiate a copy of the given instance with the changes applied. evolve() replaces assoc(), which is now deprecated. evolve() is significantly faster than assoc(), and requires the class have an initializer that can take the field values as keyword arguments (like attrs itself can generate). #116 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/116>_ #124 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/124>_ #135 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/135>_
- FrozenInstanceError is now raised when trying to delete an attribute from a frozen class. #118 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/118>_
- Frozen-ness of classes is now inherited. #128 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/128>_
- __attrs_post_init__() is now run if validation is disabled. #130 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/130>_
- ➕ Added attr.validators.in_(options) that, given the allowed options, checks whether the attribute value is in it. This can be used to check constants, enums, mappings, etc. #181 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/181>_
- ➕ Added attr.validators.and_() that composes multiple validators into one. #161 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/161>_
- For convenience, the validator argument of @attr.s now can take a list of validators that are wrapped using and_(). #138 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/138>_
- Accordingly, attr.validators.optional() now can take a list of validators too. #161 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/161>_
- Validators can now be defined conveniently inline by using the attribute as a decorator. Check out the validator examples <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/init.html#decorator>_ to see it in action! #143 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/143>_
- attr.Factory() now has a takes_self argument that makes the initializer to pass the partially initialized instance into the factory. In other words you can define attribute defaults based on other attributes. #165_ #189 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/189>_
- 0️⃣ Default factories can now also be defined inline using decorators. They are always passed the partially initialized instance. #165_
- Conversion can now be made optional using attr.converters.optional(). #105 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/105>_ #173 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/173>_
- attr.make_class() now accepts the keyword argument bases which allows for subclassing. #152 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/152>_
- Metaclasses are now preserved with slots=True. #155 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/155>_

v16.3.0 Changes
November 24, 2016
🔄 Changes: ^{^{^{^{^{^{^{^}}}}}}}
- 📇 Attributes now can have user-defined metadata which greatly improves attrs's extensibility. #96 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/96>_
- Allow for a __attrs_post_init__() method that -- if defined -- will get called at the end of the attrs-generated __init__() method. #111 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/pull/111>_
- Added @attr.s(str=True) that will optionally create a __str__() method that is identical to __repr__(). This is mainly useful with Exception\ s and other classes that rely on a useful __str__() implementation but overwrite the default one through a poor own one. Default Python class behavior is to use __repr__() as __str__() anyways.
If you tried using attrs with Exception\ s and were puzzled by the tracebacks: this option is for you.
- __name__ is no longer overwritten with __qualname__ for attr.s(slots=True) classes. #99 <https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/99>_
