Nox v2018.8.23 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-08-24 // over 5 years ago

  • Heads up! This is a very big release for Nox. Please read these release notes thoroughly and reach out to us on GitHub if you run into issues.

    💥 Breaking changes and other important notes:

    • 🚀 Nox is now published as "nox" on PyPI. This means that Nox is installed via pip install nox instead of nox-automation. Since the new release makes so many breaking changes, we won't be updating the old nox-automation package.
    • 🔧 Nox's configuration file is now called noxfile.py instead of nox.py.
    • 👍 Nox no longer supports Python 2.7. You can still create and run Python 2.7 sessions, but Nox itself must be installed using Python 3.5+.
    • Nox's behavior has been changed from declarative to imperative. Session actions now run immediately. Existing code to setup session virtualenv, such as session.interpreter will break! Please consult the documention on how to use @nox.session(python=[...]) to configure virtualenvs for sessions.
    • 🚀 Nox now uses CalVer for releases.
    • 👌 Support for the legacy naming convention (for example, session_tests) has been removed.
