jjjake/internetarchive v5.12.0

Version 5.12.0

on GitHub

Features and Improvements

• Packaging metadata moved from setup.cfg to a PEP 621 pyproject.toml,
  built with hatchling. setup.py, setup.cfg, and MANIFEST.in are
  gone.
• The package version is now derived from the git tag by hatch-vcs instead of
  being stored in internetarchive/__version__.py. Tagging vX.Y.Z is what
  sets the version, so the tag and the released version cannot disagree, and
  releases no longer need a version-bump PR or a follow-up .devN bump.
  internetarchive.__version__ keeps working for installed packages, reading
  the value hatch-vcs generates at build time. In a source checkout that has
  never been built it falls back to the installed distribution metadata, and
  reports 0.0.0.dev0 if the package is not installed at all.
• make release RELEASE=X.Y.Z replaces make prepare-release /
  check-version; it validates the branch, tree, tag, and changelog section
  before pushing the tag.
• The install_internetarchive CI job now tests installation across Python
  3.10-3.14 rather than across historical setuptools versions, which no longer
  mean anything now that hatchling is the build backend, and asserts that the
  installed version resolved from git rather than falling back.
• setuptools and types-setuptools dropped from the development extras;
  nothing imports setuptools or pkg_resources at runtime.
• Dependencies are now locked in uv.lock, and CI installs from it with
  uv sync --locked rather than resolving fresh on every run. Contributors
  who change a dependency must run uv lock in the same commit; the
  --locked flag fails the build when the lockfile and pyproject.toml
  disagree. tox still resolves per interpreter, since that is the point of
  running it.
• The pex build tool and the twine/packaging release tools are now
  declared as PEP 735 dependency groups, so their versions are pinned by the
  lockfile without being published as installable extras. Previously CI
  installed them unpinned, which is how the pex bootstrap grew roughly
  500 KB between 5.11.0 and 5.11.1 with no change in this repository.
• tests/requirements.txt is gone; it duplicated the test extra, which
  tox now uses directly.
• mypy runs from the locked environment in both lint_python and the
  pre-commit hook, against explicit targets. The two checks previously used
  different mypy versions and different type-stub sets, so they could disagree
  about the same file.
