distro 1.6.0

v1.6.0

on Python PyPI

BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY:

• Deprecated the distro.linux_distribution() function. Use distro.id(), distro.version() and distro.name() instead [#296]

ENHANCEMENTS:

• Added type hints to distro module [#269]
• Added __version__ for checking distro version [#292]
• Added support for arbitrary rootfs via the root_dir parameter [#247]
• Added the --root-dir option to CLI [#161]
• Added fallback to /usr/lib/os-release when /etc/os-release isn't available [#262]

BUG FIXES:

• Fixed subprocess.CalledProcessError when running lsb_release [#261]
• Ignore /etc/iredmail-release file while parsing distribution [#268]
• Use a binary file for /dev/null to avoid TextIOWrapper overhead [#271]
