Breaking Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Several relevant breaking changes have been introduced with this release. For
the inside scoop, please see the :doc:`upgrade notes <upgrading>`.
- Change: 'errors' values are lists containing error messages. Previously, they
were simple strings if single errors, lists otherwise.
Closes :issue:`210`. (Frank Sachsenheim)
- Change: Custom validator methods: remove the second argument.
(Frank Sachsenheim)
- Change: Custom validator methods: invert the logic of the conditional clauses
where is tested what a value is not / has not. (Frank Sachsenheim)
- Change: Custom validator methods: replace calls to 'self._error' with
'return True', or False, or None. (Frank Sachsenheim)
- Change: Remove 'transparent_schema_rule' in favor of docstring schema
validation. (Frank Sachsenheim)
- Change: Rename 'property_schema' rule to 'keyschema'. (Frank Sachsenheim)
- Change: Replace 'validate_update' method with 'update' keywork argument.
(Frank Sachsenheim)
- Change: The processed root-document of is now available as 'root_document'-
property of the (child-)Validator. (Frank Sachsenheim)
- Change: Removed 'context'-argument from 'validate'-method as this is set
upon the creation of a child-validator. (Frank Sachsenheim)
- Change: 'ValidationError'-exception renamed to 'DocumentError'.
(Frank Sachsenheim)
- Change: Consolidated all schema-related error-messages' names.
(Frank Sachsenheim)
- Change: Use warnings.warn for deprecation-warnings if available.
(Frank Sachsenheim)
Version 0.9.2
-------------
Released on September 23, 2015
- Fix: don't rely on deepcopy since it can't properly handle complex objects in
Python 2.6.
Version 0.9.1
-------------
Released on July 7 2015
- Fix: 'required' is always evaluated, independent of eventual missing
dependencies. This changes the previous behaviour whereas a required field
with dependencies would only be reported as missing if all dependencies were
met. A missing required field will always be reported. Also see the
discussion in https://github.com/pyeve/eve/pull/665.
Version 0.9
-----------
Released on June 24 2015.
Codename: 'Mastrolindo'.
- New: 'oneof' rule which provides a list of definitions in which only one
should validate (C.D. Clark III).
- New: 'noneof' rule which provides a list of definitions that should all not
validate (C.D. Clark III).
- New: 'anyof' rule accepts a list of definitions and checks that one
definition validates (C.D. Clark III).
- New: 'allof' rule validates if if all definitions validate (C.D. Clark III).
- New: 'validator.validated' takes a document as argument and returns
a validated document or 'None' if validation failed (Frank Sachsenheim).
- New: PyPy support (Frank Sachsenheim).
- New: Type coercion (Brett).
- New: Added 'propertyschema' validation rule (Frank Sachsenheim).
- Change: Use 'str.format' in error messages so if someone wants to override
them does not get an exception if arguments are not passed.
Closes :issue:`105`. (Brett)
- Change: 'keyschema' renamed to 'valueschema', print a deprecation warning
(Frank Sachsenheim).
- Change: 'type' can also be a list of types (Frank Sachsenheim).
- Fix: useages of 'document' to 'self.document' in '_validate' (Frank
Sachsenheim).
- Fix: when 'items' is applied to a list, field name is used as key for
'validator.errors', and offending field indexes are used as keys for field
errors ({'a_list_of_strings': {1: 'not a string'}}) 'type' can be a list of
valid types.
- Fix: Ensure that additional `**kwargs` of a subclass persist through
validation (Frank Sachsenheim).
- Fix: improve failure message when testing against multiple types (Frank
Sachsenheim).
- Fix: ignore 'keyschema' when not a mapping (Frank Sachsenheim).
- Fix: ignore 'schema' when not a sequence (Frank Sachsenheim).
- Fix: allow_unknown can also be set for nested dicts.
Closes :issue:`75`. (Tobias Betz)
- Fix: raise SchemaError when an unallowed 'type' is used in conjunction with
'schema' rule (Tobias Betz).
- Docs: added section that points out that YAML, JSON, etc. can be used to
define schemas (C.D. Clark III).
- Docs: Improve 'allow_unknown' documentation (Frank Sachsenheim).
Version 0.8.1

Released on Mar 16 2015.
- Fix: dependency on a sub-document field does not work. Closes :issue:`64`.

Version 0.8
-----------
Released on Jan 7 2015.
- 'dependencies' also supports dependency values.
- 'allow_unknown' can also be set to a validation schema, in which case unknown
fields will be validated against it. Closes pyeve/eve:issue:`405`.
- New function-based custom validation mode (Luo Peng).
- Fields with empty definitions in schema were reported as non-existent. Now
they are considered as valid, whatever their value is (Jaroslav Semančík).
- If dependencies are precised for a 'required' field, then the presence of the
field is only validated if all dependencies are present (Trong Hieu HA).
- Documentation typo (Nikita Vlaznev :issue:`55`).

Þorbjörnsson :issue:`49`)
Version 0.7.2
-------------
Released on Jun 19 2014.
- Successfully validate int as float type (Florian Rathgeber).
Version 0.7.1
-------------
Released on Jun 17 2014.
- Validation schemas are now validated up-front. When you pass a Schema to the
Validator it will be validated against the supported ruleset (Paul Weaver).
Closes :issue:`39`.
- Custom validators also have access to a special 'self.document' variable that
allows validation of a field to happen in context of the rest of the document
(Josh Villbrandt).
- Validator options like 'allow_unknown' and 'ignore_none_values' are now taken
into consideration when validating sub-dictionaries. Closes :issue:`40`.
Version 0.7

- Python 3.4 is now supported.
- tox support.
- Added 'dependencies' validation rule (Lujeni).
- Added 'keyschema' validation rule (Florian Rathgeber).
- Added 'regex' validation rule. Closes :issue:`29`.
- Added 'set' as a core data type. Closes :issue:`31`.
- Not-nullable fields are validated independetly of their type definition
(Jaroslav Semančík).
- Python trove classifiers added to setup.py. Closes :issue:`32`.
- 'min' and 'max' now apply to floats and numbers too. Closes :issue:`30`.
Version 0.6
-----------
Released on February 10 2014
- Added 'number' data type, which validates against both float and integer
values (Brandon Aubie).
- Added support for running tests with py.test
- Fix non-blocking problem introduced with 0.5 (Martin Ortbauer).
- Fix bug when _error() is calld twice for a field (Jaroslav Semančík).

- Use 'allowed' field for integer just like for string (Peter Demin).
Version 0.5
-----------
Released on December 4 2013
- 'validator.errors' now returns a dictionary where keys are document fields

= validator.validate(document)` you can now choose to do 'validated
= validator(document)' (Eelke Hermens).
Version 0.4.0
-------------
Released on September 24 2013.
- 'validate_update' is deprecated and will be removed with next release. Use
'validate' with 'update=True' instead. Closes :issue:`21`.
- Fixed a minor encoding issue which made installing on Windows/Python3
impossible. Closes :issue:`19` (Arsh Singh).
- Fix documentation typo (Daniele Pizzolli).
- 'type' validation is always performed first (only exception being
'nullable'). On failure, subsequent rules on the same field are skipped.
Closes :issue:`18`.
Version 0.3.0
-------------
Released on July 9 2013.
- docstrings now conform to PEP8.
- `self.errors` returns an empty list if validate() has not been called.
- added validation for the 'float' data type.
- 'nullable' rule added to allow for null field values to be accepted in
validations. This is different than required in that you can actively change
a value to None instead of omitting or ignoring it. It is essentially the
ignore_none_values, allowing for more fine grained control down to the field
level (Kaleb Pomeroy).
Version 0.2.0
-------------
Released on April 18 2013.
- 'allow_unknown' option added.
Version 0.1.0

- 'transparent_schema_rules' option added.
- 'empty' rule for string fields.
