dev

  • Fix an issue with recursion in completion expansion crashing zsh, contributed by blueyed.

4.1.1

  • Fix packaging issue with 4.1.

4.1

  • Ensure that all $() style commands that produce paths are quoted. Addresses issue 164.
  • Add wipeenv command for removing all packages installed in the virtualenv.
  • Allow users of virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh to extend the list of API commands that trigger the lazy-loader by extending _VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_API. Patch contributed by John Purnell, see issue 188.
  • Fix detection of --python option to mkvirtualenv. Resolves issue 190.

  • Fix lsvirtualenv when there are spaces in WORKON_HOME. Resolves issue 194.
  • Switch to pbr for packaging.

4.0

Warning: This release includes some potentially incompatible changes for extensions. The python modules for extensions are now always run with PWD=$WORKON_HOME (previously the value of PWD varied depending on the hook). The shell portion of any hook (anything sourced by the user’s shell when the hook is run) is still run in the same place as before.

  • All tests pass under Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3.
  • Fix the name of the script in an error message produced by virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh. (Contributed by scottstvnsn.)

3.7.1

  • Rename functions for generating help so they do not pollute the global namespace, and especially so they do not interfere with tab completion. Contributed by davidszotten.
  • Fix an issue with listing project templates if none are installed. (issue 179)
  • Fix an issue with the --python option to mkvirtualenv becoming sticky for future calls that do not explicitly specify the option. (issue 178)

3.7

  • Improve tab-completion support for users of the lazy-loading mode. (upsuper)
  • Add --help option to mkproject.
  • Add --help option to workon.
  • Turn off logging from the hook loader by default, and replace VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_LOG_DIR environment variable with VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_LOG_FILE. The rotating log behavior remains the same. The motivation for this change is the race condition caused by that rotating behavior, especially when the wrappers are being used by users with different permissions and umasks. (issue 152)
  • Use flake8 for style checking.

3.6.1

  • Replace realpath with a more portable way of converting a relative path to an absolute path, used with the --python option to mkvirtualenv (contributed by Radu Voicilas, rvoicilas).
  • Posted release to PyPI, resolving download redirect issue. (issue 171 and issue 172)

3.6

  • Switch to stevedore for plugin management
  • mkvirtualenv_help should use $VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON instead of calling virtualenv directly (issue 148).
  • Fix issue with lazy-loader code under zsh (issue 144).
  • Fix issue with noclobber option under zsh (issue 137). Fix based on patch from rob_b.
  • Fix documentation for add2virtualenv to show the correct name for the file containing the new path entry. (contributed by rvoicilas)
  • Fix problem with virtualenvwrapper_show_workon_options under zsh with chpwd functions that produce output. (issue 153)

3.5

  • Rewrite cpvirtualenv to use virtualenv-clone instead of making the new environment relocatable. Contributed by Justin Barber (barberj). This also resolves a problem with cpvirtualenv not honoring the --no-site-packages flag (issue 102).
  • Update docs with link to virtualenvwrapper-win port by David Marble.
  • Use command to avoid functions named the same as common utilities. (issue 119)

3.4

3.3

  • Clean up file permissions and remove shebangs from scripts not intended to be executed on the command line. (contributed by ralphbean)
  • Worked on some brittle tests.
  • Received updates to Japanese translation of the documentation from t2y.
  • Fix the test script and runner so the user’s $WORKON_HOME is not erased if they do not have some test shells installed. (big thanks to agriffis).
  • If the hook loader is told to list plugins but is not given a hook name, it prints the list of core hooks.
  • Merge several fixes for path and variable handling for MSYS users from bwanamarko. Includes a fix for issue 138.
  • Change mkvirtualenv so it catches both -h and --help.
  • Fix some issues with the way temporary files are used for hook scripts. (contributed by agriffis)
  • Allow relative path to requirements file with mkvirtualenv and -r option. (barberj)
  • Make whitespace consistent. (agriffis)

3.2

  • Make project_dir a local variable so that cdproject does not interfere with other variables the user might have set. (contributed by slackorama)
  • Fix typo in documentation reported by Nick Martin.
  • Change trove classifier for license “MIT” to reflect the license text presented in the documentation. This does not indicate a change in the license, just a correction to the expression of that intent. See :ref:`license` (contributed by ralphbean as fix for issue 134)
  • Extend rmvirtualenv to allow removing more than one environment at a time. (contributed by ciberglo)
  • Change the definition of virtualenvwrapper_get_site_packages_dir to ask distutils for the site-packages directory instead of trying to build the path ourselves in the shell script. This should resolve issue 112 and improve support for Python interpreters other than C Python. Thanks to Carl Meyer and Dario Bertini for their contributions toward the fix.

3.1

  • Fix a problem with activation hooks when associating a new virtualenv with an existing project directory. (issue 122)
  • Fix a problem with command-add2virtualenv and paths containing “special” characters such as &. (issue 132)

  • Add Python 3 support, thanks in large part to the efforts of Daniel Kraus (dakra). Tested under Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2.

2.11.1

  • Remove the initialization shortcut because it breaks tab completion in sub-shell environments like screen and tmux. (issue 121)

2.11

  • Add -a option to mkvirtualenv to associate a new virtualenv with an existing project directory. Contributed by Mike Fogel (mfogel).
  • Drops support for Python 2.4 and 2.5. The tools may still work, but I no longer have a development environment set up for testing them, so I do not officially support them.
  • Shortcut initialization if it has run before.
  • Set hook log file permissions to be group-writable. (issue 62 reported by hedgeddown)
  • Add VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PROJECT_FILENAME variable so the .project file used to link a virtualenv to a project can be renamed to avoid conflicts with other tools. (issue 120 reported by arthuralvim)

2.10.1

2.10

  • Incorporated patch to add -d option to command-add2virtualenv, contributed by miracle2k.

  • Fix a problem with the way template names were processed under zsh. (issue 111)

2.9

  • Change the shell function shell definition syntax so that ksh will treat typeset-declared variables as local. No kidding.
  • Merge the “project directory” features of the virtualenvwrapper.project plugin into the main project, adding mkproject, cdproject, and setvirtualenvproject commands.
  • Add -r option to mkvirtualenv to install dependencies using a pip requirements file.

2.8

  • Set VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_HOOK_DIR and VIRTUALENV_WRAPPER_LOG DIR in virtualenvwrapper_initialize after WORKON_HOME is set (issue 94).
  • Update the Instalación básica instructions to be more explicit about needing to install virtualenvwrapper globally (or at least outside of a virtualenv).

2.7

  • Fix problem with space in WORKON_HOME path (issue 79).
  • Fix problem with argument processing in lsvirtualenv under zsh (issue 86). Thanks to Nat Williams (natw) for the bug report and patch.

  • Merge in contributions from Paul McLanahan (pmclanahan) to fix the test harness to ensure that the test scripts are actually running under the expected shell.

  • Document the VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV variable.
  • Implement suggestion by Van Lindberg to have VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_HOOK_DIR and VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_LOG_DIR variables to control the locations of hooks and logs.

  • Fixed a problem with running rmvirtualenv from within the environment being removed (issue 83).
  • Removed use of -e option in calls to grep for better portability (issue 85).

2.6.3

  • Hard-code the version information in the setup.py and conf.py scripts. This still doesn’t work for http://readthedocs.org, since the doc build needs the sphinxcontrib.bitbucket extension, but will make it easier to transition the docs to another site later.
