6.0.0 (2022-07-19)

Deprecations and Removals

• Removed support for --detox option.

• When uploading we no longer "register" the package first. That requirement was removed from PyPI and devpi-server for some time.

• Use sphinx-build command instead of setup.py build_sphinx when building documentation.

• Removed tox dependency, instead devpi test looks for the tox binary in the path.

• The --venv option will abort when no virtualenv exists at the location, it will not create a virtualenv anymore.

Features

• Fix #218: use new pip.conf location by default and warn if the legacy location exists.

• Fix #38: add --user/-u option to use command to limit index listing to a specific user.

• Fix #437: when the DEVPI_INDEX environment variable is set, it temporarily overwrites the current index.

• Fix #691: allow anonymous uploads if the server has acl_upload=:ANONYMOUS: set on index.

• Fix #863: allow --only-docs upload for files containing .docs. instead of .doc. and support gzipped tar files.

• The --user/-u option for devpi use can be used to switch the current user and the authentication data of previous logins is preserved.

• Use build <https://pypi.org/project/build/>_ package when possible and fall back to setup.py only for deprecated release types.

• When the DEVPI_USER environment variable is set, it temporarily overwrites the current user name.

• Support query strings on path for getjson command. This enables using ?no_projects=.

• The devpi index -l [username] command now actually lists indexes of other users and works without login.

• Fix #443 and #444: pass authentication info to pip via environment variable for devpi install and devpi test.

• When pushing to an external index with pypi:..., a PyPI token is detected and pypitoken is installed a new unique time limited token is derived for the upload.

• With devpi use --local a local configuration is created in the currently active virtualenv and automatically used as long as the virtualenv is activated.

• Warn if the server changes the scheme, host or port during devpi use.

• Using --list or --urls with use command and a URL won't change the current index anymore.

• Existing authentication data is validated on devpi use and removed if expired.

Bug Fixes

• Fix #562: encode username and url in devpiclient_get_password with sys.stdout.encoding.

• Fix #627: support --index option when no index is currently selected.

• Fix #808: Use mkdtemp from Python tempfile module to prevent permission and locking errors during devpi test and devpi upload.

• Fix #831: only download matching wheels if --select is in use.

• Give helpful error message when specified/configured virtualenv is missing.

Other Changes

• When there is no json error message only the HTML error code and reason is printed now, to get the full HTML output use the --debug flag.

5.2.3 (2021-11-15)

Bug Fixes

• Bump upper version limit on pluggy to <2.0.

5.2.2 (2021-02-19)

Bug Fixes

• fix #406: support --all to show all versions when listing more than one project.

• Pin tox to <4dev. The next major version of devpi-client will use tox as a binary to support newer versions.
