.. currentmodule:: sortedcontainers

2.1.0 (2018-11-21)
------------------

**Miscellaneous**

* Small updates to docs and tests for Python 3.7.

2.0.5 (2018-09-03)
------------------

**Bugfixes**

* Change imports for Abstract Base Classes to `collections.abc` to avoid
  warnings in Python 3.7.

2.0.4 (2018-06-06)
------------------

**Bugfixes**

* `SortedDict` methods `iterkeys`, `iteritems`, `itervalues`, `viewkeys`,
  `viewitems`, and `viewvalues` are not implemented for Python 2. Attribute
  lookup now raises :exc:`AttributeError`.

2.0.3 (2018-05-31)
------------------

**API Changes**

* Accessing `SortedDict.iloc` will emit `DeprecationWarning`.

**Bugfixes**

* `SortedSet.__rsub__` erroneously reversed its arguments. The method has been
  removed in favor of the inherited `Set.__rsub__` which has a correct
  implementation.
* :class:`SortedKeysView` and :class:`SortedValuesView` set-operations now
  return :class:`SortedSet` objects to better match the semantics of version 1.

**Miscellaneous**

* The source distribution no longer contains the `docs` and `tests`
  directories. If you need these, then please download an archive from
  Github. Version control is tagged with the version released to PyPI.

2.0.2 (2018-05-21)
------------------

**API Changes**

* Add `SortedDict.iloc` for improved backwards compatibility with version 1.

2.0.1 (2018-05-18)
------------------

**Miscellaneous**

* Rename Github repo from `grantjenks/sorted_containers` to
  `grantjenks/python-sortedcontainers`.
* Fix broken links in documentation.

.. _v2:

2.0.0 (2018-05-18)
------------------

Version 2 represents a significant update to the source base. The code has been
refactored and modernized to embrace Python 3 semantics while also using
`autodoc` in Sphinx for more maintainable documentation. The core design and
algorithms are all the same. Sorted Containers still supports and is tested on
Python 2 but primary development is now on Python 3.6.

Version 2 is developed on the `master` branch in the source repository and
Version 1 of Sorted Containers will be maintained on branch `v1`.

Version 3 of Sorted Containers will be released sometime after January 1, 2020
and will drop support for Python 2.

At a high-level, changes can be categorized in three ways:

1. :class:`SortedList` methods `__setitem__`, `append`, `extend`, and `insert`
   all now raise :exc:`NotImplementedError`. Use `add` or `update`
   instead. Though it's possible to implement these methods, they were
   confusing, inefficient and wrongly used by some users. Sorted list
   implementations that need the functionality are encouraged to do so through
   subclassing. Branch `v1` contains a reference implementation.
2. :class:`SortedDict` now uses Python 3 semantics for dict views. The
   `iterkeys`, `iteritems`, `itervalues`, `viewkeys`, `viewitems`, and
   `viewvalues` methods have all been removed. Use the `keys`, `items`, or
   `values` methods which now return sorted dict views. :class:`SortedKeysView`
   has also replaced `SortedDict.iloc` as a better interface for indexing.
3. Method parameter names have changed to be more consistent with Python's
   built-in data types: `val` has changed to `value`, `idx` has changed to
   `index`, and `that` has changed to `other`.

**API Changes**

* :class:`SortedListWithKey` is deprecated. Use :class:`SortedKeyList` instead.
  The name `SortedListWithKey` remains as an alias for `SortedKeyList`. The
  alias will be removed in Version 3.
* `sortedcontainers.sortedlist.LOAD` has moved to
  `SortedList.DEFAULT_LOAD_FACTOR` so that derived classes can customize the
  value.
* `SortedList._half` and `SortedList._dual` have been removed. Use
  `SortedList._load` instead.

  ``-1``.
* `sorteddict.KeysView` renamed to :class:`SortedKeysView`.
* `sorteddict.ItemsView` renamed to :class:`SortedItemsView`.
* `sorteddict.ValuesView` renamed to :class:`SortedValuesView`.
* Sorted dict views rely on collections abstract base classes: dict views and
  sequence. The :func:`SortedKeysView.__getitem__`,
  :func:`SortedItemsView.__getitem__`, and :func:`SortedValuesView.__getitem__`
  methods are implemented and optimized. All other mixin methods use the
  default implementation provided by the base class. Prefer :class:`SortedDict`
  methods to view methods when possible.
