• Support PyPy 3.11 (PPA rolling from 3.10)

1.1.0 - 2025-02-18

• Support KeyDB as an protocol-compatible alternative to Redis (no code change i.e. previous versions also worked)

• Support Python 3.13, drop support for Python 3.8 (end-of-life)

• Support PyPy 3.10 (PPA rolling from 3.9)

• Use Heptapod Pages to host documentation (readthedocs.org is obsolete)

• Support dynamic TTL for cache entries (#13)

1.0.0 - 2024-03-10

• Support Python 3.11 and 3.12, drop Python 3.7 support

• Support PyPy 3.9 (moving from 3.7)

• Separate API reference from other content in documentation

• Promote asyncio support to “provisional” status

• Integrate asv for performance testing and run it in CI

0.10.0 - 2022-01-03

• Experimental asyncio coroutine function caching support

• Use own error type, HermesError

• Turn cachedcls keyword-only argument for a custom Cached classes into cachedfactory for a custom factory function returning a sublcass of Cached depending on the wrapped callable

• Simplify hermes.backend.AbstractBackend.save to only accept a mapping as the positional argument

• Rename hermes.backend.dict to hermes.backend.inprocess

• Switch to supported Memcached client, pymemcache, drop python3-memcached and pylibmc. Because of that servers keyword argument passed to the client has become singular server

• Support Python 3.10

• Drop support for Python 3.6 implementations

0.9.0 - 2021-05-09

• Add Heptapod/Gitlab CI/CD

• Support Python 3.9

• Support PyPy 3.6 and 3.7

• Break down README.rst into multi-page Sphinx documentation

• API documentation improvement

• Change of arguments of dunder init of Hermes:

  • positional backendClass is renamed to backend. Actual argument can be a (sub)class or an instance of hermes.backend.AbstractBackend.

  • keyword manglerClass is renamed to mangler. It can only be an instance of Mangler.

  • keyword cachedClass is renamed to cachedcls.

• Change of arguments of dunder init of hermes.backend.redis.Backend and hermes.backend.memcached.Backend. Lock options are passed as lockconf dictionary at once.

• Serialisation and compression delegates, Serialiser and Compressor as the attributes of Mangler.

• Cache is compressed by default (zlib auto-level -1 which currently corresponds to level 6). Opt out by cache.mangler.compressor = None.

• Replace default hash function, Mangler.hash, with base64-encoded MD5.

0.8.0 - 2020-06-30

• Implement dict backend key expiration

• More strict argument passing

• Pass **kwargs to backends to be able to configure extra options

• Cache-point instances depend on Hermes frontend to access backend and mangler to be able to change backend in runtime

• Allow class-level cache-point object access

• Drop support for Python 2 and also 3.4, 3.5

• Support Python 3.7 and 3.8

• Integrate Flake8
