Release 7.0

• Pre-check if everything requested is really available in PyPI before starting to install them

• Ignore duplicated dependencies

• Several enhancements and fixes in the messages fades shows in verbose mode

• Forbid fades misusing: installing it with legacy Python and running it from inside another virtualenv

• Lot of project related improvements (not visible directly to final user, though) and some small bug fixes

Release v6

What's new in this release?

• Install not only from PyPI but also from remote code repositories (GitHub, Bitbucket, Launchpad, etc) and local directories

    fades -d git+https://github.com/yandex/[email protected]

    fades -d file://$PATH_TO_PROJECT

• Created a video to showcase the most relevant fades features

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCTd_TyCm98

• Select the best virtualenv from the stored ones in the case of multiple matching

• Added a --clean-unused-venvs option to remove all virtualenvs not used in the last indicated days

    fades --clean-unused-venvs=30

• Added a --pip-options to pass any needed parameters to the underlying pip call

    fades -d requests --pip-options="--no-cache-dir"

• Properly return a code != 0 if fades process failed in any way

• Now the virtualenv /bin path is added to the child PATH before execution

• Remove the just created virtualenv if its setup failed somehow (not leaving unused/untracked directories)

• Issue a WARNING if fades is executed from a virtualenv (it shouldn't)

• Better behaviour when CTRL-C is sent to an interactive interpreter running under fades

• Support missing virtualenv directories: if a virtualenv was found in the cache check if it is valid, otherwise re-create it

• Added infrastructure for fades to be packaged and run as a Snap

    snap install fades

• Better multiplatformy locking to exclude two simultaneous fades runs messing with internal files

• Instructions to install using 'brew'

• Alert the user that the one doing background stuff is fades

• Better README and documentation in general

• Improved version description to be more standards compliant

• Other minor improvements and bug fixes

Nicolás and I want to say a big thank you to the following collaborators that helped to improve and enhance fades in different ways for this version (in alphabetical order):

• Ariel Rossanigo
• David Litvak Bruno
• FaQ
• Filipe Ximenes
• Gera
• Juan Carizza
• Lucio Torre
• Manuel Kaufmann
• Martin Alderete

Release v4

• New option to use iPython as the interactive interpreter: --ipython (thanks Ariel Rossanigo).

• Now it's possible to execute a program inside the virtualenv, with -x (thanks Ricardo Kirkner).

  For example, it's possible to create a django project without needing django installed in your system, just doing:

  fades -d django -x manage startproject foo

• Can execute fades as a Python's module (thanks Javi Mansilla)

• Support using Python 3.3 to run fades

• If you want to fiddle with lower layers options, we have several optionsfor you:

  • you can send parameters to virtualend with --virtualenv-options
  • also to pip, with --pip-options
  • it's possible to remove a managed-by-fades virtualenv with --rm <uuid>

• We have a logo!

• Now we run the fades tests using fades itself, no need to install anything previously

• You can create virtualenvs with --system-site-packages

• Other minor bugfixes and improvements

Release 2.0

• Have a system-wide cache for created virtualenvs: improves reusing
  and speed
• As a result of previous feature, don't store metadata per-script
  (in the script) anymore
• Allow to indicate the project name if the module is different
  (e.g. "import bs4 # fades.pypi beautifulsoup4 == 3.5")
• Support complex version requirements (e.g. "<2.6,>1.3,!=1.9")
• Handle packages that whose names are changed by pip
• Other minor bugfixes and improvements
