0.8.0

Full changelog

This release adds two new validators and a handful of new parameters to existing validators.

It also introduces two breaking changes, which in practice shouldn't really affect anyone negatively, and one deprecation of an existing validator parameter. See the changes below.

Added

• AllowEmptyString: New wrapper validator that accepts empty strings (by @TomasHalgas). #91
• DiscardValidator: New validator that discards any input and always returns a predefined value. #94
• EmailValidator and RegexValidator: Add parameter allow_empty to allow empty strings (by @TomasHalgas). #89
• EmailValidator: Add parameter max_length. #97
• DecimalValidator: Add parameter rounding to specify rounding mode (with a new default, see "Changed"). #99

Changed

• Breaking change: AnyOfValidator and EnumValidator are now case-sensitive by default. #98
  • The parameter case_insensitive is replaced with a new parameter case_sensitive which defaults to True.
  • The old parameter is still supported for compatibility, but is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
  • If you have set case_insensitive=True before, you can simply remove this parameter now as this is the default now.
• Breaking change: DecimalValidator (and all subclasses) now uses decimal.ROUND_HALF_UP as default rounding mode. #99
  • Until now, the rounding mode of the current decimal context was used, which defaults to decimal.ROUND_HALF_EVEN.
  • Use the rounding parameter to change this. To restore the old behavior and use the decimal context, set rounding=None.

Deprecated

• AnyOfValidator and EnumValidator: The parameter case_insensitive is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version. (See "Changed" above.) #98

Testing

• Fix version incompatibility in test suite. #95
• AnyOfValidator: Add unit tests with an empty list for allowed values. #96

New contributors

• @TomasHalgas made their first contributions in #89 and #91.
