=========

This document describes all the changes in *Dependency Injector* framework 
that were made in every particular version.

From version 0.7.6 *Dependency Injector* framework strictly 
follows `Semantic versioning`_

Development version
-------------------
- Add possibility to specialize ``Factory`` provided type.
- Add possibility to specialize ``Singleton`` provided type.
- Add possibility to specialize ``DeclarativeCatalog`` provider type.
- Add possibility to specialize ``DynamicCatalog`` provider type.
- Make some refactorings for providers.

1.11.2
------
- Improve representation of providers and injections.

1.11.1
------
Previous state of *Dependency Injector* framework (0.11.0 version) is 
considered to be production ready / stable, so current release is considered 
to be the first major release.

- Increase major version. 
- Backward compatibility with all previous versions above 0.7.6 has been saved.

0.11.0
------
- Rename ``AbstractCatalog`` to ``DeclarativeCatalog`` 
  (with backward compatibility).
- Rename ``catalog`` module to ``catalogs`` with backward compatibility.
- Implement dynamic binding of providers for ``DeclarativeCatalog``.
- Add ``DynamicCatalog``.
- Change restrictions for providers-to-catalogs bindings - provider could be 
  bound to several catalogs with different names.
- Restrict overriding of providers by themselves.
- Restrict overriding of catalogs by themselves.
- Make ``DeclarativeCatalog.last_overriding`` attribute to be ``None`` by 
  default.
- Make ``Provider.last_overriding`` attribute to be ``None`` by 
  default.
- Refactor catalogs and providers modules.
- Add API documentation
- Improve user's guides and examples.

0.10.5

  ``AbstractCatalog.Bundle``.

0.10.4
------

0.10.3

- Update example docblocks.

0.10.2

0.10.1
------
- Update some examples.

0.10.0
------
- Add functionality for creating ``AbstractCatalog`` provider bundles.
- Improve ``AbstractCatalog`` inheritance.
- Improve ``AbstractCatalog`` overriding.
- Add images for catalog "Writing catalogs" and "Operating with catalogs" 
  examples.
- Add functionality for using positional argument injections with 
  ``Factory``, ``Singleton``, ``Callable`` providers and 
  ``inject`` decorator.
- Add functionality for decorating classes with ``@inject``.
- Add ``Singleton.injections`` attribute that represents a tuple of all 
  ``Singleton`` injections (including args, kwargs, attributes and methods).
- Add ``Callable.injections`` attribute that represents a tuple of all 
  ``Callable`` injections (including args and kwargs).
- Add optimization for ``Injection.value`` property that will compute 
  type of injection once, instead of doing this on every call.
- Add ``VERSION`` constant for verification of currently installed version.
- Add support of Python 3.5.
- Add support of six 1.10.0.
- Add minor refactorings and code style fixes.

0.9.5
-----
- Change provider attributes scope to public.
- Add ``Factory.injections`` attribute that represents a tuple of all 
  ``Factory`` injections (including kwargs, attributes and methods).

0.9.4
-----
- Add minor documentation fixes.

0.9.3
-----
- Implement thread safety.

0.9.2
-----
- Add minor refactorings.

0.9.1
-----
- Add simplified syntax of kwarg injections for ``di.Factory`` and 
  ``di.Singleton`` providers: 
  ``di.Factory(SomeClass, dependency1=injectable_provider_or_value)``.
- Add simplified syntax of kwarg injections for ``di.Callable`` provider:
  ``di.Callable(some_callable, dependency1=injectable_provider_or_value)``
- Add simplified syntax of kwarg injections for ``@di.inject`` decorator:
  ``@di.inject(dependency1=injectable_provider_or_value)``.
- Optimize ``@di.inject()`` decorations when they were made several times for 
  the same callback.
- Add minor refactorings.
- Fix of minor documentation issues.

0.8.1
-----
- ``Objects`` is renamed to ``Dependency Injector``.

0.7.8
-----
- Fixing @inject import bug in examples.

0.7.7
-----
- Fixing minor bug in concept example.

0.7.6
-----

- Adding support of six from 1.7.0 to 1.9.0. 
- Factory / Singleton providers are free from restriction to operate with 
  classes only. This feature gives a change to use factory method and 
  functions with Factory / Singleton providers.
- All attributes of all entities that have to be protected was renamed using 
  ``_protected`` manner. 
- Providers extending was improved by implementing overriding logic in 
  ``Provider.__call__()`` and moving providing logic into 
  ``Provider._provide()``.
- ``NewInstance`` provider was renamed to ``Factory`` provider. 
  ``NewInstance`` still can be used, but it considered to be deprecated and 
  will be removed in futher releases.
- ``@inject`` decorator was refactored to keep all injections in 
  ``_injections`` attribute of decorated callback. It will give a possibilty to
  track all the injections of particular callbacks and gives some performance 
  boost due minimizing number of calls for doing injections.
- A lot of documentation updates were made.
- A lot of examples were added.
- Some minor refactorings were done.
