Changed

• Modernised packaging and ensure Python 3.8-3.9 are tested on CI. No
  functional changes.

Added

• autorepr and ReprHelperMixin now use reprlib.recursive_repr if
  available. (#3)

Changed

• autorepr now assigns one namedtuple to cls._represent instead of using
  three different class variables as before.

Fixed

• Deprecation warnings were always raised instead of only when deprecated
  names were imported.

Added

• More tests for areas missing from code coverage.
• Links in the README to readthedocs and codecov.

Fixed

• autorepr wouldn't create methods if a subclass had the same name as its
  parent. This check has been removed.

Added

• autorepr class decorator to replace ReprMixin. autorepr is a much
  cleaner solution, moving errors to class creation time instead of during
  __init__. There are no caveats with pickling anymore.

Deprecated

The following names will raise deprecation warnings. They will be removed
completely in 2.0.0.

• ReprMixin
• ReprMixinBase

Fixed

• __slots__ added to ReprHelperMixin to allow subclasses to use __slots__.

Added

• BaseReprHelper, base class for ReprHelper and PrettyReprHelper to handle common functionality and enforce same API and docstrings.
• BaseReprHelper.parantheses tuple can be set to something other than normal brackets, e.g. ('<', '>')

Fixed

• BaseReprHelper.keyword_from_attr parameter names swapped. attr_name used to refer to keyword name, which doesn't make sense.

Added

• ReprHelperMixin to simplify manual generation

Fixed

• PrettyReprHelper.positional_from_attr() didn't check for cycle, causing recursion limit to be reached for self-referential objects.

Fixed

• __init__.py was missing from represent.compat, so wasn't packaged for PyPI.

Changed

• RepresentationMixin has been renamed to ReprMixin.
• RepresentationHelper has been renamed to ReprHelper.
• PrettyRepresentationHelper has been renamed to PrettyReprHelper.

Added

• ReprMixinBase is available if user does not want to inherit __getstate__ and __setstate__ from ReprMixin.
• Documentation about Pickle support for ReprMixin (#2)

Deprecated

These aliases will raise deprecation warnings:

• RepresentationMixin
• RepresentationHelper
• PrettyRepresentationHelper

• Add pickle support by instantiating RepresentationMixin in __setstate__.
