# History

## 2.0.0 (2020-05-16)

### Breaking changes

- The `Row.lpush/rpush` logic was reversed. `lpush` was appending while `rpush`
  and `append` were prepending. This was fixed (reversed behavior). If you
  counted on the broken behavior, please update your code (#453).

### Bugfixes

- Fixed minimal openpyxl dependency version to 2.6.0 (#457).
- Dates from xls files are now read as Python datetime objects (#373).
- Allow import of "ragged" xlsx files (#465).

### Improvements

- When importing an xlsx file, Tablib will now read cell values instead of formulas (#462).

## 1.1.0 (2020-02-13)

### Deprecations

- Upcoming breaking change in Tablib 2.0.0: the `Row.lpush/rpush` logic is reversed.
  `lpush` is appending while `rpush` and `append` are prepending. The broken behavior
  will remain in Tablib 1.x and will be fixed (reversed) in Tablib 2.0.0 (#453). If you
  count on the broken behavior, please update your code when you upgrade to Tablib 2.x.

### Improvements

- Tablib is now able to import CSV content where not all rows have the same
  length. Missing columns on any line receive the empty string (#226).

## 1.0.0 (2020-01-13)

### Breaking changes

- Dropped Python 2 support
- Dependencies are now all optional. To install `tablib` as before with all
  possible supported formats, run `pip install tablib[all]`

### Improvements

- Formats can now be dynamically registered through the
  `tablib.formats.registry.refister` API (#256).
- Tablib methods expecting data input (`detect_format`, `import_set`,
  `Dataset.load`, `Databook.load`) now accepts file-like objects in addition
  to raw strings and bytestrings (#440).

### Bugfixes

- Fixed a crash when exporting an empty string with the ReST format (#368)
- Error cells from imported .xls files contain now the error string (#202)

## 0.14.0 (2019-10-19)

### Deprecations

- The 0.14.x series will be the last to support Python 2

### Breaking changes

- Dropped Python 3.4 support

### Improvements

- Added Python 3.7 and 3.8 support
- The project is now maintained by the Jazzband team, https://jazzband.co
- Improved format autodetection and added autodetection for the odf format.
- Added search to all documentation pages
- Open xlsx workbooks in read-only mode (#316)
- Unpin requirements
- Only install backports.csv on Python 2

### Bugfixes

- Fixed `DataBook().load` parameter ordering (first stream, then format).
- Fixed a regression for xlsx exports where non-string values were forced to
  strings (#314)
- Fixed xlsx format detection (which was often detected as `xls` format)

## 0.13.0 (2019-03-08)

- Fixed Unicode error for the CSV export on Python 2 (#215)
- Removed usage of optional `ujson` (#311)
- Dropped Python 3.3 support

## 0.12.1 (2017-09-01)

## 0.11.0 (2016-02-07)

### New Formats!

- Added LaTeX table export format (`Dataset.latex`).
- Support for dBase (DBF) files (`Dataset.dbf`).

### Improvements

- New import/export interface (`Dataset.export()`, `Dataset.load()`).
- CSV custom delimiter support (`Dataset.export('csv', delimiter='$')`).
- Adding ability to remove duplicates to all rows in a dataset (`Dataset.remove_duplicates()`).
- Added a mechanism to avoid `datetime.datetime` issues when serializing data.
- New `detect_format()` function (mostly for internal use).
- Update the vendored unicodecsv to fix `None` handling.
- Only freeze the headers row, not the headers columns (xls).

### Breaking Changes

- Fix XLSX import.
- Bugfix for `Dataset.transpose().transpose()`.
