Release history and notes
=========================
`Sequence based identifiers

  0.3 to 0.3.4).
- Minor version changes might be backwards incompatible. Read the
  release notes carefully before upgrading (for example, when upgrading from
  0.3.4 to 0.4).

0.8
---
2018-06-13

.. note::

    This release contains backward incompatible changes. You should update
    your code.

    Old ``get_tld`` functionality is moved to ``get_fld`` (first-level
    domain definition). The ``as_object`` argument (False by default) has been
    deprecated for ``get_fld``.

    .. code-block:: python

        res = get_tld("http://www.google.co.uk", as_object=True)

    **Old behaviour**

    .. code-block:: text

        In: res.domain
        Out: 'google'

        In: res.extension
        Out: 'co.uk'

        In: res.subdomain
        Out: 'www'

        In: res.suffix
        Out: 'co.uk'

        In: res.tld
        Out: 'google.co.uk'

    **New behaviour**

    .. code-block:: text

        In: res.fld
        Out: 'google.co.uk'

        In: res.tld
        Out: 'co.uk'

        In: res.domain
        Out: 'google'

        In: res.subdomain
        Out: 'www'

    When used without ``as_object`` it returns ``co.uk``.

    **Recap**

    If you have been happily using old version of ``get_tld`` function without
    ``as_object`` argument set to ``True``, you might want to replace ``get_tld``
    import with ``get_fld`` import:

    .. code-block:: python

        # Old
        from tld import get_tld
        get_tld('http://google.co.uk')

        # New
        from tld import get_fld
        get_fld('http://google.co.uk')

- Move to a Trie to match TLDs. This brings a speed up of 15-20%.
- It's now possible to search in public, private or all suffixes (old
  behaviour). Use ``search_public`` and ``search_private`` arguments accordingly.
  By default (to support old behavior), both are set to True.
- Correct TLD definitions.
- Domains like `*****.xn--fiqs8s` are now recognized as well.
- Due to usage of ``urlsplit`` instead of ``urlparse``, the initial list of TLDs
  is assembled quicker (a speed-up of 15-20%).
- Docs/ directory is included in source distribution tarball.
- More tests.

-----
2017-02-19

-----
2017-02-09

- Tested against Python 3.5, 3.6 and PyPy.
