0.20.0
======

- Add support for targeting the Android platform.

Daniele Nicolodi, Malcolm Smith, Ralf Gommers --- 10-06-2026.


0.19.0
======

- Drop Python 3.8 support.
- Development-related extras were moved to dependency groups.
- Add support for targeting the iOS platform.
- The ``strip`` binary is now included in synthesized cross files.
- Documentation improvements: add more examples for specific use cases, and a
  contributing guide.
- Use trusted publishing with digital attestations to upload release artifacts
  to PyPI.

Andrew Annex, Daniele Nicolodi, Michał Górny, Ralf Gommers, Russell
Keith-Magee, Tobias Diez --- 14-01-2026.


0.18.0
======

- Drop Python 3.7 support.
- Bump minimum required Meson version to 0.64.0.
- Bump minimum required ``pyproject-metadata`` version to 0.9.0 to enable
  support for PEP 639.
- Bump minimum required ``packaging`` version to 23.2. ``pyproject-metadata``
  version 0.9.1 requires this version of ``packaging`` but fails to record the
  version requirement in the package metadata. Enforcing the version
  requirement in ``meson-python`` allows fixing possible dependency problems
  without having ``meson-python`` depend on a very recent
  ``pyproject-metadata`` release.
- Add support for PEP 639 metadata fields. Canonicalization and validation of
  the license expression requires ``packaging`` version 24.2 or later.
- Add support for declaring the ``licence`` and ``license-files`` as dynamic
  fields in ``pyproject.toml`` to extract the package license and license
  files from the ones declared via the ``project()`` call in
  ``meson.build``. This requires Meson version 1.6.0 or later.
- Add support for ``RPATH`` handling on SunOS.
- Include shared libraries built as part of the Meson project in the Python
  wheels also on Windows, when explicitly enabled via the
  ``tool.meson-python.allow-windows-internal-shared-libs`` project setting.
- Add support for symbolic links that point to files within the source tree.
  They are now included as regular files in the sdist archive.

Daniele Nicolodi, Marcel Telka, Ralf Gommers --- 30-04-2025.


0.17.1
======

- Update tests to work with newly released ``pyproject-metadata`` 0.9.0.
- Fix tests to work when not executed in a git work tree.

Daniele Nicolodi --- 23-10-2024.


0.17.0
======

- Refuse to build wheels targeting the limited API and free-threaded CPython:
  the free-threaded CPython build does not support the limited API yet.
- Always use UTF-8 encoding for writing Meson native and cross files. Always
  use UTF-8 encoding for reading read Meson introspection data and
  ``pyproject.toml``.
- Do not include uncommitted changes when creating source distributions.
  Previously, uncommitted changes to files under version control were
  included, but not untracked files. There was no strong use case for this
  behavior and it was too surprising to keep it.
- Make source distribution reproducible: use the modification time of
  ``pyproject.toml`` for the generated files in the source distribution
  archives.
- Disable the ``abi3`` wheel tag for PyPy when building wheels targeting the
  limited API: PyPy supports the limited API but not the stable ABI.
- Raise ``ImportError`` when the package rebuild fails when importing an
  editable install.
- Fix the wheel platform tag for GraalPy.
- Add ``.gitignore`` and ``.hgignore`` files to build directory if it is empty.
- Allow ``install_subdir()`` of missing directories.

Christian Clauss, Daniele Nicolodi, Jonathan J. Helmus, Leo Singer, Loïc
Estève, Michael Simacek, Ralf Gommers, Simon McVittie --- 19-10-2024.


0.16.0
======

- Correctly detect a wheel shipping shared libraries as being platform
  dependent also when it does not ship compiled executables or Python
  extension modules.
- Use 11.0 as minimum macOS platform ABI tag on arm64: lower versions
  do not exist on arm64.
- Improve parsing of the ``$ARCHFLAGS`` environment
  variable. Correctly handle repeated ``-arch`` flags.
- Do not break when trying to log filename containing Unicode
  characters that cannot be encoded in the encoding used by the
  standard output stream.
- Drop dependency on ``colorama`` on Windows.
- Suppress all uses of ANSI terminal escapes when logging to a stream
  that does not support them.
- Fix ANSI escape coloring of error messages.
- Respect the ``exclude_dirs`` and ``exclude_files`` arguments passed
  to the ``install_subdir()`` Meson function in editable installs too.
- Make ``pkgutil.iter_packages()`` work properly for modules loaded
  from editable installs.
- Add support for the ``custom_target()`` Meson function installing a
  directory.
- In editable installs, when a rebuild is triggered on module import,
  emit a message indicating that the package is being rebuilt but
  suppress any output when there is no work to do.

Daniele Nicolodi, Loïc Estève, Ralf Gommers --- 16-04-2024


0.15.0
======

- Enable compression for wheel files. The may result in several times
  smaller wheels.
- Require Meson 1.2.3 or later on Python 3.12 or later. Meson 1.2.3
  does not require anymore ``distutils``, allowing to remove the
  dependency on ``setuptools`` on Python 3.12 or later.
- Unconditionally require ``patchelf`` on Linux.  The ``patchelf``
  package is added to the build dependencies if a suitable
  ``patchelf`` executable is not find on the ``$PATH``. This avoids
  cases where ``meson setup`` was run twice during the build process
  to determine whether ``patchelf`` is required.
- Allow to configure the ``meson`` executable to use for the build
  process through the ``$MESON`` environment variable or the ``meson``
  key under ``[tool.meson-python]`` in ``pyproject.toml``.
- Fix wheel platform tag generation on FreeBSD.
- Extend support to other UNIX-like systems and make the tests pass on
  FreeBSD.
- Fix package name normalization in package metadata and improve
  package name validation.
- Fix ``RPATH`` handling when the build ``RPATH`` points to
  subdirectories of the build directory.
- Fix support for the Python limited C API when compiling for PyPy.
- Rename the ``builddir`` config-setting to ``build-dir``. For
  backwards compatibility, the ``buildir`` config-setting remains
  supported as an alias.

Christoph Reiter, Daniele Nicolodi, Elliott Sales de Andrade, Ralf Gommers,
Yue Yang --- 26-10-2023


0.14.0
======

- Do not run ``meson install`` to build a wheel. This was unnecessary
  as files are added to the wheel from the build and source
  directories. This does not affect the handling of ``meson install``
  options, which are interpreted by ``meson-python`` itself.
- Obey the ``--skip-subprojects`` when specified for the ``meson
  install`` command.
- Implement support for the ``exclude_directories`` and
  ``exclude_files`` arguments to Meson ``install_subdir()`` function
  and similar installation functions. This requires Meson version
  1.1.0 or later.
- Implement support for building wheels targeting the Python limited
  API. Extension modules targeting the Python limited API can be
  easily built starting with the upcoming Meson 1.3.0 release.
- When ``pyproject.toml`` does not contain a ``version`` field and
  ``version`` is not declared dynamic, raise an error instead of
  silently using the version declared in ``meson.build``.
- Fix the mtime of source files in the sdist tarball.
- Add ``objc`` and ``objcpp`` compilers to the cross file generated
  when the ``$ARCHFLAGS`` is set.
- Extensive documentation improvements.

Charles Brunet, Daniele Nicolodi, Henry Schreiner, Michał Górny, Ralf
Gommers --- 05-09-2023


0.13.2
======

- Fix system name in cross file generated when using ``$ARCHFLAGS``.
- Fix handling of ``null`` Meson install tags.

Charles Brunet, Daniele Nicolodi --- 22-06-2023.


0.13.1
======

- Fix regression in cross-compilation via ``$ARCHFLAGS`` on macOS where the
  cross file was written in the build directory before it was created,
  resulting in an error.
- Do not require setting ``$_PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM`` when cross-compiling via
  ``$ARCHFLAGS`` on macOS.
- Add the ``--quiet`` option when invoking ``meson install``. The installation
  paths are a detail of the ``meson-python`` implementation and are generally
  not interesting for the user.
- Fix terminal logging when overriding the current line when listing files
  added to the wheel.
- Improve the error message emitted when a package split between the
  ``purelib`` and ``platlib`` wheel locations is detected.

Daniele Nicolodi, Ralf Gommers --- 28-04-2023.


0.13.0
======

- Add support for editable installs.
- Adjust the default build options passed to ``meson setup``.
- Make sure that the directory where the wheel or sdist build artifacts are
  created exists. Fixes building with PDM.
- Fix the specification of the C++ compiler for cross-compilation with
  ``$ARCHFLAGS`` on macOS.
- Pass the ``--reconfigure`` option to ``meson setup`` if and only if the
  specified build directory exists and is a valid Meson build directory.
- Pass the ``--no-rebuild`` option to ``meson install``.
- Allow to select the files to be included in the wheel via Meson install tags
  passing the ``--tags`` option to ``meson install`` via ``pyproject.toml`` or
  config settings.
- Do not use the ``meson compile`` indirection to build the project, except on
  Windows, where it is required to setup the Visual Studio environment.
- Do not add ``ninja`` to the build dependencies if ``$NINJA`` is set but it
  does not point to a ``ninja`` executable with the required minimum version.
- Verify at run time that Meson satisfies the minimum required version.
- Place native and cross files in the build directory instead of in the
  source directory.
- Drop the ``typing-extensions`` package dependency.
- Add dependency on ``setuptools`` on Python 3.12 and later. This fixes build
  error due to Meson depending on the ``distutils`` standard library module
  removed in Python 3.12.
- Bump the required ``pyproject-metadata`` version to 0.7.1.
- Allows some more cross-compilation setups by not checking extension modules
  filename suffixes against the suffixes accepted by the current interpreter.
- Raise an error when a file that would be installed by Meson cannot be mapped
  to a wheel location.
- Raise an error when a package is split between ``platlib`` and ``purelib``.
- Do not generate a warning when ``pyproject.toml`` does not contain a
  ``project`` section and Python package metadata is derived from ``meson.build``.
- Improve reporting of ``pyproject.toml`` validation errors.
- Fix validation of tool specific options in ``pyproject.toml``. In
  particular, allows to specify an incomplete set of options in the
  ``tool.meson-python.args`` table.

Daniele Nicolodi, Doron Behar, Eli Schwartz, Filipe Laíns, Lars Pastewka,
Luigi Giugliano, Matthias Köppe, Peter Urban, Ralf Gommers, Stefan van der
Walt, Thomas Li --- 18-04-2023.


0.12.1
======

- Fix regression where the ``$MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET`` environment variable
  was accidentally renamed to ``$MACOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET``.

Filipe Laíns, Stefan van der Walt --- 17-02-2023.


0.12.0
======

- Require the ``typing_extensions`` package for Python < 3.10 rather than for
  Python < 3.8 only.
- Emit an error message and raise ``SystemExit`` on expected errors.
- Revise error messages for consistency.
- Support setuptools-style macOS cross compilation via ``$ARCHFLAGS``.
- Allow to overwrite macOS platform tag via ``$_PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM``.
- Include an hint with the most similar known option names in the error
  message emitted when an unknown config setting is encountered.

Daniele Nicolodi, Filipe Laíns, Henry Schreiner, Matthias Köppe, Thomas A
Caswell --- 22-12-2022.


0.11.0
======

- Project moved to the ``mesonbuild`` organization.
- Determine wheel tags by introspecting the Python interpreter.
- Allow users to pass options directly to Meson via the ``dist``, ``setup``,
  ``compile``, and ``install`` entries in the ``tools.meson-python.args``
  table in ``pyproject.toml``, or via the ``dist-args``, ``setup-args``,
  ``compile-args``, and ``install-args`` config settings.
- Use the system ``ninja`` if possible. Return ``ninja`` as a build dependency
  otherwise.
- Include files generated by ``mesonadd_dist_script`` in the sdist.
- Use ``tomllib`` on Python 3.11 or later.
- Drop the ``wheel`` package dependency.
- Fix bug where the ``entry_points.txt`` file was not generated.
- Fix bug where Cygwin Python extensions were not being noticed.
