Fixed

• A bug shortening names in the iterable of a comprehension when the original name was also used as a target in the comprehension
  e.g. def f(x): return [x for x in x] would be incorrectly minified to def f(x):return[A for A in A], instead of def f(x):return[A for A in x].

Added

• New transforms that together work similarly to Python's -O option
  • Remove asserts, which removes assert statements and is disabled by default
  • Remove debug, which removes any if block that tests __debug__ is True and is disabled by default

Changed

• When minifiying a directory, files ending with '.pyw' will now be minified.

Added

• Python 3.11 support, including exception groups syntax

Changed

• Improved detection of dataclasses when using the remove annotations transform, which suppresses removal of annotations for those classes

Fixed

• Renamed nonlocal names could be incorrect if the name isn't local in the immediate parent function scope.
  (or it was bound in the immediate parent, but after the definition of the nested scope)

Added

• A new option to preserve the shebang line from the source file, which is enabled by default
• More flexible file processing options for the pyminify command:
  • A new --output argument for writing the minified output to a file without having to use shell redirection
  • A new --in-place option which overwrites the specified path with the minified output
  • path arguments may be directories, which minifies all *.py files below that directory
  • Multiple path arguments may be specified, which will all be minified
• Type information is included in the package to enable type checking of the public functions

Fixed

• No longer assumes files read from stdin are utf-8.

Added

• Support for Python 3.10, including pattern matching syntax

Changed

• Makes better decisions about when renaming is space efficient

Fixed

• Rare Exceptions when encountering empty f-string str parts
• Missing required parentheses in return statements for iterable unpacking in python <3.8
• Missing parentheses in some complex dict expansions

Removed

• Python 2.6 support

Changed

• When the remove annotation transformation is enabled, annotations are preserved on detected usage of TypedDict or NamedTuple

Added

• Support for Python 3.9, including:
  • PEP 614 - Relaxing Grammar Restrictions On Decorators

Fixed

• await keyword can now be used in f-string expression parts

Fixed

• args and kwargs could have been renamed incorrectly in Python 2.6/2.7, particularly when reminifying a file
