Version v1.0.0 - unreleased

Changed

  • The minimum supported julia version is increased to 1.6. (#328)

Version v0.8.14 - 2025-08-04

Changed

  • Adapt to internal method table changes in Julia 1.12 and later. (#344)

Version v0.8.13 - 2025-05-28

Changed

  • Adapt to internal method table changes in Julia 1.12 and later. (#334)

Version v0.8.12 - 2025-05-05

Changed

  • Add test_undocumented_names to verify that all public symbols have docstrings (not including the module itself). This test is not enabled by default in test_all. (#313)

Version v0.8.11 - 2025-02-06

Changed

  • Avoid deprecation warnings concerning Base.isbindingresolved with julia nightly. (#322)

Version v0.8.10 - 2025-01-26

Changed

  • No longer call @testset for testsets that are skipped. (#319)

Version v0.8.9 - 2024-10-15

Changed

  • Change test_ambiguities to only return ambiguities that happen in the target package. (#309)

Version v0.8.8 - 2024-10-10

Changed

  • Improved the documentation of test_persisten_tasks. (#297)

Version v0.8.7 - 2024-04-09

  • Reverted #285, which was originally released in v0.8.6, but caused a regression. (#287, #288)

Version v0.8.6 - 2024-04-09

Changed

  • The output of test_ambiguities now gets printed to stderr instead of stdout. (#281)

Version v0.8.5 - 2024-04-03

Changed

  • When supplying broken = true to test_ambiguities, test_undefined_exports, test_piracies, or test_unbound_args, the output is shortened. In particular, the list of offending instances is no longer printed. To get the full output, set broken = false. (#272)
  • Use Changelog.jl to generate the changelog, and add it to the documentation. (#277, #279)
  • test_project_extras prints failures the same on all julia versions. In particular, 1.11 and nightly are no outliers. (#275)

Version v0.8.4 - 2023-12-01

Added

  • test_persistent_tasks now accepts an optional expr to run in the precompile package. (#255)
    • The expr option lets you test whether your precompile script leaves any dangling Tasks
    or Timers, which would make it unsafe to use as a dependency for downstream packages.

Version v0.8.3 - 2023-11-29

Changed

  • test_persistent_tasks is now less noisy. (#256)
  • Completely overhauled the documentation. Every test now has its dedicated page. (#250)

Version v0.8.2 - 2023-11-16

Changed

  • test_persistent_tasks no longer clears the environment of the subtask. Instead, it modifies LOAD_PATH directly to make stdlibs work. (#241)

Version v0.8.1 - 2023-11-16

Changed

  • test_persistent_tasks now redirects stdout and stderr of the created subtask. Furthermore, the environment of the subtask gets cleared to allow default values for JULIA_LOAD_PATH to work. (#240)

Version v0.8.0 - 2023-11-15

Added

  • Two additions check whether packages might block precompilation on Julia 1.10 or higher: (#174)
    • test_persistent_tasks tests whether "your" package can safely be used as a dependency for downstream packages. This test is enabled for the default testsuite test_all, but you can opt-out by supplying persistent_tasks=false to test_all. [BREAKING]
    • find_persistent_tasks_deps is useful if "your" package hangs upon precompilation: it runs test_persistent_tasks on all the things you depend on, and may help isolate the culprit(s).

Changed

  • In test_deps_compat, the two subtests check_extras and check_weakdeps are now run by default. (#202) [BREAKING]
  • test_deps_compat now requires compat entries for all dependencies. Stdlibs no longer get ignored. This change is motivated by similar changes in the General registry. (#215) [BREAKING]
  • test_ambiguities now excludes the keyword sorter of all excluded functions with keyword arguments as well. (#203)
  • test_piracy is renamed to test_piracies. (#230) [BREAKING]
  • test_ambiguities and test_piracies now return issues in a defined order. This order may change in a patch release of Aqua.jl. (#233)
  • Improved the message for test_project_extras failures. (#234)
  • test_deps_compat now requires a compat entry for julia This can be disabling by setting compat_julia = false. (#236) [BREAKING]

Removed

  • test_project_toml_formatting has been removed. Thus, the kwarg project_toml_formatting to test_all no longer exists. (#209) [BREAKING]

Version v0.7.4 - 2023-10-24

Added

  • test_deps_compat has two new kwargs check_extras and check_weakdeps to extend the test to these dependency categories. They are not run by default. (#200)

Changed

  • The docstring for test_stale_deps explains the situation with package extensions. (#203)
  • The logo of Aqua.jl has been updated. (#128)

Version v0.7.3 - 2023-09-25

Added

  • test_deps_compat has a new kwarg broken to mark the test as broken using Test.@test_broken. (#193)

Fixed

  • test_piracy no longer prints warnings for methods where the third argument is a TypeVar. (#188)

Version v0.7.2 - 2023-09-19

Changed

  • test_undefined_exports additionally prints the modules of the undefined exports in the failure report. (#177)

Version v0.7.1 - 2023-09-05

Fixed

  • test_piracy no longer reports type piracy in the kwsorter, i.e. kwcall should no longer appear in the report. (#171)

Version v0.7.0 - 2023-08-29

Added

  • Installation and usage instructions to the documentation. (#159)

Changed

  • test_ambiguities now allows to exclude non-singleton callables. Excluding a type means to exclude all methods of the callable (sometimes also called "functor") and the constructor. (#144) [BREAKING]
  • test_piracy considers more functions. Callables and qualified names are now also checked. (#156) [BREAKING]

Fixed

  • test_ambiguities prints less unnecessary whitespace. (#158)
  • test_ambiguities no longer hangs indefinitely when there are many ambiguities. (#166)

Version v0.6.7 - 2023-09-19

Changed

  • test_undefined_exports additionally prints the modules of the undefined exports in the failure report. (#177)

Fixed

  • test_ambiguities prints less unnecessary whitespace. (#158)
  • Fix test_piracy for some methods with arguments of custom subtypes of Function. (#170)

Version v0.6.6 - 2023-08-24

Fixed

  • test_ambiguities no longer hangs indefinitely when there are many ambiguities. (#166)

Version v0.6.5 - 2023-06-26

Fixed

  • Typo when calling kwargs. (#153)

Version v0.6.4 - 2023-06-25

Added

  • test_piracy has a new kwarg treat_as_own. It is useful for testing packages that deliberately commit some type piracy, e.g. modules adding higher-level functionality to a lightweight C-wrapper, or packages that are extending StatsAPI.jl. (#140)

Changed

  • Explanation of test_unbound_args in the docstring. (#146)

Fixed

  • Callable objects with type parameters no longer error in test_ambiguities' kwarg exclude. (#142)

Version v0.6.3 - 2023-06-05

Changed

  • When installing a method for a union type, it is only reported by test_piracy if all types in the union are foreign (instead of any for arguments). (#131)

Fixed

  • test_deps_compat's kwarg ignore now works as intended. (#130)
  • Weakdeps are not reported as stale by test_stale_deps anymore. (#135)

Version v0.6.2 - 2023-06-02

Added

  • test_ambiguities, test_undefined_exports, test_piracy, and test_unbound_args each have a new kwarg broken to mark the test as broken using Test.@test_broken. (#124)

Changed

  • test_piracy now prints the offending methods in a more readable way. (#93)
  • Extend test_project_toml_formatting to docs/Project.toml. (#115)

Fixed

  • test_stale_deps no longer fails if any of the loaded packages prints during loading. (#113)
  • Clarified the error message of test_unbound_args. (#103)
  • Clarified the error message of test_project_toml_formatting. (#122)
