# rules_python Changelog

This is a human-friendly changelog in a keepachangelog.com style format.
Because this changelog is for end-user consumption of meaningful changes,only
a summary of a release's changes is described. This means every commit is not
necessarily mentioned, and internal refactors or code cleanups are omitted
unless they're particularly notable.

A brief description of the categories of changes:

* `Changed`: Some behavior changed. If the change is expected to break a
  public API or supported behavior, it will be marked as **BREAKING**. Note that
  beta APIs will not have breaking API changes called out.
* `Fixed`: A bug, or otherwise incorrect behavior, was fixed.
* `Added`: A new feature, API, or behavior was added in a backwards compatible
  manner.
* Particular sub-systems are identified using parentheses, e.g. `(bzlmod)` or
  `(docs)`.

## [0.25.0] - 2023-08-22

### Changed

* Python version patch level bumps:
  * 3.9.16 -> 3.9.17
  * 3.10.9 -> 3.10.12
  * 3.11.1 -> 3.11.4
* (bzlmod) `pip.parse` can no longer automatically use the default
  Python version; this was an unreliable and unsafe behavior. The
  `python_version` arg must always be explicitly specified.

### Fixed

* (docs) Update docs to use correct bzlmod APIs and clarify how and when to use
  various APIs.
* (multi-version) The `main` arg is now correctly computed and usually optional.
* (bzlmod) `pip.parse` no longer requires a call for whatever the configured
  default Python version is.

### Added

* Created a changelog.
* (gazelle) Stop generating unnecessary imports.
* (toolchains) s390x supported for Python 3.9.17, 3.10.12, and 3.11.4.
