  • Enable more tests in the spec file by @LecrisUT in #400

Version 0.4.6#

This release has one small new feature (access to ${SKBUILD_STATE} from CMake), and fixes an issue when adding read-only files on Windows with Python 3.7. Some testing and docs infrastructure updates should make it easier for downstream packagers to ship scikit-build-core.

Fixes:

  • Provide access to current state in CMake by @henryiii in #394

Version 0.4.5#

This version fixes issues with output being incorrectly interleaved with logging messages. Symlinks are now followed when making SDists. And finally, SKBUILD_SOABI is now correctly set when cross-compiling on Windows (Warning! FindPython still does not report the correct SOABI when cross-compiling to ARM).

Fixes:

  • Proper printout ordering and more displayed details by @henryiii in #365

  • Sort RUNENV debugging log output by @jameslamb in #357

  • Follow symlinks when making SDists by @henryiii in #362

Version 0.4.4#

  • Conditional ABI3 logic fixed by @henryiii in #352

  • Set Python_SABI_LIBRARY by @henryiii in #352

  • Editable installs now support multiconfig generators by @henryiii in #353

This adds support for CPython 3.12.0b1, and improves Stable ABI / Limited API support (supported by an upcoming nanobind for Python 3.12). An editable install fix allows running from any directory.

Fixes:

  • Allow CMake to detect if limited API is targeted by @henryiii in #333 and #342

  • Make abi3 support conditional on Python version by @henryiii in #344

  • Refactor settings by @henryiii in #338

  • Document that CMAKE_ARGS supports space separators by @henryiii in #339

Version 0.4.2#

This is a quick followup to LICENSE file handing to closer match the current draft of PEP 639. It also removes the automatic optional Rich logging, which doesn’t work well with Pip’s subprocess piping, being cropped to a very narrow width regardless of terminal size.

Fixes:

  • Add License-file metadata entry & update default by @henryiii in #329

  • Drop optional Rich logging/error by @henryiii in #330

Other:

  • Update PyPI links by @henryiii in #331

Version 0.4.1#

A fix for LICENCE files being placed in the wrong place in the wheel. Now we follow hatchling’s structure of placing them in *.dist-info/licenses.

Fixes:

  • LICENCE files were placed in the wrong place by @henryiii in #325

Other:

  • Fix rpm inspect test failures by @LecrisUT in #324

Version 0.4.0#

An important fix/feature: LICENSE files were not being included in the wheel’s metadata folder. You can configure the license file selection via a new configuration option, and a reasonable default was added. You can now select a source directory for your CMakeLists.txt. A lot of work was done on the still experimental setuptools backend; it still should be seen as completely experimental while it is being finished.

Features:

  • cmake.source-dir for CMakeLists in subdirectories by @henryiii in #323

  • Add LICENSE file option by @henryiii in #321

Fixes:

  • Ninja wasn’t being used if present by @henryiii in #310

  • Wheels were not including the LICENSE file by @henryiii in #321

Setuptools plugin:

Fixes:

  • Support prefix dir if toolchain has CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PACKAGE ONLY by @henryiii in #303

  • Find wheel files before local files in editable installs by @henryiii in #305

Other:

  • Use PyPI’s new trusted publisher deployment by @henryiii in #306

Version 0.3.2#

Some small fixes for edge cases. Several docs improvements, too.

Fixes:

  • Suppress Unicode errors in scripts dir and move on by @henryiii in #294

  • Specify platform properly for non-MSVC Windows by @henryiii in #295

Docs:

  • Doc updates by @zerothi in #287

  • Typos fixed by @afh in #291 and #292

Version 0.3.1#

This is a small release fixing a regression in some cases caused by adding Python_LIBRARY. This has been reverted on non-Windows platforms, since it is only needed on Windows.

Fixes:

  • Support older setuptools-scm by @henryiii in #284

  • Only set the lib for FindPython on Windows by @henryiii in #285

Docs:

  • Fix incorrect tool name by @henryiii in #276

  • Typo on tab Fortran (was Cython) by @zerothi in #279

  • Fix wheel.packages by @henryiii in #282

Other:

  • Change Fedora PR targets by @LecrisUT in #273

Version 0.3.0#

This version brings two new dynamic metadata plugins (wrappers for setuptools_scm & hatch-pypi-fancy-readme). Third-party packages can now add entry-points declaring CMAKE_PREFIX_DIR and CMAKE_MODULE_DIR entries. Support has been added for requesting metadata without building. And experimental support was added for editable installs, including an option for automatic rebuilds.

Several fixes have been added as well, like SABI support, ARM cross-compiling support for FindPython, scripts entries now process shebang lines, and setting a build-dir with {wheel_tag} was not working before. The docs have been started, with a quickstart for common situations, a page on configuration, and some info on authoring a CMakeLists.

Features:

  • Support dynamic metadata by @bennyrowland in #197 and rework by @henryiii in #251

  • Support modules/prefix dirs by @henryiii in #255

  • Add get_requires_for_dynamic_metadata by @henryiii in #235

  • Make setuptools wrapper more generic by @henryiii in #225

  • Experimental support for editable installs by @henryiii in #212, #268, and #271

Fixes:

  • Support color printouts without Rich (pip requires FORCE_COLOR) by @henryiii in #266

Other things:

  • Add Fortran testing and CI by @henryiii in #86

  • Avoid internet usage in non-isolated testing by @henryiii in #247

  • Add an SDist checker & fix contents by @henryiii in #253

  • Add more setuptools types by @henryiii in #233

  • Add FedoraProject rpm spec file by @LecrisUT in #201 and #241

  • Better coverage handling by @henryiii in #270

Version 0.2.2#

This release makes a small improvement to the wheel file permissions (in line with wheel 0.40). It also ensures the test suite will still pass in an environment with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH already set. A few internal changes are paving the way to 0.3.0.

Fixes:

  • zipinfo should report regular files by @henryiii in #220

Tests:

  • Support running in environments with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set by @LecrisUT in #221

  • Report self version too by @henryiii in #222

Other things:

  • refactor: use from_pyproject by @henryiii and @bennyrowland in #224

  • chore: fix a mypy complaint on Windows by @henryiii in #217

  • docs: add quickstart by @henryiii in #226

Version 0.2.1#

This release fixes the tag for Windows ARM wheels, and has some internal refactoring to prepare for the next new features. A new {wheel_tag} value is available for build-dir. Some basic setup was done on the docs, as well. Debug logging and test output has been improved a little, as well.

Changes:

  • Add {wheel_tag} for build-dir by @henryiii in #207

  • Support for conda’s CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR by @henryiii in #207

  • tests: nicer exit, minor refactors by @henryiii in #213

  • refactor: minor changes & nicer environment logging printout by @henryiii in #214

Version 0.2.0#

This version adds local build directory support - you can now set build-dir and reuse build targets. This does not yet default to on, so please test it out. This can dramatically speed up rebuilds. If you want to mimic setuptools, you can set this to build/{cache_tag}. Or you can chose some other directory, like scikit-build classic’s _skbuild. Along with this, we now have a native wheel writer implementation and support prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel.

Scikit-build-core now also contains a backport of FindPython from CMake 3.26, which fixes SOABI on PyPy and supports the Stable ABI / Limited API.

Features:

  • Local build directory setting & build reuse by @henryiii in #181

  • Add prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel by @henryiii in #191
