Change Log

The following is a log of all user-facing changes to stem, both released and unreleased. For a monthly report on work being done see my development log.

Versioning

Stem uses semantic versioning, which means that versions consist of three numbers (such as ‘1.2.4‘). These are used to convey the kind of backward compatibility a release has...

  • The first value is the major version. This changes infrequently, and indicates that backward incompatible changes have been made (such as the removal of deprecated functions).
  • The second value is the minor version. This is the most common kind of release, and denotes that the improvements are backward compatible.
  • The third value is the patch version. When a stem release has a major issue another release is made which fixes just that problem. These do not contain substantial improvements or new features. This value is sometimes left off to indicate all releases with a given major/minor version.

Unreleased

The following are only available within stem’s git repository.

  • Controller
  • Descriptors
  • Utilities
  • Website
  • Overhaul of stem’s download page. This included several improvements, most notably the addition of PyPI, Ubuntu, Fedora, Slackware, and FreeBSD.
  • Replaced default sphinx header with a navbar menu.
  • Added this change log.
  • Added the FAQ page.
  • Settled on a logo for stem.
  • Expanded the client usage tutorial to cover SocksiPy and include an example for polling Twitter.
  • Subtler buttons for the frontpage (before and after).
