colorama

I initially hoped to have a single Makefile or script that
worked on Linux and Windows, but was unable to make it work
without massive over-complication.

So now we have makefile targets for Linux, and powershell
scripts for Windows. Documented in the README.

• Fix release 0.4.2 which was uploaded with missing files.

0.4.2 BROKEN DO NOT USE

  • Fix Google Code issue #55 - erase_data fails on Python 3.x

  • Fix Google Code issue #46 - win32.COORD definition missing

  • Implement 033[0J and 033[1J (clear screen options)

  • Fix issue #22 - Importing fails for python3 on Windows

  • Thanks to John Szakmeister for adding support for light colors

  • Thanks to Charles Merriam for adding documentation to demos

• Thanks to Marc Schlaich (schlamar) for a setup.py fix for Python2.5 * Thanks to Jurko for fix on 64-bit Windows CPython2.5 w/o ctypes (Google

  Code issue #56)

  • Thanks to Remi Rampin for: * better github integration, incl rendered README and Travis config. * fixed forward slashes in README

  • Thanks to Florian Bruhin for fix when stdout or stderr are None

  • Thanks to Simeon Visser for: * closing a file handle using 'with' * updating classifiers to include Python 3.3 and 3.4

  • Thanks to Thomas Weininger for fix ValueError on Windows (Google Code issue #50)

• Fixed crash on exit with closed stdout, with thanks to Marc Abramowitz. * Now uses setuptools if available, and falls back to distutils if not. * setup.py no longer imports anything from colorama source.

• Move repository to Git, https://github.com/tartley/colorama. (My Mercurial

  repo seemed to be corrupted, I couldn't commit nor view patches of old commits, even on fresh checkouts.)

  • Fix always-crash on non-Windows platforms, reported by Matt McCormick.

  • Fix Google Code issue #47, incompatible with pyreadline.

• Fix problem under 64-bit windows due to ctypes HANDLE size. Submitted by

  the rather magnificent Ben Hoyt. This fixes Google Code issue #43

• Add copyright & licensing info to every file, as requested by a large

  downstream project which has problems making sure that all 3rd party contributions have appropriate license.

• Several documentation & demo fixes.

• Fix to work on Windows 7. * Python 3 compatibility in docs and demos. * Add handling for 'cursor up' and 'get position' ANSI codes.

• Split changelog out into separate file.

• Fix bug which caused init() to raise, introduced in 0.2.1. * Remove asserts which cause problems in various circumstances. At least some

  users saw asserts fail on 'success' returned from win32 functions, even though the win32 functions appear to have worked correctly.

• Completely broken: I added a bug which caused init() to raise. * Added some documentation for cursor positioning and clear screen to README. * Add 'reinit' and 'deinit' functions, as suggested by Charles FOL and

  Romanov DA.

• Fix README (no such attr as Fore.DEFAULT, etc), kindly reported by nodakai.

• Prevent printing of garbage ANSI codes upon installing with pip

• Re-upload to fix previous error. Make clean now removes old MANIFEST.

• Completely broken. Distribution was empty due to leftover invalid MANIFEST

  file from building on a different platform.

  • Fix python3 incompatibility kindly reported by G |uumlaut| nter Kolousek

• Fix hard-coded reset to white-on-black colors. Fore.RESET, Back.RESET and

  Style.RESET_ALL now revert to the colors as they were when init() was called. Some lessons hopefully learned about testing prior to release.

• Completely broken: barfed when installed using pip.

• Completely broken: contained no source code. double oops.

• Completely broken: fatal import errors on Ubuntu. oops.

• Stop emulating 'bright' text with bright backgrounds. * Display 'normal' text using win32 normal foreground instead of bright. * Drop support for 'dim' text.

• Fix incompatibility with Python 2.5 and earlier. * Remove setup.py dependency on setuptools, now uses stdlib distutils.

• Fix ghastly errors all over the place on Ubuntu. * Add init kwargs 'convert' and 'strip', which supersede the old 'wrap'.

• Python 3 compatible. * Fix: Now strips ansi on windows without necessarily converting it to win32

  calls (eg. if output is not a tty.)

  • Fix: Flaky interaction of interleaved ansi sent to stdout and stderr.

  • Improved demo.sh (hg checkout only.)

• Fix ansi sequences with no params now default to parmlist of [0]. * Fix flaky behaviour of autoreset and reset_all atexit. * Fix stacking of repeated atexit calls - now just called once. * Fix ghastly import problems while running tests. * 'demo.py' (hg checkout only) now demonstrates autoreset and reset atexit. * Provide colorama.VERSION, used by setup.py. * Tests defanged so they no longer actually change terminal color when run.

• Now works on Ubuntu.

• Implemented RESET_ALL on application exit

• Implemented init(wrap=False)

• Implemented init(autoreset=True)

• Minor tidy

• Works on Windows for foreground color, background color, bright or dim
