Major Changes

  • Requires at least ST3143 (3.0)

  • drops support for python 2.x

  • adds support for python 3.8

  • Package and library version scheme changed from SemVer to PEP440
    for better pre-release handling and compatibility with python packages.

    Note: Package versions should still follow SemVer like <major>.<minor>.<micro>

  • Dependencies are now called libraries.

    They are installed to Data/Libs as ordinary python packages.

    Existing managed dependencies are automatically converted.

    Can install python wheels (*.whl)

  • Channel/repository scheme v1.0 and v1.2 are no longer supported
    as they contain only packages for no longer supported ST2.

  • New channel/repository scheme v4.0.0 is introduced,
    which allows to specify supported python_versions.

    Parsing and installing "requirements.txt" is however not yet supported.

    For working examples checkout example-channel.json and example-repository.json
    from Package Control Github repository.

Note for Package Devs

packagecontrol.io does not yet support the new 4.0.0 scheme
and thus doesn't ship python 3.8 dependencies/libraries.

Therefore do not upgrade repositories to 4.0.0 scheme,
which are included in default channel.

You can however create your own 4.0.0 repository and
add it via 'Package Control: Add Repository'.

Metadata for python 3.8 compatible libraries are maintained at

https://github.com/packagecontrol/channel

and shipped via

https://packagecontrol.github.io/channel/channel_v4.json

so all packages can already migrate to python 3.8

Legacy dependency format has been extended to support python 3.8.

see: https://github.com/packagecontrol/example-dependency

  • support for python 3.8 dependencies (now called libraries)
