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.

Full Changelog: v0.4.5...v0.4.6

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).

What's Changed

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
• Report correct ABI when cross-compiling by @henryiii in #366

Tests:

• Fedora downstream CI by @LecrisUT in #358
• Add downstream examples by @henryiii in #363
• Add testing for scripts processing by @henryiii in #364

New Contributors

• @jameslamb made their first contribution in #357

Full Changelog: v0.4.4...v0.4.5

Version 0.4.4

This version fixes some issues cross-compiling to Windows ARM when making Limited API / Stable ABI extensions, and supports multiple config generators in editable mode.

• 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

Full Changelog: v0.4.3...v0.4.4

Version 0.4.3

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
• Windows path correction for 3.12.0b1 by @henryiii in #346
• Editable path needs to be absolute by @henryiii in #345

Other:

• Add 3.12.0b1 by @henryiii in #341
• Refactor settings by @henryiii in #338
• Document that CMAKE_ARGS supports space separators by @henryiii in #339

Full Changelog: v0.4.2...v0.4.3

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

Full Changelog: v0.4.1...v0.4.2

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:

• rpm inspect test failures by @LecrisUT in #324

Full Changelog: v0.4.0...v0.4.1

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:

• Refactor plugin as custom setuptools command by @henryiii in #312
• Adding cmake_args by @henryiii in #314
• Add wrapper for skbuild.setup compat by @henryiii in #315

Other:

• ci: add rpmlint and smoke tests by @LecrisUT in #313

Full Changelog: v0.3.3...v0.4.0

Version 0.3.3

This version improves WebAssembly support (Pyodide) and fixes a reported bug in the new editable mode.

What's Changed

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

Full Changelog: v0.3.2...v0.3.3

Full Changelog: v0.3.1...v0.3.2

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.

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