| 1 | +# Python GEDCOM Parser - Changelog |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## [v1.0.0](https://github.com/nickreynke/python-gedcom/releases/tag/v1.0.0) |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +### Changes: |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- Added `CHANGELOG.md` |
| 8 | +- Set source code encoding to UTF-8 explicitly, since for Python 2 ASCII would be the default. For Python 3 the default is UTF-8. |
| 9 | +- Separated code of `__init__.py` into individual files, updating the package structure ([#15](https://github.com/nickreynke/python-gedcom/issues/15)) |
| 10 | + - Resulted in a new `parser.py` file containing the actual parser, a `element.py` containing the elements the parser can parse and a `tags.py` containing the used GEDCOM tags |
| 11 | +- Separated code of new `element.py` into individual modules extending the `Element` class within new submodule `element` to better |
| 12 | + differentiate between the type of `Element`s the parser parses (e.g. `FamilyElement`, `IndividualElement`, ...) |
| 13 | +- Added `helpers.py` containing helper functions like a `@deprecated` annotation to annotate methods or classes as |
| 14 | + deprecated. (The helpers may be removed when its contents are no longer used within the project.) |
| 15 | +- GEDCOM file is no longer parsed within constructor of `Parser` class (the actual parser; it was named `Gedcom` before). |
| 16 | + The new way to parse is as follows: |
| 17 | + ```python |
| 18 | + # from gedcom import Gedcom <- Old way of importing the parser |
| 19 | + from gedcom.parser import Parser |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + file_path = '' # Path to your `.ged` file |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | + # The old way would be to supply the `Parser` (or `Gedcom`) class the `file_path` as its first parameter on initialization |
| 24 | + gedcom_parser = Parser() |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + # The new way to parse a GEDCOM file |
| 27 | + gedcom_parser.parse_file(file_path) |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + # ... |
| 30 | + ``` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +### Deprecations: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +- `get_individual()` method within `Element` class. Use `to_gedcom_string()` instead. |
| 35 | +- `given_match()` method within `IndividualElement` class. Use `given_name_match()` instead. |
| 36 | +- `get_burial()` method within `IndividualElement` class. Use `get_burial_data()` instead. |
| 37 | +- `get_burial()` method within `IndividualElement` class. Use `get_burial_data()` instead. |
| 38 | +- `get_census()` method within `IndividualElement` class. Use `get_census_data()` instead. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### Migrating from v0.2.x to v1.0.0: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +The old way of importing the `gedcom` package was like this: `from gedcom import Gedcom`. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +The new package code is separated into individual modules within the package. So `Parser` (the actual parser which was named `Gedcom`) would be imported like this: |
| 45 | +`from gedcom.parser import Parser`, since the `Parser` class lies within the module `parser` within the package `gedcom`. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Same procedure for the `Element` class: `from gedcom.element.element import Element`, since the `Element` class lies |
| 48 | +within the package `gedcom`, the subpackage `element` and the module `element`. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +This allows for better maintainability and scalability. |
