This changes the previous behaviour whereas a required field with dependencies would only be reported as missing if all dependencies were met. A missing required field will always be reported. Also see the discussion in https://github.com/nicolaiarocci/eve/pull/665. Version 0.9 ----------- Released on June 24 2015. Codename: 'Mastrolindo'. - New: 'oneof' rule which provides a list of definitions in which only one should validate (C.D. Clark III). - New: 'noneof' rule which provides a list of definitions that should all not validate (C.D. Clark III). - New: 'anyof' rule accepts a list of definitions and checks that one definition validates (C.D. Clark III). - New: 'allof' rule validates if if all definitions validate (C.D. Clark III). - New: 'validator.validated' takes a document as argument and returns a validated document or 'None' if validation failed (Frank Sachsenheim). - New: PyPy support (Frank Sachsenheim). - New: Type coercion (Brett). - New: Added 'propertyschema' validation rule (Frank Sachsenheim). - Change: Use 'str.format' in error messages so if someone wants to override them does not get an exception if arguments are not passed. Closes #105 (Brett). - Change: 'keyschema' renamed to 'valueschema', print a deprecation warning (Frank Sachsenheim). - Change: 'type' can also be a list of types (Frank Sachsenheim). - Fix: useages of 'document' to 'self.document' in '_validate' (Frank Sachsenheim). - Fix: when 'items' is applied to a list, field name is used as key for 'validator.errors', and offending field indexes are used as keys for field errors ({'a_list_of_strings': {1: 'not a string'}}) 'type' can be a list of valid types. - Fix: Ensure that additional `**kwargs` of a subclass persist through validation (Frank Sachsenheim). - Fix: improve failure message when testing against multiple types (Frank Sachsenheim). - Fix: ignore 'keyschema' when not a mapping (Frank Sachsenheim). - Fix: ignore 'schema' when not a sequence (Frank Sachsenheim). - Fix: allow_unknown can also be set for nested dicts. Closes #75 (Tobias Betz). - Fix: raise SchemaError when an unallowed 'type' is used in conjunction with 'schema' rule (Tobias Betz). - Docs: added section that points out that YAML, JSON, etc. can be used to define schemas (C.D. Clark III). - Docs: Improve 'allow_unknown' documentation (Frank Sachsenheim). Version 0.8.1 ------------- Released on Mar 16 2015. - Fix: dependency on a sub-document field does not work.

Closes #67. - Fix: two tests being ignored because of name typo. - Fix: update mode does not ignore required fields in subdocuments. Closes #72. - Fix: allow_unknown does not respect custom rules. Closes #66. - Fix: typo in docstrings (Riccardo). Version 0.8 ----------- Released on Jan 7 2015. - 'dependencies' also supports dependency values. - 'allow_unknown' can also be set to a validation schema, in which case unknown fields will be validated against it. Closes nicolaiarocci/eve#405. - New function-based custom validation mode (Luo Peng). - Fields with empty definitions in schema were reported as non-existent. Now they are considered as valid, whatever their value is (Jaroslav Semančík). - If dependencies are precised for a 'required' field, then the presence of the field is only validated if all dependencies are present (Trong Hieu HA). - Documentation typo (Nikita Vlaznev #55). - [CI] Add travis_retry to pip install in case of network issues (Helgi Þormar Þorbjörnsson #49) Version 0.7.2 ------------- Released on Jun 19 2014. - Successfully validate int as float type (Florian Rathgeber). Version 0.7.1 ------------- Released on Jun 17 2014. - Validation schemas are now validated up-front. When you pass a Schema to the Validator it will be validated against the supported ruleset (Paul Weaver). Closes #39. - Custom validators also have access to a special 'self.document' variable that allows validation of a field to happen in context of the rest of the document (Josh Villbrandt). - Validator options like 'allow_unknown' and 'ignore_none_values' are now taken into consideration when validating sub-dictionaries. Closes #40. Version 0.7 ----------- Released on May 16 2014. - Python 3.4 is now supported. - tox support. - Added 'dependencies' validation rule (Lujeni). - Added 'keyschema' validation rule (Florian Rathgeber). - Added 'regex' validation rule. Closes #29. - Added 'set' as a core data type. Closes #31. - Not-nullable fields are validated independetly of their type definition (Jaroslav Semančík). - Python trove classifiers added to setup.py. Closes #32. - 'min' and 'max' now apply to floats and numbers too. Closes #30.

Version 0.5 ----------- Released on December 4 2013 - 'validator.errors' now returns a dictionary where keys are document fields and values are lists of validation errors for the field. - Validator instances are now callable. Instead of `validated = validator.validate(document)` you can now choose to do 'validated = validator(document)' (Eelke Hermens). Version 0.4.0 ------------- Released on September 24 2013. - 'validate_update' is deprecated and will be removed with next release. Use 'validate' with 'update=True' instead. Closes #21. - Fixed a minor encoding issue which made installing on Windows/Python3 impossible. Closes #19 (Arsh Singh). - Fix documentation typo (Daniele Pizzolli). - 'type' validation is always performed first (only exception being 'nullable').

This is different than required in that you can actively change a value to None instead of omitting or ignoring it. It is essentially the ignore_none_values, allowing for more fine grained control down to the field level (Kaleb Pomeroy). Version 0.2.0 ------------- Released on April 18 2013. - 'allow_unknown' option added. Version 0.1.0 ------------- Released on March 15 2013.

Use the upgraded 'schema' rule instead. - AUTHORS file added to sources. - CHANGES file added to sources.
