3.0.0
=====

standard Enum usage is unchanged

BREAKING CHANGES

Enum
- the more esoteric method of creating Enums have been modified or removed
  - AutoNumber setting is gone, inherit from AutoNumberEnum instead
  - creating members without specifying anything is removed (if you don't
    know what this means, you weren't doing it)

Flag
- unique flags are canonical (i.e. flags with powers of two values such as
  1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.)
- non-unique flags are aliases (i.e. values such as 3 or 7)
- iteration of Flag and flag members only uses canonical flags


ENHANCEMENTS

Member creation has been redone to match Python 3.10's methods.  This also
allows all supported Pythons (2.7, 3.3+) to use the __set_name__ and
__init_subclass__ protocols (more robustly than in aenum 2.2.5)


CHANGES

enum_property() has been renamed to property() (old name still available, but
deprecated).

bin() replacement shows negative integers in twos-complement




2.2.5
=====

call __init_subclass__ after members have been added, and in Pythons < 3.6
call __set_name__ in Pythons < 3.6
do not convert/disallow private names
add iteration/len support to NamedConstant


2.2.4
=====

add support to Constant to retrieve members by value

    --> class K(Constant):
    ...     one = 1
    ...     two = 2

    --> K.one
    <K.one: 1>

    --> K(1)
    <K.one: 1>

add pickle/deepcopy support to Constant

add support for Constant to use other Constant values
  (resulting members /are not/ the same)

    --> class C(Constant)
    ...     one = K.one
    ...     three = 3

    --> C.one == K.one
    True

    --> C.one is K.one
    False

AutoNumber and auto() now work together

Enum members are now added to the class as enum_property, which supports
unshadowing of parent class attributes when called on an Enum member:

    --> class StrEnum(str, Enum):
    ...     lower = 'lower'
    ...     upper = 'upper'
    ...     mixed = 'mixed'
    
    --> StrEnum.lower
    <StrEnum.lower: 'lower'>

    --> StrEnum.lower.upper()
    'LOWER'

    --> StrEnum.upper
    <StrEnum.upper: 'upper'>

    --> StrEnum.upper.upper()
    'UPPER'


2.2.3
=====

use members' type's methods __str__, __repr__, __format__, and
__reduce_ex__ if directly assigned in Enum class body; i.e.:

    --> class Color(str, Enum):
    ...     red = 'red'
    ...     green = 'green'
    ...     blue = 'blue'
    ...     __str__ = str.__str__

    --> print(repr(Color.green))
    <Color.green: 'green'>

    --> print(Color.green)
    green


2.2.2
=====

replace _RouteClassAttributeToGetattr with enum_property (it is still
available as an alias)

support constant() and auto() being used together:

    --> class Fruit(Flag):
    ...    _order_ = 'apple banana lemon orange'
    ...    apple = auto()
    ...    banana = auto()
    ...    lemon = auto()
    ...    orange = auto()
    ...    CitrusTypes = constant(lemon | orange)

    --> list(Fruit)
    [Fruit.apple, Fruit.banana, Fruit.lemon, Fruit.orange]

    --> list(Fruit.CitrusTypes)
    [Fruit.orange, Fruit.lemon]

    --> Fruit.orange in Fruit.CitrusTypes
    True


2.2.1
=====

allow Enums to be called without a value

    class Color(Enum):
        black = 0
        red = 1
        green = 2
        blue = 3
        #
        @classmethod
        def _missing_value_(cls, value):
            if value is no_arg:
                return cls.black

    >>> Color()
    <Color.black: 0>

allow Enum name use while constructing Enum (Python 3.4+ only)

    --> class Color(Enum):
    ...     _order_ = 'BLACK WHITE'
    ...     BLACK = Color('black', '#000')
    ...     WHITE = Color('white', '#fff')
    ...     #
    ...     def __init__(self, label, hex):
    ...         self.label = label
    ...         self.hex = hex


2.2.0
=====

BREAKING CHANGE
---------------
In Python 3+ classes defined inside an Enum no longer become members by
default; in Python 2 they still become members, but see below.

For cross-compatibility and full control two decorators are provided:

- @member  --> forces item to become a member
- @nonmember  --> excludes item from becoming a member

So to have an Enum that behaves the same in Python 2 and 3, use the
decorators (and other compatibility shims):

    class Color(Enum):

        _order_ = 'red green blue'

        red = 1
        green = 2
        blue = 3

        @nonmember
        class Shades(Enum):

            _order_ = 'light medium dark'

            light = 1
            medium = 2
            dark = 3


2.1.4
=====

EnumMeta:
- change __member_new__ to __new_member__ (as the stdlib enum does)
- assign member name to enum() instances (an Enum helper for defining members)
- handle empty iterables when using functional API
- make auto() work with previous enum members
- keep searching mixins until base class is found

Enum:
- fix bug in Flag checks (ensure it is a Flag before checking the name)
- add multiple mixin support
- do not allow blank names (functional API)
- raise TypeError if _missing_* returns wrong type
- fix __format__ to honor custom __str__

extend_enum:
- support stdlib Enums
- use _generate_next_value_ if value not provided

general:
- standardize exception formatting
- use getfullargspec() in Python 3 (avoids deprecation warnings)

correctly raise TypeError for non-Enum containment checks

2.0.5
=====

_init_ and MultiValue can now work together


2.0.4

absent


2.0.3
=====

add _missing_value_ and _missing_name_ methods, deprecate _missing_
make enum instances comparable


2.0.2

1.4.0
=====

When possible aenum inherits from Python's own enum.

Breaking change: enum members now default to evaluating as True to maintain
compatibility with the stdlib.

Add your own __bool__ (__nonzero__ in Python 2) if need this behavior:

    def __bool__(self):
        return bool(self.value)
    __nonzero__ = __bool__
