5.0.0 Penny - July 4, 2020

Breaking changes:

isort now requires Python 3.6+ to run but continues to support formatting on ALL versions of python including Python 2 code.
isort deprecates official support for Python 3.4, removing modules only in this release from known_standard_library:
user
Config files are no longer composed on-top of each-other. Instead the first config file found is used.
Since there is no longer composition negative form settings (such as --dont-skip or it's config file variant not_skip) are no longer required and have been removed.
Two-letter shortened setting names (like ac for atomic) now require two dashes to avoid ambiguity: --ac.
For consistency with other tools -v now is shorthand for verbose and -V is shorthand for version. See Issue: .
length_sort_{section_name} config usage has been deprecated. Instead length_sort_sections list can be used to specify a list of sections that need to be length sorted.
safety_excludes and unsafe have been deprecated
Config now includes as default full set of safety directories defined by safety excludes.
--recursive option has been removed. Directories passed in are now automatically sorted recursive.
--apply option has been removed as it is the default behaviour.
isort now does nothing, beyond giving instructions and exiting status code 0, when ran with no arguments.
a new --interactive flag has been added to enable the old style behaviour.
isort now works on contiguous sections of imports, instead of one whole file at a time.
isort now formats all nested "as" imports in the "from" form. import x.y as a becomes from x import y as a. NOTE: This was undone in version 5.1.0 due to feedback it caused issues with some project conventions.
keep_direct_and_as_imports option now defaults to True.
appdirs is no longer supported. Unless manually specified, config should be project config only.
toml is now installed as a vendorized module, meaning pyproject.toml based config is always supported.
Completely new Python API, old version is removed and no longer accessible.
New module placement logic and module fully replaces old finders. Old approach is still available via --old-finders.
Internal:

isort now utilizes mypy and typing to filter out typing related issues before deployment.

isort now utilizes black internally to ensure more consistent formatting.

profile support for common project types (black, django, google, etc)

Much much more. There is some difficulty in fully capturing the extent of changes in this release - just because of how all encompassing the release is. See: Github Issues for more.
