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: #1067.
• 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.

Potentially Interface Breaking:

• The -r option for removing imports has been renamed -rm to avoid accidental deletions and confusion with the -rc recursive option.
• __init__.py has been removed from the default ignore list. The default ignore list is now empty - with all items needing to be explicitly ignored.
• Isort will now by default ignore .tox / venv folders in an effort to be "safe". You can disable this behaviour by setting the "--unsafe" flag, this is separate from any skip or not skip rules you may have in place.
• Isort now allows for files missing closing newlines in whitespace check
• distutils support has been removed to simplify setup.py

New:

• Official Python 3.7 Compatibility.
• Support for using requirements files to auto determine third-paty section if pipreqs & requirementslib are installed.
• Added support for using pyproject.toml if toml is installed.
• Added support for XDG_HOME if appdirs is installed.
• An option has been added to enable ignoring trailing comments ('ignore_comments') defaulting to False.
• Added support to enable line length sorting for only specific sections
• Added a correctly_sorted property on the SortsImport to enable more intuitive programmatic checking.

Fixes:

• Improved black compatibility.
• Isort will now detect files in the CWD as first-party.
• Fixed several cases where '-ns' or 'not_skip' was being incorrectly ignored.
• Fixed sorting of relative path imports ('.', '..', '...', etc).
• Fixed bugs caused by a failure to maintain order when loading iterables from config files.
• Correctly handle CPython compiled imports and others that need EXT_SUFFIX to correctly identify.
• Fixed handling of Symbolic Links to follow them when walking the path.
• Fixed handling of relative known_paths.
• Fixed lack of access to all wrap modes from the CLI.
• Fixed handling of FIFO files.
• Fixed a bug that could result in multiple imports being inserted on the same line.
