Release history and notes¶
Sequence based identifiers are used for versioning (schema follows below):
major.minor[.revision]
- It’s always safe to upgrade within the same minor version (for example, from 0.3 to 0.3.4).
- Minor version changes might be backwards incompatible. Read the release notes carefully before upgrading (for example, when upgrading from 0.3.4 to 0.4).
- All backwards incompatible changes are mentioned in this document.

2018-06-14

The active_only
option has been removed from get_tld
, get_fld
and parse_url
functions. Update your code accordingly.

active_only

,get_fld

0.8¶
2018-06-13
Note
This release contains backward incompatible changes. You should update your code.
Old get_tld
functionality is moved to get_fld
(first-level
domain definition). The as_object
argument (False by default) has been
deprecated for get_fld
.
res = get_tld("http://www.google.co.uk", as_object=True)
Old behaviour
In: res.domain
Out: 'google'
In: res.extension
Out: 'co.uk'
In: res.subdomain
Out: 'www'
In: res.suffix
Out: 'co.uk'
In: res.tld
Out: 'google.co.uk'
New behaviour
In: res.fld
Out: 'google.co.uk'
In: res.tld
Out: 'co.uk'
In: res.domain
Out: 'google'
In: res.subdomain
Out: 'www'
When used without as_object
it returns co.uk
.
Recap
If you have been happily using old version of get_tld
function without
as_object
argument set to True
, you might want to replace get_tld
import with get_fld
import:
# Old
from tld import get_tld
get_tld('http://google.co.uk')
# New
from tld import get_fld
get_fld('http://google.co.uk')
- Move to a Trie to match TLDs. This brings a speed up of 15-20%.
- It’s now possible to search in public, private or all suffixes (old
behaviour). Use
search_public
andsearch_private
arguments accordingly. By default (to support old behavior), both are set to True. - Correct TLD definitions.
- Domains like *****.xn–fiqs8s are now recognized as well.
- Due to usage of
urlsplit
instead ofurlparse
, the initial list of TLDs is assembled quicker (a speed-up of 15-20%). - Docs/ directory is included in source distribution tarball.
- More tests.
0.7.10¶
2018-04-07
