Release history and notes¶
Sequence based identifiers are used for versioning (schema follows below):

- 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.
0.8¶
2018-06-13
Note
This release contains backward incompatible changes. You should update your code.
Old get_tld functionality remain 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)
New 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'
Old 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 and search_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 of urlparse, the initial list of TLDs is assembled quicker (a speed-up of 15-20%).
- Docs/ directory is included in source distribution tarball.
- More tests.
