Version: 2.1 (deprecated)

1.26.x

Some highlights:

  • Pants now uses Pex 2.1, which uses Pip instead of its own custom resolver. See https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/pull/788 for details.
  • Adds support for pants.toml as an improvement on the now legacy pants.ini format. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pants-devel/N1H03oJONco for details.
  • Adds support for Python lockfiles.
  • Adds the Pylint linter.
  • Adds IPython support to ./pants repl.
  • Adds support for getting coverage data with ./pants test.
  • When using file arguments with ./.pants test, fmt, or lint, Pants now runs over only the files specified, rather than all files belonging to the owning target.
  • Changes ./pants fmt and ./pants lint to batch targets together for better performance, at the cost of less fine-grained caching. This can be disabled with --fmt-per-target-caching and --lint-per-target-caching.
