- Update to 1.2.1:
* [bug] [tests] Various fixes to the test suite in the area of exception
message rendering to accommodate for variability in Python versions as
well as Pygments.
* [performance] Optimized some codepaths within the lexer/Python code
generation process, improving performance for generation of templates
prior to their being cached. Pull request courtesy Takuto Ikuta.
* [changed] [py3k] Corrected "universal wheel" directive in setup.cfg so
that building a wheel does not target Python 2.
* [changed] [py3k] The bytestring_passthrough template argument is removed,
as this flag only applied to Python 2.
* [changed] [py3k] With the removal of Python 2's cStringIO, Mako now uses
its own internal FastEncodingBuffer exclusively.
* [changed] Refactored test utilities into mako.testing module. Removed
unittest.TestCase dependency in favor of pytest.
* [changed] [setup] Replaced the use of pkg_resources with the importlib
library. For Python < 3.8 the library importlib_metadata is used.
* [changed] [py3k] Removed support for Python 2 and Python 3.6. Mako now
requires Python >= 3.7.
* [bug] [py3k] Mako now performs exception chaining using raise from,
correctly identifying underlying exception conditions when it raises its
own exceptions. Pull request courtesy Ram Rachum.
- Remove python2 gubbins, since it is no longer supported.
