Changelog

All notable changes to pyprefab are documented here.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and the project uses Semantic Versioning.

0.5.6

Added

  • Add a --version parameter to the pyprefab CLI

  • New callback function to normalize user-supplied package location

0.5.5

Added

  • .python-version template for a more explicit uv experience
