Known issues
breakingRemoved support for Python 3.8 and 3.9 in v18.0.0. These versions are no longer compatible.
fix
Upgrade to Python 3.10+ or stay on v17.x if you cannot upgrade Python.
affects: <18.0.0
gotchaThe package 'approvaltests-minimal' now correctly declares dependency on 'approval_utilities' from v18.0.0 onwards, but older versions might missing the dependency. Install explicitly if needed.
fix
Run 'pip install approval-utilities' alongside approvaltests-minimal.
affects: <18.0.0
deprecatedThe verify function imported from approvaltests is deprecated and will be removed in future approvaltests releases. Migrate to approval_utilities.
fix
Use 'from approval_utilities.utilities import verify' instead.
affects: all
