Known issues
breakingIn v3.0.0, the module name changed from 'pyinstaller_versionfile' to 'pyinstaller_versionfile' (same), but the import path 'pyinstaller_versionfile' remains. No breaking import change, but the internal API was overhauled. If you used 'Metadata' class prior to v3.0, it may have been renamed or its methods changed.
fix
Check the changelog for v3.0.0 migration steps. For v3.x, use the new 'create_version_file' function or 'Metadata' builder.
affects: <3.0.0
gotchaThe package name on PyPI is 'pyinstaller-versionfile' (with hyphen), but the Python module uses underscores: 'pyinstaller_versionfile'. Using a hyphen in an import statement fails.
fix
Import using 'from pyinstaller_versionfile import ...', not 'from pyinstaller-versionfile import ...'.
affects: all
gotchaThe 'translations' parameter expects a list of strings in hex locale format (e.g., '040904B0'). Incorrect formatting results in a malformed version file.
fix
Use a list of valid locale hex codes. A common example is ["040904B0"] for English (United States) with Windows CP1252 charset.
