Apologies if I've missed an obvious link but I couldn't find anything that tells me what's changed with each new release. In particular, the jump from 4.x to 5.x suggests a backwards incompatible change somewhere but I don't know what this might be.

By the way, thanks for releasing this project. It's great and we use it quite heavily for OpenPrescribing.net: https://github.com/ebmdatalab/openprescribing/

Nope. Git log is your best bet.

Did a quick look myself and I think version 5 dropped testing for Python 2 and a bunch of Python 2 APIs.

Btw, thanks for the kind words! How do you use it for Open Prescribing?

(Also thanks for whitenoise :) )

No worries. If it was just Python 2 support that caused the major version bump then that shouldn't affect us at all.

How do you use it for Open Prescribing?

We were already using SQLite to store numpy matrices as serialized binary blobs. It's a slightly odd approach that works very well for our use case (more detail here). But these were pre-built read-only SQLlite files. I wondered if we could do something similar with cached data and went searching around and found your project which exactly fit the bill. You can see how happy I was in the commit that introduced it!

(Also thanks for whitenoise :) )

You're welcome! I'm afraid it hasn't had a lot of love after the past year :(
