# Release notes

## v0.1.3 (2026-04-17)

* Improve styling of abcjs containers, pandas dataframes, and ipywidgets
  in the docs ({pull}`103`).
  You can now activate abcjs responsive mode in
  {class}`~pyabc2.abcjs.widget.ABCJSWidget`,
  but non-responsive is still the default.
* Update for changes in <https://www.capeirish.com/ittl/tunefolders/> ({pull}`104`).
* Add Paul Hardy to sources ({mod}`pyabc2.sources.hardy`; {pull}`105`).
* Update abcjs version from 6.4.4 to 6.6.2 (late Feb 2026; {pull}`106`).
  Integrate the new chord grid option into the widget.

## v0.1.2 (2026-02-03)

* Various Bill Black fixes ({pull}`96`)
* Add zlib-based compression support
  for Eskin ABC Transcription Tools URL decoding and URL creation ({pull}`95`).
  It is the default in the Eskin tools as of 2026-02-02,
  but for now, in {func}`~pyabc2.sources.eskin.abc_to_abctools_url`
  you have to opt in using `lzw=False`.

* Update NumPy/pandas pins to v2 and min Python to 3.10 ({pull}`87`)

  and add additional abcjs-based tools ({mod}`pyabc2.abcjs`; {pull}`89`, {pull}`91`)
* Add initial support for loading tunes from Bill Black ({pull}`92`)
* Mark the note regexes as non-private, towards less awkward usage ({pull}`93`)
* Add a few more The Session web API capabilities, including loading sets ({pull}`94`)

## v0.1.0 (2025-07-02)

I've recently cleaned up a few things and added docs ({pull}`68`, {pull}`69`),
but otherwise {mod}`pyabc2` has been pretty much the same for a few years now.
I wanted to preserve this state of the project before making breaking changes.

Compared to [campagnola/pyabc](https://github.com/campagnola/pyabc),
a major inspiration for this project, {mod}`pyabc2` (thus far at least):

```{currentmodule} pyabc2

```

* doesn't really attempt tokenization, just focuses on extracting the melody notes
* takes into account repeats and endings in order to extract the full melody
  ({attr}`Tune.measures`, {meth}`Tune.iter_notes`)
* has separate {class}`Pitch` and {class}`PitchClass` classes
* has {class}`Note` inherit from {class}`Pitch` instead of a token class
* includes tools for fetching tune data from Norbeck, in addition to from The Session
* implements HTML reprs, including using [abcjs](https://www.abcjs.net/)
  to display tunes in the Jupyter notebook
  ({doc}`examples <examples/types>`)
* makes use of type annotations
* adds more methods/properties for pitch/note and key classes
* is available [on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pyabc2/)
