Blinker Changelog
=================


Version 1.3
-----------

Released July 3, 2013

- The global signal stash behind blinker.signal() is now backed by a
  regular name-to-Signal dictionary. Previously, weak references were
  held in the mapping and ephermal usage in code like
  ``signal('foo').connect(...)`` could have surprising program behavior
  depending on import order of modules.
- blinker.Namespace is now built on a regular dict. Use
  blinker.WeakNamespace for the older, weak-referencing behavior.
- Signal.connect('text-sender') uses an alterate hashing strategy to
  avoid sharp edges in text identity.

Version 1.2
-----------

Released October 26, 2011

- Added Signal.receiver_connected and
  Signal.receiver_disconnected per-Signal signals.
- Deprecated the global 'receiver_connected' signal.
