Use of that libmagic API will + produce a deprecation warning. + +- support python 3.9 in tests and pypi metadata + +- add support for magic_descriptor functions, which take a file descriptor + rather than a filename. + +- sometimes the returned description includes snippets of the file, e.g a title + for MS Word docs. Since this is in an unknown encoding, we would throw a + unicode decode error trying to decode. Now, it decodes with + 'backslashreplace' to handle this more gracefully. The undecodable characters + are replaced with hex escapes. + +- add support for MAGIC_EXTENSION, to return possible file extensions. + +- add mypy typing stubs file, for type checking + Changes in 0.4.18 - Make bindings for magic_[set|get]param optional, and throw NotImplementedError |
