A bit of a desolate description of the updates #2019

Closed snooppr closed 4 weeks ago

snooppr commented 4 weeks ago

I expected to see traditional update, changes of new Folium versions in "https://github.com/python-visualization/folium/blob/main/CHANGES.txt". But the latest description is version 0.15.1, while PyPi offers the latest version 0.18.0 . Add description of updates to file 'CHANGES.txt' (order).

I found the description of the updates in the releases "https://github.com/python-visualization/folium/releases". I was a little confused by the description of v0.18.0:

Drop Python 3.8, add Python 3.13 by

How reasonable is it to remove Python3.8 support? After all, Python3.8 is the last working version on Windows7.

In addition, the description states that support for Python3.8 is no longer available, but in fact Folium v0.18.0 installs on Python3.8. Example: python3 8

Good, because https://github.com/python-visualization/folium/blob/main/setup.py#L68

Hi @snooppr, as listed in our readme we moved our changelog after version 0.15.0: https://github.com/python-visualization/folium?tab=readme-ov-file#changelog. We kept the 'old' file around for people interested in the older changelog. But at the top of the old changelog is a notice where the new one is. Seems like you found it as well.

We dropped support for Python 3.8, meaning we no longer run tests on it. Doesn't mean that Folium doesn't necessarily work with 3.8 anymore. Python 3.8 is actually end of life since early October: https://devguide.python.org/versions/.

Hope that addresses your concerns!
