Changelog

tinyvdiff 0.5.0

Improvements

  • Specify explicit UTF-8 encoding when reading and writing SVG files so snapshot comparisons always use the same encoding (#49). This change cannot eliminate SVG content differences caused by different platforms or pdf2svg versions, but it helps avoid subtle bugs from text file encoding discrepancies.

Linting

  • Added ruff linter configuration to pyproject.toml with popular rule sets including pycodestyle, Pyflakes, pyupgrade, flake8-bugbear, flake8-simplify, and isort (#47).
  • Fixed ruff check linting issues including F401, UP015, and SIM112 (#47).

Testing

  • Added unit tests for the low-level conversion and snapshotting facilities that support the pytest plugin (#17).
