10.0

10.0

• NEW: Added GLOBSTARLONG which adds support for the Zsh style *** which acts like ** with GLOBSTAR but
  but traverses symlinks.
• NEW: pathlib.match will respect symlink rules (when the REALPATH flag is given). Hidden file rules will
  be respected at all times. Enable DOTALL to match hidden files.
• NEW: Symlinks should not be traversed when GLOBSTAR is enabled unless FOLLOW is also enabled, but they
  should still be matched. Prior to this change, symlinks were not traversed and they were ignored from matching
  which contradicts how Bash works and could be confusing to users.
• FIX: Fix some inconsistencies with globmatch and symlink handling when REALPATH is enabled.

• NEW: Drop support for Python 3.6.
• NEW: Switch to Hatch backend instead of Setuptools.
• NEW: Add new exclude option to fnmatch, pathlib, and glob methods that allows exclusion patterns to be
  specified directly without needing to enable NEGATE and prepend patterns with !. exclude accepts a separate
  pattern or pattern list. exclude should not be used in conjunction with NEGATE. One or the other should be used.

• NEW: Add support for dir_fd in glob patterns.
• FIX: Small fix for Python 3.10 Beta 1 and pathlib.

8.1.2

8.1.2

• FIX: fnmatch.translate no longer requires users to normalize their Windows paths for comparison. Previously, portions of the translate regex handled both / and \\, while other portions did not. This inconsistent handling forced users to normalize paths for reliable matching. Now all of the generated regex should handle both / and \\.
• FIX: On Linux/Unix systems, a backslash should not be assumed literal if it is followed by a forward slash. Backslash is magic on all systems, and an escaped forward slash is still counted as a forward slash, not a backslash and forward slash.
• FIX: A trailing backslash that is not escaped via another backslash should not be assumed as a backslash. Since it is escaping nothing, it will be ignored. Literal backslashes on any system must be escaped.
