Motivation
----------

    « What ties us to territory is tax. »
    -- Kevin Deldycke, 2014-11-07

The reason above is why we need fine-grained and meticulous territory
management and normalization. This project aims to solve this problem once for
all.

Don't get me wrong, this work is a huge undertaking. Postal address parsing,
normalization and rendering is hard. Much harder than you think. Please read the
famous `Falsehoods programmers believe about addresses
<http://www.mjt.me.uk/posts/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-addresses/>`_
pamphlet.

This library is still in its early stages, but is good enough to implement
the new European Directives on VAT, which requires all e-commerce shops to
guess the locality of their EU customers depending on their billing address.


Stability policy
----------------

Here is a bunch of rules we're trying to follow regarding stability:

* Patch releases (``0.x.n`` → ``0.x.(n+1)`` upgrades) are bug-fix only. These
  releases must not break anything and keeps backward-compatibility with
  ``0.x.*`` and ``0.(x-1).*`` series.

* Minor releases (``0.n.*`` → ``0.(n+1).0`` upgrades) includes any non-bugfix
  changes. These releases must be backward-compatible with any ``0.n.*``
  version but are allowed to drop compatibility with the ``0.(n-1).*`` series
  and below.

* Major releases (``n.*.*`` → ``(n+1).0.0`` upgrades) are not planned yet:
  we're still in beta and the final feature set of the ``1.0.0`` release is not
  decided yet.


Release process
---------------

Start from the ``develop`` branch:

.. code-block:: bash

    git clone git@github.com:online-labs/postal-address.git
    git checkout develop

Update revision to its release number and update change log:

.. code-block:: bash

    vi ./postal_address/__init__.py
    vi ./CHANGES.rst

Create a release commit, tag it and merge it back to ``master`` branch:

.. code-block:: bash

    git add ./postal_address/__init__.py ./CHANGES.rst
    git commit -m "Release vXX.XX.XX"
    git tag "vXX.XX.XX"
    git push
    git push --tags
    git checkout master
    git pull
    git merge "vXX.XX.XX"
    git push

Push packaging to the test cheeseshop:

.. code-block:: bash

    python setup.py register -r testpypi
    pip install wheel
    rm -rf ./build ./dist
    python setup.py sdist bdist_egg bdist_wheel upload -r testpypi

Publish packaging to PyPi:

.. code-block:: bash

    python setup.py register -r pypi
    rm -rf ./build ./dist
    python setup.py sdist bdist_egg bdist_wheel upload -r pypi

Bump revision back to its development state:

.. code-block:: bash

    git checkout develop
    vi ./postal_address/__init__.py
    vi ./CHANGES.rst
    git add ./postal_address/__init__.py ./CHANGES.rst
    git commit -m "Post release version bump."

ChangeLog
=========


0.4.3 (2015-03-26)
------------------

* Fix rendering of subdivision-less addresses.


0.4.2 (2015-03-26)
------------------

* Fix ``country_code`` to ``subdivision_code`` validation if the latter is not
  set.


0.4.1 (2015-03-26)
------------------

* Base our custom ``InvalidAddress`` exception on ``ValueError`` to increase
  backward compatibility.


0.4.0 (2015-03-25)
------------------

* Show subdivision as-is in rendered address if not already printed by state,
  country or city.
* Document stability policy. Closes #8.
* Change internals to refer to address components as ``fields``.
* Raise custom exception on address validation a detailed list of invalid
  fields in one go. Closes #7.


0.3.3 (2015-03-25)
------------------

* Fix bad released version.


0.3.2 (2015-03-25)
------------------

* Add backward compatibility to the ``0.2`` series following territory utils
  split out of the ``address`` module. See #8 and #9.


0.3.1 (2015-03-05)
------------------

* Fix rendering of state in address.


0.3.0 (2015-03-04)
------------------

* Remove backward compatibility with 0.1.0.
* Allow direct import of classes from module root.
* Split territory utils out to their own file. See #3.
* Rename ``normalize_country_code`` to ``country_from_subdivision``. Mark the
  former as deprecated.
* Address normalization is now non-blocking. It simply reset invalid components
  to None. Only a call to ``validate`` method check data consistency.


0.2.1 (2014-12-22)
------------------

* Push a new release to fix cached desynced packages on cheeseshops and clones.


0.2.0 (2014-12-18)
------------------

* Package the whole module for proper distribution.


0.1.1 (2014-12-16)
------------------

* Restore partial backward compatibility with address module from 0.1.0.


0.1.0 (2014-12-15)
------------------

* First public release.


0.0.0 (2013-12-06)
------------------

* First commit.
