- Add support for Python 3.12
- :issue:`903`: Add basic typing annotations
- Run the test suite against ``mongomock`` instead of an actual MongoDB server

*Bugfix:*

- :issue:`1031`: Do not require :attr:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyOptions.sqlalchemy_session` when
:attr:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyOptions.sqlalchemy_session_factory` is provided.

*Removed:*

- Stop advertising and verifying support for Django 3.2, 4.0, 4.1

3.3.0

------------------

*New:*

 - :issue:`366`: Add :class:`factory.django.Password` to generate Django :class:`~django.contrib.auth.models.User`
   passwords.
 - :issue:`304`: Add :attr:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyOptions.sqlalchemy_session_factory` to dynamically
   create sessions for use by the :class:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory`.
 - Add support for Django 4.0
 - Add support for Django 4.1
 - Add support for Python 3.10
 - Add support for Python 3.11

*Bugfix:*

 - Make :meth:`~factory.django.mute_signals` mute signals during post-generation.

 - :issue:`775`: Change the signature for :class:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory`'s ``_save`` and
   ``_get_or_create`` methods to avoid argument names clashes with a field named ``session``.

*Deprecated:*

 - :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory` will stop issuing a second call to
   :meth:`~django.db.models.Model.save` on the created instance when :ref:`post-generation-hooks` return a value.

   To help with the transition, :class:`factory.django.DjangoModelFactory`'s ``_after_postgeneration`` raises a
   :class:`DeprecationWarning` when calling :meth:`~django.db.models.Model.save`. Inspect your
   :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory` subclasses:

   - If the :meth:`~django.db.models.Model.save` call is not needed after :class:`~factory.PostGeneration`, set
     :attr:`factory.django.DjangoOptions.skip_postgeneration_save` to ``True`` in the factory meta.

   - Otherwise, the instance has been modified by :class:`~factory.PostGeneration` hooks and needs to be
     :meth:`~django.db.models.Model.save`\ d. Either:

       - call :meth:`django.db.models.Model.save` in the :class:`~factory.PostGeneration` hook that modifies the
         instance, or
       - override the :class:`~factory.Factory._after_postgeneration` method to
         :meth:`~django.db.models.Model.save` the instance.

*Removed:*

 - Drop support for Django 2.2
 - Drop support for Django 3.0
 - Drop support for Django 3.1
 - Drop support for Python 3.6
 - Drop support for Python 3.7

3.2.1

------------------

*New:*
 - Add support for Django 3.2

*Bugfix:*

 - Do not override signals receivers registered in a :meth:`~factory.django.mute_signals` context.

 - :issue:`775`: Change the signature for :class:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory`'s ``_save`` and
   ``_get_or_create`` methods to avoid argument names clashes with a field named ``session``.

3.2.0

------------------

*New:*

 - Add support for Django 3.1
 - Add support for Python 3.9

*Removed:*

 - Drop support for Django 1.11. This version `is not maintained anymore <https://www.djangoproject.com/download/#supported-versions>`__.
 - Drop support for Python 3.5. This version `is not maintained anymore <https://devguide.python.org/developer-workflow/development-cycle/index.html#end-of-life-branches>`__.

*Deprecated:*

 - :func:`factory.use_strategy`. Use :attr:`factory.FactoryOptions.strategy` instead.
   The purpose of :func:`~factory.use_strategy` duplicates the factory option. Follow :pep:`20`: *There should be
   one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.*

   :func:`~factory.use_strategy()` will be removed in the next major version.

*Bug fix:*

 - :issue:`785` :issue:`786` :issue:`787` :issue:`788` :issue:`790` :issue:`796`: Calls to :class:`factory.Faker`
   and :class:`factory.django.FileField` within a :class:`~factory.Trait` or :class:`~factory.Maybe` no longer lead to
   a ``KeyError`` crash.

3.1.0

------------------

*New:*

 - Allow all types of declarations in :class:`factory.Faker` calls - enables references to other faker-defined attributes.

3.0.1

------------------

-------------------

*New:*

2.11.0

-------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - Fix :class:`~factory.fuzzy.FuzzyFloat` to return a 15 decimal digits precision float by default
 - :issue:`451`: Restore :class:`~factory.django.FileField` to a
   ``factory.declarations.ParameteredAttribute``, relying on composition to parse the provided parameters.
 - :issue:`389`: Fix random state management with ``faker``.
 - :issue:`466`: Restore mixing :class:`~factory.Trait` and :meth:`~factory.post_generation`.

2.10.0

-------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - :issue:`443`: Don't crash when calling :meth:`factory.Iterator.reset()` on a brand new iterator.

*New:*

 - :issue:`397`: Allow a :class:`factory.Maybe` to contain a :class:`~factory.PostGeneration` declaration.
   This also applies to :class:`factory.Trait`, since they use a :class:`factory.Maybe` declaration internally.

2.9.2

------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - Fix declaration corruption bug when a factory defined `foo__bar__baz=1` and a caller
   provided a `foo__bar=x` parameter at call time: this got merged into the factory's base
   declarations.

2.9.1

------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - Fix packaging issues (see https://github.com/zestsoftware/zest.releaser/issues/212)
 - Don't crash when debugging PostGenerationDeclaration

2.9.0

------------------

This version brings massive changes to the core engine, thus reducing the number of
corner cases and weird behaviors.

*New:*

 - :issue:`275`: `factory.fuzzy` and `factory.faker` now use the same random seed.
 - Add :class:`factory.Maybe`, which chooses among two possible declarations based
   on another field's value (powers the :class:`~factory.Trait` feature).
 - :class:`~factory.PostGenerationMethodCall` only allows to pass one positional argument; use keyword arguments for
   extra parameters.

*Deprecation:*

 - `factory.fuzzy.get_random_state` is deprecated, `factory.random.get_random_state` should be used instead.
 - `factory.fuzzy.set_random_state` is deprecated, `factory.random.set_random_state` should be used instead.
 - `factory.fuzzy.reseed_random` is deprecated, `factory.random.reseed_random` should be used instead.

2.8.1

------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - Fix packaging issues.

2.8.0

------------------

*New:*

 - :issue:`240`: Call post-generation declarations in the order they were declared,
   thanks to `Oleg Pidsadnyi <https://github.com/olegpidsadnyi>`_.
 - :issue:`309`: Provide new options for SQLAlchemy session persistence

*Bug fix:*

 - :issue:`334`: Adjust for the package change in ``faker``

2.7.0

------------------

*New:*

 - :pr:`267`: Add :class:`factory.LazyFunction` to remove unneeded lambda parameters,
   thanks to `Hervé Cauwelier <https://github.com/bors-ltd>`_.
 - :issue:`251`: Add :ref:`parameterized factories <parameters>` and :class:`traits <factory.Trait>`
 - :pr:`256`, :pr:`292`: Improve error messages in corner cases

*Removed:*

 - :pr:`278`: Formally drop support for Python2.6

.. warning:: Version 2.7.0 moves all error classes to
          `factory.errors`. This breaks existing import statements
          for any error classes except those importing
          `FactoryError` directly from the `factory` module.

2.6.1

------------------

*New:*

 - :pr:`262`: Allow optional forced flush on SQLAlchemy, courtesy of `Minjung <https://github.com/Minjung>`_.

2.6.0

------------------

*New:*

 - Add :attr:`factory.FactoryOptions.rename` to help handle conflicting names (:issue:`206`)
 - Add support for random-yet-realistic values through `fake-factory <https://pypi.org/project/fake-factory/>`_,
   through the :class:`factory.Faker` class.
 - :class:`factory.Iterator` no longer begins iteration of its argument at import time,
   thus allowing to pass in a lazy iterator such as a Django queryset
   (i.e ``factory.Iterator(models.MyThingy.objects.all())``).
 - Simplify imports for ORM layers, now available through a simple ``factory`` import,
   at ``factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory`` / ``factory.django.DjangoModelFactory`` / ``factory.mongoengine.MongoEngineFactory``.

*Bug fix:*

 - :issue:`201`: Properly handle custom Django managers when dealing with abstract Django models.
 - :issue:`212`: Fix :meth:`factory.django.mute_signals` to handle Django's signal caching
 - :issue:`228`: Don't load ``django.apps.apps.get_model()`` until required
 - :pr:`219`: Stop using ``mogo.model.Model.new()``, deprecated 4 years ago.

2.5.2

------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - Add support for Django 1.7/1.8
 - Add support for mongoengine>=0.9.0 / pymongo>=2.1

2.5.1

------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - Respect custom managers in :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory` (see :issue:`192`)
 - Allow passing declarations (e.g :class:`~factory.Sequence`) as parameters to :class:`~factory.django.FileField`
   and :class:`~factory.django.ImageField`.

2.5.0

------------------

*New:*

 - Add support for getting/setting :mod:`factory.fuzzy`'s random state (see :issue:`175`, :issue:`185`).
 - Support lazy evaluation of iterables in :class:`factory.fuzzy.FuzzyChoice` (see :issue:`184`).
 - Support non-default databases at the factory level (see :issue:`171`)
 - Make :class:`factory.django.FileField` and :class:`factory.django.ImageField` non-post_generation, i.e normal fields also available in ``save()`` (see :issue:`141`).

*Bug fix:*

 - Avoid issues when using :meth:`factory.django.mute_signals` on a base factory class (see :issue:`183`).
 - Fix limitations of :class:`factory.StubFactory`, that can now use :class:`factory.SubFactory` and co (see :issue:`131`).


*Deprecation:*

 - Remove deprecated features from :ref:`v2.4.0`
 - Remove the auto-magical sequence setup (based on the latest primary key value in the database) for Django and SQLAlchemy;
   this relates to issues :issue:`170`, :issue:`153`, :issue:`111`, :issue:`103`, :issue:`92`, :issue:`78`. See https://github.com/FactoryBoy/factory_boy/commit/13d310f for technical details.

.. warning:: Version 2.5.0 removes the 'auto-magical sequence setup' bug-and-feature.
          This could trigger some bugs when tests expected a non-zero sequence reference.

Upgrading
"""""""""

.. warning:: Version 2.5.0 removes features that were marked as deprecated in :ref:`v2.4.0 <v2.4.0>`.

All ``FACTORY_*``-style attributes are now declared in a ``class Meta:`` section:

.. code-block:: python

  Old-style, deprecated
 class MyFactory(factory.Factory):
     FACTORY_FOR = models.MyModel
     FACTORY_HIDDEN_ARGS = ['a', 'b', 'c']

  New-style
 class MyFactory(factory.Factory):
     class Meta:
         model = models.MyModel
         exclude = ['a', 'b', 'c']

A simple shell command to upgrade the code would be:

.. code-block:: sh

  sed -i: inplace update
  grep -l: only file names, not matching lines
 sed -i 's/FACTORY_FOR =/class Meta:\n        model =/' $(grep -l FACTORY_FOR $(find . -name '*.py'))

This takes care of all ``FACTORY_FOR`` occurrences; the files containing other attributes to rename can be found with ``grep -R  FACTORY .``

2.4.1

------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - Fix overriding deeply inherited attributes (set in one factory, overridden in a subclass, used in a sub-sub-class).

2.4.0

------------------

*New:*

 - Add support for :attr:`factory.fuzzy.FuzzyInteger.step`, thanks to `ilya-pirogov <https://github.com/ilya-pirogov>`_ (:pr:`120`)
 - Add :meth:`~factory.django.mute_signals` decorator to temporarily disable some signals, thanks to `ilya-pirogov <https://github.com/ilya-pirogov>`_ (:pr:`122`)
 - Add :class:`~factory.fuzzy.FuzzyFloat` (:issue:`124`)
 - Declare target model and other non-declaration fields in a ``class Meta`` section.

*Deprecation:*

 - Use of ``FACTORY_FOR`` and other ``FACTORY`` class-level attributes is deprecated and will be removed in 2.5.
   Those attributes should now declared within the :class:`class Meta <factory.FactoryOptions>` attribute:

   For :class:`factory.Factory`:

   * Rename ``factory.Factory.FACTORY_FOR`` to :attr:`~factory.FactoryOptions.model`
   * Rename ``factory.Factory.ABSTRACT_FACTORY`` to :attr:`~factory.FactoryOptions.abstract`
   * Rename ``factory.Factory.FACTORY_STRATEGY`` to :attr:`~factory.FactoryOptions.strategy`
   * Rename ``factory.Factory.FACTORY_ARG_PARAMETERS`` to :attr:`~factory.FactoryOptions.inline_args`
   * Rename ``factory.Factory.FACTORY_HIDDEN_ARGS`` to :attr:`~factory.FactoryOptions.exclude`

   For :class:`factory.django.DjangoModelFactory`:

   * Rename ``factory.django.DjangoModelFactory.FACTORY_DJANGO_GET_OR_CREATE`` to :attr:`~factory.django.DjangoOptions.django_get_or_create`

   For :class:`factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory`:

   * Rename ``factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory.FACTORY_SESSION`` to :attr:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyOptions.sqlalchemy_session`

2.3.1

------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - Fix badly written assert containing state-changing code, spotted by ``chsigi`` (:pr:`126`)
 - Don't crash when handling objects whose ``__repr__`` is non-pure-ASCII bytes on Python 2,
   discovered by `mbertheau <https://github.com/mbertheau>`_ (:issue:`123`) and `strycore <https://github.com/strycore>`_ (:pr:`127`)

 - Add :class:`~factory.fuzzy.FuzzyDecimal`, thanks to `thedrow <https://github.com/thedrow>`_ (:pr:`94`)
 - Add support for :class:`~mongoengine.EmbeddedDocument`, thanks to `imiric <https://github.com/imiric>`_ (:pr:`100`)

2.2.1

------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - Fixed sequence counter for :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory` when a factory
   inherits from another factory relating to an abstract model.

2.2.0

------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - Removed duplicated :class:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory` lurking in :mod:`factory`
   (:pr:`83`)
 - Properly handle sequences within object inheritance chains.
   If ``FactoryA`` inherits from ``FactoryB``, and their associated classes
   share the same link, sequence counters will be shared (:issue:`93`)
 - Properly handle nested :class:`~factory.SubFactory` overrides

*New:*

 - The :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory` now supports the ``FACTORY_FOR = 'myapp.MyModel'``
   syntax, making it easier to shove all factories in a single module (:issue:`66`).
 - Add :meth:`factory.debug()` helper for easier backtrace analysis
 - Adding factory support for mongoengine with :class:`~factory.mongoengine.MongoEngineFactory`.

2.1.2

------------------

*New:*

 - The ``factory.Factory.ABSTRACT_FACTORY`` keyword is now optional, and automatically set
   to ``True`` if neither the :class:`~factory.Factory` subclass nor its parent declare the
   ``factory.Factory.FACTORY_FOR`` attribute (:issue:`74`)

2.1.1

------------------

*Bug fix:*

 - Properly retrieve the ``color`` keyword argument passed to :class:`~factory.django.ImageField`

2.1.0

------------------

*New:*

 - Add :class:`~factory.fuzzy.FuzzyDate` thanks to `saulshanabrook <https://github.com/saulshanabrook>`_
 - Add :class:`~factory.fuzzy.FuzzyDateTime` and :class:`~factory.fuzzy.FuzzyNaiveDateTime`.

   fields defined in wrapping factories.
 - Move :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory` and :class:`~factory.mogo.MogoFactory`
   to their own modules (:mod:`factory.django` and :mod:`factory.mogo`)
 - Add the :meth:`~factory.Factory.reset_sequence` classmethod to :class:`~factory.Factory`
   to ease resetting the sequence counter for a given factory.
 - Add debug messages to ``factory`` logger.
 - Add a :meth:`~factory.Iterator.reset` method to :class:`~factory.Iterator` (:issue:`63`)
 - Add support for the SQLAlchemy ORM through :class:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory`

 - Disable :class:`~factory.RelatedFactory` generation when a specific value was
   passed (:issue:`62`, thanks to `Gabe Koscky <https://github.com/dhekke>`_)

*Deprecation:*

 - Rename :class:`~factory.RelatedFactory`'s ``name`` argument to ``factory_related_name`` (See :issue:`58`)

2.0.2

------------------

*New:*

.. _changelog-1-3-0-upgrading:

Upgrading
"""""""""

This version deprecates a few magic or undocumented features.
All warnings will turn into errors starting from v2.0.0.

In order to upgrade client code, apply the following rules:

- Add a ``FACTORY_FOR`` attribute pointing to the target class to each
:class:`~factory.Factory`, instead of relying on automatic associated class
discovery
- When using factory_boy for Django models, have each factory inherit from
:class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory`
- Replace ``factory.CircularSubFactory('some.module', 'Symbol')`` with
``factory.SubFactory('some.module.Symbol')``
- Replace ``factory.InfiniteIterator(iterable)`` with ``factory.Iterator(iterable)``
- Replace ``factory.post_generation()`` with ``factory.post_generation``
- Replace ``factory.set_building_function(SomeFactory, building_function)`` with
an override of the :meth:`~factory.Factory._build` method of ``SomeFactory``
- Replace ``factory.set_creation_function(SomeFactory, creation_function)`` with
an override of the :meth:`~factory.Factory._create` method of ``SomeFactory``

1.2.0

------------------

*New:*
