## History

### 4.0.1

* Remove GPL license file from AST subdirectory that was included by mistake.
  The package has always used LGPL and this change removes some confusion.

### 4.0.0

* Update AST to version 9.3.0.
* New minimum version of Python 3.11.
* Support Python 3.14 and numpy 2.0.
* Add support for SplineMap mapping.
* Fixed handling of `options` parameters in constructors (they were always ignored previously).
* Many internal cleanups associated with no longer having to support legacy versions.
* Improved detection of YAML library in a Conda environment.
* Now support standard build tooling and metadata via `pyproject.toml`.

### 3.15.4

* Upgrade AST internals to version 9.2.5.
