## 5.0.0 (2023-10-11)

* Breaking Changes
    * Migrate `ExtractResult` from `namedtuple` to `dataclass` ([#306](https://github.com/john-kurkowski/tldextract/issues/306))
        * This means no more iterating/indexing/slicing/unpacking the result
          object returned by this library. It is no longer a tuple. You must
          directly reference the fields you're interested in.

          For example, the
          following will no longer work.
          ```python
          tldextract.extract("example.com")[1:3]
          # TypeError: 'ExtractResult' object is not subscriptable
          ```
          Instead, use the following.
          ```python
          ext = tldextract.extract("example.com")
          (ext.domain, ext.suffix)
          ```
* Bugfixes
    * Drop support for EOL Python 3.7
* Misc.
    * Switch from pycodestyle and Pylint to Ruff ([#304](https://github.com/john-kurkowski/tldextract/issues/304))
    * Consolidate config files
    * Type tests
    * Require docstrings in tests
    * Remove obsolete tests

## 4.0.0 (2023-10-11)

* **Breaking** bugfixes
    * Always include suffix if private suffix enabled and private suffix exists ([#300](https://github.com/john-kurkowski/tldextract/issues/300))
        * Add a 4th field `is_private: bool`, to the `ExtractResult`
          `namedtuple`, indicating whether the extraction came from the PSL's
          private domains or not.
        * **This could cause issues when iterating over the tuple and assuming
          only 3 fields.**
        * Previously, the docs promoted iteration to rejoin parts of the tuple.
          This is better achieved by individual access of fields of interest
          (e.g. `ExtractResult.subdomain`) or convenience properties (e.g.
          `ExtractResult.{fqdn,registered_domain}`).

## 2.0.0 (2016-04-21)

No changes since 2.0rc1.

## 2.0rc1 (2016-04-04)

This release focuses on shedding confusing code branches & deprecated cruft.

* Breaking Changes
    * Renamed/changed the type of `TLDExtract` constructor param
      `suffix_list_url`
        * It used to take a `str` or iterable. Its replacement,
          `suffix_list_urls` only takes an iterable. This better communicates
          that it tries a _sequence_ of URLs, in order. To only try 1 URL, pass
          an iterable with exactly 1 URL `str`.
    * Serialize the local cache of the remote PSL as JSON (no more `pickle`) - [#81](https://github.com/john-kurkowski/tldextract/issues/81)
        * This should be a transparent upgrade for most users.
        * However, if you're configured to _only_ read from your local cache
          file, no other sources or fallbacks, the new version will be unable
          to read the old cache format, and an error will be raised.
    * Remove deprecated code
        * `TLDExtract`'s `fetch` param. To disable live HTTP requests for the
          latest PSL, instead pass `suffix_list_urls=None`.
        * `ExtractResult.tld` property. Use `ExtractResult.suffix` instead.
    * Moved code
        * Split `tldextract.tldextract` into a few files.
            * The official public interface of this package comes via `import
              tldextract`. But if you were relying on direct import from
              `tldextract.tldextract` anyway, those imports may have moved.
            * You can run the package `python -m tldextract` for the same
              effect as the included `tldextract` console script. This used to
              be `python -m tldextract.tldextract`.
* Misc.
    * Use `requests` instead of `urllib` - [#89](https://github.com/john-kurkowski/tldextract/issues/89)
        * As a side-effect, this fixes [#93](https://github.com/john-kurkowski/tldextract/pull/93).
