The development of PyFunceble 3.x will soon reach its End Of Life (OEL). This means that in the exception of some recurring error that impeaches the execution of PyFunceble, it will no longer get any new patch and bug fix.

But, that doesn't mean that you are not allowed to report issues regarding 3.x.
I (among others) am still going to be there to help you with a number of workarounds regarding your issues until the release of PyFunceble 4.0.0 (out of beta).

Scope

If your use case of PyFunceble(-dev) is not listed below, please ignore this message.

This message is intended to you if you:

• are using any version prior to 3.x.
• are using any version prior to 4.0.0a1

What to do?

If you are a new user, you are recommended to install PyFunceble 4.0.0b18 (beta) or later.

Otherwise, feel free to continue to use PyFunceble as usual until the release of PyFunceble 4.0.0. But, prepare yourself, your scripts, your automation toolchain, or your underlying infrastructure for the changes that PyFunceble 4.0.0 will make.

How to install PyFunceble 4.0.0b18 (beta) or later ?

Note: You can check the official (non-beta) version here for the Dev version of PyFuneceble and here for the stable version of PyFunceble. You an also follow this GitHub "Thread".

If you are reading this after the official release of PyFunceble 4.0.0 (out of beta) please install it with the following:

$ pip3 install --user pyfunceble-dev  ## Or pyfunceble if you prefer the stable version.

Otherwise (PyFunceble 4.0.0 still in beta), please install it with the following:

$ pip3 install --user --pre pyfunceble-dev ## NOTE: --pre is needed to download the pre-release (beta)

Warning: Please keep a backup of your PyFunceble related data before launching 4.0.0bX (beta). We already handled a huge palette of issues; but if you discover an issue in 4.0.0bX (beta) that isn't handled yet, it is better to have a backup that may help us reproduce your issue.

Note: If you prefer to install it system-wide, you are required to remove the --user flag and run pip3 as a superuser/administrator.

Why this change?

Because I'm working on 4.0.0 for long enough. It is also important to keep you informed and to get as many people as possible to test 4.0.0b18 or later (beta) so that we can avoid as many issues as possible.

What to expect?

If you are reading this after the official release of PyFunceble 4.0.0 (out of beta), there is nothing special to expect as we tested PyFunceble 4.0.0 in alpha then in beta for weeks.

Otherwise, if you are joining us with PyFunceble 4.0.0b18 (beta) or later, in some rare - and still not met yet - cases, you may not be able to start PyFunceble. If it happens, you are invited to report it to us here so I can fix the issue.
