| 1 | +# Release v1.1.1 |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +**Release Date**: October 23, 2025 |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This is a patch release that restores Python 3.10 compatibility while maintaining support for newer Python versions. |

| 7 | +## 👌 Improvements |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### Python 3.10 Support Restored |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Python 3.10 support has been re-added to the project. Python 3.10 remains actively supported until October 2026, making it an important version to maintain compatibility with. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +**Key details:** |
| 14 | +- Python 3.10 is now fully supported alongside Python 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13 |
| 15 | +- All existing features work identically across all supported Python versions |
| 16 | +- Comprehensive test coverage ensures compatibility |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### Technical Implementation |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +**Version-Specific Sphinx Constraints:** |
| 21 | +- Python 3.10 is limited to **Sphinx 8.1.x** (maximum 8.1.3) |
| 22 | +- Python 3.11+ continues to use **Sphinx 8.2+** as normal |
| 23 | +- This constraint exists because Sphinx 8.2.0+ requires Python >=3.11 |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +The test infrastructure automatically handles these version-specific requirements, ensuring correct behavior across all combinations. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### Test Matrix Updates |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +**Supported Combinations:** |
| 30 | +- Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12: Sphinx 6, 7, 8 |
| 31 | +- Python 3.13: Sphinx 7, 8 |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +**Total: 11 test environments** (excludes Python 3.13 + Sphinx 6) |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Python 3.13 + Sphinx 6 was excluded because Sphinx 6.2.1 generates 1870+ deprecation warnings on Python 3.13 due to its use of deprecated `datetime.utcfromtimestamp()`. This is an unlikely real-world combination. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### CI/CD Improvements |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +- Updated GitHub Actions CI matrix to include Python 3.10 |
| 40 | +- Configured codecov to use Python 3.12 + Sphinx 8 as baseline |
| 41 | +- Implemented tokenless codecov uploads for public repository |
| 42 | +- Added version-specific test fixtures for Sphinx 8.1 vs 8.2+ compatibility |
| 43 | + |

| 61 | +- Sphinx 8 support is limited to 8.1.x on Python 3.10 |
| 62 | +- All features work identically to newer Python versions |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## 🐛 Bug Fixes |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +- Fixed test fixtures to handle Sphinx 8.1.x vs 8.2+ XML output differences |
