v2.4.0

🚀 Features & Enhancements

• Added support for project.el: Integrated Emacs' built-in project management for native root discovery.
• Fast Git-based detection: Added a check using git ls-files to instantly identify Python projects in Git repositories.
• Optimized recursive scanning: Implemented a depth-limited search (defaulting to 3) to prevent performance lag in large projects.
• Optional Dependencies: Refactored projectile to be an optional, lazy-loaded dependency.
• LSP Support: Added automatic support for lsp-pyright activation.

🛠 Fixes & Refactoring

• Improved Project Discovery: Optimized the fallback logic for manual project markers like .git, setup.py, and pyproject.toml.
• Code Cleanup: Removed the unused json dependency.
• Recursive Search Fix: Resolved performance bottlenecks when searching for .py files in deep directory structures.

v2.2.0

Key Changes in Version 2.2.0

1. Enhanced Documentation:

• Expanded header documentation to be more descriptive, making it suitable for MELPA/straight package managers.
• Created a detailed README.org to improve clarity around installation, configuration, and usage.
• The README now includes examples for common Emacs configurations (use-package, straight.el, and manual setup).

2. Project Structure and Version Management:

• Established a versioning workflow by adding a version tag (v2.2.0) in Git, providing a foundation for future tagged releases.
• Introduced Git commands for tagging and pushing, making version tracking and release management straightforward.

3. Configuration Customization:

• Added clearer customization options in the documentation:
  • auto-virtualenv-global-dirs: Define additional paths to search for virtual environments.
  • auto-virtualenv-python-project-files: Specify files that identify a Python project and trigger environment activation.
  • auto-virtualenv-activation-hooks: Select hooks that activate the environment (e.g., find-file-hook, projectile-after-switch-project-hook).
  • auto-virtualenv-verbose: Enable verbose mode for more detailed activation information.

4. LSP/pyright Integration Improvements:

• Enhanced lsp-mode and pyright integration, with a note in the README that auto-virtualenv can automatically reload these environments when switching projects, ensuring correct imports and autocompletion.

5. README.org File Format:

• Reformatted the README as a .org file to leverage org-mode for better Emacs integration and readability, especially useful for org-mode users.
• The README now includes relevant examples and clear context, improving onboarding and user experience.
