Changelog 2025.11.11

Nov 11, 2025 • Anders Berkeman, Carl Drougge, and Sofia Hörberg

This covers important changes since the 2024.6.11 release, as nothing was written about the releases between then and now. They were mostly bug fix releases.

Highlights

• analysis_res.merge_auto() no longer allows overwriting dict items by default.

Board

• The urd item and build script views shows files that were link_result()ed.

In your build scripts

• Urd now allows any number of timestamp pieces in any order. Previously it was exactly one (optional) timestamp followed by one (optional) integer. Now you can use horrors like 7+2025-11-03+2024-05-14+1+2+3 if you need to.
• job.link_result() now takes optional header and description arguments that will decorate the result in board’s urd item and build script views.

In your methods

• analysis_res.merge_auto() is not new, and does mostly the same thing it has always done, but now it will raise an Exception if there are duplicate keys in the innermost level of dicts. (It is still allowed in sets and Counters.) There is a new allow_override parameter to control this behaviour.

And finally

• More tests.
• Various bug fixes / minor improvements of course.

Note: This is the last release to support Python 2.7 and 3.5.
