OmegaConf 2.0.0
2.0.0 (2020-05-04)
OmegaConf 2.0 is a major release introducing substantial new features, and introducing some incompatible changes.
The biggest new feature is Structured Configs, which extends OmegaConf into an schema validation system
as well as a configuration system.
With Structured Configs you can create OmegaConf objects from standard dataclasses or attr classes (or objects).
OmegaConf will retain the type information from the source object/class and validate that config mutations are legal.
This is the biggest OmegaConf release ever, the number of unit tests more than trippled (485 to 1571).
Features
- Add support for initializing OmegaConf from typed objects and classes (#87)
- DictConfig and ListConfig now implements typing.MutableMapping and typing.MutableSequence. (#114)
- Enums can now be used as values and keys (#87),(#137)
- Standardize exception messages (#186)
- In struct mode, exceptions raised on invalid access are now consistent with Python (#138),(#94)
- KeyError is raised when using dictionary access style for a missing key: cfg["foo"]
- AttributeError is raised when using attribute access style for a missing attribute: cfg.foo
- Structured configs can now inherit from Dict, making them open to arbitrary fields (#134)
- Container.pretty() now preserves insertion order by default. override with sort_keys=True (#161)
- Merge into node interpolation is now by value (copying target node) (#184)
- Add OmegaConf.{is_config, is_list, is_dict} to test if an Object is an OmegaConf object, and if it's a list or a dict (#101)
- Add OmegaConf.is_missing(cfg, key) to test if a key is missing ('???') in a config (#102)
- OmegaConf.is_interpolation queries if a node is an interpolation (#239)
- OmegaConf.is_missing queries if a node is missing (has the value '???') (#239)
- OmegaConf.is_optional queries if a node in the config is optional (can take None) (#239)
- OmegaConf.is_none queries if a node represents None (#239)
- OmegaConf now passes strict mypy tests (#105)
- Add isort to ensure imports are kept sorted (#107)
Bug Fixes
- Disable automatic conversion of date strings in yaml decoding (#95)
- Fixed pretty to handle strings with unicode characters correctly (#111)
- Fix eq fails if object contains unresolveable values (#124)
- Correctly throw MissingMandatoryValue on indirect access of missing value (#99)
- DictConfig pop now returns the underlying value and not ValueNode (#127)
- OmegaConf.select(key) now returns the root node when key is "" (#135)
- Add support for loading/saving config files by using pathlib.Path objects (#159)
- Fix AttributeError when accessing config in struct-mode with get() while providing None as default (#174)
Deprecations and Removals
- Renamed omegaconf.Config to omegaconf.Container (#103)
- Dropped support Python 2.7 and 3.5 (#88)
- cfg.select(key) deprecated in favor of OmegaConf.select(cfg, key) (#116)
- cfg.update(key, value) deprecated in favor of OmegaConf.update(cfg, key, value) (#116)
- Container.pretty() behavior change: sorted keys -> unsorted keys by default. override with sort_keys=True. (#161)

- cfg.save() is removed, deprecated since 1.4.0, use OmegaConf.save() (#188)
- DictConfig item deletion now throws ConfigTypeError if the config is in struct mode (#225)
