v2.1.0

All methods now allow you to provide a callable which will be used to filter values being returned, the number of tries, and a default value to be returned if the filter cannot match the values being generated after the number of tries. (2a7523, @renzon)

v2.0.9

• Force randomness every time random is used to make sure
  that unique values are generated when running on multi-process
  environments, such as py.test with the pytest-xdist plugin.

v2.0.8

• Updated the gen_mac method to allow the generation of unicast/multicast and globally/locally MAC addresses.

v2.0.7

• Updated the gen_ipaddr method to allow the generation of IP
  addresses that start with a valid range prefix. (048715d, @mfalesni)

v2.0.6

Thanks to James Laska FauxFactory is now compatible with python 2.6.

v2.0.5

Improved unicode letters generator

Added a new helper for the gen_utf8 function which improves how we generate unicode letters and avoids generating unicode string with control characters and other non letters characters.

Also adds tests for the generator in order to ensure it is not generating unwanted characters.

v2.0.4

• Altered gen_integer to properly check for long() on Python 2.

v2.0.3

2.0.3 (2014-12-17)

• Dropped the class-wide FauxFactory deprecation warning.
• Refactored the deprecated decorator function to comply with pylint
  and flake8.
• Make gen_netmask verify function arguments.
• Make gen_netmask raise a ValueError if min_cidr is less than
  0 or max_cidr is greater than 32. Add tests for this boundary
  checking code.
• Improvements to constants and documentation.

v2.0.2

Added new netmask random generator, thanks to @elyezer! You can now generate a netmask value using:

from fauxfactory import gen_netmask

gen_netmask()
u'255.255.255.252'

You can also generate a netmask value that falls within valid CIDR values:

gen_netmask(min_cidr=4)
u'255.255.255.252'

gen_netmask(min_cidr=4, max_cidr=10)
u'252.0.0.0'

v2.0.1

What's new? Basically:

• If your code still uses the older code and imports the FauxFactory class or tries to use one of its functions, a deprecation message is now displayed:

In [1]: from fauxfactory import FauxFactory
fauxfactory/__init__.py:721: Warning: The FauxFactory class is deprecated. Please use functions from the fauxfactory module instead.
  category=Warning)

In [2]: FauxFactory.generate_utf8()
fauxfactory/__init__.py:697: Warning: Function generate_utf8 is now deprecated! Please update your your code to use the gen_utf8 function instead.
  warnings.warn(warn_message.format(name, new_name), category=Warning)
Out[2]: u'\u3ca8\ucc98\uaf06\uef9c\uc7e7\ub10f\u8554\u8ec0\uf64c\ub6a1'

• The gen_string function now has a default for the length argument, which means that you can call gen_string('utf8') without having to pass a default value.

In [1]: from fauxfactory import gen_string

In [2]: gen_string('utf8')
Out[2]: u'\u0d53\ufebf\u336b\uffb1\u3899\u3c4d\u1d2b\ub9f9\u0f36\uef60'

... and that's all for now :)
