This document catalogs the changes to decree-tree.

Some versions have been released, others not.

In progress…

This release includes several substantial refactorings and enhancements, including but not limited to:

Renamed TreeContainer class to Tree, changed it to use a generic type var, and moved its definition to a separate module.
Renamed Tree methods to consistently refer to the parent or child, retaining helper methods add() and get() in DecreeTree.
Clarified that add_arguments() modifies its parser argument, not directly a class or instance variable.
Ensured that run() can be executed from non-root commands in the assembled tree.
Improved arguments to __init__(), along with creating __str__() and __repr__() methods. This removes the prog_or_name argument to __init__(), replacing it with name and prog_is_name.
Changed the summary() method into the structure property and improved its output.
Created AbstractDT class to facilitate abstract DecreeTree inheritance.
Removed Decree class from top level of package import.
Changed the inheritance behavior of commands, including from abstract parent classes and manual tree association, and the inherit class argument.
Enhanced customization of parsers with Decree.parser_options() and DecreeTree.subparsers_options()
Improved typing throughout the package, with a goal of clear documentation and IDE hinting.
Greatly expanded the test suite, reaching greater than 90% coverage.
Created extensive documentation, including embedded tests.
Started use of GitLab CI for testing and package building.
Lowered the minimum version required for the typing-extensions package.

This version was manually pushed to PyPI and the documentation site, as the CI pipeline was still under development.

The first working version of the tool. Still in a developmental state, this version was not released as a package.

The initial commit, tagged for posterity.
