Updates the requirements on flit-core to permit the latest version.

Changelog

Sourced from flit-core's changelog.

Version 4.0.2

  • Fix invalid metadata files with Import-Name (:ghissue:813).

Version 4.0.1

No changes, but a new tag to trigger an upload to PyPI now that twine will accept it.

Version 4.0

This version contains breaking changes, but most projects which are already using the [project] table for metadata shouldn't be affected, and can simply change the flit_core <4 constraint to <5.

  • The [tool.flit.metadata] table is no longer used for project metadata (:ghpull:771). Use the newer :ref:[project] table <pyproject_toml_project> instead (or if that is not possible, build with flit_core <4).
  • :ref:build_cmd and :ref:publish_cmd no longer include files in the sdist based on what is committed in git or Mercurial (:ghpull:772). These commands now build packages more like Flit does when called as a backend by e.g. python -m build. Specify :ref:sdist include & exclude patterns <pyproject_toml_sdist> instead (Flit can help to generate these), or pass the --use-vcs option to get the old behaviour back.
  • flit_core now requires Python 3.8 or above (:ghpull:738)
  • The --setup-py option to generate sdists containing a setup.py file is no longer available (:ghpull:776).
  • Making typing stubs packages with a -stubs suffix will now work (:ghpull:742).
  • The default glob patterns for license files have been extended to include NOTICE* and AUTHORS* (:ghpull:758).
  • license-files glob patterns can contain spaces (:ghpull:797).
  • Fix a bug where license files could be found twice on Windows (:ghpull:752).
  • The new Import-Name and Import-Namespace metadata fields (metadata 2.5) are now supported (:ghpull:774). In most cases no new input is required, as Flit will create this metadata automatically.
  • Fix creating RECORD files when file names include commas (:ghpull:744).
  • The --use-vcs option now correctly recognises git from inside a git worktree folder (:ghpull:799).
  • On Python 3.12 and above, flit build now uses the 'data' filter when extracting the just-created sdist prior to building a wheel (:ghpull:775). This restricts some special features of tar files, but sdists are unlikely to use these features, and they would probably break in other scenarios if you did.
  • The vendorised readme_renderer package was updated to version 44.0 (:ghpull:760).
