2.2.0 (2013-09-24)

*Bugfix:*

    - Removed duplicated :class:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory` lurking in :mod:`factory`
      (:issue:`83`)
    - Properly handle sequences within object inheritance chains.
      If FactoryA inherits from FactoryB, and their associated classes share the same link,
      sequence counters will be shared (:issue:`93`)
    - Properly handle nested :class:`~factory.SubFactory` overrides

*New:*

    - The :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory` now supports the ``FACTORY_FOR = 'myapp.MyModel'``
      syntax, making it easier to shove all factories in a single module (:issue:`66`).
    - Add :meth:`factory.debug()` helper for easier backtrace analysis
    - Adding factory support for mongoengine with :class:`~factory.mongoengine.MongoEngineFactory`.

.. _v2.1.2:

------------------

*New:*

    - The :class:`~factory.Factory.ABSTRACT_FACTORY` keyword is now optional, and automatically set
      to ``True`` if neither the :class:`~factory.Factory` subclass nor its parent declare the
      :class:`~factory.Factory.FACTORY_FOR` attribute (:issue:`74`)


.. _v2.1.1:

2.1.1 (2013-07-02)

    - Add a :attr:`~factory.containers.LazyStub.factory_parent` attribute to the
      :class:`~factory.containers.LazyStub` passed to :class:`~factory.LazyAttribute`, in order to access
      fields defined in wrapping factories.
    - Move :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory` and :class:`~factory.mogo.MogoFactory`
      to their own modules (:mod:`factory.django` and :mod:`factory.mogo`)
    - Add the :meth:`~factory.Factory.reset_sequence` classmethod to :class:`~factory.Factory`
      to ease resetting the sequence counter for a given factory.
    - Add debug messages to ``factory`` logger.
    - Add a :meth:`~factory.Iterator.reset` method to :class:`~factory.Iterator` (:issue:`63`)
    - Add support for the SQLAlchemy ORM through :class:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory`
      (:issue:`64`, thanks to `Romain Commandé <https://github.com/rcommande>`_)

2.0.1 (2013-04-16)
------------------

.. _changelog-1-3-0-upgrading:

Upgrading
"""""""""

This version deprecates a few magic or undocumented features.
All warnings will turn into errors starting from v2.0.0.

In order to upgrade client code, apply the following rules:

- Add a ``FACTORY_FOR`` attribute pointing to the target class to each
  :class:`~factory.Factory`, instead of relying on automagic associated class
  discovery
- When using factory_boy for Django models, have each factory inherit from
  :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory`
- Replace ``factory.CircularSubFactory('some.module', 'Symbol')`` with
  ``factory.SubFactory('some.module.Symbol')``
- Replace ``factory.InfiniteIterator(iterable)`` with ``factory.Iterator(iterable)``
- Replace ``@factory.post_generation()`` with ``@factory.post_generation``
- Replace ``factory.set_building_function(SomeFactory, building_function)`` with
  an override of the :meth:`~factory.Factory._build` method of ``SomeFactory``
- Replace ``factory.set_creation_function(SomeFactory, creation_function)`` with
  an override of the :meth:`~factory.Factory._create` method of ``SomeFactory``
