Version 2.2.6

Fixes a bug where properties did not load as expected on objects when using object templates. As of this release, the functionality is such that if properties are defined on both an object, and it's template, they will both end up on the resulting object, with the ones defined directly on the object overriding any properties that have the same name from the template. It does not compare types, so a String property with the name test would override a number property with the name test, as an example. Comparing types could be done in the future, but is likely more complicated than it's worth doing right now.

Fixes a bug where the TMX parser would report all layers as top level layers, ignoring the layer group nesting. This bug was not present in the JSON parser. (#74)

Also handles some small deprecation warnings related to true/false comparisons of etree.Element classes in the TMX parser.

Version 2.2.5

Adds a __all__ section to the main library __init__.py file which fixes problems when running pyright in strict mode against this library, it would not be able to see the exported types.

Version 2.2.4

Small change to the default text color, in Tiled the text color defaults to black(0, 0, 0), previously in pytiled-parser if the color was not specified it would default to white(255, 255, 255). This has been changed to match Tiled's behavior #70

Added a py.typed file in order for type checkers to identify the library as being typed properly.

Version 2.2.3

Exposed tileset parsing more directly. This was possible by accessing the largely internal interfaces within pytiled_parser already, but this provides the same interface for parsing Tilesets as we have for parsing maps. You can parse a tileset by simply passing the filepath to pytiled_parser.parse_tileset(file) where file is a pathlib.Path object.

We have also removed some unnecessary Optional typing from some attributes. This does technically mean there are changes to the API, but they shouldn't really effect anything. The pytiled_parser.Tile.width and pytiled_parser.Tile.height attributes will now default to 0 if they are not set. Under normal circumstances there does not exist a scenario where they can not be set, the only use case that would cause this to happen would be if the map/tileset file does not follow the Tiled specification. The pytiled_parser.TiledMap.map_file attribute is also no longer optional, but does not have a default. This does mean if you were using the constructor for this class directly instead of the parsing functions, you would need to fix your usage of it, however it is extremely unlikely that anyone is doing that.

Version 2.2.2

Switched to pyproject.toml for project setup. This should have no impact on users unless you are on a very old version of pip. If pip fails to install pytiled-parser, please try updating pip.

Fixed a bug in the TMX format where overriding or adding extra elements/attributes to object templates would not be applied. Only the id and the x, y position would be used. Now any overriden values(including properties) should be applied to the template. This bug did not exist in the JSON format, however there was no test coverage for this scenario in either format, that has since been added.

Version 2.2.1

Added official support for Python 3.11. No changes were actually made to do this, and most all previous versions of pytiled-parser should work fine with 3.11. We are just now including 3.11 in the matrix of Python versions we run tests for.

Improved compatibility for pre-1.0 Tiled JSON formats(#65). This does not necessarily mean we guarantee support with older versions of Tiled, support for older versions will be on a best effort approach.

Version 2.2.0

Added support for the following features from Tiled which were added in either Tiled 1.8 or 1.9. If you would like some more info on some of these items, please refer to the release notes from Tiled for those versions:

• Tilesets

  • Tileset.tile_render_size has been added, which reflects the tilerendersize attribute from Tiled. This is a string value which can be either "tile" or "grid". This is used to determine the size the tile will render at. This defaults to tile and is the only behavior prior to Tiled 1.9, meaning it will use the size specified by the Tile. If this is set to grid it will scale the tiles to the size defined the grid in the map.
  • Tileset.fill_mode has been added, which reflects the fillmode attribute from Tiled. This is a string value which can be either "stretch" or "preserve-aspect-ratio". This is used to define how the scaling will be done when a tile is not rendered at it's native size(Like when using the grid option for tilerendersize).
  • The Tile class has four new attributes: x, y, width, and height. By default, x and y will be zero, and width and height will be the same as image_width and image_height. These values are only able to changed for tiles which use an individual image rather than a single image file for the whole tileset. These values are used to define a sub-rectangle of the image which the Tile should be loaded as. These are all separate attributes rather than using the OrderedPair and Size classes as this is somewhat of a developing feature in Tiled in an effort to support sprite atlasses, and so for now we are going to just stick as closely to the underlying format as possible for it, to make future changes easier.

• Layers

  • Added repeat_x and repeat_y attributes. These are derived from the repeatx and repeaty attributes in Tiled. These are boolean values which are used to determine if a layer should be repeated on a given axis when drawn. As of writing in Tiled these values can only be applied to Image layers, however it is possible other types will support this in the future. To prepare for this, these values are available to all layer types in pytiled_parser, and they will default to False.

• Maps

  • Added parallax_origin attribute. This is an OrderedPair object which is derived from the parallaxoriginx and parallaxoriginy attributes in Tiled. This is used to define a map wide origin point that layers which have parallax scrolling will use.

Version 2.1.2

This version does not make any changes to the library. The project has moved to using Github Actions to publishing the distribution to PyPI. We have made this release to fully test the system and ensure it is functional for future releases.

Version 2.1.1

This version contains just one bug fix. Previously if a map or other object in the TMX format contained a Class property which was added in Tiled 1.8, then pytiled-parser would crash.

Classes are not a supported feature in pytiled-parser yet, however the existence of them isn't intended to break the rest of the supported featureset. This fix makes the rest of the map still be able to be successfully parsed and used if one of these exists in it.

See #60 for more info on this bug. Thanks to laqieer for this PR.

Version 2.1.0

This is largely a compatibility update to work with the latest version of Tiled. This version represents the first version of pytiled-parser that is compatible with the formats from Tiled 1.9. Previous versions do not work with maps or tilesets of either JSON or TMX formats from Tiled 1.9 or higher, if you need to use Tiled 1.9+ with an older version of Tiled, you will need to use Tiled's ability to save the map in compatibility mode.

This update does introduce a slight API breaking change, but is unlikely to really cause any problems. The type attribute has been removed from the TiledObject class as well as the Tile class. It has been replaced with the class_ attribute. This is in keeping with following Tiled's own API as closely as possible. There shouldn't really be any functional difference here, in most cases it has just been re-named. For more information on this change, you can reference the Tiled JSON format changelog.

It is important to note, that this update does not add support for new features introduced in Tiled 1.9(and in fact, we are still missing support for some features from 1.8). This update is primarily to ensure that maps using the base feature set we have had support for will continue to work with the same supported featureset on Tiled 1.9. Support for the new features is something we would like to achieve, but we did not want to hold back general compatibility for it.

Outside of that, all other changes are to the internal parsers and do not effect usage/implementation of pytiled-parser.
