Release history and notes¶
Sequence based identifiers are used for versioning (schema follows below):
major.minor[.revision]
It’s always safe to upgrade within the same minor version (for example, from 0.3 to 0.3.4).
Minor version changes might be backwards incompatible. Read the release notes carefully before upgrading (for example, when upgrading from 0.3.4 to 0.4).
All backwards incompatible changes are mentioned in this document.
0.12.5¶
2021-01-11
Note
Release dedicated to defenders of Armenia and Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) and all the victims of Turkish and Azerbaijani aggression.
Fixed lower-cased parsed_url attributes (SplitResult) when getting tld as object (as_object=True).
0.12.3¶
2020-11-26
Separate parsers for (a) public and private and (b) public only domains. This fixes a bug. If you want an old behaviour:
The following code would raise exception in past.
from tld import get_tld get_tld( 'http://silly.cc.ua', search_private=False )
Now it would return ua.
get_tld( 'http://silly.cc.ua', search_private=False )
If you want old behavior, do as follows:
from tld.utils import MozillaTLDSourceParser get_tld( 'http://silly.cc.ua', search_private=False, parser_class=MozillaTLDSourceParser )
Same goes for
get_fld,process_url,parse_tldandis_tldfunctions.
0.12.1¶
2020-04-25
Note
In commemoration of Armenian Genocide.
Correctly handling domain names ending with dot(s).
0.11.7¶
2019-12-13

0.11¶
2019-12-09
Note
Since introduction of parser classes, usage of
NAMES_SOURCE_URL and NAMES_LOCAL_PATH of the tld.conf
module is deprecated. Also, tld_names_local_path
and tld_names_source_url arguments are deprecated as well.
If you want to customise things, implement your own parser (inherit from
BaseTLDSourceParser).
Drop support for Python versions prior to 3.6.
Clean-up dependencies.
Introduce parsers.
Drop
tld_names_source_urlandtld_names_local_pathintroduced in the previous release.Minor speed-ups (including tests).
0.10¶
2019-11-27
Note
This is the last release to support Python 2.
Make it possible to provide a custom path to the TLD names file.
Make it possible to free up some resources occupied due to loading custom tld names by calling the
reset_tld_namesfunction withtld_names_local_pathparameter.
0.9.7¶
2019-10-30
Note
This release is dedicated to my newborn daughter. Happy birthday, my dear Ani.
Handling urls that are only a TLD.
Accepts already splitted URLs.
Tested against Python 3.8.
0.9.6¶
2019-09-12
Fix for update-tld-names returns a non-zero exit code on success (introduced with optimisations in 0.9.4).
Minor tests improvements.

Optimisations in setup.py, tests and console scripts.
Skip testing the update-tld-names functionality if no internet is available.

Tested against Python 3.7.
Added tests for commands.
Dropped Python 2.6 support.

0.9¶
2018-06-14
Note
This release contains backward incompatible changes. You should update your code.
The active_only option has been removed from get_tld, get_fld
and parse_url functions. Update your code accordingly.
Removed
active_onlyoption fromget_tld,get_fldandparse_urlfunctions.Correctly handling exceptions (!) in the original TLD list.
Fixes in documentation.
Added
parse_tldfunction.Fixes the
python setup.py testcommand.
0.8¶
2018-06-13
Note
This release contains backward incompatible changes. You should update your code.
Old get_tld functionality is moved to get_fld (first-level
domain definition). The as_object argument (False by default) has been
deprecated for get_fld.
res = get_tld("http://www.google.co.uk", as_object=True)
Old behaviour
In: res.domain
Out: 'google'
In: res.extension
Out: 'co.uk'
In: res.subdomain
Out: 'www'
In: res.suffix
Out: 'co.uk'
In: res.tld
Out: 'google.co.uk'
New behaviour
In: res.fld
Out: 'google.co.uk'
In: res.tld
Out: 'co.uk'
In: res.domain
Out: 'google'
In: res.subdomain
Out: 'www'
When used without as_object it returns co.uk.
Recap
If you have been happily using old version of get_tld function without
as_object argument set to True, you might want to replace get_tld
import with get_fld import:
# Old
from tld import get_tld
get_tld('http://google.co.uk')
# New
from tld import get_fld
get_fld('http://google.co.uk')
Move to a Trie to match TLDs. This brings a speed up of 15-20%.
It’s now possible to search in public, private or all suffixes (old behaviour). Use
search_publicandsearch_privatearguments accordingly. By default (to support old behavior), both are set to True.Correct TLD definitions.
Domains like *****.xn–fiqs8s are now recognized as well.
Due to usage of
urlsplitinstead ofurlparse, the initial list of TLDs is assembled quicker (a speed-up of 15-20%).Docs/ directory is included in source distribution tarball.
More tests.
