This major release renames xdg to xdg-base-dirs due to an import collision with PyXDG. If you used xdg prior to the rename, update by changing the dependency name from xdg to xdg-base-dirs and the import from xdg to xdg_base_dirs. Python 3.10 or later is required by xdg-base-dirs.

This patch release fixes an issue with relative paths. Prior to this release, xdg would use paths defined by the relevant environment variables even if they were relative paths, which is not permitted by the specification:

All paths set in these environment variables must be absolute. If an implementation encounters a relative path in any of these variables it should consider the path invalid and ignore it.

Now only absolute paths are accepted, and relative paths are ignored.

This major release refactors the API to provide functions rather than variables. This means xdg will now respect changes to environment variables made after it is imported. The previous variable based API is maintained for backward compatibility, but is no longer documented.

With this major release, paths are no longer returned as strings but as pathlib.Path objects, which are the new de facto standard for specifying file system paths in Python.

If your code expects strings rather than pathlib.Path objects, wrap the variable in a call to os.fspath, e.g.

import os
import xdg

config_home = os.fspath(xdg.XDG_CONFIG_HOME)
