nvchecker (short for new version checker) is for checking if a new version of some software has been released.

This is the version 2.0 branch. For the old version 1.x, please switch to the v1.x branch.

• Python 3.8+
• Python library: structlog, platformdirs, tomli (on Python < 3.11)
• One of these Python library combinations (ordered by preference):
  • tornado + pycurl
  • aiohttp
  • httpx with http2 support (experimental; only latest version is supported)
  • tornado
• All commands used in your software version configuration files

To install:

pip3 install nvchecker

To use the latest code, you can also clone this repository and run:

pip install .

To see available options:

nvchecker --help

Run with one or more software version files:

nvchecker -c config_file

You normally will like to specify some "version record files"; see below.
