pre-commit has been added to the GitHub Actions workflow in this repository. pre-commit allows you to run multiple checks, such as black and checking the REUSE licensing compliance, both locally and on GitHub Actions with one command.

You can run pre-commit locally with pre-commit run --all-files

PixelBuf = Faster NeoPixels

This release reworks NeoPixel to use PixelBuf for the internal pixel buffer. On Blinka and CircuitPython < 5 it now requires the pypixelbuf (2.0.0+) library to run. It implements the same API as _pixelbuf in CircuitPython 5.x. NeoPixels manipulation should be faster when using the native implementation.

So, if you are still using CircuitPython < 5, then either 1) upgrade to CircuitPython 5.x, 2)use NeoPixel < 6, or 3) install pypixelbuf.

If you are Blinka, please make sure you have adafruit-circuitpython-pypixelbuf >= 2.0.0 installed as well.

We have upgraded Pylint checks to use the latest version of Pylint and implemented usage of Black Python formatting. This does not change the functionality of the code - it is designed to bring it up to current standards and make it more readable.

  • Remove pinned Pylint version number from build.yml file
  • Synced .pylintrc file to match Adafruit standard
  • Ran upgraded Pylint and applied any changes or new disables necessary
  • Ran Black formatter and allowed application of changes across entire repo

For more information on using Pylint and Black on your code, check out this guide on working with Pylint and Black

This release reverts the use of PixelBuf. It will be reintroduced once CircuitPython 5.0.0 is stable. This released is versioned as 5.0.0 because it removes an external dependency (adafruit-circuitpython-pypixelbuf) and we'll do a major release again when PixelBuf is reintroduced.
