• Added support for Python 3.14 (Issue #529, PR #530)
  • Changed CloudPath.copy to have the first parameter named target instead of destination and added new follow_symlinks and preserve_metadata kwargs. Breaking change for users that relied on the first parameter being named destination instead of target.
  • Added CloudPath.copy_into to copy a file or directory into another file or directory.
  • Added CloudPath.move to move a file or directory to another location.
  • Added CloudPath.move_into to move a file or directory into another file or directory.
  • Added CloudPathInfo and CloudPath.info to get information about a file or directory.
  • Added additional no-op kwargs to mkdir, touch, glob, rglob, stat to match pathlib.

• Fixed issue with GS credentials, using default auth enables a wider set of authentication methods in GS (Issue #390, PR #514, thanks @ljyanesm)
• Added support for http(s) urls with HttpClient, HttpPath, HttpsClient, and HttpsPath. (Issue #455, PR #468)
• Added experimental support for patching the builtins open, os, os.path, and glob to work with CloudPath objects. It is off by default; see the new "Compatibility" section in the docs for more information. (Issue #128, PR #322)
• Added support for CloudPath(*parts) to create a CloudPath object from a list of parts (to match pathlib.Path). This is a potentially breaking change for users that relied on the second arg being the client instead of making it an explicit kwarg. (PR #322)

• Fixed rmtree fail on Azure with no hns and more than 256 blobs to drop (Issue #509, PR #508, thanks @alikefia)

• Removed support for deprecated env var that had a typo (CLOUPATHLIB_FILE_CACHE_MODE; you should use CLOUDPATHLIB_FILE_CACHE_MODE).
• Added support for timeout and retry kwargs for GSClient. (Issue #484, PR #485, thanks @Mchristos)
• Fixed CloudPath(...) / other to correctly attempt to fall back on other's __rtruediv__ implementation, in order to support classes that explicitly support the / with a CloudPath instance. Previously, this would always raise a TypeError if other were not a str or PurePosixPath. (PR #479)
• Added md5 property to GSPath, updated LocalGSPath to include md5 property, updated mock_gs.MockBlob to include md5_hash property. (Issue #482, PR #483)
• Fixed an uncaught exception on Azure Gen2 storage accounts with HNS enabled when used with DefaultAzureCredential. (Issue #486, PR #487)
• Removed support for Python 3.8, which was EOL in October 2024. (PR #502)

• Added support for custom schemes in CloudPath and Client subclases. (Issue #466, PR #467)
• Fixed ResourceNotFoundError on Azure gen2 storage accounts with HNS enabled and issue that some Azure credentials do not have account_name. (Issue #470, Issue #476, PR #478)
• Added support for Python 3.13 (Issue #472, PR #474):
  • .full_match added
  • .from_uri added
  • follow_symlinks kwarg added to is_file added as no-op
  • follow_symlinks kwarg added to is_dir added as no-op
  • newline kwarg added to read_text
  • recurse_symlinks kwarg added to glob added as no-op
  • pattern parameter for glob can be PathLike
  • recurse_symlinks kwarg added to rglob added as no-op
  • pattern parameter for rglob can be PathLike
  • .parser property added

• Fixed an error that occurred when loading and dumping CloudPath objects using pickle multiple times. (Issue #450, PR #454, thanks to @kujenga)
• Fixed typo in FileCacheMode where values were being filled by environment variable CLOUPATHLIB_FILE_CACHE_MODE instead of CLOUDPATHLIB_FILE_CACHE_MODE. (PR #424, thanks to @mynameisfiber)
• Fixed CloudPath cleanup via CloudPath.__del__ when Client encounters an exception during initialization and does not create a file_cache_mode attribute. (Issue #372, thanks to @bryanwweber)
• Removed support for Python 3.7 and pinned minimal boto3 version to Python 3.8+ versions. (PR #407)
• Changed GSClient to use the native exists() method from the Google Cloud Storage SDK. (PR #420, thanks to @bachya)
• Changed default clients to be lazily instantiated (Issue #428, PR #432)
• Fixed download_to to check for the existence of the cloud file (Issue #430, PR #433)
• Added env vars CLOUDPATHLIB_FORCE_OVERWRITE_FROM_CLOUD and CLOUDPATHLIB_FORCE_OVERWRITE_TO_CLOUD. (Issue #393, PR #437)
• Fixed glob for cloudpathlib.local.LocalPath and subclass implementations to match behavior of cloud versions for parity in testing. (Issue #415, PR #436)
• Changed how cloudpathlib.local.LocalClient and subclass implementations track the default local storage directory (used to simulate the cloud) used when no local storage directory is explicitly provided. (PR #436, PR #462)
  • Changed LocalClient so that client instances using the default storage access the default local storage directory through the get_default_storage_dir rather than having an explicit reference to the path set at instantiation. This means that calling get_default_storage_dir will reset the local storage for all clients using the default local storage, whether the client has already been instantiated or is instantiated after resetting. This fixes unintuitive behavior where reset_local_storage did not reset local storage when using the default client. (Issue #414)
  • Added a new local_storage_dir property to LocalClient. This will return the current local storage directory used by that client instance.
    by reference through the `get_default_ rather than with an explicit.
• Refined the return type annotations for CloudPath.open() to match the behavior of pathlib.Path.open(). The method now returns specific types (TextIOWrapper, FileIO, BufferedRandom, BufferedWriter, BufferedReader, BinaryIO, IO[Any]) based on the provided mode, buffering, and encoding arguments. (Issue #465, PR #464)
• Added Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 support (Issue #161, PR #450), thanks to @M0dEx for PR #447 and PR #449

• Fixed import error due to incompatible google-cloud-storage by not using transfer_manager if it is not available. (Issue #408, PR #410)

Includes all changes from v0.18.0.

Note: This is the last planned Python 3.7 compatible release version.

• Implement sliced downloads in GSClient. (Issue #387, PR #389)
• Implement as_url with presigned parameter for all backends. (Issue #235, PR #236)
• Stream to and from Azure Blob Storage. (PR #403)
• Implement file: URI scheme support for AnyPath. (Issue #401, PR #404)

Note: This version was yanked due to incompatibility with google-cloud-storage <2.7.0 that causes an import error.

• Fix S3Client cleanup via Client.__del__ when S3Client encounters an exception during initialization. (Issue #372, PR #373, thanks to @bryanwweber)
• Skip mtime checks during upload when force_overwrite_to_cloud is set to improve upload performance. (Issue #379, PR #380, thanks to @Gilthans)

• Add "CloudPath" as return type on __init__ for mypy issues. (Issue #179, PR #342)
• Add with_stem to all path types when python version supports it (>=3.9). (Issue #287, PR #290, thanks to @Gilthans)
• Add newline parameter to the write_text method to align to pathlib functionality as of Python 3.10. PR #362, thanks to @pricemg.
• Add support for Python 3.12 (PR #364)
• Add CLOUDPATHLIB_LOCAL_CACHE_DIR env var for setting local_cache_dir default for clients (Issue #352, PR #357)
