5.0.1

• Allow ip_address in the Traits record to be None again. The
  primary use case for this is from the minfraud package.

5.0.0

• BREAKING: The raw attribute on the model classes has been replaced
  with a to_dict() method. This can be used to get a representation of
  the object that is suitable for serialization.
• BREAKING: The ip_address property on the model classes now always returns
  a ipaddress.IPv4Address or ipaddress.IPv6Address.
• BREAKING: The model and record classes now require all arguments other than
  locales and ip_address to be keyword arguments.
• BREAKING: geoip2.mixins has been made internal. This normally would not
  have been used by external code.
• IMPORTANT: Python 3.9 or greater is required. If you are using an older
  version, please use an earlier release.
• metro_code on geoip2.record.Location has been deprecated. The
  code values are no longer being maintained.
• The type hinting for the optional locales keyword argument now allows
  any sequence of strings rather than only list of strings.

4.8.1

• setuptools was incorrectly listed as a runtime dependency. This has
  been removed. Pull request by Mathieu Dupuy. GitHub #174.

4.8.0

• IMPORTANT: Python 3.8 or greater is required. If you are using an older
  version, please use an earlier release.
• The is_anycast attribute was added to geoip2.record.Traits.
  This returns True if the IP address belongs to an
  anycast network <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast>_.
  This is available for the GeoIP2 Country, City Plus, and Insights web services
  and the GeoIP2 Country, City, and Enterprise databases.

4.7.0

• IMPORTANT: Python 3.7 or greater is required. If you are using an older
  version, please use an earlier release.

4.6.0

• The AddressNotFoundError class now has an ip_address attribute
  with the lookup address and network property for the empty network
  in the database containing the IP address. These are only available
  when using a database, not the web service. Pull request by illes.
  GitHub #130.

4.5.0

• Support for mobile country code (MCC) and mobile network codes (MNC) was
  added for the GeoIP2 ISP and Enterprise databases as well as the GeoIP2
  City and Insights web services. mobile_country_code and
  mobile_network_code attributes were added to geoip2.model.ISP
  for the GeoIP2 ISP database and geoip2.record.Traits for the
  Enterprise database and the GeoIP2 City and Insights web services.
  We expect this data to be available by late January, 2022.

4.4.0

• The public API on geoip2.database is now explicitly defined by
  setting __all__.
• The return type of the metadata() method on Reader is now
  maxminddb.reader.Metadata rather than a union type.

4.3.0

• Previously, the py.typed file was not being added to the source
  distribution. It is now explicitly specified in the manifest.
• The type hints for the database file in the Reader constructor have
  been expanded to match those specified by maxmindb.open_database. In
  particular, os.PathLike and IO have been added.
• Corrected the type hint for the metadata() method on Reader. It
  will return a maxminddb.extension.Metadata if the C extension is being
  used.

4.2.0

• You may now set a proxy to use when making web service requests by passing
  the proxy parameter to the AsyncClient or Client constructor.
