5.2.0

• IMPORTANT: Python 3.10 or greater is required. If you are using an older
  version, please use an earlier release.
• maxminddb has been upgraded to 3.0.0. This includes free-threading
  support.
• Setuptools has been replaced with the uv build backend for building the
  package.
• A new anonymizer object has been added to geoip2.models.Insights.
  This object is a geoip2.records.Anonymizer and contains the following
  fields: confidence, network_last_seen, provider_name,
  is_anonymous, is_anonymous_vpn, is_hosting_provider,
  is_public_proxy, is_residential_proxy, and is_tor_exit_node.
  These provide information about VPN and proxy usage.
• A new ip_risk_snapshot property has been added to
  geoip2.records.Traits. This is a float ranging from 0.01 to 99 that
  represents the risk associated with the IP address. A higher score indicates
  a higher risk. This field is only available from the Insights end point.
• The following properties on geoip2.records.Traits have been deprecated:
  is_anonymous, is_anonymous_vpn, is_hosting_provider,
  is_public_proxy, is_residential_proxy, and is_tor_exit_node.
  Please use the anonymizer object in the Insights model instead.

5.1.0

• Support for the GeoIP Anonymous Plus database has been added. To do a lookup
  in this database, use the anonymous_plus method on Reader.
• Reorganized module documentation to improve language-server support.

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.
