• Migrated README from RST to Markdown format with executable code examples
• Dropped support for Python 3.4-3.8 (now requires Python 3.9+)
• Replaced python -m doctest README.rst with pytest-markdown-docs for testing examples
• Converted tests from unittest to pytest style (native assert statements, fixtures)
• Restructured package from single file (urlpath.py) to proper package directory (urlpath/__init__.py)
• Converted README examples from RST doctest format to executable Python code blocks
• Reorganized test directory from test/ to tests/ (following pytest conventions)
• Enhanced pytest configuration with strict mode and warning filters

• Comprehensive Makefile with development targets (test, lint, format, build, clean, etc.)
• Ruff for both linting and code formatting
• mypy for static type checking with relaxed configuration
• pytest as the test runner (replacing unittest CLI)
• pytest-markdown-docs for testing README code examples
• conftest.py for pytest sys.path configuration
• GitHub Actions workflow for automated releases to PyPI (release.yml)
• Separate CI jobs for linting/formatting/type checking vs. tests
• Pre-commit hooks configuration (.pre-commit-config.yaml)
• Keywords in pyproject.toml for better PyPI discoverability
• Downloads badge in README.md
• MIT LICENSE file
• CHANGELOG.md file (this file)
• .github/copilot-instructions.md for AI-assisted development
• uv.lock for reproducible dependency resolution

Removed

• setup.py (replaced by pyproject.toml)
• MANIFEST file (replaced by hatchling configuration)
• README.rst (replaced by README.md)
• deploy.yml workflow (replaced by release.yml)
