1.3.0 (2022-10-11)

Added

• (flags) Added a new absl.flags.set_default function that updates the flag default for a provided FlagHolder. This parallels the absl.flags.FlagValues.set_default interface which takes a flag name.

  • flags.register_validator
  • flags.validator
  • flags.register_multi_flags_validator
  • flags.multi_flags_validator
  • flags.mark_flag_as_required
  • flags.mark_flags_as_required
  • flags.mark_flags_as_mutual_exclusive
  • flags.mark_bool_flags_as_mutual_exclusive

Changed

• (testing) Assertions assertRaisesWithPredicateMatch and assertRaisesWithLiteralMatch now capture the raised Exception for further analysis when used as a context manager.
• (testing) TextAndXMLTestRunner now produces time duration values with millisecond precision in XML test result output.
