November 4-10, 2024 in Darker: Testing infrastructure and encoding edge cases

[github-actions[bot]]

This week focused on improving our testing infrastructure. The work on using module-scoped Git repository fixtures from Darkgraylib (PR #761) made substantial progress, with over 20 test modules being updated. These changes aim to speed up parameterized tests by reusing repository instances across test cases, and include new helper fixtures like unix_and_windows_newline_repos and cloned_tree.

The discussion about documentation structure continued, leading to the closure of the more complex Sphinx setup (PR #764) in favor of a simpler approach (PR #766). The Dependabot integration (PR #763) sparked a conversation about our package structure, particularly regarding the continued need for setup.py and setup.cfg due to PyPI's HTML rendering limitations for the README contributor table.
