Python-Dotenv Files

Added

• Support for Python 3.14, including the free-threaded (3.14t) build. (#)

Changed

• The dotenv run command now forwards flags directly to the specified command by @bbc2 in https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv/pull/607
• Improved documentation clarity regarding override behavior and the reference page.
• Updated PyPy support to version 3.11.
• Documentation for FIFO file support.
• Support for Python 3.9.

Fixed

• Improved set_key and unset_key behavior when interacting with symlinks by @bbc2 in #790c5
• Corrected the license specifier and added missing Python 3.14 classifiers in package metadata by @JYOuyang in https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv/pull/590

Breaking Changes

• dotenv.set_key and dotenv.unset_key used to follow symlinks in some situations. This is no longer the case. For that behavior to be restored in all cases, follow_symlinks=True should be used.

• In the CLI, set and unset used to follow symlinks in some situations. This is no longer the case.

• dotenv.set_key, dotenv.unset_key and the CLI commands set and unset used to reset the file mode of the modified .env file to 0o600 in some situations. This is no longer the case: The original mode of the file is now preserved. Is the file needed to be created or wasn't a regular file, mode 0o600 is used.
