I just released uv-secure 0.15.0 to PyPi which now will check whether your version of uv itself has known vulnerabilities in addition to scanning your lock files. This check can be disabled by CLI flag or configuration if you don't use uv-secure with uv. #Python

One more bug fix release for uv-secure, now at 0.14.4 on PyPi. Apologies to everyone for the error and lockup issues its had over the last week, had some teething issues with the new version of hishel but big thanks to github.com/karpetrosyan for addressing that so quickly. #python

Made a couple of quick fire releases of uv-secure to PyPi:
- 0.14.2 to fix a breaking change with dependency hishel.
- 0.14.3 to declare #Python 3.14 support.
Regarding the hishel update the cache format has changed so please clear out your ~/.cache/uv-secure directory before upgrading.

I released uv-secure 0.14.1 to PyPi. This release add a --format json option for json output (in addition to the previous/default --format columns). It also make skipped non-PyPi dependencies more explicit. #Python

PyCharm can visualise missing test branch coverage but the VS Code Python extension only visualises line coverage, not branch coverage. I raised this issue with the VS Code #Python extension team a while back, but it needs 👍 upvotes to persist (if you want this too).

Hi @mkennedy.codes / @brianokken.bsky.social - here's another dev tool you might want to talk about on @pythonbytes.fm : prek github.com/j178/prek which is pre-commit reimplemented in #rust I haven't tried it yet but am keen too, being a heavy pre-commit user myself.

I released uv-secure 0.12.2 to PyPi. This is a small release to enable uv-secure to run on requirements.txt files not generated by uv (requirements.txt still need to be fully pinned and only contain PyPi dependencies). Please let me know if breaks for any of your use cases. #Python
