I am pleased to announce the availability of beta release 0.7.0 of the "plum-py" package. This pure Python package provides classes and utility functions to transform byte sequences into Python objects and back. While similar in purpose to Python's standard library ``struct`` module, this package provides a larger set of format specifiers and is extensible, allowing you to easily create complex ones of your own.

Add ``fieldorder`` metaclass keyword argument to support old behavior (e.g. specify ``fieldorder="least_to_most"``). - Change ``bitfield()`` and ``bitfield_member()`` to always default to ``int`` for ``typ`` (previously it defaulted to the type annotation if present, otherwise to ``int``; this change is in preparation for supporting Python 3.10) - Backwards Compatible - Add ``SizedX`` transform properties (e.g. ``fmt``, ``size_fmt``, etc.) - Fix ``BitFields`` to allow `nbytes` to allow any size (previously it had to be a power of two).
