5.5.1

Patch Notes for 5.5.1

Contains packaging and CI updates, dependency/dev-dependency security updates, small code/style fixes (typos, formatting), and preparation for PEP-compliant metadata and sdist behaviour.

Notable user-visible changes

• Version bump: version set to 5.5.1 (piplicenses.py).
• Typos fixed: README examples and internal docstrings (codespell fix).
• Formatting: Applied black 26.1.0 changes across the codebase.
• CI/CD:
  • Upgraded GitHub Actions runners/actions versions used in workflows:
    • actions/checkout → v6.0.1
    • actions/setup-python → v6.1.0
    • actions/upload-artifact → v6.0.0
    • actions/download-artifact → v7.0.0
    • codecov/codecov-action → v5.5.2
  • Workaround to bypass black lint step for Python 3.9 (black GHA failures with v3.9).
• Packaging & metadata:
  • pyproject.toml: made PEP-compliant changes:
    • build-system requires reviewed
      • project URLs normalized to "homepage", "releasenotes", "issues" (PEP-753 well-known labels)
      • MANIFEST.in updated to use a prune/exclude strategy suitable for setuptools-scm (avoid duplicative explicit include lists).
    • project.license and license-files fields normalized (PEP-639)
    • requires-python remains >=3.9 (note: CI deprecates 3.9 for black)

Developer dependencies updated (security/maintenance):

• urllib3 bumped 2.5.0 → 2.6.3
• wheel bumped 0.45.1 → 0.46.2

Small code cleanups:

• minor whitespace/annotation/style alignment and improved tuple assignment readability in piplicenses.py
• some filename/text extraction behavior unchanged but formatting and docstrings clarified.
