Qiskit Transpiler Service client release notes

0.10.3 (2025-03-04)

Upgrade notes

  • Support qiskit 1.4.0 (fixed) (162)

New features

  • Added a __version__ attribute to qiskit_ibm_transpiler to enable version retrieval.

    What changed? - Introduced qiskit_ibm_transpiler/version.py for dynamically retrieving the package version. - Exposed __version__ in __init__.py, allowing users to access the installed package version. - If the package is installed normally, it will return the version as defined in importlib.metadata.version(). - If the package is being used from a Git repository without a release tag, it appends the commit hash.

    How to use the new feature? Users can now check the installed version by running:

    import qiskit_ibm_transpiler
print(qiskit_ibm_transpiler.__version__)

    Example outputs: - Installed via pip install qiskit-ibm-transpiler: 0.10.1 - Running from Git with a release tag: 0.10.1 - Running from Git without a release tag: 0.10.1.dev0+a1b2c3d
