- VIN.str now returns the Vehicle Identification Number, not the description of the vehicle
Vehicle data updated to NHTSA vPIC 3.45 effective March 16, 2024.
- No longer throws sqlite3.ProgrammingError when used in multithreaded context (#6, DaThresh)
- Decodes VINs that have an incorrect or zero model year character (partially resolves #2, sshane).
- More unit tests
- VIN.vpic_version returns NHTSA vPIC data version and release date (#4).
- Uses WMI to find vehicle make when VIN is incomplete or incorrect.
- Series and trim decoding is more reliable
- Most properties that are missing after decoding now return empty string instead of raising a DecodingRequiredError (#3, sshane).
- VIN.body_style is now VIN.body_class to be consistent with vPIC naming (sshane).
- Corrected several examples in the documentation.
- Models with trims that vary only by capitalization now return the correct trim name (LAREDO versus Laredo).
- Decodes body style and electrification level
- Fixed vehicle_type names in the documentation
- Decode the make, model, series, and trim
- Supports passenger cars, multipurpose vehicles, and light trucks manufactured since 1980
