Mypy recently introduced stricter checks for function signature compatibility (python/mypy#2521). Since itsdangerous is included in the typeshed library with typing stubs, it found an issue with the signatures of load_payload. Consider:

class Serializer:
  def load_payload(self, payload, serializer=None): ...

vs.

class JSONWebSignatureSerializer(Serializer):
  def load_payload(self, payload, return_header=False): ...

vs.

class URLSafeSerializerMixin(object):
  def load_payload(self, payload): ...

class URLSafeSerializer(URLSafeSerializerMixin, Serializer): ...
class TimedSerializer(Serializer): ...
class URLSafeTimedSerializer(URLSafeSerializerMixin, TimedSerializer): ...

Basically, it's invalid to replace load_payload() accepting an optional kwarg with an implementation that doesn't.

Starting with python/mypy#2521 mypy is performing stricter function signature
checks.

This makes the stubs diverge from the actual implementation but makes the stubs
internally consistent.  Since this is an actual typing issue in the base
implementation, we need to defer to the original authors to fix it.

PyCharm has complained about it for a while too. If you have a fix in mind, a patch would be great, otherwise I'll investigate.

Fixes pallets#74.

The `JSONWebSignatureSerializer.load_payload` signature change is potentially breaking if anybody passed `return_header` as a second non-keyword argument to the method in the past. `itsdangerous.py` itself is using kwargs correctly everywhere so this shouldn't be an issue.

For the mixin, the change ensures it will pass additional arguments correctly.

Version 1.1.0
-------------

Released 2018-10-26

-   Change default signing algorithm back to SHA-1. (`#113`_)
-   Added a default SHA-512 fallback for users who used the yanked 1.0.0
    release which defaulted to SHA-512. (`#114`_)
-   Add support for fallback algorithms during deserialization to
    support changing the default in the future without breaking existing
    signatures. (`#113`_)
-   Changed capitalization of packages back to lowercase as the change
    in capitalization broke some tooling. (`#113`_)

Version 1.0.0
-------------

Released 2018-10-18

YANKED

*Note*: This release was yanked from PyPI because it changed the default
algorithm to SHA-512. This decision was reverted in 1.1.0 and it remains
at SHA1.

-   Drop support for Python 2.6 and 3.3.
-   Refactor code from a single module to a package. Any object in the
    API docs is still importable from the top-level ``itsdangerous``
    name, but other imports will need to be changed. A future release
    will remove many of these compatibility imports. (`#107`_)
-   Optimize how timestamps are serialized and deserialized. (`#13`_)
-   ``base64_decode`` raises ``BadData`` when it is passed invalid data.
    (`#27`_)
-   Ensure value is bytes when signing to avoid a ``TypeError`` on
    Python 3. (`#29`_)
-   Add a ``serializer_kwargs`` argument to ``Serializer``, which is
    passed to ``dumps`` during ``dump_payload``. (`#36`_)
-   More compact JSON dumps for unicode strings. (`#38`_)
-   Use the full timestamp rather than an offset, allowing dates before
    2011. (`#46`_)
-   Detect a ``sep`` character that may show up in the signature itself
    and raise a ``ValueError``. (`#62`_)
-   Use a consistent signature for keyword arguments for
    ``Serializer.load_payload`` in subclasses. (`#74`_, `#75`_)
-   Change default intermediate hash from SHA-1 to SHA-512. (`#80`_)
-   Convert JWS exp header to an int when loading. (`#99`_)
