5.5.0

5.5.0 September 3, 2020

• Fixed #1398: isort: off comment doesn't work, if it's the top comment in the file.
• Fixed #1395: reverse_relative setting doesn't have any effect when combined with force_sort_within_sections.
• Fixed #1399: --skip can error in the case of projects that contain recursive symlinks.
• Fixed #1389: ensure_newline_before_comments doesn't work if comment is at top of section and sections don't have lines between them.
• Fixed #1396: comments in imports with ";" can keep isort from recognizing import line.
• Fixed #1380: As imports removed when combine_star is set.
• Fixed #1382: --float-to-top has no effect if no import is already at the top.
• Fixed #1420: isort never settles on module docstring + add import.
• Fixed #1421: Error raised when repo contains circular symlinks.
• Fixed #1427: noqa comment is moved from star import to constant import.
• Fixed #1444 & 1445: Incorrect placement of import additions.
• Fixed #1447: isort5 throws error when stdin used on Windows with deprecated args.

• Implemented #1405: Added support for coloring diff output.

Goal Zero (Tickets related to aspirational goal of achieving 0 regressions for remaining 5.0.0 lifespan):

• Implemented #1392: Extensive profile testing.
• Implemented #1393: Proprety based testing applied to code snippets.
• Implemented #1391: Create automated integration test that includes full code base of largest OpenSource isort users.

Potentially breaking changes:
