Full Changelog: https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk/compare/v1.7.0...v1.7.1

What's Changed

• mouse_position, get_mouse_position, pixel_search, and image_search now return a Coordinates named tuple (typing.NamedTuple) type instead of just a plain tuple[int, int].
• Refactored types shared between sync and async into a common, internal, _types module.
• The Position type is now created using typing.NamedTuple rather than collections.namedtuple.
• Exposes more types directly via __init__.py so they can be imported without reaching into internal modules.

If you were previously importing types from internal modules and are type-checking with mypy in --strict mode, you may have to adjust your import statements when upgrading to this version or later to ensure mypy checks pass.

What's Changed

• Add AHK process handling to exit if parent Python process dies unexpectedly by @spyoungtech in https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk/pull/258 -- resolves #257

This release includes a behavior improvement in scenarios where your Python process ends suddenly without the opportunity to run its registered cleanup handlers. Previously, in such cases, AutoHotkey processes created by Python would get orphaned and continue running (when using AHK v1) or produce an unusual error (when using AHK v2). Now, the AutoHotkey processes will be able to infer whether the parent Python process is still alive and will exit gracefully if the parent process has exited.
