4285c996 | 1 | ## Changelog for `diaspy`, unofficial DIASPORA\* interface for Python |
6d8d47ce MM |
2 | |
3 | This changelog file follows few rules: | |
4 | ||
5 | * __rem__: indicates removed features, | |
6 | * __new__: indicates new features, | |
7 | * __upd__: indicates updated features, | |
8 | * __dep__: indicates deprecated features, | |
9 | ||
10 | Deprecation means that in the next version feature will be removed. | |
11 | ||
12 | Also, after every version there should be a brief note describing possible | |
13 | problems with migrating to it from older versions and usage of new features. | |
14 | ||
15 | Users can always read the manual and dcumentation to make themselves more knowledgeable and | |
16 | are encouraged to do so. They only need to remember that documentation is usually more | |
17 | up-to-date than manual and if conflicts appear they should follow the order: | |
18 | ||
19 | *docstrings* -> *docs/* -> *manual/* | |
20 | ||

23 | #### Known issues | |
24 | ||
25 | * __bug__: `diaspy` has problems/can't connect to pods using SNI (this is an issue with requests/urllib3/python), | |
26 | ||

28 | ---- |
29 | ||
73a9e0d3 | 30 | #### Version `0.4.1` (2013-09-): |
f61c14c1 | 31 | |
2cf8467c MM |
32 | Login and authentication procedure backend received major changes in this version. |
33 | There are no longer `username` and `password` variables in `Connection` object. | |
34 | Instead, credentials are stored (together with the token) in single variable `_login_data`. | |
35 | This is preserved until you call `login()` at which point credentials are erased and | |
36 | only token is left -- it can be obtained by calling `repr(Connection)`. | |
37 | ||
73a9e0d3 MM |
38 | Also, this release is compatible with DIASPORA\* 0.2.0.0 but should still support |
39 | pods running on older versions. | |
40 | ||
41 | And the test suite was updated. Yay! | |

120 | ---- |
121 | ||
4882952f MM |
122 | #### Version `0.4.0` (2013-08-20): |
123 | ||
124 | This release is **not backwards compatible with `0.3.x` line**! You'll have to check your code for corrections. | |
125 | Also, this release if first to officially released fork version. | |
126 | ||
127 | * __dep__: `diaspy.client` is officially deprecated (will be removed in `0.4.1`), | |
128 | ||
3def6e18 | 129 | |
4882952f MM |
130 | * __upd__: `diaspy.conversations` renamed to `diaspy.messages`, |
131 | * __udp__: `diaspy.conversations.Conversation` moved to `diaspy.models`, | |
132 | ||
3def6e18 | 133 | |
4882952f MM |
134 | * __new__: `diaspy.messages.Mailbox()` object representing diaspora\* mailbox, |
135 | ||
136 | ---- | |
137 | ||
3def6e18 | 138 | #### Version `0.3.2` (2013-08-20): |
1cff2093 MM |
139 | |
140 | * __upd__: `diaspy.connection.getUserData()` raises `DiaspyError` when it cannot find user data, | |
141 | ||
3def6e18 | 142 | |
33735129 MM |
143 | * __rem__: `diaspy.client.Client` must be explicitly imported, |
144 | ||
615edb73 MM |
145 | ---- |
146 | ||
3def6e18 | 147 | #### Version `0.3.1` (2013-07-12): |
615edb73 MM |
148 | |
149 | * __upd__: `diaspy.people.sephandle()` raises `InvalidHandleError` instead of `UserError` | |
63f1d9f1 | 150 | * __upd__: `models.Post()._fetch()` renamed to `_fetchdata()` (because of new `_fetchcomments()` method) |
3def6e18 MM |
151 | |
152 | ||
313fb305 MM |
153 | * __new__: `models.Comment()` object: wrapper for comments, not to be created manually |
154 | * __new__: `comments` parameter in `models.Post`: defines whether to fetch post's commets | |
615edb73 | 155 | * __new__: `connection.Connection` has new parameter in `__init__()`: it's `schema` |
313fb305 | 156 | * __new__: `author()` method in `models.Post()` |
615edb73 MM |
157 | |
158 | ||
159 | The new parameter in `connection.Connection` is useful when operating with handles. | |
160 | As handle does not contain schema (`http`, `https`, etc.) `_setlogin()` would raise an | |
161 | unhandled exception -- `requests.exceptions.MissingSchema`. | |
162 | Now, however, `Connection` will catch the exception, add missing schema and try once more. | |
163 | This parameter is provided to give programmers ability to manipulate it. | |
164 | ||
165 | Also, now you can pass just `pod.example.com` as `pod` parameter. Less typing! | |
166 | ||
313fb305 MM |
167 | When it comes to posts, we are now able to fetch comments. |

3def6e18 | 171 | #### Version `0.3.0` (2013-07-07): |
6d8d47ce | 172 | |
cf0105fb MM |
173 | First edition of Changelog for `diaspy`. |
174 | Developers should update their code as version `0.3.0` may not be fully | |
175 | backwards compatible depending on how the code is written. | |
176 | If you always pass named arguments and do not rely on their order you can, at least in | |
177 | theory, not worry about this update. | |
178 | ||
179 | Version `0.3.0` introduces few new features, fixes several bugs and brings a bit of | |
180 | redesign and refactoring od `diaspy`'s code. | |
