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 | ||

73a9e0d3 | 24 | #### Version `0.4.1` (2013-09-): |
f61c14c1 | 25 | |
2cf8467c MM |
26 | Login and authentication procedure backend received major changes in this version. |
27 | There are no longer `username` and `password` variables in `Connection` object. | |
28 | Instead, credentials are stored (together with the token) in single variable `_login_data`. | |
29 | This is preserved until you call `login()` at which point credentials are erased and | |
30 | only token is left -- it can be obtained by calling `repr(Connection)`. | |
31 | ||
73a9e0d3 MM |
32 | Also, this release is compatible with DIASPORA\* 0.2.0.0 but should still support |
33 | pods running on older versions. | |
34 | ||
35 | And the test suite was updated. Yay! | |
36 | ||
37 | **`0.4.1-rc.1` (2013-09-02):** | |

f61c14c1 MM |

68 | #### Version `0.4.0` (2013-08-20): |
69 | ||
70 | This release is **not backwards compatible with `0.3.x` line**! You'll have to check your code for corrections. | |
71 | Also, this release if first to officially released fork version. | |
72 | ||

81 | ||
82 | Version `0.3.2` (2013-08-20): | |
1cff2093 MM |
83 | |
84 | * __upd__: `diaspy.connection.getUserData()` raises `DiaspyError` when it cannot find user data, | |
85 | ||
33735129 MM |
86 | * __rem__: `diaspy.client.Client` must be explicitly imported, |
87 | ||

88 | ---- |
89 | ||
90 | Version `0.3.1` (2013-07-12): | |
91 | ||
92 | * __upd__: `diaspy.people.sephandle()` raises `InvalidHandleError` instead of `UserError` | |
63f1d9f1 | 93 | * __upd__: `models.Post()._fetch()` renamed to `_fetchdata()` (because of new `_fetchcomments()` method) |
313fb305 MM |
94 | * __new__: `models.Comment()` object: wrapper for comments, not to be created manually |
95 | * __new__: `comments` parameter in `models.Post`: defines whether to fetch post's commets | |
615edb73 | 96 | * __new__: `connection.Connection` has new parameter in `__init__()`: it's `schema` |
313fb305 | 97 | * __new__: `author()` method in `models.Post()` |
615edb73 MM |
98 | |
99 | ||
100 | The new parameter in `connection.Connection` is useful when operating with handles. | |
101 | As handle does not contain schema (`http`, `https`, etc.) `_setlogin()` would raise an | |
102 | unhandled exception -- `requests.exceptions.MissingSchema`. | |
103 | Now, however, `Connection` will catch the exception, add missing schema and try once more. | |
104 | This parameter is provided to give programmers ability to manipulate it. | |
105 | ||
106 | Also, now you can pass just `pod.example.com` as `pod` parameter. Less typing! | |
107 | ||
313fb305 MM |
108 | When it comes to posts, we are now able to fetch comments. |

111 | ||
112 | Version `0.3.0` (2013-07-07): | |
113 | ||
cf0105fb MM |
114 | First edition of Changelog for `diaspy`. |
115 | Developers should update their code as version `0.3.0` may not be fully | |
116 | backwards compatible depending on how the code is written. | |
117 | If you always pass named arguments and do not rely on their order you can, at least in | |
118 | theory, not worry about this update. | |
119 | ||
120 | Version `0.3.0` introduces few new features, fixes several bugs and brings a bit of | |
121 | redesign and refactoring od `diaspy`'s code. | |
