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 | ||

f9ffc79f | 30 | #### Version `0.4.2` (2013-12-19): |
f8752360 MM |
31 | |
32 | This version has some small incompatibilities with `0.4.1` so read Changelog carefully. | |
415337b6 MM |
33 | |
34 | * __new__: `diaspy.people.User._fetchstream()` method, | |
f8752360 | 35 | * __new__: `diaspy.people.Me()` object representing current user, |
6c692631 | 36 | * __new__: `**kwargs` added to `diaspy.streams.Generic.json()` methdo to give developers control over the creation of JSON, |
39af9756 | 37 | * __new__: `.getHCard()` method added to `diaspy.people.User()`, |
f8752360 | 38 | |
415337b6 | 39 | |
f3b7fd44 MM |
40 | * __upd__: `diaspy.connection.Connection.login()` modifies connection object in-place **and** returns it (this allows more fluent API), |
41 | * __upd__: `diaspy.connection.Connection.login()` no longer returns status code (if login was unsuccessful it'll raise an exception), | |
42 | * __upd__: `diaspy.connection.Connection._login()` no longer returns status code (if login was unsuccessful it'll raise an exception), | |
6c692631 MM |
43 | * __upd__: better error message in `diaspy.models.Post().__init__()`, |
44 | * __upd__: `data` variable in `diaspy.models.Post()` renamed to `_data` to indicate that it's considered private, | |
39af9756 MM |
45 | * __upd__: after deleting a post `Activity` stream is purged instead of being refilled (this preserves state of stream which is not reset to last 15 posts), |
46 | * __upd__: `filterByIDs()` method in `Aspects` stream renamed to `filter()`, | |
f3b7fd44 | 47 | |
415337b6 | 48 | |
39af9756 MM |
49 | * __rem__: `diaspy.connection.Connection.getUserInfo()` moved to `diaspy.connection.Connection.getUserData()`, |
50 | * __rem__: `fetch` parameter removed from `diaspy.connection.Connection.getUserData()`, | |
6c692631 MM |

59 | ||
dc64fad2 | 60 | #### Version `0.4.1` (2013-09-12): |
f61c14c1 | 61 | |
2cf8467c MM |
62 | Login and authentication procedure backend received major changes in this version. |
63 | There are no longer `username` and `password` variables in `Connection` object. | |
64 | Instead, credentials are stored (together with the token) in single variable `_login_data`. | |
65 | This is preserved until you call `login()` at which point credentials are erased and | |
66 | only token is left -- it can be obtained by calling `repr(Connection)`. | |
67 | ||
73a9e0d3 MM |
68 | Also, this release is compatible with DIASPORA\* 0.2.0.0 but should still support |
69 | pods running on older versions. | |
70 | ||
71 | And the test suite was updated. Yay! | |
72 | ||

dc64fad2 MM |
79 | * __upd__: improved language fetching in `diaspy.settings.Account.getLanguages()`. |
80 | ||
81 | ||
82 | * __rem__: `diaspy/client.py` is removed, | |

4882952f MM |
155 | #### Version `0.4.0` (2013-08-20): |
156 | ||
157 | This release is **not backwards compatible with `0.3.x` line**! You'll have to check your code for corrections. | |
158 | Also, this release if first to officially released fork version. | |
159 | ||
160 | * __dep__: `diaspy.client` is officially deprecated (will be removed in `0.4.1`), | |
161 | ||
3def6e18 | 162 | |
4882952f MM |
163 | * __upd__: `diaspy.conversations` renamed to `diaspy.messages`, |
164 | * __udp__: `diaspy.conversations.Conversation` moved to `diaspy.models`, | |
165 | ||
3def6e18 | 166 | |
4882952f MM |
167 | * __new__: `diaspy.messages.Mailbox()` object representing diaspora\* mailbox, |
168 | ||
169 | ---- | |
170 | ||
3def6e18 | 171 | #### Version `0.3.2` (2013-08-20): |
1cff2093 MM |
172 | |
173 | * __upd__: `diaspy.connection.getUserData()` raises `DiaspyError` when it cannot find user data, | |
174 | ||
3def6e18 | 175 | |
33735129 MM |
176 | * __rem__: `diaspy.client.Client` must be explicitly imported, |
177 | ||
615edb73 MM |
178 | ---- |
179 | ||
3def6e18 | 180 | #### Version `0.3.1` (2013-07-12): |
615edb73 MM |
181 | |
182 | * __upd__: `diaspy.people.sephandle()` raises `InvalidHandleError` instead of `UserError` | |
63f1d9f1 | 183 | * __upd__: `models.Post()._fetch()` renamed to `_fetchdata()` (because of new `_fetchcomments()` method) |
3def6e18 MM |
184 | |
185 | ||
313fb305 MM |
186 | * __new__: `models.Comment()` object: wrapper for comments, not to be created manually |
187 | * __new__: `comments` parameter in `models.Post`: defines whether to fetch post's commets | |
615edb73 | 188 | * __new__: `connection.Connection` has new parameter in `__init__()`: it's `schema` |
313fb305 | 189 | * __new__: `author()` method in `models.Post()` |
615edb73 MM |
190 | |
191 | ||
192 | The new parameter in `connection.Connection` is useful when operating with handles. | |
193 | As handle does not contain schema (`http`, `https`, etc.) `_setlogin()` would raise an | |
194 | unhandled exception -- `requests.exceptions.MissingSchema`. | |
195 | Now, however, `Connection` will catch the exception, add missing schema and try once more. | |
196 | This parameter is provided to give programmers ability to manipulate it. | |
197 | ||
198 | Also, now you can pass just `pod.example.com` as `pod` parameter. Less typing! | |
199 | ||
313fb305 MM |
200 | When it comes to posts, we are now able to fetch comments. |
201 | ||

3def6e18 | 204 | #### Version `0.3.0` (2013-07-07): |
6d8d47ce | 205 | |
cf0105fb MM |
206 | First edition of Changelog for `diaspy`. |
207 | Developers should update their code as version `0.3.0` may not be fully | |
208 | backwards compatible depending on how the code is written. | |
209 | If you always pass named arguments and do not rely on their order you can, at least in | |
210 | theory, not worry about this update. | |
211 | ||
212 | Version `0.3.0` introduces few new features, fixes several bugs and brings a bit of | |
213 | redesign and refactoring od `diaspy`'s code. | |
