• New preview msrest.pipeline implementation:
  • A Pipeline is an ordered list of Policies than can process an HTTP request and response in a generic way.
  • More details in the wiki page about Pipeline: https://github.com/Azure/msrest-for-python/wiki/msrest-0.6.0---Pipeline
• Adding new attributes to Configuration instance:
  • http_logger_policy - Policy to handle HTTP logging
  • user_agent_policy - Policy to handle UserAgent
  • pipeline - The current pipeline used by the SDK client
  • async_pipeline - The current async pipeline used by the async SDK client
• Installing "msrest[async]" now installs the experimental async support. Works ONLY for Autorest.Python 4.0.63.

Breaking changes

• The HTTPDriver API introduced in 0.5.0 has been replaced by the Pipeline implementation.

Thanks to robgolding for the contribution

2018-09-04 Version 0.5.5

2018-06-21 Version 0.5.1

Bugfixes

• Fix 'object' type and XML format

Thanks to dharmab for the contribution

2018-06-12 Version 0.5.0

Disclaimer

This released is designed to be backward compatible with 0.4.x, but there is too many internal refactoring and new features to continue with 0.4.x versionning

Features

• Add XML support
• Add many type hints, and MyPY testing on CI.
• HTTP calls are made through a HTTPDriver API. Only implementation is requests for now. This driver API is not considered stable and you should pin your msrest version if you want to provide a personal implementation.

Bugfixes

• Incorrect milliseconds serialization for some datetime object #94

Deprecation

That will trigger a DeprecationWarning if an old Autorest generated code is used.

• _client.add_header is deprecated, and config.headers should be used instead
• _client.send_formdata is deprecated, and _client.put/get/delete/post + _client.send should be used instead

2018-04-30 Version 0.4.29

Bugfixes

• Improve SDKClient.__exit__ to take exc_details as optional parameters and not required #93
• refresh_session should also use the permanent HTTP session if available #91

2018-04-18 Version 0.4.28

Features

• msrest is now able to keep the "requests.Session" alive for performance. To activate this behavior:

  • Use the final Client as a context manager (requires generation with Autorest.Python 3.0.50 at least)
  • Use client.config.keep_alive = True and client.close() (requires generation with Autorest.Python 3.0.50 at least)
  • Use client.config.keep_alive = True and client._client.close() (not recommended, but available in old releases of SDK)

• All Authentication classes now define signed_session and refresh_session with an optional session parameter. To take benefits of the session improvement, a subclass of Authentication MUST add this optional parameter and use it if it's not None:

  def signed_session(self, session=None):

  session = session or requests.Session()

  # As usual from here.

2018-03-07 Version 0.4.27

Features

• Disable HTTP log by default (security), add enable_http_log to restore it #86

BugFixes

• Fix incorrect date parsing if ms precision is over 6 digits #82

2018-01-30 Version 0.4.26

Features

• Add TopicCredentials for EventGrid client

Bugfixes

• Fix minimal dependency of isodate
• Fix serialisation from dict if datetime provided

2018-01-08 Version 0.4.25

Features

• Add LROPoller class. This is a customizable LRO engine. This is the poller engine of Autorest.Python 3.0, and is not used by code generated by previous Autorest version.

2018-01-03 Version 0.4.24

Bugfixes

• Date parsing is now compliant with Autorest / Swagger 2.0 specification (less lenient)

Internal optimisation

• Call that does not return a streamable object are now executed in requests stream mode False (was True whatever the type of the call). This should reduce the number of leaked opened session and allow urllib3 to manage connection pooling more efficiently. Only clients generated with Autorest.Python >= 2.1.31 (not impacted otherwise, fully backward compatible)

2017-12-21 Version 0.4.23

Bugfixes

• Accept to deserialize enum of different type if content string match #75
• Stop failing on deserialization if enum string is unkwon. Return the string instead.

Features

• Model now accept kwargs in constructor for future kwargs models

2017-12-15 Version 0.4.22

Bugfixes

• Do not validate additional_properties #73
• Improve validation error if expected type is dict, but actual type is not #73

2017-12-14 Version 0.4.21

Bugfixes

• Fix additional_properties if Swagger was flatten #72

2017-12-13 Version 0.4.20

Features

• Add support for additional_properties
  • By default, all additional_properties are kept.
  • Additional properties are sent to the server only if it was specified in the Swagger, or if "enable_additional_properties_sending" is called on the model we want it. This is a class method that enables it for all instance of this model.

2017-11-20 Version 0.4.19

Features

• The interpretation of Swagger 2.0 "discriminator" is now lenient. This means for these two scenarios:

  • Discriminator value is missing from the received payload
  • Discriminator value is not defined in the Swagger

  Instead of failing with an exception, this now returns the base type for this "discriminator".

  Note that this is not a contradiction of the Swagger 2.0 spec, that specifies "validation SHOULD fail [...] there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course."

  This cannot be configured for now and is the new default behvaior, but can be in the future if needed.

Bugfixes

• Optional formdata parameters were raising an exception (#65)
• "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" form was sent using "multipart/form-data". This causes problems if the server does not support "multipart/form-data" (#66)

2017-10-26 Version 0.4.18

Features

• Add ApiKeyCredentials class. This can be used to support OpenAPI ApiKey feature.
• Add CognitiveServicesAuthentication class. Pre-declared ApiKeyCredentials class for Cognitive Services.

2017-10-12 Version 0.4.17

Features

This make Authentication classes more consistent:

• OAuthTokenAuthentication is now a subclass of BasicTokenAuthentication (was Authentication)
• BasicTokenAuthentication has now a "set_token" methods that does nothing.

This allows test like "isintance(o, BasicTokenAuthentication)" to be guaranted that the following attributes exists:

• token
• set_token()
• signed_session()

This means for users of "msrestazure", that they are guaranted that all AD classes somehow inherits from "BasicTokenAuthentication"

2017-10-05 Version 0.4.16

Bugfixes

• Fix regression: accept "set<str>" as a valid "[str]" (#60)

2017-09-28 Version 0.4.15

Bugfixes

• Always log response body (#16)
• Improved exception message if error JSON is Odata v4 (#55)
• Refuse "str" as a valid "[str]" type (#41)
• Better exception handling if input from server is not JSON valid

Features

• Add Configuration.session_configuration_callback to customize the requests.Session if necessary (#52)
• Add a flag to Serializer to disable client-side-validation (#51)
• Remove "import requests" from "exceptions.py" for apps that require fast loading time (#23)

Thank you to jayden-at-arista for the contribution

2017-08-23 Version 0.4.14

Bugfixes

• Fix regression introduced in msrest 0.4.12 - dict syntax with enum modeled as string and enum used

2017-08-22 Version 0.4.13

Bugfixes

• Fix regression introduced in msrest 0.4.12 - dict syntax using isodate.Duration (#42)

2017-08-21 Version 0.4.12

Features

• Input is now more lenient
• Model have a "validate" method to check content constraints
• Model have now 4 new methods:
  • "serialize" that gives the RestAPI that will be sent
  • "as_dict" that returns a dict version of the Model. Callbacks are available.
  • "deserialize" the parses the RestAPI JSON into a Model
  • "from_dict" that parses several dict syntax into a Model. Callbacks are available.
