v2.8.0

What's Changed

• SIMPLE-7063 Added group_display_attribute and refactored test_auth (#122)

  Do not fail if importing topologies for previous CML versions

• Removed unexpected behavior of import lab method (#120)

  When a lab with a specific title existed on a CML instance,
  we joined that lab instead of creating a new lab with the same
  title which would had been perfectly fine. I believe that this
  was some obsolete feature request from pre-CML 2.0 era where labs
  possibly were enforced to have unique titles.

v2.5.0

Release 2.5.0

This is the VIRL (CML) Client Library for the CML release 2.5.0. It is functionally equivalent to the bundled version. Note that the wheel on the server itself and the wheel here are not identical as they are using a different build process. Eventually, we want to have the Github version built ban automated workflow to be the "reference". We'll get there...

Going forward, we want to push changes to a development branch on Github and deprecate the internal-only BB repository. This will get rid of syncing and also will make the commit history consistent.

What's Changed

• this is a sync of the internal changes since 2.4.1 from BitBucket. At a high level
  • moved away from requests to httpx
  • added support for the new resource limiting feature
• 2.5.0 changes from BB by @tmikuska in #25

New Contributors

• @tmikuska made their first contribution in #25

Full Changelog: v2.4.0...v2.5.0

Release 2.4.1

This is the VIRL (CML) Client Library for the CML release 2.4.1. It is functionally equivalent to the bundled version.

What's Changed

• Missing changes from Bitbucket by @rschmied in #11

• SIMPLE-4483 replaced Lab.sync(with_node_configuration) argument with exclude_configurations

• SIMPLE-4496 deprecated multiple Interface methods in favor of better ones
  In Interface:

  • functions that return/expect multiple links replaced with singular versions, originals deprecated
  • deprecated .is_connected() and replaced with .connected
  • deprecated .is_physical and replaced with .physical

• SIMPLE-4389 replaced Lab.get_link_by_interfaces/nodes with Interface/Node.get_link(s)_to, Interface deprecations

  • Deprecated Lab.get_link_by_nodes/interfaces, used IDs instead of objects like the name would suggest
  • Added Node.get_links_to and .get_link_to, these replace get_link_by_nodes
  • Added Lab.get_interface_by_id

  Deprecations in Interface:

  • .links(), was pointlessly looking for multiple links despite one interface only being connected to one link
  • .degree, always 1 or 0, should be bool
  • .is_connected(), was a method instead of a parameter
  • .is_physical, for consistency with is_connected()

  Additions in Interface:

  • .link, replaces .links()
  • .connected, replaces .is_connected() and .degree
  • .physical, replaces .is_physical, to be consistent with .connected
  • .get_link_to(), replaces .get_link_by_interfaces

  Other changes:

  • reordered interface functions
  • first docstring letters capitalized for consistency
  • other minor docstring / syntax fixes

• SIMPLE-4313: update examples in client library docs, remove redundant typing

• SIMPLE-4463: PCL support for node compute ID

Note
For the future, we're moving the development of the PCL to Github, thus eliminating issues with commits and tags by maintaining different remotes / repositories. This should make everything a tad bit smoother.

Full Changelog: v2.4.0...v2.4.1

Release 2.4.0

This is the VIRL (CML) Client Library for the CML release 2.4.0. It is functionally equivalent to the bundled version, there are a few minor changes to accommodate the GitHub CI.

What's changed

• update all the dependencies as of June 2022
• removal of the integration tests as they can't be used on GitHub anyway
• changes to licensing SSMS URLs
• when connecting to nodes in a topology with PyATS to e.g. retrieve the configuration the extraction would fail if the expected hostname is different from the actual hostname. This is fixed
• changes to adapt to the changes of the 2.4 API

Known issues

• get_link_by_nodes and get_link_by_interfaces are broken -- will be addressed in a subsequent release

Note
Due to changes on the controller (everything is now kept in a database, IDs are all UUIDs created at database insertion time), elements can not be created locally anymore. E.g. offline operation of the client library has been deprecated.

Release 2.3.0

This is the VIRL (CML) Client Library for the CML release 2.3.0. It is functionally equivalent to the bundled version, there are a few minor changes to accommodate the GitHub CI.

2.2.1 post 2 release

This is a minor release with only a few fixes/changes. No API has changed and it is functionally equivalent to the 2.2.1 release.

What's Changed

• Show progress bar when uploading image by @exjobo in #15
• Small changes to the Makefiles to allow building the Sphinx docs and better cleanup
• Updated Python dependencies to get rid of dependency security vulnerability with urllib

New Contributors

• @exjobo made their first contribution in #15
