Changes

next

• Changed the way datas of complex types are stored. In previous versions, an attribute was added to the type for each attribute, its name being the attribute name prefixed with '_'.

  Starting with this version, a single attribute _wsme_dataholder is added to the instance.

  The motivation behind this change is to avoid adding too many attributes to the object.

• Add a special type 'HostRequest' that allow a function to ask for the host framework request object in its arguments.

• New adapter: wsmeext.flask, for the Flask framework.

• Fix: the cornice adapter was not usable.

• Fix: Submodules of wsmeext were missing in the packages.

• Fix: The demo app was still depending on the WSME-Soap package (which has been merged into WSME in 0.5b1).

• Fix: A function with only on 'body' parameter would fail when being called.

• Fix: Missing arguments were poorly reported by the frameworks adapters.

0.5b1 (2013-01-30)

• Introduce a new kind of adapters that rely on the framework routing. Adapters are provided for Pecan, TurboGears and cornice.
• Reorganised the rest protocol implementation to ease the implementation of adapters that rely only on the host framework routing system.
• The default rest @expose decorator does not wrap the decorated function anymore. If needed to expose a same function several times, a parameter multiple_expose=True has been introduced.
• Remove the wsme.release module
• Fix == operator on ArrayType
• Adapted the wsme.sphinxext module to work with the function exposed by the wsme.pecan adapter.
• Allow promotion of int to float on float attributes (Doug Hellman)
• Add a samples_slot option to the .. autotype directive to choose where the data samples whould be inserted (Doug Hellman).
• Add sample() to ArrayType and DictType (Doug Hellman).
• New syntax for object arrays as GET parameters, without brackets. Ex: ?o.f1=a&o.f1=b&o.f2=c&o.f2=d is an array of two objects: [{'f1': 'a', 'f2': 'c']}, {'f1': 'b', 'f2': 'd']}.
• @signature (and its @wsexpose frontends) has a new parameter: ignore_extra_args.
• Fix boolean as input type support in the soap implementation (Craig McDaniel).
• Fix empty/nil strings distinction in soap (Craig McDaniel).
• Improved unittests code coverage.
• Ported the soap implementation to python 3.
• Moved non-core features (adapters, sphinx extension) to the wsmeext module.
• Change the GET parameter name for passing the request body as a parameter is now from 'body' to '__body__'
• The soap, extdirect and sqlalchemy packages have been merged into the main package.
• Changed the documentation theme to "Cloud".

0.4 (2012-10-15)

• Automatically converts unicode strings to/from ascii bytes.
• Use d2to1 to simplify setup.py.
• Implements the SPORE specification.
• Fixed a few things in the documentation

0.4b1 (2012-09-14)

• Now supports Python 3.2
• String types handling is clearer.
• New wsme.types.File type.
• Supports cross-referenced types.
• Various bugfixes.
• Tests code coverage is now over 95%.
• RESTful protocol can now use the http method.
• UserTypes can now be given a name that will be used in the documentation.
• Complex types can inherit wsme.types.Base. They will have a default constructor and be registered automatically.
• Removed the wsme.wsgi.adapt function if favor of wsme.WSRoot.wsgiapp

Extensions

wsme-soap

• Function names now starts with a lowercase letter.
• Fixed issues with arrays (issue #3).
• Fixed empty array handling.

wsme-sqlalchemy

This new extension makes it easy to create webservices on top of a SQLAlchemy set of mapped classes.

wsme-extdirect

• Implements server-side DataStore (wsmeext.extdirect.datastore.DataStoreController).
• Add Store and Model javascript definition auto-generation
• Add Store server-side based on SQLAlchemy mapped classes (wsmeext.extdirect.sadatastore.SADataStoreController).

0.3 (2012-04-20)

• Initial Sphinx integration.

0.3b2 (2012-03-29)

• Fixed issues with the TG1 adapter.
• Now handle dict and UserType types as GET/POST params.
• Better handling of application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoded POSTs in rest protocols.
• wsattr now takes a 'default' parameter that will be returned instead of 'Unset' if no value has been set.

0.3b1 (2012-01-19)

• Per-call database transaction handling.
• Unset is now imported in the wsme module
• Attributes of complex types can now have a different name in the public api and in the implementation.
• Complex arguments can now be sent as GET/POST params in the rest protocols.
• The restjson protocol do not nest the results in an object anymore.
• Improved the documentation
• Fix array attributes validation.
• Fix date|time parsing errors.
• Fix Unset values validation.
• Fix registering of complex types inheriting form already registered complex types.
• Fix user types, str and None values encoding/decoding.

0.2.0 (2011-10-29)

• Added batch-calls abilities.
• Introduce a UnsetType and a Unset constant so that non-mandatory attributes can remain unset (which is different from null).
• Fix: If a complex type was only used as an input type, it was not registered.
• Add support for user types.
• Add an Enum type (which is a user type).
• The 'binary' type is now a user type.
• Complex types:
  • Fix inspection of complex types with inheritance.
  • Fix inspection of self-referencing complex types.
  • wsattr is now a python Descriptor, which makes it possible to retrieve the attribute definition on a class while manipulating values on the instance.
  • Add strong type validation on assignment (made possible by the use of Descriptors).
• ExtDirect:
  • Implements batch calls
  • Fix None values conversion
  • Fix transaction result : 'action' and 'method' were missing.

0.1.1 (2011-10-20)

• Changed the internal API by introducing a CallContext object. It makes it easier to implement some protocols that have a transaction or call id that has to be returned. It will also make it possible to implement batch-calls in a later version.
• More test coverage.
• Fix a problem with array attribute types not being registered.
• Fix the mandatory / default detection on function arguments.
• Fix issues with the SOAP protocol implementation which should now work properly with a suds client.
• Fix issues with the ExtDirect protocol implementation.

• Protocol insertion order now influence the protocol selection
• Move the soap protocol implementation in a separate lib, WSME-Soap
• Introduce a new protocol ExtDirect in the WSME-ExtDirect lib.

0.1.0a4 (2011-10-12)

• Change the way framework adapters works. Now the adapter modules have a simple adapt function that adapt a wsme.WSRoot instance. This way a same root can be integrated in several framework.

0.1.0a3 (2011-10-11)

• Add specialised WSRoot classes for easy integration as a WSGI Application (wsme.wsgi.WSRoot) or a TurboGears 1.x controller (wsme.tg1.WSRoot).
• Improve the documentation.
• More unit tests and code-coverage.

0.1.0a2 (2011-10-07)

• Added support for arrays in all the protocols

0.1.0a1 (2011-10-04)

Initial public release.
