0.7.0: 2013-05-19

• Fix Issue.close, Issue.reopen, and Issue.assign. (Issue #106)

• Add check_authorization to the GitHub class to cover the new part of the API.

• Add create_file, update_file, delete_file, iter_contributor_statistics, iter_commit_activity, iter_code_frequency and weekly_commit_count to the Repository object.

• Add update and delete methods to the Contents object.

• Add is_following to the User object.

• Add head, base parameters to Repository.iter_pulls.

• The signature of Hook.edit has changed since that endpoint has changed as well. See: github/developer.github.com@b95f291a47954154a6a8cd7c2296cdda9b610164

• github3.GitHub can now be used as a context manager, e.g.,

  with github.GitHub() as gh:
      u = gh.user('sigmavirus24')

0.6.1: 2013-04-06

• Add equality for labels courtesy of Alejandro Gomez (@alejandrogomez)

0.6.0: 2013-04-05

• Add sort and order parameters to github3.GitHub.search_users and github3.GitHub.search_repos.

• Add iter_commits to github3.gists.Gist as a means of re-requesting just the history from GitHub and iterating over it.

• Add minimal logging (e.g., logging.getLogger('github3'))

• Re-organize the library a bit. (Split up repos.py, issues.py, gists.py and a few others into sub-modules for my sanity.)

• Calling refresh(True) on a github3.structs.GitHubIterator actually works as expected now.

• API iter_ methods now accept the etag argument as the GitHub.iter_ methods do.

• Make github3.octocat and github3.github.GitHub.octocat both support sending messages to make the Octocat say things. (Think cowsay)

• Remove vendored dependency of PySO8601.

• Split GitHub.iter_repos into GitHub.iter_user_repos and GitHub.iter_repos. As a consequence github3.iter_repos is now github3.iter_user_repos

• IssueComment.update was corrected to match GitHub’s documentation

• github3.login now accepts an optional url parameter for users of the GitHubEnterprise API, courtesy of Kristian Glass (@doismellburning)

• Several classes now allow their instances to be compared with == and !=. In most cases this will check the unique id provided by GitHub. In others, it will check SHAs and any other guaranteed immutable and unique attribute. The class doc-strings all have information about this and details about how equivalence is determined.

0.5.3: 2013-03-19

• Add missing optional parameter to Repository.contents. Thanks @tpetr

0.5.2: 2013-03-02

• Stop trying to decode the byte strings returned by b64decode. Fixes #72

0.5.1: 2013-02-21

• Hot fix an issue when a user doesn’t have a real name set

0.5: 2013-02-16

• 100% (mock) test coverage

• Add support for the announced meta endpoint.

• Add support for conditional refreshing, e.g.,

  import github3
  
  u = github3.user('sigmavirus24')
  
  # some time later
  
  u.refresh()  # Will ALWAYS send a GET request and lower your ratelimit
  u.refresh(True)  # Will send the GET with a header such that if nothing
                   # has changed, it will not count against your ratelimit
                   # otherwise you'll get the updated user object.

• Add support for conditional iterables. What this means is that you can do:

  import github3
  
  i = github3.iter_all_repos(10)
  
  for repo in i:
      # do stuff
  
  i = github3.iter_all_repos(10, etag=i.etag)

  And the second call will only give you the new repositories since the last request. This mimics behavior in pengwynn/octokit

• Add support for sortable stars.

• In github3.users.User, iter_keys now allows you to iterate over any user’s keys. No name is returned for each key. This is the equivalent of visiting: github.com/:user.keys

• In github3.repos.Repository, pubsubhubbub has been removed. Use github3.github.Github.pubsubhubbub instead

• In github3.api, iter_repo_issues’s signature has been corrected.

• Remove list_{labels, comments, events} methods from github3.issues.Issue

• Remove list_{comments, commits, files} methods from github3.pulls.PullRequest

• In github3.gists.Gist:

  • the user attribute was changed by GitHub and is now the owner attribute

  • the public attribute and the is_public method return the same information. The method will be removed in the next version.

  • the is_starred method now requires authentication

  • the default refresh method is no longer over-ridden. In a change made in before, a generic refresh method was added to most objects. This was overridden in the Gist object and would cause otherwise unexpected results.

• github3.events.Event.is_public() and github3.events.Event.public now return the same information. In the next version, the former will be removed.

• In github3.issues.Issue

  • add_labels now returns the list of Labels on the issue instead of a boolean.

  • remove_label now retuns a boolean.

  • remove_all_labels and replace_labels now return lists. The former should return an empty list on a successful call. The latter should return a list of github3.issue.Label objects.

• Now we won’t get spurious GitHubErrors on 404s, only on other expected errors whilst accessing the json in a response. All methods that return an object can now actually return None if it gets a 404 instead of just raising an exception. (Inspired by #49)

• GitHubStatus API now works.

0.4: 2013-01-16

• In github3.legacy.LegacyRepo

  • has_{downloads,issues,wiki} are now attributes.

  • is_private() and the private attribute return the same thing is_private() will be deprecated in the next release.

• In github3.repos.Repository

  • is_fork() is now deprecated in favor of the fork attribute

  • is_private() is now deprecated in favor of the private attribute

• In github3.repos.Hook

  • is_active() is now deprecated in favor of the active attribute

• In github3.pulls.PullRequest

  • is_mergeable() is now deprecated in favor of the mergeable attribute

• In github3.notifications.Thread

  • is_unread() is now deprecated in favor of the unread

• pubsubhubbub() is now present on the GitHub object and will be removed from the Repository object in the next release

• 70% test coverage

0.3: 2013-01-01

• In github3.repos.Repository

  • is_fork() and fork return the same thing

  • is_private() and private return the same thing as well

  • has_downloads, has_issues, has_wiki are now straight attributes

• In github3.repos.Hook

  • is_active() and active return the same value

• In github3.pulls.PullRequest

  • is_mergeable() and mergeable are now the same

  • repository now returns a tuple of the login and name of the repository it belongs to

• In github3.notifications.Thread

  • is_unread() and unread are now the same

• In github3.gists

  • GistFile.filename and GistFile.name return the same information

  • Gist.history now lists the history of the gist

  • GistHistory is an object representing one commit or version of the history

  • You can retrieve gists at a specific version with GistHistory.get_gist()

• github3.orgs.Organization.iter_repos now accepts all types

• list_* methods on Organization objects that were missed are now deleted

• Some objects now have __str__ methods. You can now do things like:

  import github3
  u = github3.user('sigmavirus24')
  r = github3.repository(u, 'github3.py')

  And

  import github3
  
  r = github3.repository('sigmavirus24', 'github3.py')
  
  template = """Some kind of template where you mention this repository
  {0}"""
  
  print(template.format(r))
  # Some kind of template where you mention this repository
  # sigmavirus24/github3.py

  Current list of objects with this feature:

  • github3.users.User (uses the login name)

  • github3.users.Key (uses the key text)

  • github3.users.Repository (uses the login/name pair)

  • github3.users.RepoTag (uses the tag name)

  • github3.users.Contents (uses the decoded content)

• 60% test coverage with mock

• Upgrade to requests 1.0.x
