Release Notes

2.0

• Upload and download support.
• Media type changes from application/vnd.coreapi+json to application/coreapi+json. For backwards compatibility, either are currently accepted.
• Codec methods dump()/load() become encode()/decode(). The old style methods currently continue to work for backward compatibility.
• The client instance validates that passed parameters match the available parameter names. Fails if unknown parameters are included, or required parameters are not included.
• .action() now accepts a validate=False argument, to turn off parameter validation.
• Parameter values are validated against the encoding used on the link to ensure that they can be represented in the request.
• type annotation added to Field instances.
• multipart/form-data is now consistently used on multipart links, even when no file arguments are passed.
• action, encoding, and transform parameters to .action() now replaced with a single overrides argument. The old style arguments currently continue to work for backward compatibility.
• The supports attribute is no longer used when defining codec classes. A supports property currently exists on the base class, to provide backwards compatibility for coreapi-cli.

The various backwards compatibility shims are planned to be removed in the 2.1 release.
