Newton Series Release Notes

1.0.1

Bug Fixes

  • Add additional precedence fixes to the argument precedence problems in os-client-config 1.18.0 and earlier. This all will be removed when os-client-config 1.19.x is the minimum allwed version in OpenStack’s global requirements.txt.

1.0.0

osc-lib was extracted from the main OpenStackClient repo after the OSC 2.4.0 release. A number of the lower-layer modules were simply renamed into the osc_lib namespace:

* openstackclient.api.api -> osc_lib.api.api
* openstackclient.api.auth -> osc_lib.api.auth
* openstackclient.api.utils -> osc_lib.api.utils
* openstackclient.common.command -> osc_lib.command.command
* openstackclient.common.exceptions -> osc_lib.exceptions
* openstackclient.common.logs -> osc_lib.logs
* openstackclient.common.parseractions -> osc_lib.cli.parseractions
* openstackclient.common.session -> osc_lib.session
* openstackclient.common.utils -> osc_lib.utils
* openstackclient.i18n -> osc_lib.i18n

The higher-layer components, such as the OpenStackShell and ClientManager objects, have had significant changes made to them to streamline interaction with os-client-config and keystoneauth in addition to the rename:

* openstackclient.common.commandmanager -> osc_lib.command.commandmanager
* openstackclient.shell -> osc_lib.shell

New Features

  • Add utils.find_min_match() function to filter a list based on a set of minimum values of attributes. For example, selecting all compute flavors that have a minimum amount of RAM and disk and VCPUs.
  • Add cli.client_config.OSC_Config as a subclass of os_client_config.config.OpenStackConfig to collect all of the configuration option special cases in OSC into one place and insert into the os-client-config handling.

Bug Fixes

  • The parseractions.KeyValueAction class now raises a argparse.ArgumentTypeError exception when the argument is not in the form <key>=<value>.
  • Change utils.find_resource() to handle client managers that lack a find() method. Raise an exceptions.CommandError exception when multiple matches are found.
  • Change utils.find_resource() to handle glanceclient’s HTTPNotFound exception.
  • Change utils.find_resource() to attempt lookups as IDs first, falling back to find() methods when available.
  • Refactor ClientManager class to remove OSC-specific logic and move all option special-cases into cli.client_config.OSC_Config. Also change some private attributes to public (region_name, interface, cacert, verify and remove _insecure).
  • Refactor OpenStackShell to handle only global argument processing and setting up the ClientManager with configuration from os-client-config. Command and plugin loading remain in OSC.
  • Prevent null key setting for key-value pairs in the KeyValueAction and MultiKeyValueAction parser actions. [Bug 1558690]
  • Decode argv into Unicode on Python 2 in OpenStackShell.main() [OSC Bug 1603494]
