PyAMF Changelog
This file contains information about the changes between the different
versions of PyAMF.
- Support for decoding the 'source' property on ArrayCollections (Ticket:488)
- Fixed an issue in the GAE adapter where dynamic properties would be missing
on referenced objects. (Ticket:511)
- Fixed a critical issue with AMF0 reference counting when encoding remoting
responses. (Ticket:510)
- Strengthened http header handling in the client (Ticket:492)
- Support for Django i18n ugettext_lazy (Ticket:496)
- Added support for microseconds for datetime objects. Thanks to Derek Payton
for the patch. (Ticket:490)
- Added support for property types on SQLAlchemy mapped classes. (Ticket:491)
- Added support for property types for Google AppEngine db.Model and
db.Expando. (Ticket:487)
- amf0.Encoder.use_amf3 has been extended to cover all object types
(Ticket:453,467)
- Property types on Django models will now encode as expected. (Ticket:480)
- Django models.ForeignKey properties will be followed only if previously
accessed outside of PyAMF. _[attr]_cache is no longer encoded.
(Ticket:456)
- Encoding {0:0, '0':1} will now raise an AttributeError. (Ticket:458)
- Google AppEngine adapter improvements - see ticket for details (Ticket:479)
- amf0.Encoder will encode all elements as AMF3 if use_amf3 option is set to
True (Ticket:453)
- Unicode handling in __repr__ functions has been improved (Ticket:455)
- object attributes and dict keys are now utf8 encoded bytestrings. Python
**kwargs doesn't accept unicode key objects. (Ticket:463)
- Django models.TimeField, models.DateField will now be converted to the
correct type (datetime.time and datetime.date respectively).
fields.NOT_PROVIDED is also checked for by converting to pyamf.Undefined
and back again. (Ticket:457)
- cpyamf now deals with exceptional floats the same way as pure python -
especially on windows (Ticket:448)
- Support for SQLAlchemy 0.5.1 (Ticket:449)
- amf0.Encoder now has a use_amf3 flag which determines which XML type to
return to the client (Ticket:435)
- BufferedByteString.truncate(length) now actually does something useful
(Ticket:444)
- setup.py now gets the version number from pyamf/__init__.py source
(Ticket:429)
- Support for SQLAlchemy 0.5.0 (Ticket:436)
- pyamf.util.DataTypeMixIn/cpyamf.util.BufferedByteStream can now
encode/decode 24bit un/signed integers. (Ticket:422)
- pyamf.util.StringIOProxy/cpyamf.util.BufferedByteStream both have new
consume methods that will chop of the tail of the stream (already read
stream). (Ticket:423)
- Now checking for all types of supported xml lib types for encoding, but
will only use the first implementation for decoding (Ticket:426)
- fpconst dependancy is now only required if the platform requires it
(Ticket:356)
- Decoding negative timestamps on certain platforms (namely Windows) are now
supported (Ticket:390)
- Support for SQLAlchemy 0.4.0 (Ticket:410)
- Support for encoding/decoding SQLAlchemy ORM objects with a new adapter.
Lots of people involved in this one, but special thanks to Dave Thompson
and Michael Van Tellingen for making this happen. (Ticket:277)
- All gateways now log exceptions when exceptions are raised during
en/decoding. (Ticket:394)
- Flex messaging now uses correct static attributes for encoding. Determining
static/dynamic attributes on objects is now easier (Ticket:357)
- Added use_proxy option to amf3 which will automagically convert ObjectProxy
to dict and ArrayCollection to list on decoding, and vice versa on encode.
Thanks to dthompso for the excellent patch (Ticket:355)
- flex.ArrayCollection now subclasses list instead of dict as non-int keys
are not allowed. IList interface has been implemented. (Ticket:349)
- Encoding registered subclass of list that define the 'externalised'
metadata will be encoded as an object.
- Encoders how have a 'strict' mode. Not generally useful for the time being
but will help with developments in the future. Type mapped functions now
require a second 'encoder' attribute. (Ticket:378)
- Added adapter to handle the decimal module and, if strict is set to False,
silently converts a Decimal instance to a float (Ticket:376)
- ClassAlias can now be subclassed and three new methods have been added:
applyAttributes, createInstance, getAttributes all which help to provide
fine control for object/instance manipulation (Ticket:348)
- Added support for __slots__ (Ticket:347)
- Fixed problem when decoding objects that map to GAE db.Model objects with
required properties (Ticket:342)
- ByteArray now does not throw an error when used in the Remoting framework
(Ticket:379)
- A new adapter that converts sets.ImmutableSet and sets.Set to tuples before
encoding. (Ticket:280)
- A revamped google app engine adapter that checks for the _key attribute in
an aliased class and first loads the object from the datastore and then
applies that properties in the object stream. (Ticket:307)
- New helper function to make it easier to manually add adapters (Ticket:350)
- Ability to disable the c extension with passing --disable-ext to setup.py
(Ticket:381, 391)
- Python C-extension for the pyamf.util.BufferedByteStream class. Originally
contributed by Gerard Escalante (Ticket:225, 405)
- New API to add headers such as cookies in pyamf.remoting.client

any arguments (Ticket:322)
