huawei-lte-api 2.0.0
This major release adds support for supplementary Unicode characters, new API endpoints and examples, modernizes the development toolchain, and removes APIs that have been deprecated for several years.
Breaking changes
AuthorizedConnection removed
Replace:
from huawei_lte_api.AuthorizedConnection import AuthorizedConnection
connection = AuthorizedConnection(url, username, password)with:
from huawei_lte_api.Connection import Connection
connection = Connection(url, username, password)login_on_demand removed
The deprecated login_on_demand argument had no effect and has been removed from Connection.
Deprecated device methods removed
Replace:
device.control(mode)
device.reboot()with:
device.set_control(mode)
device.set_control(ControlModeEnum.REBOOT)Integer SMS sort types removed
Sms.get_sms_list(sort_type=...) now requires SortTypeEnum:
from huawei_lte_api.enums.sms import SortTypeEnum
messages = client.sms.get_sms_list(sort_type=SortTypeEnum.DATE)Unicode support
Requests containing characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane, including emoji, are now encoded using CESU-8 for compatibility with Huawei routers.
CESU-8 surrogate pairs in router responses are converted to standard UTF-8 before XML parsing.
