Changelog

7.8.4

• Just a bumped version, now that its tested and fully supports Gitlab versions up to 7.8

7.5.4

• Change license to Apache 2.0
• getproject now accepts a namespace/projectname as well like the gitlab api

7.5.3

• New function wrapper getall to get all results from any function that provides pagination [Anirudh Dutt]
• Remove pagination params from getdeploykeys, getbranches and getsshkeys as they dont support it [Anirudh Dutt]
• Add oAuth tokens to the login method [Ken Cochrane]
• You can now add the type of hook when creating it [tonicbupt]
• Allow Project Issues to be filtered by passing kwargs [Nick Whyte]
• Update docs [Itxaka Serrano]

7.5.2

• Support for the full Gitlab 7.5 API
• Fix python 2.6 compatibility
• All methods have documentation (Inside the library only, the docs are lagging a bit behind).
• New fork api that allows to actually fork a project instead of doing fork relations
• New label methods (getlabel, createlabel, editlabel, deletelabel)
• All get* methods that return more than one item support pagination. Check page and per_page args. Default to first page and 20 items per page.
• BREAKING CHANGE: Old sudo arg in methods to execute as other user is gone. Now there is a method setsudo(user_id/user_username) which will setup the header, so all the subsequent API calls will be done as that user. To get back to your user just do a setsudo() and the sudo parameter will be cleared
• BREAKING CHANGE: Some methods were returning True or False instead of the object created. Now all the methods in which there is something returning from the server is returned as a dictionary/list of dictionaries to the user
• BREAKING CHANGE: Some methods now use kwargs for the optional parameters so the code is more easy and readable. Methods affected: createproject, createprojectuser, createmilestone, editmilestone, updatemergerequest
• BREAKING CHANGE: Project wallnotes does not exist anymore, seems that they have been moved to project snippets (getsnippets, getsnippet, createsnippet, deletesnippet)
• BREAKING CHANGE: Removed getreadme method as its not part of the gitlab api, nor was it ever.
• BREAKING CHANGE: Old methods that started with list* are not get*. This is done in order to have a proper naming convention instead of having mixed listsomething and then getsomething. The actual
• BREAKING CHANGE: Old methods with new names: getownprojects -> getprojectsowned, getallprojects -> getprojectsall
