CHANGES

Changelog for yay
=================

3.2.0 (unreleased)
------------------

- The resolver now uses gevent. Dictionary keys are now resolved in parallel.
  This means in the face of blocking IO operations, the resolver can continue
  to deal with other parts of the graph.

- Simple event listening scheme based on the resolver operation cache. Combine
  with the PythonClass to build scripts that react to external events.

- The codebase is now flake8 clean apart from 2 exceptions (defined in
  setup.cfg). To run flake8 on yay run ``flake8 yay``.

- The expression parser/lexer are no longer subclasses. This avoids clashes
  over lextab.py/parsetab.py.


3.1.1 (2013-11-06)
------------------

- No change release.


3.1.0 (2013-11-06)
------------------

- Now supported on python 3.2 and python 3.3 (in addition to 2.6, 2.7 and
  pypy).

- Many fixes to YAML multiline block mode

- Lots of test coverage improvements

- Remove unnecessary support for Extended Slices

- Command line output is prettier

3.0.1 (2013-09-04)
------------------

- Nothing changed yet.


3.0 (2013-09-04)
----------------

- This is a full rewrite on top of the ply parsing framework.


0.0.62 (2012-09-27)
-------------------

- Try importing first as it might yield a hit and save checking the internets
  for things.


0.0.61 (2012-09-15)
-------------------

- An earlier version added validation to stop you replacing lists with mappings
  or vice versa. However the implementation didn't consider that you might
  extend a mapping that comes from a lookup.


0.0.60 (2012-09-15)
-------------------

- Fix filter node. It was previously unaware of its parent when expanded and
  this stopped its children from being able to look up values in the global
  namespace.


0.0.59 (2012-09-01)
-------------------

- Fix setting GPG_TTY.


0.0.58 (2012-08-15)
-------------------

- Capture GPG failures and throw exceptions. Unfortunately without talking to
  GPG over the status fd we can't get much information about what went wrong.

- Run in batch mode. This stops GPG from ignoring the stdout/stderr redirection
  but means you now *MUST* use a GPG agent as it can no longer prompt for a
  passphrase.

- GPG_TTY is set - this means gpg-agent can actually prompt now.

- Fix ``Config.add`` when using nested dictionaries.


0.0.57 (2012-08-02)
-------------------

- Add new lazy lookup method to the root config object. This is useful if you
  are building a lazy iterator over a dictionary key::

      def example_iterator(self, expression):
          try:
              for item in expression.expand():
                  resolved = item.resolve()
                  create_obj_from_settings(resolved)
          except CreateObjectError:
              # You can get line and column from the item object!
          except yay.errors.Error:
              # Ideal place to wrap Yay errors in your apps exceptions

      example_iterator(config.lookup("somekey"))

  You can see here that the API lets you defer any messy "key not found"
  exceptions until the iterator needs to access they key - and the iterator
  already has apropriate exception handling.

- Add additional test cases for backwards compatibility


0.0.56 (2012-07-31)
-------------------

- Code paths are now decorated with tracing context. This ``__context__``
  metadata gives a sense of what yay was doing when it went off the handle.


0.0.55 (2012-07-25)
-------------------

- Fix PackageIndex to not warn() on missing package - we capture this
  ourselves!


0.0.54 (2012-07-22)
-------------------

- Line number and file information should be available for nodes that have been
  cloned leading to much more useful error output.

- Index errors on Sequence nodes will be properly dealt with

- Treating a sequence as a mapping node will trigger an appropriate Yay error.


0.0.53 (2012-07-21)
-------------------

- Allow python code using yay to set default configuration for openers


0.0.52 (2012-07-21)
-------------------

- Fix regression in ``package://`` for existing users..


0.0.51 (2012-07-19)
-------------------

- Introduce a lazily evaluated mechanism for expanding the search path::

      .search:
        - package://some.egg/
        - http://raw.github.com/isotoma/yay/

  Any subsequent ``.import`` statements will use the modified search path.

- If a package specified either as part of a .include or as part of a .search
  is not available on sys.path then an attempt will be made to install it.

- Can pass config to opener backends using ``.config``. For example, you might
  want to have the ``package://`` opener to use your internal package
  repository::

      .config:
          openers:
              packages:
                  index: https://my-python-mirror/simple/
                  username: joe
                  password: penguin55

  You can use variable subsitution and to define the password in a GPG
  encrypted yay file or to push the variable from application that is using
  Yay.

- Yay openers support basic auth in the url. If used with .include then use of
  secrets to concatenate to hide the password is suggsted::

      # Define ${password} in a GPG armored file
      .include: home://.credentials.yay.gpg

      .search:
        - https://username:${password}@svn.yourcompany.org/svn/cookbook/trunk

- ``.include`` and ``.search`` may be a single scalar value rather than a list
  if you desire.


0.0.50 (2012-07-10)
-------------------

- Allow expressions to return an empty dictionary::

      result: ${site.vhosts else {}}


0.0.49 (2012-06-27)
-------------------

- Added a string replacement function allowing people to do things like::

      something: jolly good show
      slug: ${replace(something, " ", "-")}

  thereafter the value of ``slug`` will be ``jolly-good-show``.


0.0.48 (2012-04-07)
-------------------

- Support in operator during foreach::

      result.foreach v in somevalues if v in somelist: ${v}.


0.0.47 (2012-04-06)
-------------------

- Allow expressions to contain literal strings and floats::

      result: ${site.description else "No description"}
      result2: ${3.212121}

- Allow expressions to return an empty list::

      result: ${site.vhosts else []}

- Allow equality checks of undefined keys to pass or fail appropriately without
  raising a NoMatching exception::

      data:
        part1:
          a: 1
        part2:
          c: 2

      res1.foreach p in data if data[p].a = 2: ${p}
      res2.foreach p in data if data[p].c != 1: ${p}

  res1 will be empty as neither part1 nor part2 have an a field with a value of
  2, and res2 will contain part1 and part2 as neither have a c field wth a
  value of 1.

- Add an ``undefined`` that raises a NoMatch exception when resolved. This
  allows one to filter by whether or not a key is present in a mapping.

      data:
        part1:
          a: 1
        part2:
          c: 2

      res.foreach p in data if data[p].c = undefined: ${p}

  res will contain part1 as part1 doesn't have a c field.


0.0.46 (2012-04-04)
-------------------

- Fix ``else`` expression inside an ``.include``


0.0.45 (2012-03-22)
-------------------

- You can now pass an etag to the open method of ``Openers``. This will throw a
  NotModified exception if etag matching shows the request URI is unchanged.
  This can be used to implement caching strategies and reduce the amount of data
  that yay pulls over network connections::

      >>> from yay.openers import Openers
      >>> fp = Openers().open("/tmp/somefile, etag="1234535462356456fa")
      NotModified: File '/tmp/somefile' not modified

- All openers will now have an etag property. This property can be None if a
  suitable etag cannot be provided. Otherwise it should be some hash that
  guarantees the state of the file so that later requests can just ask "has it
  changed since it was in this state". To get an etag::

        >>> from yay.openers import Openers
        >>> fp = Openers().open("/tmp/somefile")
        >>> print fp.etag
        1234535462356456fa


0.0.44 (2012-03-17)
-------------------

- Fix .select when value that is resolved is a complicated expression.

- Better validation when you accidentally mix up list and mapping types.


0.0.43 (2012-02-12)
-------------------

- Fix handling of paths on searchpath without a scheme.


0.0.42 (2012-01-01)
-------------------

- Change how Django boxing works so that a .bind isn't required for the
  boxing mechanism to work. This allows raw Django mdoels to be pushed
  into Yay using the ``.add`` API from 0.0.41.


0.0.41 (2011-12-21)
-------------------

- You can inject Python objects into the Yay Config object, as long as Yay
  knows how to box them. If you had a Yay file like this::

      hello: abc
      result: ${hello}

  And the following python code::

      from yay.config import Config
      c = Config()
      c.load_uri(example_file)
      c.add(dict(hello="xyx"))

  Then the following assertion is true::

      c.get() == dict(hello="xyz", result="xyz")


0.0.40 (2011-12-13)
-------------------

- Fixes calling macros defined in other files.


0.0.39 (2011-11-30)
-------------------

- Fix string builder so that configs containing secrets can be pickled.


0.0.38 (2011-11-22)
-------------------

- This is a bugfix release to improve existing features, especially boxing of
  foreign data.

- Move more code away from direct use of ``Boxed`` to ``BoxingFactory.box``

- Wrap any dictionary objects in a Mapping object so they can be merged with
  other mappings that come from within Yay.


0.0.37 (2011-11-20)
-------------------

- Brown paper bag release to remove stray print.


0.0.36 (2011-11-20)
-------------------

- There is now a ``home://`` URL handler. For my laptop this means::

      import yay
      yay.load_uri("home://foo/bar.yay")

  Is equivalent to::

      import yay
      yay.load_uri("/home/john/foo/bar.yay")

- Improve searchpath handling to better cope with URIs.

- Add support for ``else`` keyword in expressions as per YEP2::

      foo:
          bar: ${foo.baz else 52}

  This is useful for providing sensible defaults in your recipes.

- The loop block is now autoflattening. This means that constructs that yield
  lists of lists will be turned into 1-dimensional lists by ``.foreach``. For
  example::

      somelist:
        - - - a
            - b
          - c
        - d

      someotherlist.foreach var in somelist: ${var}

  The list ``someotherlist`` would now contain::

      somelist:
       - a
       - b
       - c
       - d

  The previous behaviour can be obtained with the ``chain`` modifier::

      somelist.foreach var in somelist chain: ${var}

- Add a simple macro language. This is highly EXPERIMENTAL and subject to
  frequent syntax tweaks. You can define a reusable block of configuration
  using the .define statement. An example of this in Yaybu to create a reusable
  virtualenv step::

    .define Virtualenv:
      - Directory:
          name: ${venv.location}
          owner: ${venv.owner}
      - Execute:
          name: create-virtualenv-${venv.location}
          command: virtualenv --no-site-packages ${venv.location}
          creates: ${venv.location}/bin/pip
      - Execute:
          name: install-requirements-${venv.location}
          command: ${venv.location}/bin/pip install -r ${venv.requirements}

  The macro is callable inline as part of an expression. For example::

    resources.append:
      .foreach venv in virtualenvs: ${Virtualenv!}

  Equally you can do this::

    .define Virtualenv:
      - Directory:
          name: ${location}
          owner: ${owner}
    # SNIP

    resources.append:
        Virtualenv!:
          location: /tmp/example
          owner: dave
          requirements: /tmp/requirements.txt


0.0.35 (2011-11-12)
-------------------

- This release refactors ProtectedString to make it more useful outside Yay.
  Instead of importing ``yay.protectedstring.ProtectedString`` you should
  import ``yay.String``

- You can now pass strings to the constructor and they will automatically be
  wrapped. Previously you had to pass StringPart's to the constructor. That is
  now an internal implementation detail.

- There is now an extend() function. This accepts lists that contains a mixture
  of raw strings and other ``String`` objects::

      s = String("echo")
      y = String("supersekritpassword", secret=True)
      s.extend(["a", "b", y, "d"])

- There is now an as_list() function. This returns all the parts you have added
  to a string. This is useful if you are building a command line to pass to
  subprocess::

      s.String(["someprogram", "--pasword"])
      s.add_secret("password")

      # Log the obfuscated version but execute with the real password
      log.info(s.protected)
      p = subprocess.Popen(s.as_list(secret=False), cwd="/")

- There is now a ``secret`` call in Yay for exercising secret Yay without
  needing to use GPG. This is mainly for test purposes, but might be useful if
  you have strings which arent closely guarded secrets yet you dont want them
  show in logs. To use it you do something like this::

      resources.append:
        - Checkout:
            name: /checkouts/mycode
            repository: http://github.com/whatever
            scm_password.secret: mypassword

  This example is from Yaybu and would stop Yaybu from logging your SVN
  password.
