Razor Client Release Notes

1.9.6 - 2019-08-30

• BUGFIX: The client's version number was not being displayed correctly in razor -v.

1.9.5 - 2019-08-29

• BUGFIX: Fixed handling of boolean arguments, e.g. --enabled in create-policy, where the following arguments were not delineated properly.

1.9.4 - 2019-08-26

• IMPROVEMENT: Moved from rest-client to faraday due to increasing dependency issues with rest-client.

1.9.3 - 2019-08-19 (yanked)

• BUGFIX: The unf gem dependency referenced a prerelease version of a gem. Rather than force the use of --pre when installing the gem, we will pin back to the released version, which requires GCC to build native extensions.

1.9.2 - 2019-08-14 (yanked)

• BUGFIX: Fixed error output when number or null datatypes are invalid.
• IMPROVEMENT: Now exits with status code 1 if login credentials are missing.
• IMPROVEMENT: Updated gem dependencies.
• IMPROVEMENT: Better error handling for REST exceptions returned from the Razor server.
• IMPROVEMENT: Removed Gemfile.lock from repository. This broadens the spectrum of which gems can be used as dependencies for this gem. This is especially useful for gem dependencies that become outdated or obsolete.
• BUGFIX: Pinned a version of the gettext-setup gem which caused an error if the version was too old.

1.9.1 - 2018-06-07

• NEW: Use the server's depth parameter if it is supported. This will dramatically decrease the number of API requests needed when listing collections.

1.8.1 - 2018-04-23

• IMPROVEMENT: The default API URL now attempts to use TLS on localhost port 8151 before falling back to non-TLS on 8150.
• BUGFIX: Removed extra output that was being added.

1.8.0

• IMPROVEMENT: Now allowing underscores to be mixed into argument lists, e.g. razor create-broker --name test --broker_type noop
• BUGFIX: Fixed extra output that was being added.

1.7.0 - 2018-01-17

• NEW: Removed support for Ruby < 2.0

0.16.0 - 2015-01-05

• BUGFIX: Commands were not always including authentication information in every request.
• IMPROVEMENT: Ruby version compatibility: Now works with Ruby < 1.9.2.
• NEW: Separate API and CLI help examples: There are now two formats for help examples. The new CLI format shows help text as a standard razor-client command. CLI is used by default. The API format is the same as before, and will show examples in JSON format.
• NEW: The events collection is new and has a special client-side display.
• NEW: RAZOR_API and razor -u $url URLs need to be explicit about http: and https:.
• NEW: Event queries can be limited (razor events --limit 5) and offset (razor events --start 5). This also works for razor nodes $name log.
• IMPROVEMENT: Viewing all columns in a query is now possible via razor $collection_path --full rather than razor --full $collection_path.
• NEW: razor-client now has an 'insecure' flag to ignore SSL verification errors.

Server version compatibility

0.15.0 - 2014-05-22

Usability of the client has been greatly enhanced:

• Tabular views of most collections: things like 'razor nodes' now display a table of results with important details about each node.
• Get help on commands via razor help COMMAND
• Output now includes hints on how to get more details on the things displayed
• No need to enter JSON on the command line for most commands (all but create-tag)
  • arrays can now be entered by repeating the same option, e.g. razor create-tag --name ... --tag t1 --tag t2
  • broker configuration is set using razor create-broker --name .. --configuration var1=value1 --configuration var2=value2 ...
• Clearer error message when server responds with 'Unauthorized' (RAZOR-175)
