1.5.0 Brick House

Added

• Added optional action argument to Policy.add_package. Now you can specify that you want to "Cache", "Install Cached", or "Install". Uses "Install" by default. (#48)
• Added CommandFlush object (new endpoint in JSS API).
• Added LogFlush object (new endpoint in JSS API).
• Added Patch object.
• Added VPPAssignment object (untested at this time).
• Added VPPInvitation object (untested at this time).
• Added JSSObject.to_string and JSSObject.to_file methods to JSSObject.
• Added JSSObject.pickle and JSSObject.from_pickle methods.
• Added JSSObjectList.pickle and JSSObjectList.from_pickle.
• Added category search to Policy. (#50 Thanks @jlrgraham)
• Added stub objects. With these new endpoints, the Casper API now allows multiple parameters in a single URL (aside from the subset param). As I have limited development time for this project, these endpoints have stub objects added, but no JSS helper method, testing, or easy import with import jss. The TODO list has an item to add an ability to handle an arbitrary number of keyword arguments to a a GET request to support these new endpoints. Until then, the following objects serve as placeholders:
  • Added ComputerApplication object (untested at this time).
  • Added ComputerApplicationUsage object.
  • Added ComputerHardwareSoftwareReport object (untested at this time).
  • Added ComputerHistory object (untested at this time).

Changed

• JSSObjectList.retrieve_all now returns a JSSObjectList instead of a list. This is to support being able to pickle/unpickle the contained objects all at once.
• JSSObject.from_string encodes input to utf-8 now. ElementTree.fromstring doesn't accept unicode, so anything outside of ascii throws an exception. (#44 Thanks @systemheld!)
• SMB now defaults to port 445 (#51 #53 Thanks @ChrOst)

Fixed

• Fix file type constants in distribution_point.py to satisfy Requests' requirement for string-type headers (#55 thanks @ftiff!)
