Changelog
=========

Here you can see the full list of changes between each Flask-Restless release.

.. note::

   As of version 0.6, Flask-Restless supports both pure SQLAlchemy and
   Flask-SQLAlchemy models. Before that, it supported only Elixir models.

Version 0.6
-----------

Not yet released.

- Added support for accessing model instances via arbitrary primary keys,
  instead of requiring an integer column named ``id``.
- Added example which uses curl as a client.
- Added support for pagination of responses.
- Fixed issue due to symbolic link from :file:`README` to :file:`README.md`
  when running ``pip bundle foobar Flask-Restless``.
- Separated API blueprint creation from registration, using
  :meth:`APIManager.create_api` and :meth:`APIManager.create_api_blueprint`.
- Added support for pure SQLAlchemy in addition to Flask-SQLAlchemy.

Version 0.5
-----------

Released on April 10, 2012.

- Dual-licensed under GNU AGPLv3+ and 3-clause BSD license.
- Added capturing of exceptions raised during field validation.
- Added :file:`examples/separate_endpoints.py`, showing how to create separate
  API endpoints for a single model.
- Added ``include_columns`` keyword argument to
  :meth:`~flask_restless.APIManager.create_api` method to allow users to
  specify which columns of the model are exposed in the API.
- Replaced Elixir with Flask-SQLAlchemy. Flask-Restless now only supports
  Flask-SQLAlchemy.

Version 0.4

- Added Python 2.5 and Python 2.6 support.
- Allow users to specify which HTTP methods for a particular API will require
  authentication and how that authentication will take place.
- Created base classes for test cases.
- Moved the ``evaluate_functions`` function out of the
  :mod:`flask_restless.search` module and corrected documentation about how
  function evaluation works.
- Added `allow_functions` keyword argument to
  :meth:`~flask_restless.APIManager.create_api`.
- Fixed bug where we weren't allowing PUT requests in
  :meth:`~flask.ext.restless.manager.APIManager.create_api`.
- Added ``collection_name`` keyword argument to
  :meth:`~flask_restless.APIManager.create_api` to allow user provided names in
  URLs.
- Added ``allow_patch_many`` keyword argument to
  :meth:`~flask_restless.APIManager.create_api` to allow enabling or disabling
  the PATCH many functionality.
