RELEASE_NOTES.md

v0.19.0-beta2

2024-11-05

• renamed sync_routes_default feature to sync_routes_in_root
• improved appearance of docs wrt features
• added tests for custom clients logic

v0.19.0-beta1

2024-10-31

• BIG CHANGE: async support added
  • HTTP client traits completely redesigned
    • Should actually be much simpler to implement now, as the work of setting the right headers has been extracted out into client_helpers code, and implementations now just need to provide a generic HttpRequest type which can set any header.
  • The default sync client is still the default enabled feature.
  • To switch to the async mode, enable the default_async_client feature (and disable the default_client, sync_routes, sync_routes_default features).
• BIG CHANGE: no more nested Results
  • Functions which used to return Result<Result<T, E>, dropbox_sdk::Error> now return Result<T, dropbox_sdk::Error<E>>.
    • in other words, Ok(Err(e)) is now written Err(dropbox_sdk::Error::Api(e)) and Ok(Ok(v)) is just Ok(v).
    • dropbox_sdk::Error now has a type parameter which differs depending on the function being called.
• MSRV raised to 1.71.0

v0.18.1

2024-05-06

• fixed bug when using oauth2 refresh tokens using client secret instead of PKCE:
  • See #151 for details
  • New function Authorize::from_client_secret_refresh_token() should be used for any refresh tokens previously obtained using this flow
  • Thanks to Peerat Vichivanives for reporting and testing the fix

v0.18.0

2024-01-12

• MSRV raised to 1.65.0
• oauth2 changes and bugfixes:
  • Fix the check for expired token in the default client.
  • Added a helper for the above: client_trait::is_token_expired_error()
  • Authorize::obtain_access_token() when currently holding a refresh token will return an updated bearer token and retain the refresh token. There was previously a bug where it would switch to only being a short-lived token with no way to refresh.
  • (breaking) Oauth2Type::AuthorizationCode is now a struct variant with a named field instead of a tuple variant.
  • (breaking) Oauth2Type::ImplicitGrant now is a nullary variant
  • (breaking) Renamed Authorization::from_access_token() to Authorization::from_long_lived_access_token() and marked it as deprecated

v0.17.0

2023-11-10

• MSRV raised to 1.63.0
• Omit fields with null or default value in more places when serializing, and accept nulls when deserializing.
• Types which have an extends relationship in the spec now implement From to do conversion to or from the other type, as appropriate depending on the kind of types.

2021-07-25

• Major update to OAuth2 code
  • Now supports short-lived tokens with refresh tokens
  • Now supports PKCE auth flow, for apps that can't have client secrets

v0.12.0

2021-07-10

• API spec updates:
  • 2021-05-11, 2021-05-26, 2021-06-16, 2021-06-23, 2021-07-02: comments and team_log namespace changes

v0.11.3

2021-05-08

• API spec updates:
  • 2021-05-07: team_members namespace
  • 2021-04-14: team namespace

  • documentation, team_log updates
• API spec update 2021-03-24
  • documentation, team_log updates

v0.11.1

2021-02-22

• Routes tagged as deprecated in Stone now have the #[deprecated] attribute in Rust.
• API spec update 2021-02-18

v0.11.0

2021-02-16

• Implemented path root selection for default_client. Clients now have a .set_path_root() method which adds the Dropbox-API-Path-Root header, which sets what namespace paths are evaluated relative to. This requires that the dbx_common feature is enabled, as it uses the PathRoot type defined in that namespace.
• Updated to ureq 2.0.0. The only changes relevant to users of this crate is that it now uses rustls instead of system-native TLS, and that transport errors raised may be of higher quality.
• API spec update 2021-01-14
• API spec update 2021-01-22
• API spec update 2021-02-10
  • this contains a breaking change in the team_log namespace requiring a minor version bump: some fields that were previously required were made optional

v0.10.0

2020-12-11

• Several improvements to error types:
  • Routes with no error type defined now return a new NoError type instead of (). This new type implements Error, so now all routes' error types are guaranteed to be Error, and hence, Display as well. This type is uninhabited, meaning you can never actually see instances of this type, it exists for type-checking purposes only.
  • Removed the deprecated description function from Error impl for error types.
  • Added a cause() method to the Error impl for error types if they have any variants which contain error values.
  • Improved the Display impl for Error types by using the documentation strings provided, including recursing into nested errors or values if present.
• API spec updates
  • 2020-12-03
  • 2020-11-12

v0.9.0

2020-11-30

• All structs and enums except ones marked union_closed in the spec are now marked with #[non_exhaustive]. This means destructuring of structs must use .. to indicate that other fields may be present, and matches on enums must include a _ case to indicate that other variants may exist. This is because Stone explicitly reserves the right to add new fields and variants unless the type is a union_closed, so adding this attribute means future updates won't break existing code.
• All structs and enums now implement the PartialEq and Clone traits, in addition to Debug which was already implemented.
• Renamed the _Unknown catch-all enum variant to Other in all cases. Going along with the above, your match statement should always have an Other | _ => { ... } case at the end. Other protects you against server-side changes, whereas _ protects you against client-side code changes.
• generate.sh shell script replaced with python code, generate.py.
• added update_spec.py which updates the Stone API spec and tells you whether the update is semver compatible or not.
• Test improvements: all enum variants now have generated test cases. This increases the number of tests by roughly a factor of 4.

v0.8.0

2020-11-11

• Improvements to builder methods on structs (the fn with_fieldname(self, ...) -> Self methods)
  • Generate builder methods for structs which have only optional fields. These were erroneously missing.
  • Change builder methods for Optional<T> fields to take the inner type T as the argument directly. Users will need to remove Some( ... ) from the current argument for these methods.
• API spec update 2020-11-06
  • Adds parallel chunked uploads!

v0.7.1

2020-11-05

• Documentation updates only.

v0.7.0

2020-10-28

• Implemented support for different authentication types.
  • HyperClient is now UserAuthHyperClient.
  • API methods now take a different type of client for their first argument, depending on the auth type they require.
• Moved OAuth2 helper code out of hyper_client and made it independent of the HTTP client used, so users of custom HTTP clients don't have to reinvent the wheel for OAuth2.
  • The oauth2_token_from_authorization_code now is in a different module, and takes a HTTP client implementation as a new first argument.
• Changed the Error::RateLimited variant to include the requested backoff time.
• Replaced default HTTP client's hyper 0.10 implementation with one based on ureq.
  • Hyper 0.10 is out of date and unsupported, but we're not ready to transition to async style, which rules out upgrading to newer Hyper versions.
  • ureq as a small, synchronous HTTP client that is actively maintained.
  • There are some name changes, generally replacing "hyper" with "default", so that the implementation can be changed in the future without renaming things again:
    • hyper_client module -> default_client
    • hyper_client Cargo feature -> default_client
    • UserAuthHyperClient -> UserAuthDefaultClient
    • TeamAuthHyperClient -> TeamAuthDefaultClient
    • ... etc.
• API spec updates
  • 2020-10-28
  • 2020-10-15
  • 2020-10-09

  • notably, the cloud_docs namespace has been removed.
• add Dropbox-standard meta files
• enabled Dependabot

v0.5.0

2020-08-17

• change CI to GitHub Actions
• update Stone to 2.0.0

Breaking Change: Removing error_chain

Since the beginning, dropbox-sdk has used error_chain to generate the Error type used in the return value of all routes. This crate has been semi-deprecated and replaced in most codebases by either thiserror (for libraries) or anyhow (for applications). This release replaces error_chain with thiserror, which is a more "vanilla" error type crate, in that it doesn't appear in the types it generates, it simply eliminates the boilerplate code associated with writing an error type. This means it should integrate easily with whatever error-handling strategy your code uses.

Migration Advice

The change removing error_chain does not significantly change the Error enum's variants, but it does mean that users can't use the .chain_err(|| ...) method on it. Users who found that functionality useful are encouraged to take a look at the anyhow crate which provides similar functionality.

Alternatively, you can keep using error_chain in your code and include dropbox_sdk in your error type's foreign_links section.
