Compatible with clients using version 32.
The ImageInterface class has changed as follows:
* file and directory actions will now have their mode validated
if failure occurs during plan execution to determine if bad
package metadata was the cause of execution failure. In

catch all ApiException class exceptions, although catching
specific exception subclasses for case-by-case handling in
addition to that is acceptable.
Version 31:
Compatible with clients using version 30.
All image-modifying operations now lock the image for exclusive use
by the current thread and process. If the lock cannot be obtained,
an ImageLockedError exception will be raised.
The ImageInterface class has changed as follows:
* A new property named 'blocking_locks' has been added to allow
clients to control image locking behaviour. See 'pydoc
pkg.client.api.ImageInterface' for details.
* The prepare() and execute_plan() methods will now raise an
InvalidPlanError if the image state has changed since the
plan was originally created. This is likely the result of
another client or process modifying the image.
Version 30:
Incompatible with clients using versions 0-29:
The ProgressTracker class has changed as follows:
* ver_output_warning() and ver_output_info() were added so that
callers can choose to output warning and info verification
messages separately from errors.

* plan_change_variant changed to plan_change_varcets.
w/ argument list changes.
* Added get_pub_search_order
* Added set_pub_search_after
* Added set_pub_search_before
Version 23:
Incompatible with clients using versions 0-22.
The pkg.client.api module has changed as follows:
* PackageInfo objects no longer take a "state" parameter, but a
"states" parameter, and the corresponding "state" member is now
"states", and is a list of states, rather than a single value.
Version 22:
Compatible with clients using version 21.
Changes:
Adds the description field to the PackageInfo class.
Version 21:
Incompatible with clients using versions 0-20.
Changes:
The pkg.client.api_errors module has changed as follows:
* All CatalogCacheError class exceptions were removed as the
catalog cache no longer exists.
Version 20:
Compatible with clients using version 19.
Changes:
The following exceptions were added to pkg.client.api_errors:
class ReadOnlyFileSystemException(PermissionsException):
"""Used to indicate that the operation was attempted on a
read-only filesystem"""
Version 19:
Incompatible with clients using versions 0-18.
Changes:
The ImageInterface class changed as follows:
* plan_update_all no longer returns a third value, the exception
caught. This value was never set.
* plan_install no longer returns a second value, the exception
caught. This value was never set.
Version 18:
Compatible with clients using versions 15-17.
Changes:
The following exceptions were added to pkg.client.api_errors:
class SetDisabledPublisherPreferred(PublisherError):
"""Used to indicate an attempt to set a disabled publisher as
the preferred publisher was made."""
Version 17:
Compatible with clients using versions 15-16.
Changes:
The following properties were added to pkg.client.api
ImageInterface class:
root
The absolute pathname of the filesystem root of the image.
This property is read-only.
Version 16:
Compatible with clients using version 15.
Changes:
The following exceptions were added to pkg.client.api_errors:
class NoSuchKey(CertificateError):
"""Used to indicate that a key could not be found."""
Version 15:
Incompatible with clients using versions 0-14.
Changes:
The unfound_fmris variable in the
pkg.client.api_errors.PlanCreationException class is now called
unmatched_fmris.
Version 14:
Compatible with clients using versions 12-14.
Changes:
The following methods were added to pkg.client.publisher.Publisher:
def create_meta_root(self):
"""Create the publisher's meta_root."""
def remove_meta_root(self):
"""Removes the publisher's meta_root."""
Version 13:
Compatible with clients using version 12.
Changes:
By default, publisher repositories will be checked for new metadata no more
than once every four hours unless otherwise requested. Each time a
publisher's selected repository is checked for updates, the client will
store a timestamp (in UTC) marking when the refresh was performed.
ImageInterface.refresh() has changed as follows:
* Changed 'full_refresh' to an optional keyword argument that defaults
to False.
* Added optional boolean keyword 'immediate' that allows the client to
request that a publisher be checked for updates even if a check is
not yet needed.
* Changed to properly use progress tracker for refreshing of publisher
metadata.
* Now only refreshes publisher metadata based on the update interval
specified by the refresh_seconds property on the publisher's
selected_repository.
ImageInterface.update_publisher() has changed as follows:
* When updating a publisher with 'refresh_allowed' set to False, its
catalog will no longer be removed. Instead, it is marked as needing
refresh, and the next time the client can do so, it will.
pkg.client.publisher.Publisher has changed as follows:
* New property 'last_refreshed':
A datetime object representing the time (in UTC) the
publisher's selected repository was last refreshed for new
metadata (such as catalog updates). 'None' if the publisher
hasn't been refreshed yet or the time is not available.
The above property will be automatically set by the api as needed
although api consumers are free to retrieve its value. Manually
setting this value is not recommended.
* New property 'meta_root':
The absolute pathname of the directory where the publisher's
metadata should be written to and read from.
The above property will be automatically set by the api as needed
although api consumers are free to retrieve its value. Manually
setting this value is not recommended.
* New property 'needs_refresh':
A boolean value indicating whether the publisher's metadata for
the currently selected repository needs to be refreshed.
Version 12:
Incompatible with clients using versions 0-12
Changes:
This versions adds local_search and remote_search to the api and removes
those functions from pkg.client.image.
Version 11:
Incompatible with clients using versions 0-10
Changes:
This version changes all parameter names and property names from 'authority'
to 'publisher'. For example, parameters named 'auths' were changed to
'pubs'; parameters named 'authent' were changed to 'pubent' and so forth.
In addition, the following new api functions were added to ImageInterface:
def add_publisher(self, pub, refresh_allowed=True):
"""Add the provided publisher object to the image
configuration."""

Version 10:
Incompatible with clients using versions 0-9
Changes:
This version changes the interface to info. It removes the action info
and licenses flag and replaces them with a set of options to allow
the caller control over which information is retrieved.
Version 9:
Compatible with clients using versions 0-8
Changes:
This version adds an optional argument to plan_update_all to allow the
specification of a name for the clone of the BE which is made. It also
exposes check_be_name as part of the api.
Version 8:
Compatible with clients using versions 0-7
Changes:
This version introduces InvalidDepotResponseException. The
exception is thrown when operations that refresh the catalog
discover that the server is not a pkg depot. Clients of the api
should catch this exception and respond appropriately.
Version 7:
Compatible with clients using versions 0-6
Changes:
Ignore the pkg_client_name parameter passed to api.ImageInterface() if
pkg.client.global_settings.client_name isn't None. This latter object
is now the preferred way to set the client name, and the
pkg_client_name parameter may be ignored or removed in the future.
Version 6:
Compatible with clients using versions 0-5
Changes:
Adds a new field to PackageInfo, category_info_list, which is a list of
PackageCategory objects. These objects contain the scheme and category
information for packages.
Version 5:
Compatible with clients using versions 0-4 as long as they have a generic
APIException. This is the case for PackageManager and UpdateManaget.
Changes:
plan_install and plan_update_all can now raise PermissionsException.
Version 4:
Compatible with clients using versions 1, 2, and 3
Changes:
Modifies where certain progress tracking calls were made, calling
evaluate_start much sooner.
Adds refresh tracking to progress.py. This allows for active feedback when
the catalogs of authorities are being refreshed.
Version 3:
Compatible with clients using Versions 1 and 2
Changes:
Adds an optional argument to info which determines whether detailed information
about actions will be returned
Adds the following new fields to PackageInfo objects: links, hardlinks,
files, dirs, dependencies
Version 2:
Compatible with clients using Version 1
Changes:
Adds the optional argument update_index to plan_install, plan_uninstall, and
plan_update_all. When the argument is false, no automatic update to the
index occurs. By default, the argument is true.
Version 1:
Incompatible with clients using Version 0
Changes:
plan_install now returns a tuple of whether there is anything to do and
a catalog refresh exception, if one was caught. In this, it mirrors the
first and third return values from plan_update_all.
