5. Change log¶
5.1. Version 0.6.1¶
Released: 2021-04-02
Bug fixes:
Fixed that the package did not contain the files for the ‘easy-vault’ command. (issue #45)
5.2. Version 0.6.0¶
Released: 2021-04-02
Incompatible changes:
The new optional ‘use_prompting’ parameter of ‘easy_vault.get_password()’ was not added at the end of the parameter list. This is incompatible for users who called the function with positional arguments. (related to issue #20)
The ‘–prompt’ option of the ‘easy-vault encrypt’ and ‘easy-vault decrypt’ commands was removed. (related to issue #20)
Bug fixes:
Fixed the issue that an open() call used the ‘encoding’ argument which is not supported on Python 2.7.
Fixed issues with files on Windows that have CRLF line endings.
Enhancements:
In the ‘EasyVault’ class, added more user control for the handling of passwords: The init method now accepts if the password is not provided and in that case is restricted to operate on decrypted vault files. The ‘easy_vault.get_password()’ function got an additional ‘use_prompting’ parameter that can be used to disable the interactive prompting for passwords. (issue #20)
In the ‘easy-vault encrypt’ and ‘easy-vault decrypt’ commands, removed the ‘–prompt’ option and added options ‘–set-password’ and ‘–no-keyring’ to better separate the two concerns of setting a new password and disabling the use of the keyring service. (issue #20)
Docs: Improved the documentation and command messages in many places.
Added a ‘–quiet’ option to the ‘easy-vault encrypt’ and ‘easy-vault decrypt’ commands that silöences the messages except for the password prompt. (issue #12)
In the ‘KeyRingLib’ class, added methods ‘is_available()’ and ‘check_available() that return whether the keyring service is available or check that it is available. (issue #34)
Added a new ‘easy-vault check-keyring’ command that checks whether the keyring service is available. (issue #36)
Test: Improved test coverage. (issue #8)
