Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

  • Provides a public base class for all pyxelrest issued exceptions: pyxelrest.PyxelRestException.
  • install_addin script now has a destination parameter allowing to install it anywhere.
  • Allow to report an issue from the PyxelRest tab within Microsoft Excel.
  • Allow to provide an OpenAPI definition within the configuration.
  • Allow to change path to up-to-date configurations while add-in is running.
  • Display path to python in Microsoft Excel add-in.
  • Display path to xlwings BAS file in Microsoft Excel add-in.
  • Allow to toggle pre-releases check in Microsoft Excel add-in.

Fixed

  • Allow flexible dependencies versions (only requires major component to match).
  • Compatibility with python 3.11.
  • Ability to change the configuration and impact loaded functions within module without restarting python.
  • file URl are now properly handled, they must start with file:/// instead of file://
  • Updater do not rely on yaml anymore. Instead, a basic configuration for logging is used. This should prevent random yaml upgrade issues.
  • Do not request VBA caller in threading context (as it cannot be retrieved and result in COM call failure).

  • Microsoft Excel add-in now ensure required extra python modules are installed if required.
  • Allow adding new configuration sections via auto-update that will not be updated afterwards.
  • Do not attempt to generate user defined functions if xlwings cannot be imported.

  • Avoid checking trust access to the VBA project object model twice on function generation.
  • Return raw result when using as a python module even if HTTP 202 is received.
  • Return the full response as text when using as a python module, and not only the first 255 characters.
  • In case NO_PROXY environment variable was containing multiple URLs and should have been applied, it was not the case by the add-in.

  • Allow str parameter name.
  • Handle primitive type body (such as sending a raw string, an integer, etc...).

Removed

  • Drop support for python < 3.11.
  • Drop support for application/msgpackpandas as msgpack support has been dropped from pandas and this is not a standardized content type.
  • Drop support for ujson.
  • Drop support for ini configuration files.
  • Drop support for shifted results as there is no need for it anymore, first cell is always filled with an up-to-date value.
  • Python update script path is now guessed by add-in, no need to provide the path in configuration anymore.

  • update_services_config script does not allow removing services anymore.
  • update_services_config script does not allow updating services anymore.
  • X-PXL-REQUEST header is not sent anymore to avoid computation and respect a bit more user privacy.
  • X-PXL-SESSION header is not sent anymore to respect a bit more user privacy.
  • rely_on_definitions is not available anymore as it is too slow to be used anyway.
  • install_addin script path_to_up_to_date_configuration parameter has been removed.

  • Authentication related settings (oauth2, api_key, basic, ntlm) are now supposed to be provided within auth configuration section.
  • Display default values for OAuth2 settings in configuration UI.
  • Renamed Microsoft Excel add-in to PyxelRestAddIn.
