CHANGELOG.md

Changelog for egg-mode

[0.14.0] - Unreleased

Changed

• Updated to use std::future::Future,async/await.
  • This is a very breaking change
  • Lots of dependencies updated, most notably tokio 0.2 and hyper 0.13
  • Thanks to @bobtwinkles for the implementation
• Various internal refactorings and simplifications

[0.13.0] - 2019-06-16

Added

• stream module and its contents, for accessing the streaming API
  • filter and sample entry points to access streams
  • StreamBuilder, to configure stream (follow/track/filter_level)
  • FilterLevel, part of StreamBuilder's parameters
  • TwitterStream, the Stream type itself, and StreamMessage, its Item type
• rustls is supported (native-tls is still the default). To use it, modify your Cargo.toml entry:

  egg-mode = { version = "0.13", features = [ "hyper-rustls"], default-features = false }`
  

Changed

• Replaced rustc-serialize with serde, and now all the API types implement Deserialize based on the JSON responses from Twitter.
  • Thanks to @adwhit for the implementation!
• Upgraded native-tls to 0.2, which should link against newer OpenSSL on Linux.
• Upgraded hyper to 0.12, and switched from tokio-core to tokio.
  • Monumentally breaking change: No more Handles! Now all the network calls happen on the tokio runtime via hyper's use of it.
• Tweet now has a filter_level field, given to tweets obtained through streams
• Minor API fixes due to Twitter API changes

[0.12.0] - 2017-12-08

Added

• media module and all its contents, for uploading pictures/video/gifs to Twitter
  • Thanks to @DoumanAsh for the initial implementation!
  • UploadBuilder and UploadFuture, for uploading images, GIFs, and videos to Twitter
  • MediaHandle, a media ID wrapped with a marker of how long it's valid (returned by UploadFuture)
  • UploadError and UploadState, a special wrapper for UploadFuture errors
  • media::media_types, convenience methods to get media types for formats Twitter can support
• New methods on DraftTweet:
  • media_ids to attach media to a tweet
  • possibly_sensitive to mark attached media as "possibly sensitive", giving it a click-through mask when posted

Changed

• TwitterFuture clones the Handle internally, removing its lifetime parameter
• SearchBuilder, UserSearch, and DraftTweet now use Cows instead of plain references internally, allowing for owned data to be passed in to make them 'static
  • As SearchFuture and SearchResult also use the same components as their base SearchBuilder, a 'static SearchBuilder will also create 'static versions of those structs
• CursorIter, direct::Timeline, tweet::Timeline, CachedSearchFuture, and UserSearch now clone the Token that they're handed, instead of keeping a reference, allowing them to be 'static
  • As ConversationFuture holds instances of direct::Timeline, it has also become 'static
• tweet::Timeline's futures now consume the parent Timeline and return it (alongside the chunk of posts) upon success. This is a breaking change

Removed

• The text module has been removed, in favor of a separate egg-mode-text crate
  • This is a breaking change, and the updated egg-mode-text has a different signature for character_count and characters_remaining due to the 280-character update

[0.11.0] - 2017-10-16

Changed

• The Great Async Refactor of 0.11.0
  • egg-mode now uses async i/o!!!
  • This is a massively breaking change!!!
  • All functions that need to contact the network now take a tokio_core::reactor::Handle now, to represent which event loop to run the requests on
  • All functions that need to contact the network now return a new type TwitterFuture, which represents the in-progress request
  • All the iterator wrappers are now Streams
  • In the refactor, invalidate_bearer was changed to panic on receiving non-Bearer tokens, rather than short-circuiting an error.
  • In the refactor, the methods on direct::ConversationTimeline were changed to consume the Timeline and return it at the end of a successful load.
  • There's a new variant of Error, FutureAlreadyCompleted, for when a Future was polled after it already returned a value. This is a breaking change if you were exhaustively matching on Error before.
• Several dependencies have been updated
  • Notably, the type for all the timestamps was renamed, since chrono changed it from UTC to Utc
• Tokens and KeyPairs are now always 'static. Only string literals and owned strings from now on.
  • This is a breaking change if you were using short-lived Tokens with &strs in them - clone or .to_owned() the Strings when you hand them to the KeyPair, please.

[0.10.0] = 2017-08-08

0.10.0 is a quick patch to change out my dependencies: ring has been removed, in favor of hmac and sha1, which were the only operations i needed from it. This should solve any linker errors when multiple versions of ring are in the same tree, by removing one instance of ring entirely.

[0.9.0] - 2017-06-23

Changed

• The library is now licensed under the Mozilla Public License, 2.0.
• tweet::lookup, tweet::lookup_map, user::lookup, and user::relation_lookup now all take IntoIterators instead of slices.
  • Only a breaking change if something that coerces into a slice doesn't also impl IntoIterator<Item=&'a T>. As Vecs and slices already do this, the common cases are source-compatible.
• user::UserID is Copy now. It was originally Clone to support the From<&UserID> for UserID impl, but all the elements inside were Copy anyway, so it makes sense to add it there.
• A bunch of structs and enums now impl Clone, and a few also now impl Copy, where applicable.

Added

• Added module list with List and ListID structs
  • Thanks to @jkarns275 for the initial implementation!
  • New function show to pull up information for a single list
  • New function ownerships to pull up lists created by a given user
  • New function subscriptions to pull up lists a given user is following that they didn't make themselves
  • New function list to pull up the combination of ownerships and subscriptions, up to 100 entries
  • New function members to pull up the users included in a given list
  • New function memberships to pull up lists the given user has been added to
  • New function is_member to check whether a given user has been included in a given list
  • New function statuses to load the tweets posted by the members of a given list
  • New function subscribers to pull up the users subscribed to a given list
  • New function is_subscribed to check whether a given user is subscribed to a given list
  • New function add_member to add a user to a list
  • New function create to create a new list
  • New function delete to delete a list
  • New function remove_member to remove a member from a list
  • New function subscribe to subscribe to a list
  • New function unsubscribe to unsubscribe from a list
  • New function add_member_list to add multiple users to a list
  • New function remove_member_list to remove multiple users from a list
  • New function update to update the name/visibility/description of an already-existing list
• New enum service::ListMethod and list field in service::RateLimitStatus to contain the rate limit info for these methods

[0.8.1] - 2017-05-18

0.8.1 is a quick patch to update to *ring* version 0.9.4, to prevent linking issues when used with *ring* 0.9.x.

[0.8.0] - 2017-01-30

Added

• New authentication functions bearer_token and invalidate_bearer, to perform Application-only authentication
• New function direct::conversations and related structs ConversationTimeline and DMConversations to load direct messages as a pre-sorted set of conversation threads

Changed

• The Great Token Refactor of 0.8
  • Rather than forcing consumers of the library to handle their consumer token and access token separately, the key/token pairs have been renamed to KeyPair while the Token struct has been turned into an enum that contains the two KeyPairs necessary to authenticate to Twitter.
  • Every function that connects to twitter no longer takes the consumer token and access token separately, instead taking the new Token enum to authenticate.
  • The access_token function now returns the Token enum which includes the newly-minted access token, in addition to consuming the consumer token given to it.
  • KeyPair and Token implement Clone, so the consumer token can be cloned when given to access_token if multiple account support is necessary.
  • All of the above amounts to an enormous breaking change, for which I must apologize. It's this way so I can support application-only authentication. Hopefully the loss of extra text for all those function calls can make up for it.
• Quality-of-life changes to various structs, all of which are breaking changes, semantically if not syntactically:
  • Tweet::display_text_range is now Option<(usize, usize)> and counts byte offsets instead of character indices
  • All IDs used in any API struct are now u64, except for cursor IDs, since they need to be able to be -1
  • All indices for Entity structs are now called range, are now (usize, usize), and refer to byte offsets instead of codepoint offsets
• user::lookup_ids and user::lookup_names, which were deprecated in 0.4.0, have been removed, in favor of user::lookup
  • This is a breaking change
• Updated hyper to 0.10 and added hyper-native-tls for TLS connections to Twitter
  • This should allow for much easier building on Windows now!

[0.7.0] - 2016-11-30

Added

• New iterator structs ResponseIterRef and ResponseIterMut to iterate over references in a response
• New module text to handle entity extraction and character count of arbitrary text
  • New function url_entities to parse URLs from given text
  • New function character_count to count characters in the given text after accounting for URL shortening
  • New function characters_remaining to provide a convenience method for displaying the number of characters remaining in a 140-character tweet after including the given text
  • New function mention_list_entities to parse user and list mentions from given text
  • New function mention_entities to parse just user mentions from given text
  • New function hashtag_entities to parse just hashtags from given text
  • New function symbol_entities to parse just cashtags from given text
  • New function reply_mention_entity to parse a screen name if the given text is a reply
  • New function entities to parse out all of the above

Changed

• Place::contained_within is now a Option<Vec<Place>>, because I had the wrong type for that before
  • This is a breaking change if you were examining that field as a single location before
• Struct fields which are optional now only return None for their absence, instead of absorbing all their errors
  • This led to the following two changes:
• Tweet::user is now optional
  • Twitter stopped returning users for the tweet in TwitterUser::status, so that field is optional now
  • This is a breaking change
• Tweet::coordinates is now properly parsed

[0.6.0] - 2016-10-20

Added

• New module direct and DirectMessage/DMEntities structs
  • New function to load a single direct message (show)
  • New function to load DMs received by the authenticated user (received)

  • New function terms to load the Terms of Service
  • New function privacy to load the Privacy Policy
  • New function config to load broad service-level configuration elements
  • New function rate_limit_status to load current rate-limit information for most methods

Changed

• All created_at timestamps are now parsed through chrono
  • This is a notable breaking change if you were handling this parsing yourself
• tweet::source is now a new TweetSource struct and no longer an HTML String
  • This is a notable breaking change if you were parsing this yourself
• Response<T> now implements Deref, so you don't have to use .response all the time

[0.5.0] - 2016-10-02

Added

• New methods on SearchBuilder to constrain initial searches to be before or after given tweet IDs
• New module place and Place struct
• New function to load a single place from ID (show)
• New functions to load a list of places from a specific latitude/longitude (reverse_geocode, reverse_geocode_url)

Changed

• Fields on DraftTweet are public to facilitate UI for long-term draft storage
• DraftTweet's coordinates are now f64 instead of f32
  • This is a breaking change if you had f32 bindings for this purpose
• New error enum, BadUrl, telling you that you passed a bad URL to reverse_geocode_url or search_url
  • This is a breaking change if you were matching on the error types before
• Made tweet::Timeline::new() and user::UserSearch::new() non-public
  • This is a breaking change if you were using these functions instead of any of the real initializers
• Added fields coordinates and place to the Tweet structure
• Made tweet loading functions request and parse extended tweets
• Added fields display_text_range and truncated to the Tweet structure
• Added fields and methods auto_populate_reply_metadata, exclude_reply_user_ids, and attachment_url to the DraftTweet structure

• New functions to like and un-like statuses (like, unlike)
• New struct DraftTweet to handle assembling new statuses to post
• New function to delete a given tweet (delete)

Changed

• Moved UserID into the user module
  • This is a breaking change if you used the type directly (like in the lookup example)
• Changed the signature of user::relation_lookup to match user::lookup
• New field in user::TwitterUser: status
• New error enum, RateLimit(i32), telling you that you hit your rate limit and when it will lapse
  • This is a breaking change if you were exhaustively matching on these before
• Introduce a type alias WebResponse for Result<Response<T>, Error> which was everywhere
• Error::InvalidResponse now contains information about where in the code the error occurred
  • This is a breaking change if you were matching on the error types before

[0.3.0] - 2016-08-19

Added

• New functions to block/unblock users (block, unblock, report_spam)
• New functions to mute/unmute users (mute, unmute)

Changed

• Combined IDLoader and UserLoader into CursorIter (with the same interface)
  • This is a breaking change if you assigned these results to variables with explicit types
  • (If you merely used them as iterators or didn't explicitly declare their type, the interface is the same)
• Moved TwitterErrors and TwitterErrorCode into the error module
• Moved Cursor, CursorIter, UserCursor, IDCursor into a separate module
  • This is a breaking change if you used these types directly
  • (If you merely used the iterators and skipped straight to the users/IDs being returned, the interface is the same)

[0.2.0] - 2016-08-08

Added

• Entity structs, so you can parse URL's from user bios (and from tweets in the future)
