New Modules

Enhancements

Fixed

  • Let config method to raise ConnectionError exception (198)

    The fix ensures that the behavior is consistent with other methods.

  • Fixed parsing of VLAN groupings by vlans.getall() (200)

    The fix allows handling a case when multiple VLANs in the configs may be grouped under a common (group) name.

  • Enhanced vlans.get() to return an actual list of VLANs (202)

    The method used to return the argument itself (e.g., an RE: 200-.*), now the actual list of matched VLANs is returned

  • Fixed a corner crash in portsVlans.getall() (213)

    The crash may occur when the switchport is configured with a VLAN profile

  • Improved switchports.getall() behavior (216)

    The method will not consider subinterfaces anymore

  • Improved JSON parsing speed (166)

    User may improve the speed by using ujson or rapidjson modules. The standard json is used as a fallback.

  • Allow user to specify an SSL context (234)

    Provided the argument option context to specify an SSL context in connection() method.

  • Fixed user password vulnerability in tracebacks (238)

    A user password is exposed in a traceback, which could occur due to invalid credentials.

  • Added support for login password exclusively for ssh-key authentication (227)

    Catching up with EOS CLI which already supports such login password.

  • Fixed user password vulnerability in debugs (242)

    A user password was exposed in user enabled debugs. With this commit the user password is masked out now.

  • Added option not to include config defaults (221)

    Reading running-config or startup-config with default values is not always a desirable behavior. This commit adds an option to control such behavior.

  • Fixed a corner crash in ipinterfaces module (210)

    Fixed a crash when MTU value is not present in the interface configuration (this is rather a corner case condition).

  • Fixed a bug where vxlan floodlist might return a bogus data (193)

    Fixed the issue with interfaces module, where get() method returned vxlan data structure with flood_list parsed incorrectly.

  • Improved performance of config parsing (220)

    Drastically improved perfromance of config parsing by cacheing section splitting results. This fix also tightens the prior relaxed section match behavior by allowing matching only section line (as vs entire section’s content)

  • Enhanced PR (220) allowing to match sub-sections (245)

    After PR #220, matching subsections was impossible (only entire section could have been matched). This enhancement brings back such functionality.

  • Added support for a session based authentication (203)

    Added a couple new transport options (http_session and https_session) to connect() method to support a session based authentication.

  • Added support infrastructure to handle deprecated EOS CLI (247)

    The added CliVariants class helps managing transitions from deprecated EOS CLI (by allowing specifying both, new and deprecated CLI variants).

  • Added support for parsing secondary ip addresses (251)

    The added fix extends the return result for get() method of ipinterfaces module with the parsed secondary ip addresses (if present).

  • A minor fix to include internal exception handling (252)

    With this fix the pyeapi.eapilib.CommandError exception will elaborate on the causes of internal errors.

  • Enhance parsing of BGP router section with asdot notation (256)

    Allow matching and parsing router bgp sections if spelled with asdot notation.

  • removed and updated deprecations (204, 212, 235, 260, 262, 263)

  • documentation fixes and updates (209, 225, 239, 257, 259)
