hvac 2.0.0

v2.0.0

on Python PyPI

This release makes a number of breaking changes. Most notably, dropping support for Python 3.6 & 3.7, dropping support for Vault versions 1.6.x through 1.10.x, and removing previously deprecated methods and code paths. Most of the other breaking changes are fairly minor or only affect specific use cases, but please review all changes carefully.

There are also several other deprecations and announcements to be aware of. We hope to have a more rapid release schedule going forward.

In accordance with our supported Python version policy we will continue to drop Python versions as they become end-of-life. These may not be announced in advance, but will be done in major versions.
