Release notes - Synapse Python Client - Version 1.8.0
Install Instructions: pip install --upgrade synapseclient or see http://docs.synapse.org/python/#installation
Documentation: http://docs.synapse.org/python/
Release Date: 7-May-2018
This release has 2 major changes:
-
The client will no longer store your saved credentials in your synapse cache (
~/synapseCache/.session). The python client now relies on keyring to handle credential storage of your Synapse credentials. -
The client also now uses connection pooling, which means that all method calls that connect to Synapse should now be faster.
The remaining changes are bugfixes and cleanup of test code.
