Resources v24.0.0 2022-08-26
============================
New Features
------------
- This package is now available on `PyPI as lsst-resources `_.
- The ``lsst.daf.butler.ButlerURI`` code has been extracted from the ``daf_butler`` package and made into a standalone package. It is now known as `lsst.resources.ResourcePath` and distributed in the ``lsst-resources`` package.
- Add support for Google Cloud Storage access using the ``gs`` URI scheme. (`DM-27355 `_)
- Builds using ``setuptools`` now calculate versions from the Git repository, including the use of alpha releases for those associated with weekly tags. (`DM-32408 `_)
- Add an `open` method that returns a file-like buffer wrapped by a context manager. (`DM-32842 `_)
- Major cleanup of the WebDAV interface:
* Improve client timeout and retries.
* Improve management of persistent connections to avoid exhausting server
resources when there are thousands of simultaneous clients.
* Rename environment variables previously named ``LSST_BUTLER_*`` by:
* ``LSST_HTTP_CACERT_BUNDLE``
* ``LSST_HTTP_AUTH_BEARER_TOKEN``
* ``LSST_HTTP_AUTH_CLIENT_CERT``
* ``LSST_HTTP_AUTH_CLIENT_KEY``
* ``LSST_HTTP_PUT_SEND_EXPECT_HEADER`` (`DM-33769 `_)
Miscellaneous Changes of Minor Interest
---------------------------------------
- Reorganize test code to enhance code reuse and allow new schemes to make use of existing tests. (`DM-33394 `_)
- Attempt to catch 429 Retry client error in S3 interface.
This code is not caught by ``botocore`` itself since it is not part of the AWS standard but Google can generate it. (`DM-33597 `_)
- When walking the local file system symlinks to directories are now followed. (`DM-35446 `_)
