This release of the BlueCat Python Library has the folowing changes.

Entity export API wrapper

The new API wrapper export_entities supports the export of objects or entity details for general use.

API support for High Availability of BDDS

When using the following API wrappers to request properties from a BDDS server, you can now use the optional include_ha parameter to specifically include or exclude High Availability (xHA) information. Previously, xHA information was always included; excluding this information can improve response times.
  • custom_search
  • get_entities
  • get_entities_by_name
  • get_entities_by_name_using_options
  • get_linked_entities
  • get_entity_by_id
  • get_entity_by_name
  • get_parent
  • search_by_category
  • search_by_object_types

Dynamic deployment API support

The following API wrappers can now optionally indicate whether a user or group can perform a selective deployment of data to a managed server, dynamically deploying appropriately-tagged resource records with the dynamicUpdate parameter enabled:
  • add_access_right
  • update_access_right
  • add_zone

UDL management API support

You can now update a UDL link description when using the following API wrappers:
  • add_user_defined_link
  • update_user_defined_link
  • link_entities_ex
  • unlink_entities_ex

Encrypted communication API support

The following functions now let you optionally specify whether server communications are encrypted:
  • add_server
  • replace_server

Improved API security

When HTTPS and HTTP are not specified in a URL, the API client now assumes HTTPS by default.
