Release 2.4.1

This is the VIRL (CML) Client Library for the CML release 2.4.1. It is functionally equivalent to the bundled version.

What's Changed

• Missing changes from Bitbucket by @rschmied in #11

• SIMPLE-4483 replaced Lab.sync(with_node_configuration) argument with exclude_configurations

• SIMPLE-4496 deprecated multiple Interface methods in favor of better ones
  In Interface:

  • functions that return/expect multiple links replaced with singular versions, originals deprecated
  • deprecated .is_connected() and replaced with .connected
  • deprecated .is_physical and replaced with .physical

• SIMPLE-4389 replaced Lab.get_link_by_interfaces/nodes with Interface/Node.get_link(s)_to, Interface deprecations

  • Deprecated Lab.get_link_by_nodes/interfaces, used IDs instead of objects like the name would suggest
  • Added Node.get_links_to and .get_link_to, these replace get_link_by_nodes
  • Added Lab.get_interface_by_id

  Deprecations in Interface:

  • .links(), was pointlessly looking for multiple links despite one interface only being connected to one link
  • .degree, always 1 or 0, should be bool
  • .is_connected(), was a method instead of a parameter
  • .is_physical, for consistency with is_connected()

  Additions in Interface:

  • .link, replaces .links()
  • .connected, replaces .is_connected() and .degree
  • .physical, replaces .is_physical, to be consistent with .connected
  • .get_link_to(), replaces .get_link_by_interfaces

  Other changes:

  • reordered interface functions
  • first docstring letters capitalized for consistency
  • other minor docstring / syntax fixes

• SIMPLE-4313: update examples in client library docs, remove redundant typing

• SIMPLE-4463: PCL support for node compute ID

Note
For the future, we're moving the development of the PCL to Github, thus eliminating issues with commits and tags by maintaining different remotes / repositories. This should make everything a tad bit smoother.
