Miscellaneous changes in webutil.

v6.1: ### Notable changes

Notable changes

Non-breaking changes:

• IndieAuth:
  • Store access token and refresh token in IndieAuth datastore entities.
• Misc webutil changes.

v6.0: ### Breaking changes

Breaking changes

• Remove webutil.handlers, which was based on the largely unmaintained webapp2. All known clients have migrated to Flask and webutil.flask_util.
• Drop Python 3.6 support. Python 3.7 is now the minimum required version.

Non-breaking changes

• Add new twitter_v2 module for Twitter's new OAuth 2 with PKCE support and v2 API.
• Blogger:
  • Fix bug when user approves the OAuth prompt but has no Blogger blogs. Instead of crashing, we now redirect to the callback with declined=True, which is still wrong, but less bad.
• Mastodon:
  • Change MastodonAuth.access_token_str from ndb TextProperty to StringProperty so that it's indexed in the Datastore.
  • When the callback gets an invalid state parameter, return HTTP 400 instead of raising JSONDecodeError.
• Misc webutil updates.

v5.0

Breaking changes

• Drop Python 3.5 support. Python 3.6 is now the minimum required version.

Non-breaking changes

• Switch from app_server to flask run for local development.
• Add webutil.util.set_user_agent to set User-Agent header to be sent with all HTTP requests.

v4.0: ### Breaking changes

Breaking changes

• Migrate from webapp2 to Flask. webapp2 had a good run, but it's no longer actively developed, and Flask is one of the most widely adopted standalone web framework in the Python community.

• Remove to() class methods. Instead, now pass redirect paths to Flask's as_view() function, eg:

  app = Flask()
  app.add_url_rule('/start', view_func=twitter.Callback.as_view('start', '/oauth_callback'))

• Remove deprecated blogger_v2 module alias.

• webutil: migrate webapp2 HTTP request handlers in the handlers module - XrdOrJrdHandler, HostMetaHandler, and HostMetaXrdsHandler - to Flask views in a new flask_util module.

Non-breaking changes

• webutil: implement Webmention protocol in new webmention module.
• webutil: add misc Flask utilities and helpers in new flask_util module.

v3.1: ### Notable changes

Notable changes

• Add Python 3.8 support, drop 3.3 and 3.4. Python 3.5 is now the minimum required version.
• Add Pixelfed support, heavily based on Mastodon.
• Add Reddit support. Thanks Will Stedden!
• WordPress.com:
  • Handle errors from access token request.

v3.0: ### _Breaking changes_

Breaking changes

• Python 2 is no longer supported! Including the App Engine Standard Python 2 runtime. On the plus side, the Python 3 runtimes, both Standard and Flexible, are now supported.
• Replace handlers.memcache_response(), which used Python 2 App Engine's memcache service, with cache_response(), which uses local runtime memory.
• Remove the handlers.TemplateHandler.USE_APPENGINE_WEBAPP toggle to use Python 2 App Engine's google.appengine.ext.webapp2.template instead of Jinja.
• Blogger:
  • Login is now based on Google Sign-In. The api_from_creds(), creds(), and http() methods have been removed. Use the remaining api() method to get a BloggerClient, or access_token() to make API calls manually.
• Google:
  • Replace GoogleAuth with the new GoogleUser NDB model class, which doesn't depend on the deprecated oauth2client.
  • Drop http() method (which returned an httplib2.Http).
• Mastodon:
  • StartHandler: drop APP_NAME/APP_URL class attributes and app_name/app_url kwargs in the to() method and replace them with new app_name()/app_url() methods that subclasses should override, since they often depend on WSGI environment variables like HTTP_HOST and SERVER_NAME that are available during requests but not at runtime startup.
• webutil:
  • Drop handlers.memcache_response() since the Python 3 runtime doesn't include memcache.
  • Drop handlers.TemplateHandler support for webapp2.template via USE_APPENGINE_WEBAPP, since the Python 3 runtime doesn't include webapp2 built in.
  • Remove cache and fail_cache_time_secs kwargs from util.follow_redirects(). Caching is now built in. You can bypass the cache with follow_redirects.__wrapped__(). Details.

Non-breaking changes

• Add Meetup support. (Thanks Jamie Tanna!)
• Blogger, Google:
  • The state query parameter now works!
• Add new outer_classes kwarg to button_html() for the outer <div>, eg as Bootstrap columns.
• Add new image_file kwarg to StartHandler.button_html()

v2.2: ### Notable changes

Notable changes

• Add LinkedIn and Mastodon!
• Add Python 3.7 support, and improve overall Python 3 compatibility.
• Add new button_html() method to all StartHandler classes. Generates the same button HTML and styling as on oauth-dropins.appspot.com.
• Blogger: rename module from blogger_v2 to blogger. The blogger_v2 module name is still available as an alias, implemented via symlink, but is now deprecated.
• Dropbox: fix crash with unicode header value.
• Google: fix crash when user object doesn't have name field.
• Facebook: upgrade Graph API version from 2.10 to 4.0.
• Update a number of dependencies.
• Switch from Python's built in json module to ujson (built into App Engine) to speed up JSON parsing and encoding.
