1Release 4.15 (release date: 2015-09-08)
2=======================================
3Bug Fixes
4---------
5- Fixed an OverflowError in apitools that caused download
6  failures for large files on 32-bit machines.
7- Removed unnecessary sending of range headers for downloads when
8  using the XML API.
9- Fixed a bug that caused perfdiag to report extremely high throughput
10  when the -p flag was unspecified and exactly one of the -c or -k flags
11  were specified.
12- Fixed a ValueError that occurred on Python 2.6 with sliced object downloads.
13
14Other Changes
15-------------
16- HTTP connections for downloads and uploads in the JSON API are now
17  re-used per-thread.
18- When gsutil's automatic update feature prompts and the user
19  chooses to update, gsutil will now exit with status code 1 after
20  updating (because the original command was not executed).
21- The cp -A flag is disabled when using gsutil -m to ensure that
22  ordering is preserved when copying between versioned buckets.
23
24Release 4.14 (release date: 2015-08-24)
25=======================================
26New Features
27------------
28- Implemented Sliced Object Download feature.
29  This breaks up a single large object into multiple pieces and
30  downloads them in parallel, improving performance. The gsutil cp, mv
31  and rsync commands now use this by default when compiled crcmod
32  is available for performing fast end-to-end integrity checks.
33  If compiled crcmod is not available, normal object download will
34  be used. Sliced download can be used in conjunction with the global -m
35  flag for maximum performance to download multiple objects in
36  parallel while additionally slicing each object.
37  See the "SLICED OBJECT DOWNLOAD" section of "gsutil help cp" for
38  details.
39  Note: sliced download may cause performance degradation for disks
40  with very slow seek times. You can disable this feature by setting
41  sliced_object_download_threshold = 0 in your .boto configuration file.
42- Added rthru_file and wthru_file test modes to perfdiag, allowing
43  measurement of reads and writes from a disk. This also allows
44  measurement of transferring objects too large to fit in memory.
45  The size restriction of 20GiB has been lifted.
46- perfdiag now supports a -p flag to choose a parallelism strategy
47  (slice, fan, or both) when using multiple threads and/or processes.
48
49Bug Fixes
50---------
51- Fixed an IOError that could occur in apitools when acquiring credentials
52  using multiple threads and/or processes on Google Compute Engine.
53- Fixed a bug where rm -r would attempt to delete a nonexistent bucket.
54- Fixed a bug where a default object ACL could not be set or changed to empty.
55- Fixed a bug where cached credentials corresponding to an old account could
56  be used (for example, credentials associated with a prior .boto
57  configuration file).
58- Fixed a bug in apitools for retrieving byte ranges of size 1 (for example,
59  "cat -r 1-1 ...")
60- Fixed a bug that caused the main gsutil process to perform all work leaving
61  all gsutil child processes idle.
62- Fixed a bug that caused multiple threads not to be used when
63  multiprocessing was unavailable.
64- Fixed a bug that caused rsync to skip files that start with "." when the
65  -r option was not used.
66- Fixed a bug that caused rsync -C to bail out when it failed to read
67  a source file.
68- Fixed a bug where gsutil stat printed unwanted output to stderr.
69- Fixed a bug where a parallel composite upload could return a nonzero exit
70  code even though the upload completed successfully. This occurred if
71  temporary component deletion triggered a retry but the original request
72  succeeded.
73- Fixed a bug where gsutil would exit with code 0 when both running in
74  debug mode and encountering an unhandled exception.
75- Fixed a bug where gsutil would suggest using parallel composite uploads
76  multiple times.
77
78Other Changes
79-------------
80- Bucket removal is now supported even if billing is disabled for that bucket.
81- Refactored Windows installs to no longer use any multiprocessing module
82  functions, as gsutil has never supported multiple processes on Windows.
83  Multithreading is unaffected and still available on Windows.
84- All downloads are now written to a temporary file with a "_.gstmp" suffix
85  while the download is still in progress.
86- Re-hashing of existing bytes when resuming downloads now displays progress.
87- Reduced the total number of multiprocessing.Manager processes to two.
88- The rm command now correctly counts the number of objects that could
89  not be removed.
90- Increased the default retries to match the Google Cloud Storage SLA.
91  By default, gsutil will now retry 23 times with exponential backoff up
92  to 32 seconds, for a total timespan of ~10 minutes.
93- Improved bucket subdirectory checks to a single HTTP call. Detection of
94  _$folder$ placeholder objects is now eventually consistent.
95- Eliminated two unnecessary HTTP calls when performing uploads via
96  the cp, mv, or rsync commands.
97- Updated documentation for several topics including acl, cache-control,
98  crcmod, cp, mb, rsync, and subdirs.
99- Added a warning about using parallel composite upload with NEARLINE
100  storage-class buckets.
101
102Release 4.13 (release date: 2015-06-03)
103=======================================
104New Features
105------------
106- Added -U flag to cp and rsync commands to allow skipping of unsupported
107  object types.
108- Added support for Google Developer Shell credentials.
109
110Bug Fixes
111---------
112- Precondition headers (x-goog-if-...) are now respected for the setmeta
113  command.
114- Fixed an index out of range error that could occur with an empty
115  parallel composite upload tracker file.
116- The stat command outputs errors to stderr instead of stdout.
117- Fixed two possible sources of ResumableUploadStartOverException from
118  httplib2 and oauth2client.
119- Fixed a bug in the compose command where a missing source object resulted
120  in an error message claiming the destination object was missing.
121
122Other Changes
123-------------
124- Added a help section on throttling gsutil.
125- Resumable uploads will now start over if a PUT to the upload ID returns
126  an HTTP 404. Previously this behavior applied only to an HTTP 410.
127- XML API resumable uploads now retry on HTTP 429 errors, matching the
128  behavior of JSON API resumable uploads.
129- Improved response to process kill signals, reducing the likelihood of
130  leaving orphaned child processes and temporary files.
131- Bucket lifecycle configuration now works for S3.
132- Removed the deprecated setmeta -n option.
133
134
135Release 4.12 (release date: 2015-04-20)
136=======================================
137New Features
138------------
139- Added support for JSON-format service account private key files.
140- Added support for the Rewrite API (JSON API only). This is used for
141  all copies within the Google Cloud and supports copying objects across
142  storage classes and/or locations.
143
144Bug Fixes
145---------
146- Fixed a bug that could cause downloads to have a hash mismatch (and deletion
147  of the corrupted file) when resumed across process breaks via a tracker file.
148
149Other Changes
150-------------
151- Updated documentation and examples for several topics including
152  acl, cp, dev, signurl, stat, and wildcards.
153
154

158------------
159- Added Nearline storage class support to the mb command.
160
161Bug Fixes
162---------
163- Fixed a bug for streaming uploads that could occasionally cause a HTTP 410
164  from the service or a hash mismatch (and deletion of the corrutped file).
165- Fixed an OverflowError that occurred when uploading files > 4GiB on a 32-bit
166  operating system.
167
168Other Changes
169-------------
170- Added documentation around using the Content-MD5 header to extend integrity
171  checking to include checksums computed by a client-side content pipeline.
172
173
174Release 4.10 (release date: 2015-03-03)
175=======================================
176Bug Fixes
177---------
178- Fixed a bug that could cause undetected data corruption (preserving incorrect
179  data) if a streaming upload encountered a service error on non-8KiB-aligned
180  boundary.
181- Fixed a bug that caused downloads to be truncated if the connection broke,
182  resulting in a hash mismatch (and deletion of the corrupted file) for that
183  download.
184- Fixed a format string arguments error that occurred if a download exhausted
185  all retries.
186
187Other Changes
188-------------
189- The lifecycle command now accepts JSON input in the form of
190  "{ "lifecycle": { "rule" ..." in addition to "{ "rule": ...".
191- Improved access token expiry logic for GCE credentials.
192
193
194Release 4.9 (release date: 2015-02-13)
195=======================================
196New Features
197------------
198- When using the JSON API, the ch acl/defacl subcommand now supports
199  project groups via the -p flag. For details, see "gsutil help acl ch".
200
201Bug Fixes
202---------
203- Fixed a bug that caused daisy-chain copies (including cross-provider
204  copies) for files large than 100MiB to fail.
205- Fixed a bug that caused streaming uploads than ran for longer than
206  an hour to fail with HTTP 400s.
207- Fixed a bug where perfdiag would not properly clean up its test files.
208- Fixed a bug where using ls with the XML API could mistakenly report bucket
209  configuration as present.
210
211Other Changes
212-------------
213- Updated documentation for metadata, retries, security, and subdirs.
214- Tracker files are no longer written for small downloads.
215
216
217Release 4.8 (release date: 2015-01-23)
218=======================================
219New Features
220------------
221- gsutil now supports HTTP proxy configuration via the http_proxy,
222  https_proxy, or HTTPS_PROXY environment variables. This configuration
223  is used only if proxy configuration is not present in the .boto
224  configuration file.
225- gsutil rsync now supports regex-based source and destination URL
226  exclusion via the -x flag.
227- The rm command now supports arguments on stdin via the -I flag.
228
229Bug Fixes
230---------
231- Fixed a bug where perfdiag would fail if netstat was not available.
232- Fixed a bug where temporary ca_certs files were not being cleaned up.
233- Fixed a bug in rsync to unnecessarily remove or write objects, in some
234  cases leaving the destination in a non-synchronized state.
235  caused rsync to unnecessarily remove or rewrite objects.
236- Fixed a bug where rsync temporary listing files were not being
237  cleaned up when the rsync process was killed.
238- Fixed a bug where rsync would remove destination URLs if listing the
239  source encountered a non-retryable failure (for example, if the source
240  did not exist).
241- Fixed a bug where mv would fail for some Unicode filenames.
242- Fixed a bug where mv would remove the source URL after skipping the
243  destination URL.
244- Fixed a bug that caused daisy chain uploads to hang if the download thread
245  raised an exception.
246- Fixed a bug where acl ch would return a zero exit code even if it failed.
247- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the progress display to render multiple
248  times at the end of an upload or download.
249
250Other Changes
251-------------
252- Resumable uploads of files using the JSON API now send their data in a
253  single request, making separate HTTP calls only when resuming is necessary.
254- The test command now runs tests in parallel by default, and test
255  parallelism on Windows is now supported.
256- All non-streaming downloads are now resumable (and retryable) by default,
257  regardless of size.
258- Canned ACLs and canned default object ACLs are now supported in the JSON
259  API (previously they would fall back to using the XML API).
260- Google Compute Engine service account credential tokens are now cached,
261  avoiding unnecessary refreshes.
262- Improved detection of the Google Compute Engine metadata server,
263  particularly when using the -m flag for multiprocessing.
264- Added new help sections about filename encoding and security/privacy
265  considerations.
266- Download progress is now displayed for small XML API downloads.
267
268
269Release 4.7 (release date: 2014-11-17)
270=======================================
271New Features
272------------
273- Tab completion now works on gs:// URLs (for Cloud SDK installs only).
274  To install via Cloud SDK, see https://cloud.google.com/sdk/#Quick_Start
275- Streaming uploads (with source URL "-") using the JSON API now buffer
276  in-memory up to 100MB, allowing large streams to be retried in the event
277  of network flakiness or service errors.
278- Resumable uploads that receive a fatal service error (typically a 410)
279  are now automatically retried from the beginning.
280
281Bug Fixes
282---------
283- Fixed an apitools bug that impacted upload performance and caused
284  "Retrying from byte __ after exception" to print after every 100MiB.
285- Fixed _$folder$ placeholder object detection on versioned buckets.
286- Removed an unnecessary credential check on load which increased
287  startup time by over one second in some cases.
288- SignURL now properly retries when checking if the signed object is
289  readable.
290- Files with both Content-Encoding and Content-Type gzip are now properly
291  removed when hash validation fails (only one of the two should be set).
292- The x-goog-if-generation-match:0 header now works properly with the XML API.
293- Fixed a bug that caused "defacl ch" on a bucket with a private ACL to fail.
294- The rm command now properly supports precondition headers.
295- Fixed a bug that caused large streaming uploads to fail with the message
296  "Failure: length too large" when using the JSON API.
297- Fixed a bug that caused JSON lifecycle configurations with createdBefore
298  conditions to fail with a DecodeError.
299
300Other Changes
301-------------
302- Byte counts now display accurate abbreviations of binary sizing. For example,
303  messages previously labeled MB are now properly labeled MiB to indicate
304  2**20 bytes. Only the labeling changed - the actual sizes were always binary.
305- Improved Cloud SDK integration, including improved error messages
306  and instructions.
307- The num_retries .boto configuration value now applies to all requests
308  (previously it was ignored for JSON API requests).
309- rsync now works with non-existent destination subdirectories.
310- Raised the default resumable upload threshold from 2MB to 8MB to
311  improve performance.
312- Benign retry messages now print only when debug mode is enabled via the
313  top-level -d flag.
314- The top-level -q flag now suppresses suggestions to use the -m flag.
315- Command synopsis is now output when the wrong number of arguments are
316  provided.
317- Removed dependency on google-api-python-client module, added dependencies on
318  oauth2client and six modules.
319
320Release 4.6 (release date: 2014-09-08)
321=======================================
322
323Bug Fixes
324---------
325- Fixed a TypeError bug that occurred in perfdiag write throughput tests.
326- Fixed an rsync bug that caused invalid symlinks to abort the transfer
327  even when -e option was specified.
328- Fixed a perfdiag assumption that ipaddrlist was populated.
329- Fixed an AttributeError when setting an invalid canned ACL with defacl set.
330- Fixed a bug where non-resumable uploads would include payload in debug output
331  when for running in debug mode (-D).
332
333Other Changes
334-------------
335- Added the proxy_rdns configuration variable for clients that
336  do DNS lookups via a proxy.
337- Added the state_dir configuration variable for choosing the location of
338  gsutil's internal state files, including resumable transfer tracker files.
339  resumable_tracker_dir configuration variable is now deprecated.
340- Added DNS, connection latency, and proxy use information to perfdiag
341  command.
342- perfdiag command will not perform DNS lookups if they are disabled in
343  boto config.
344- perfdiag command will now only attempt to delete uploaded objects when
345  running write tests.
346- Added code coverage support to test command.
347- rsync -d now succeeds on a 404 for a to-be-deleted object (for example, when
348  the object was already deleted by an external process).
349
350Release 4.5 (release date: 2014-08-14)
351=======================================
352
353Bug Fixes
354---------
355- Fixed a bug that caused resumable uploads to restart if gsutil was
356  terminated with CTRL-C.
357- Fixed a bug in defacl ch command that caused a failure when updating
358  an existing default object ACL entry.
359- Fixed an invalid literal bug during rsync file listing.
360- Made several improvements to JSON upload stability, including fixing a bug
361  which occasionally caused resumable upload hashes not to catch up properly.
362- All JSON calls now have socket timeouts, eliminating hangs under
363  flaky network conditions.
364- Fixed a bug where acl ch -g AllAuthenticatedUsers would instead add
365  AllUsers.
366- Fixed a bug that caused object custom metadata not to be preserved when
367  copying in the cloud.
368- Fixed a bug where du -s did not properly elide subdirectories.
369
370Other Changes
371-------------
372- Parallel composite uploads are now disabled by default until crcmod is
373  available in major Linux distributions. To re-enable the setting from
374  prior versions, in the [GSUtil] section of your .boto config file, add:
375  parallel_composite_upload_threshold=150M
376- Non-wildcarded URLs for existing objects now use Get before trying List
377  (as in gsutil3), and thus are not subject to eventual listing consistency.
378- gsutil -D now redacts proxy configuration values in the output.
379
380Release 4.4 (release date: 2014-07-17)
381=======================================
382
383New Features
384------------
385- Added the hash command, which can calculate hashes of local files.
386  gsutil already calculates hashes for integrity checking, but this allows
387  the user to separately calculate the MD5 and CRC32c hashes of a local file.
388
389Bug Fixes
390---------
391- Many improvements to JSON API media transfers, including far
392  more robust retry logic.
393- Fixed "File changed during upload: EOF..." errors on XML resumable uploads.
394- Fixed rsync command to read and write index files in binary mode.
395- Fix potential TypeError in _CheckAndHandleCredentialException.
396- Fixed possible data corruption when using JSON API uploads for
397  small files with lines starting with "From:", which would cause
398  integrity checks to fail.
399- Fixed gsutil cp to skip directory placeholders when downloading, avoiding
400  "directory exists where the file needs to be created" errors.
401- Fixed daisy chain cp/rsync for files >= 100MB.
402- Fixed a bug in JSON proxy support where the proxy info was sometimes unused.
403- Fixed a bug where an acl get on a private default object ACL returned an
404  error instead of a blank ACL.
405- Fixed a JSON API issue with large HTTP responses on 32-bit systems.
406
407Other Changes
408-------------
409- Improved object listing performance when using the XML API.
410- Improved various error messages.
411- Improved progress display during media transfer.
412- Switched to truncated exponential backoff for retries.
413- Improved OS-specific ulimit checks.
414- Added some information such as OS and Cloud SDK wrapping to gsutil version,
415  and changed the output format to be more uniform.
416- Daisy chain cp/rsync now supports resumable uploads.
417- Improved proxy support for proxy username and passwords.
418- x-amz headers are now supported for cp, rsync, and setmeta.  x-amz-meta
419  headers continue to be supported as well.
420
421Release 4.3 (release date: 2014-06-10)
422=======================================
423
424Bug Fixes
425---------
426- Fix acl/defacl ch changing the role of an existing group.
427- Fix unicode and 404 errors when using manifests.
428- Fix parallelism configuration bug that limited gsutil rsync to two threads
429  and could lead to rsync hangs. "gsutil -m rsync" runs much faster, and rsync
430  uploads of large local files are now faster via parallel composite upload.
431  Parallel composite uploads of large files are also faster.
432- Fix rsync bug with parallel composite uploads.
433- Fix TypeError that could occur when running the cp command with no
434  credentials.
435
436Other Changes
437-------------
438- Progress indicators for -m cp/rsync commands are now more readable.
439- Added command being run to gsutil -d/-D output.
440- Lowered default parallelism for 'gsutil -m test' and added hang detection.
441
442Release 4.2 (release date: 2014-06-05)
443=======================================
444
445New Features
446------------
447- Added parallel test execution support to test command, ex: "gsutil -m test"
448
449Bug Fixes
450---------
451- Fix failure during retry of an XML download.
452- Moved to boto release 2.29.1 fixing boto authentication erroneously
453  reporting OAuth2 credentials as invalid.
454- Fix parallel composite uploads when using only a single process and thread.
455- Fix an invalid seek during daisy chain operation that affected file copy
456  from Google Cloud Storage -> S3 for files greater than 8KB in size.
457- Fix "gsutil acl ch" with AllUsers or AllAuthenticatedUsers groups.
458- Fix some copy errors writing new lines to the manifest file.
459- Fix "gsutil test" return code to properly be 0 on success.
460
461Other Changes
462-------------
463- "gsutil cp -z" now ignores whitespace in the extension list.
464
465Release 4.1 (release date: 2014-05-28)
466=======================================
467
468Bug Fixes
469---------
470- Fixed a bug in parallel composite uploads where uploads with
471  existing components would fail.
472- Moved gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin to version 1.5, fixing a bug in the PyPi gsutil
473  distribution that would cause gsutil to unnecessarily attempt to query
474  the Google Compute Engine metadata service.
475
476Other Changes
477-------------
478- Parallel composite uploads no longer specify an if-not-match precondition
479  when uploading component parts.
480- Parallel composite uploads no longer calculate a CRC32c hash prior to
481  uploading component parts (these are still validated by an MD5 hash).
482- Removed apitools dependency on gflags.
483
484Release 4.0 (release date: 2014-05-27)
485=======================================
486
487Major New Gsutil Version - Backwards-Incompatible Changes
488------------------------------
489- The Google Cloud Storage configuration data supported by the acl, cors,
490  and lifecycle commands now uses the JSON format instead of the older XML
491  format. gsutil 4.0 will fail and provide conversion instructions if an XML
492  configuration file is provided as an argument for a gs:// URL.
493- gsutil no longer accepts arbitrary headers via the global -h flag.
494  Documented headers for gsutil commands are still supported; for the
495  full list of supported headers, see "gsutil help command_opts".
496- The compose command will now default the destination object's
497  Content-Type to the Content-Type of the first source object if none
498  is provided via the -h global flag.
499- The long-deprecated -t and -q options have been removed from the cp command.
500- The perfdiag command no longer supports adding a host header.
501- Having OAuth2 User Account credentials and OAuth2 Service Account
502  credentials configured simultaneously will now fail with an error message
503  to avoid confusion.  Also, a single invalid credential will fail with an
504  error message.  See "gsutil help creds" for details.
505- Bucket relocate scripts have been removed.
506- Downloading object names ending with '/' is no longer supported to avoid
507  problems this caused for directores using the Google Cloud Console.
508- rm -r now implies rm -ra (removing all object versions recursively).
509- All commands using the global -m option or a force option (such as
510  rm -f or cp -c) will now return a non-zero exit code if there are any
511  failures during the operation.
512- MD5 and CRC32c values are now represented in base64 encoding instead
513  of hex encoding (this includes manifest files).
514
515New Features
516------------
517- The Google Cloud Storage JSON API (v1) is now the default API used
518  by gsutil for all commands targeting gs:// URLs. The JSON API is more
519  bandwidth efficient than the older XML API when transferring metadata
520  and does not require separate calls to preserve object ACLs when copying.
521  The XML API will automatically be used when accessing s3:// URLs.
522- The Google Cloud Storage XML API can be used in lieu of the JSON API
523  by setting 'prefer_api = xml' in the GSUtil section of your boto config file.

531Other Changes
532-------------
533- All python files not under a third_party directory are now pylint-clean,
534  with the exception of TODO-format and a handful of warnings in root-level
535  files. As part of the de-linting process, many edge-case bugs were
536  identified and fixed.
537- The ls command now operates depth-first (as in Unix ls) instead
538  of breadth-first.

720- Added .git* to MANIFEST.in excludes and fixed cp doc typo. This was needed to
721  overcome problem caused by accidental inclusion of .git* files in release,

750
751Other Changes
752-------------
753
754- Improved flow when encounter auth failure for GCE service account with no
755  configured storage scopes:
756    1. Changed HasConfiguredCredentials() logic not to include
757       has_auth_plugins as part of the evaluated expression, since that will
758       always evaluate to true under GCE (since GCE configures its internal
759       service account plugin under /etc/boto.cfg).
760    2. Changed ConfigureNoOpAuthIfNeeded logic so we configure no-op auth
761       plugin even if there is a config_file list, since GCE always configures
762       /etc/boto.cfg, even if user has no storage scopes configured.
763    3. Additional changes:
764      a. Removed assertion of oauth access token cache check log from
765         test_Doption.py, which may not be true sometimes (e.g., if user is
766         using HMAC creds).
767      b. Removed remnants of CONFIG_REQUIRED left over from earlier CL.
768      c. Merged dupe _ConfigureNoOpAuthIfNeeded functions from two code files,
769         moved to util.py.
770- Fixed confusing gsutil rm "Omitting" message.
771- Wrapped long gsutil update message.
772- Silenced additional possible perfdiag errors.
773- Improved perfdiag performance by only generating one chunk of random file.
774- Changed to swallow broken pipe errors when piping gsutil to other programs.
775- Made DotfulBucketNameNotUnderTld error message more user friendly.
776- Extracted function for building ACL error text from main try/except loop,
777  for better readability.
778- Disallowed gsutil update when user data present in gsutil dir.
779- Plumbed accept-encoding into HEAD requests in ls -L command.
780- Updated README and moved ReleaseNotes.txt to CHANGES.md.

784  containing ':')
785- Added tests for gsutil update check and fixed bug for bad file contents.
786- Set accept-encoding and handle gzip on-the-fly encoding.

952New Features
953------------
954
955- Added support for object composition.
956- Added support for external service accounts.
957- Changed gsutil to check for available updates periodically (only while
958  stdin, stderr, stdout are connected to a TTY, so as not to interfere with
959  cron jobs).
960- Added chdefacl command.
961- Made gsutil built-in help available under

1007
1008Bug Fixes
1009---------
1010
1011- Fixed two version-specific URI bugs:
1012    1. gsutil cp -r gs://bucket1 gs://bucket2 would create objects in bucket2
1013       with names corresponding to version-specific URIs in bucket1 (e.g.,
1014       gs://bucket2/obj#1361417568482000, where the "#1361417568482000" part was
1015       part of the object name, not the object's generation).
1016
1017       This problem similarly caused gsutil cp -r gs://bucket1 ./dir to create
1018       files names corresponding to version-specific URIs in bucket1.
1019    2. gsutil rm -a gs://bucket/obj would attempt to delete the same object
1020       twice, getting a NoSuchKey error on the second attempt.

1049
1050Release 3.22 (release-date: 2013-02-15)
1051=======================================
1052
1053New Features
1054------------
1055
1056- Implemented new chacl command, which makes it easy to add and remove bucket
1057  and object ACL grants without having to edit XML (like the older setacl
1058  command).
1059- Implemented new "daisy-chain" copying mode, which allows cross-provider
1060  copies to run without buffering to local disk, and to use resumable uploads.
1061  This copying mode also allows copying between locations and between storage
1062  classes, using the new gsutil cp -D option. (Daisy-chain copying is the
1063  default when copying between providers, but must be explicitly requested for
1064  the other cases to keep costs and performance expectations clear.)
1065- Implemented new perfdiag command to run a diagnostic test against
1066  a bucket, collect system information, and report results. Useful
1067  when working with Google Cloud Storage team to resolve questions
1068  about performance.
1069- Added SIGQUIT (^\) handler, to allow breakpointing a running gsutil.
1070
1071Bug Fixes
1072---------

1077  from non-7bit ASCII input filename.
1078- Changed boto auth plugin framework to allow multiple plugins
1079  supporting requested capability, which fixes gsutil exception
1080  that used to happen where a GCE user had a service account
1081  configured and then ran gsutil config.
1082- Changed Command.Apply method to be resilient to name expansion
1083  exceptions. Before this change, if an exception was raised
1084  during iteration of NameExpansionResult, the parent process
1085  would immediately stop execution, causing the
1086  _EOF_NAME_EXPANSION_RESULT to never be sent to child processes.
1087  This resulted in the process hanging forever.
1088- Fixed various bugs for gsutil running on Windows:
1089  - Fixed various places from a hard-coded '/' to os.sep.
1090  - Fixed a bug in the cp command where it was using the destination
1091    URI's .delim property instead of the source URI.
1092  - Fixed a bug in the cp command's _SrcDstSame function by
1093    simplifying it to use os.path.normpath.
1094  - Fixed windows bug in tests/util.py _NormalizeURI function.
1095  - Fixed ZeroDivisionError sometimes happening during unit tests
1096    on Windows.
1097
1098- Fixed gsutil rm bug that caused exit status 1 when encountered
1099  non-existent URI.
1100- Fixed support for gsutil cp file -.
1101- Added preconditions and retry logic to setmeta command, to
1102  enforce concurrency control.
1103- Fixed bug in copying subdirs to subdirs.
1104- Fixed cases where boto debug_level caused too much or too little
1105  logging:
1106  - resumable and one-shot uploads weren't showing response headers
1107    when connection.debug > 0.
1108  - payload was showing up in debug output when connection.debug
1109    < 4 for streaming uploads.
1110
1111- Removed XML parsing from setacl. The previous implementation
1112  relied on loose XML handling, which could truncate what it sends
1113  to the service, allowing invalid XML to be specified by the
1114  user. Instead now the ACL XML is passed verbatim and we rely
1115  on server-side schema enforcement.
1116- Added user-agent header to resumable uploads.
1117- Fixed reporting bits/s when it was really bytes/s.
1118- Changed so we now pass headers with API version & project ID
1119  to create_bucket().
1120- Made "gsutil rm -r gs://bucket/folder" remove xyz_$folder$ object
1121  (which is created by various GUI tools).
1122- Fixed bug where gsutil binary was shipped with protection 750
1123  instead of 755.
1124
1125Other Changes
1126-------------
1127
1128- Reworked versioned object handling:
1129  - Removed need for commands to specify -v option to parse
1130    versions. Versioned URIs are now uniformly handled by all
1131    commands.
1132  - Refactored StorageUri parsing that had been split across
1133    storage_uri and convenience; made versioned URIs render with
1134    version string so StorageUri is round-trippable (boto change).
1135  - Implemented gsutil cp -v option for printing the version-specific
1136    URI that was just created.
1137  - Added error detail for attempt to delete non-empty versioned
1138    bucket. Also added versioning state to ls -L -b gs://bucket
1139    output.
1140  - Changed URI parsing to use pre-compiled regex's.
1141  - Other bug fixes.
1142
1143- Rewrote/deepened/improved various parts of built-in help:
1144  - Updated 'gsutil help dev'.
1145  - Fixed help command handling when terminal does not have the
1146    number of rows set.
1147  - Rewrote versioning help.
1148  - Added gsutil help text for common 403 AccountProblem error.
1149  - Added text to 'gsutil help dev' about legal agreement needed
1150    with code submissions.
1151  - Fixed various other typos.
1152  - Updated doc for cp command regarding metadata not being
1153    preserved when copying between providers.
1154  - Fixed gsutil ls command documentation typo for the -L option.
1155  - Added HTTP scheme to doc/examples for gsutil setcors command.
1156  - Changed minimum version in documentation from 2.5 to 2.6 since
1157    gsutil no longer works in Python 2.5.
1158  - Cleaned up/clarify/deepen various other parts of gsutil
1159    built-in documentation.
1160
1161- Numerous improvements to testing infrastructure:
1162  - Completely refactored infrastructure, allowing deeper testing
1163    and more readable test code, and enabling better debugging
1164    output when tests fail.
1165  - Moved gslib/test_*.py unit tests to gslib/tests module.
1166  - Made all tests (unit and integration, per-command and modules
1167    (like naming) run from single gsutil test command.
1168  - Moved TempDir functions from GsUtilIntegrationTestCase to
1169    GsUtilTestCase.
1170  - Made test runner message show the test function being run.
1171  - Added file path support to ObjectToURI function.
1172  - Disabled the test command if running on Python 2.6 and unittest2
1173    is not available instead of breaking all of gsutil.
1174  - Changed to pass GCS V2 API and project_id from boto config
1175    if necessary in integration_testcase#CreateBucket().
1176  - Fixed unit tests by using a GS-specific mocking class to
1177    override the S3 provider.
1178  - Added friendlier error message if test path munging fails.
1179  - Fixed bug where gsutil test only cleaned up first few test files.
1180  - Implemented setacl integration tests.
1181  - Implemented StorageUri parsing unit tests.
1182  - Implemented test for gsutil cp -D.
1183  - Implemented setacl integration tests.
1184  - Implemented tests for reading and seeking past end of file.
1185  - Implemented and tests for it in new tests module.
1186  - Changed cp tests that don't specify a Content-Type to check
1187    for new binary/octet-stream default instead of server-detected
1188    mime type.
1189
1190- Changed gsutil mv to allow moving local files/dirs to the cloud.
1191  Previously this was disallowed in the belief we should be
1192  conservative about deleting data from local disk but there are
1193  legitimate use cases for moving data from a local dir to the
1194  cloud, it's clear to the user this would remove data from the
1195  local disk, and allowing it makes the tool behavior more
1196  consistent with what users would expect.
1197- Changed gsutil update command to insist on is_secure and
1198  https_validate_certificates.
1199- Fixed release no longer to include extraneous boto dirs in
1200  top-level of gsutil distribution (like bin/ and docs/).
1201- Changed resumable upload threshold from 1 MB to 2 MB.
1202- Removed leftover cloudauth and cloudreader dirs. Sample code
1203  now lives at https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform.
1204- Updated copyright notice on code files.

1277
1278Bug Fixes
1279---------
1280
1281- Fixed resumable upload boundary condition when handling POST request
1282  when server already has complete file, which resulted in an infinite
1283  loop that consumed 100% of the CPU.
1284- Fixed one more place that outputted progress info when gsutil cp -q
1285  specified (during streaming uploads).
1286
1287Other Changes
1288-------------
1289
1290- Updated help text for "gsutil help setmeta" and "gsutil help metadata", to

1323=======================================
1324
1325New Features
1326------------
1327
1328- Implemented gsutil setmeta command.
1329- Made gsutil understand bucket subdir conventions used by various tools
1330  (like GCS Manager and CloudBerry) so if you cp or mv to a subdir you
1331  created with one of those tools it will work as expected.
1332- Added support for Windows drive letter-prefaced paths when using Storage
1333  URIs.
1334
1335Bug Fixes
1336---------
1337
1338- Fixed performance bug when downloading a large object with Content-
1339  Encoding:gzip, where decompression attempted to load the entire object
1340  in memory. Also added "Uncompressing" log output if file is larger than
1341  50M, to make it clear the download hasn't stalled.
1342- Fixed naming bug when performing gsutil mv from a bucket subdir to
1343  and existing bucket subdir.
1344- Fixed bug that caused cross-provider copies into Google Cloud Storage to

1351
1352Other Changes
1353-------------
1354
1355- Changed gsutil to unset http_proxy environment variable if it's set,
1356  because it confuses boto. (Proxies should instead be configured via the
1357  boto config file.)
1358
1359
1360Release 3.14 (release-date: 2012-07-28)

1481Performance Improvement
1482-----------------------
1483
1484- Change by Evan Worley to calculate MD5s incrementally during uploads and
1485  downloads. This reduces overall transfer time substantially for large
1486  objects.
1487
1488Bug Fixes
1489---------
1490
1491- Fixed bug where uploading and moving multiple files to a bucket subdirectory
1492  didn't work as intended.
1493  (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil/issues/92).
1494- Fixed bug where gsutil cp -r sourcedir didn't copy to specified subdir
1495  if there is only one file in sourcedir.
1496- Fixed bug where tracker file included a timestamp that caused it not to
1497  be recognized across sessions.
1498- Fixed bug where gs://bucket/*/dir wildcard matches too many objects.
1499- Fixed documentation errors in help associated with ACLs and projects.
1500- Changed GCS ACL parsing to be case-insensitive.
1501- Changed ls to print error and exit with non-0 status when wildcard matches
1502  nothing, to be more consistent with UNIX shell behavior.

1507
1508Bug Fixes
1509---------
1510
1511- Fixed problem where resumable uploads/downloads of objects with very long
1512  names would generate tracking files with names that exceeded local file
1513  system limits, making it impossible to complete resumable transfers for
1514  those objects. Solution was to build the tracking file name from a fixed
1515  prefix, SHA1 hash of the long filename, epoch timestamp and last 16
1516  chars of the long filename, which is guarantee to be a predictable and
1517  reasonable length.
1518- Fixed minor bug in output from 'gsutil help dev' which advised executing
1519  an inconsequential test script (test_util.py).

1543  separators when copying individually-named files (issue 87).
1544- Fixed problem where gsutil ls -R didn't work right if there was a key
1545  with a leading path (like /foo/bar/baz)

1551Bug Fixes
1552---------
1553
1554- Removed erroneous setting of Content-Encoding when a gzip file is uploaded
1555  (vs running gsutil cp -z, when Content-Encoding should be set). This
1556  error caused users to get gsutil.tar.gz file uncompressed by the user
1557  agent (like wget) while downloading, making the file appear to be of the
1558  wrong size/content.
1559- Fixed handling of gsutil help for Windows (previous code depended on
1560  termios and fcntl libs, which are Linux/MacOS-specific).

1562
1563Release 3.0 (release-date: 2012-03-20)
1564======================================
1565
1566Important Notes
1567---------------
1568
1569- Backwards-incompatible wildcard change:
1570  The '*' wildcard now only matches objects within a bucket directory. If
1571  you have scripts that depend on being able to match spanning multiple
1572  directories you need to use '**' instead. For example, the command:
1573
1574        gsutil cp gs://bucket/*.txt
1575
1576  will now only match .txt files in the top-level directory.
1577
1578        gsutil cp gs://bucket/**.txt
1579
1580  will match across all directories.
1581- gsutil ls now lists one directory at a time. If you want to list all objects
1582  in a bucket, you can use:
1583
1584        gsutil ls gs://bucket/**
1585
1586  or:
1587
1588        gsutil ls -R gs://bucket
1589
1590New Features
1591------------
1592
1593- Built-in help for all commands and many additional topics. Try
1594  "gsutil help" for a list of available commands and topics.
1595- A new hierarchical file tree abstraction layer, which makes the flat bucket
1596  name space look like a hierarchical file tree. This makes several things
1597  possible:
1598  - copying data to/from bucket sub-directories (see “gsutil help cp”).
1599  - distributing large uploads/downloads across many machines
1600    (see “gsutil help cp”)
1601  - renaming bucket sub-directories (see “gsutil help mv”).
1602  - listing individual bucket sub-directories and for listing directories
1603    recursively (see “gsutil help ls”).
1604  - setting ACLs for objects in a sub-directory (see “gsutil help setacl”).
1605
1606- Support for per-directory (*) and recursive (**) wildcards. Essentially,
1607  ** works the way * did in previous gsutil releases, and * now behaves
1608  consistently with how it works in command interpreters (like bash). The
1609  ability to specify directory-only wildcards also enables a number of use
1610  cases, such as distributing large uploads/downloads by wildcarded name. See
1611  "gsutil help wildcards" for details.
1612- Support for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) configuration. See "gsutil
1613  help cors" for details.
1614- Support for multi-threading and recursive operation for setacl command
1615  (see “gsutil help setacl”).
1616- Ability to use the UNIX 'file' command to do content type recognition as
1617  an alternative to filename extensions.
1618- Introduction of new end-to-end test suite.
1619- The gsutil version command now computes a checksum of the code, to detect
1620  corruption and local modification when assisting with technical support.
1621- The gsutil update command is no longer beta/experimental, and now also
1622  supports updating from named URIs (for early/test releases).
1623- Changed gsutil ls -L to also print Content-Disposition header.
1624
1625Bug Fixes
1626---------
1627
1628- The gsutil cp -t option previously didn't work as documented, and instead
1629  Content-Type was always detected based on filename extension. Content-Type
1630  detection is now the default, the -t option is deprecated (to be removed in
1631  the future), and specifying a -h Content-Type header now correctly overrides
1632  the filename extension based handling. For details see "gsutil help
1633  metadata".
1634- Fixed bug that caused multi-threaded mv command not to percolate failures
1635  during the cp phase to the rm phase, which could under some circumstances
1636  cause data that was not copied to be deleted.
1637- Fixed bug that caused gsutil to use GET for ls -L requests. It now uses HEAD
1638  for ls -L requests, which is more efficient and faster.
1639- Fixed bug that caused gsutil not to preserve metadata during
1640  copy-in-the-cloud.
1641- Fixed bug that prevented setacl command from allowing DisplayName's in ACLs.
1642- Fixed bug that caused gsutil/boto to suppress consecutive slashes in path
1643  names.
1644- Fixed spec-non-compliant URI construction for resumable uploads.
1645- Fixed bug that caused rm -f not to work.
1646- Fixed UnicodeEncodeError that happened when redirecting gsutil ls output
1647  to a file with non-ASCII object names.

1649Other Changes
1650-------------
1651
1652- UserAgent sent in HTTP requests now includes gsutil version number and OS
1653  name.
1654- Starting with this release users are able to get individual named releases
1655  from version-named objects: gs://pub/gsutil_<version>.tar.gz
1656  and gs://pub/gsutil_<version>.zip. The version-less counterparts
1657  (gs://pub/gsutil.tar.gz and gs://pub/gsutil.zip) will contain the latest
1658  release. Also, the gs://pub bucket is now publicly readable (so, anyone
1659  can list its contents).

1662Release 2.0 (release-date: 2012-01-13)
1663======================================
1664
1665New Features
1666------------
1667
1668- Support for for two new installation modes: enterprise and RPM.
1669  Customers can now install gsutil one of three ways:
1670  - Individual user mode (previously the only available mode): unpacking from
1671    a gzipped tarball (gs://pub/gsutil.tar.gz) or zip file
1672    (gs://pub/gsutil.zip) and running the gsutil command in place in the
1673    unpacked gsutil directory.
1674  - Enterprise mode (new): unpacking as above, and then running the setup.py
1675    script in the unpacked gsutil directory. This allows a systems
1676    administrator to install gsutil in a central location, using the Python
1677    distutils facility. This mode is supported only on Linux and MacOS.
1678  - RPM mode (new). A RedHat RPM can be built from the gsutil.spec.in file
1679    in the unpacked gsutil directory, allowing it to be installed as part of
1680    a RedHat build.
1681
1682- Note: v2.0 is the first numbered gsutil release. Previous releases
1683  were given timestamps for versions. Numbered releases enable downstream
1684  package builds (like RPMs) to define dependencies more easily.
1685  This is also the first version where we began including release notes.
