Version 2.0.0a1

Breaking Changes

• Events.get_events(...) now returns a list of Event instances rather than a list of dict
  representing events. Event inherits from Mapping but will not have all the same capabilities as
  dict.
  • Your code is affected if you use Events.get_events(...) and expect a list of dict rather than a list of
    Mapping. For example, if you use __setitem__ (event['key'] = value), update(), copy(), or
    if your code depends on the str or repr of the Event. Use of __getitem__ (event['key']),
    get(), and other Mapping methods is unaffected. See
    https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/collections.html#collections-abstract-base-classes for methods supported on
    Mapping instances.
  • Migration: If you still need to treat an Event as a dict, you can get a deepcopy of the original dict
    using the new property on BaseAPIJSONObject, response_object.

Features

• Added ability to create custom subclasses of SDK objects with _item_type defined.
• Added an Event class.

Other

• Added extra information to BoxAPIException.
• Added collaboration() method to Client.
• Reworked the class hierarchy. Previously, BaseEndpoint was the parent of BaseObject which was the parent
  of all smart objects. Now BaseObject is a child of both BaseEndpoint and BaseAPIJSONObject.
  BaseObject is the parent of all objects that are a part of the REST API. Another subclass of
  BaseAPIJSONObject, APIJSONObject, was created to represent pseudo-smart objects such as Event that are not
  directly accessible through an API endpoint.
