  5. Added List threads by context call.

• Removed mistakenly documented by oDesk but not working API call for getting team adjustments.

Version 0.5.2

• Fixed engagements API call, so that you can call client.hr.get_engagements() without any parameter to get all engagements for authorized user.

• oTask API strongly reworked, from now Task Codes are renamed to Activities and it’s behavior is changed:

  1. Activity now is assigned to the engagement ID. It will appear it user’s oDesk Team Client only if it was assigned to the user’s engagement.
  2. You cannot delete activity. You can archive it and unarchive if necessary.
  3. Activities are created on the team level, you can create a company level activities by passing team_id that is equal to company_id (which is parent__team_id). There’s a methods for this already, please see the reference documentation. Note that archived activity has empty engagements list, so if you decide to unarchive an activity, you need to do an extra update call to assign the activity to someone.
  4. When creating/updating activities you can pass optional engagements parameter, that should be a list of engagements that will be assigned to the Activity. Otherwise the activity won’t be assigned to anyone. If you want to assign created/updated activity to all engagements in the company, you can set the all_in_company parameter.
  5. update_batch_tasks call is marked as experimental, use it on your own risk. It will be reworked in future.

Version 0.5.1

• Fixed bug preventing update (PUT method) for oTask codes that contained non-urlsafe characters, e.g. “space”, “colon”, etc.

Version 0.5

October 2013

Backwards incompatibility changes:

• Old key-based authorization is completely removed, now the only way to authorize is oAuth 1.0
• odesk.Client class doesn’t support auth keyword argument any more, as now there’s only one way of doing authorization
• Introduced V2 API calls for Search Providers and Search Jobs. V1 API calls still work but to the end of 2013 will be switched off. So we greatly encourage you to use V2 API calls.
• examples/ directory of the repository is updated with new examples for web and desktop application

Improvements:

• Clean up API to be consistent with official oDesk API documentation
• Now we use urllib3 and all Http exceptions returned by API have meaningful messages
• Real PUT and DELETE json calls
• Some parts of API are fixed with to work correctly. Please refer to the method’s docstring to see comprehensive description
