Version 5.0.0

Updated the CLI's command-line argument parsing by replacing the obsolete docopt with the native argparse library, ensuring continued functionality and future compatibility. Note: While the CLI functionality hasn't changed, some commands may need to be formatted slightly differently. If you encounter any issues, refer to ia --help and ia {command} --help if you run into any issues.

Full Changelog: v4.0.1...v4.1.0

Version 4.0.1

Features and Improvements

• Partially downloaded files will now automatically resume where they left off when retried.
• Use Last-Modified header to set all mtimes (this includes files.xml now).

Version 3.7.0

Features and Improvements

• Added support for JSON Patch test operations, via the expect parameter.
• Added support for moving values via --append-list (Now, rather than ignoring any requests where the value is already present, --append-list will move the value to the end of the list).
• Switched to importlib-metadata to drop deprecated pkg_resources.

Bugfixes

• Fixed automatic size hint on uploads.
• Fixed bug where auth wasn't being sent for searches with user_aggs params.

Version 3.4.0

Features and Improvements

• Added parameters for filtering files based on their source value in files.xml.
• Added support for downloading multiple files to stdout.
• Added timeout parameter to download.

Version 3.3.0

Features and Improvements

• Added support for inserting metadata into an existing multi-value metadata
  field. It differs from ia metadata <id> --modify collection[0]:foo in
  that it does not clobber. For example,
  ia metadata <id> --insert collection[0]:foo will insert foo as the
  first collection, it will not clobber.

Bugfixes

• Fixed bug in search where timeouts would always be returned on queries
  submitted to the files index where more than 10,000 results would be
  returned.

Version 3.2.0

Features and Improvements

• Added support for admins to delete reviews via itemname.

  if the specified file existed on disk.

  and verbose=True.
• Fixed bug in upload where a period was not being expanded properly to the
  contents of the current directory.

Features and Improvements

• Added support for admins to delete other users reviews.
• Added support for excluding files in ia download via the --exclude parameter.
