Change Log

HEAD

Add a MAINFEST.in to ensure the LICENSE file gets included + CHANGELOG.md/README.md to sdist tarball
Renamed Item.item_id, Folder.folder_id and Occurrence.item_id to just Item.id, Folder.id and Occurrence.id, respectively. This removes redundancy in the naming and provides consistency. For all classes that have an ID, the ID can now be accessed using the id attribute. Backwards compatibility and deprecation warnings were added.

1.11.5

Update to use six.urllib in util.py file to support Python2/3

1.11.4

Improve back off handling when receiving ErrorServerBusy error messages from the server
Fixed bug where Account.root and its children would point to the root folder of the connecting account instead of the target account when connecting to other accounts.

1.11.3

Add experimental Kerberos support. This adds the pykerberos package, which needs the following system packages to be installed on Ubuntu/Debian systems: apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev libkrb5-dev.

1.11.2

Bugfix release

1.11.1

Bugfix release

1.11.0

Added cancel to CalendarItem and CancelCalendarItem class to allow cancelling meetings that were set up
Added accept, decline and tentatively_accept to CalendarItem as wrapper methods
Added accept, decline and tentatively_accept to MeetingRequest to respond to incoming invitations
Added BaseMeetingItem (inheriting from Item) being used as base for MeetingCancellation, MeetingMessage, MeetingRequest and MeetingResponse
Added AssociatedCalendarItemId (property), AssociatedCalendarItemIdField and ReferenceItemIdField
Added PostReplyItem
Removed Folder.get_folder_by_name() which has been deprecated since version 1.10.2.
Added Item.copy(to_folder=some_folder) method which copies an item to the given folder and returns the ID of the new item.
We now respect the back off value of an ErrorServerBusy server error.
Added support for fetching free/busy availability information ofr a list of accounts.
Added Message.reply(), Message.reply_all(), and Message.forward() methods.
The full search API now works on single folders and collections of folders, e.g. some_folder.glob('foo*').filter(), some_folder.children.filter() and some_folder.walk().filter().
Deprecated EWSService.CHUNKSIZE in favor of a per-request chunk_size available on Account.bulk_foo() methods.
Support searching the GAL and other contact folders using some_contact_folder.people().
Deprecated the page_size argument for QuerySet.iterator() because it was inconsistent with other API methods. You can still set the page size of a queryset like this:
```
qs = a.inbox.filter(...).iterator()
qs.page_size = 123
for item in items:
    print(item)
```

1.10.7

Added support for registering extended properties on folders.
Added support for creating, updating, deleting and emptying folders.

1.10.6

Added support for getting and setting Account.oof_settings using the new OofSettings class.
Added snake_case named shortcuts to all distinguished folders on the Account model. E.g. Account.search_folders.

1.10.5

Bugfix release

1.10.4

Added support for most item fields. The remaining ones are mentioned in issue #203.

1.10.3

Added an exchangelib.util.PrettyXmlHandler log handler which will pretty-print and highlight XML requests and responses.

1.10.2

Greatly improved folder navigation. See the 'Folders' section in the README
Added deprecation warnings for Account.folders and Folder.get_folder_by_name()

1.10.1

Bugfix release

1.10.0

Removed the verify_ssl argument to Account, discover and Configuration. If you need to disable TLS verification, register a custom HTTPAdapter class. A sample adapter class is provided for convenience:
```
from exchangelib.protocol import BaseProtocol, NoVerifyHTTPAdapter
BaseProtocol.HTTP_ADAPTER_CLS = NoVerifyHTTPAdapter
```

1.9.6

Support new Office365 build numbers

1.9.5

Added support for the effective_rightsfield on items and folders.
Added support for custom requests transport adapters, to allow proxy support, custom TLS validation etc.
Default value for the affected_task_occurrences argument to Item.move_to_trash(), Item.soft_delete() and Item.delete() was changed to 'AllOccurrences' as a less surprising default when working with simple tasks.
Added Task.complete() helper method to mark tasks as complete.

1.9.4

Added minimal support for the PostItem item type
Added support for the DistributionList item type
Added support for receiving naive datetimes from the server. They will be localized using the new default_timezone attribute on Account
Added experimental support for recurring calendar items. See examples in issue #37.

1.9.3

Improved support for filter(), .only(), .order_by() etc. on indexed properties. It is now possible to specify labels and subfields, e.g. .filter(phone_numbers=PhoneNumber(label='CarPhone', phone_number='123')) .filter(phone_numbers__CarPhone='123'), .filter(physical_addresses__Home__street='Elm St. 123'), .only('physical_addresses__Home__street')` etc.
Improved performance of .order_by() when sorting on multiple fields.
Implemented QueryString search. You can now filter using an EWS QueryString, e.g. filter('subject:XXX')

1.9.2

Added EWSTimeZone.localzone() to get the local timezone
Support some_folder.get(item_id=..., changekey=...) as a shortcut to get a single item when you know the ID and changekey.
Support attachments on Exchange 2007

1.9.1

Fixed XML generation for Exchange 2010 and other picky server versions
Fixed timezone localization for EWSTimeZone created from a static timezone

1.9.0

Expand support for ExtendedProperty to include all possible attributes. This required renaming the property_id attribute to property_set_id.
When using the Credentials class, UnauthorizedError is now raised if the credentials are wrong.
Add a new version attribute to Configuration, to force the server version if version guessing does not work. Accepts a exchangelib.version.Version object.
Rework bulk operations Account.bulk_foo() and Account.fetch() to return some exceptions unraised, if it is deemed the exception does not apply to all items. This means that e.g. fetch() can return a mix of `Item and ErrorItemNotFound instances, if only some of the requested ItemId were valid. Other exceptions will be raised immediately, e.g. ErrorNonExistentMailbox because the exception applies to all items. It is the responsibility of the caller to check the type of the returned values.
The Folder class has new attributes total_count, unread_count and child_folder_count, and a refresh() method to update these values.
The argument to Account.upload() was renamed from upload_data to just data
Support for using a string search expression for Folder.filter() was removed. It was a cool idea but using QuerySet chaining and Q objects is even cooler and provides the same functionality, and more.
Add support for reminder_due_by and reminder_minutes_before_start fields on Item objects. Submitted by @vikipha.
Added a new ServiceAccount class which is like Credentials but does what is_service_account did before. If you need fault-tolerane and used Credentials(..., is_service_account=True) before, use ServiceAccount now. This also disables fault-tolerance for the Credentials class, which is in line with what most users expected.
Added an optional update_fields attribute to save() to specify only some fields to be updated.
Code in in folders.py has been split into multiple files, and some classes will have new import locaions. The most commonly used classes have a shortcut in __init__.py
Added support for the exists lookup in filters, e.g. my_folder.filter(categories__exists=True|False) to filter on the existence of that field on items in the folder.
When filtering, foo__in=value now requires the value to be a list, and foo__contains requires the value to be a list if the field itself is a list, e.g. categories__contains=['a', 'b'].
Added support for fields and enum entries that are only supported in some EWS versions
Added a new field Item.text_body which is a read-only version of HTML body content, where HTML tags are stripped by the server. Only supported from Exchange 2013 and up.
Added a new choice WorkingElsewhere to the CalendarItem.legacy_free_busy_status enum. Only supported from Exchange 2013 and up.

1.8.1

Fix completely botched Message.from field renaming in 1.8.0
Improve performance of QuerySet slicing and indexing. For example, account.inbox.all()[10] and account.inbox.all()[:10] now only fetch 10 items from the server even though account.inbox.all() could contain thousands of messages.

1.8.0

Renamed Message.from field to Message.author. from is a Python keyword so from could only be accessed as Getattr(my_essage, 'from') which is just stupid.
Make EWSTimeZone Windows timezone name translation more robust
Add read-only Message.message_id which holds the Internet Message Id
Memory and speed improvements when sorting querysets using order_by() on a single field.

Allow setting Mailbox and Attendee-type attributes as plain strings, e.g.:

calendar_item.organizer =  'anne@example.com'
calendar_item.required_attendees =  ['john@example.com', 'bill@example.com']

message.to_recipients =  ['john@example.com', 'anne@example.com']

1.7.6

Bugfix release

1.7.5

Account.fetch() and Folder.fetch() are now generators. They will do nothing before being evaluated.
Added optional page_size attribute to QuerySet.iterator() to specify the number of items to return per HTTP request for large query results. Default page_size is 100.
Many minor changes to make queries less greedy and return earlier

1.7.4

Add Python2 support

1.7.3

Implement attachments support. It's now possible to create, delete and get attachments connected to any item type:

from exchangelib.folders import FileAttachment, ItemAttachment

# Process attachments on existing items
for item in my_folder.all():
    for attachment in item.attachments:
        local_path = os.path.join('/tmp', attachment.name)
        with open(local_path, 'wb') as f:
            f.write(attachment.content)
            print('Saved attachment to', local_path)

# Create a new item with an attachment
item = Message(...)
binary_file_content = 'Hello from unicode æøå'.encode('utf-8')  # Or read from file, BytesIO etc.
my_file = FileAttachment(name='my_file.txt', content=binary_file_content)
item.attach(my_file)
my_calendar_item = CalendarItem(...)
my_appointment = ItemAttachment(name='my_appointment', item=my_calendar_item)
item.attach(my_appointment)
item.save()

# Add an attachment on an existing item
my_other_file = FileAttachment(name='my_other_file.txt', content=binary_file_content)
item.attach(my_other_file)

# Remove the attachment again
item.detach(my_file)

Be aware that adding and deleting attachments from items that are already created in Exchange (items that have an item_id) will update the changekey of the item.

Implement Item.headers which contains custom Internet message headers. Primarily useful for Message objects. Read-only for now.

1.7.2

Implement the Contact.physical_addresses attribute. This is a list of exchangelib.folders.PhysicalAddress items.
Implement the CalendarItem.is_all_day boolean to create all-day appointments.
Implement my_folder.export() and my_folder.upload(). Thanks to @SamCB!
Fixed Account.folders for non-distinguished folders
Added Folder.get_folder_by_name() to make it easier to get sub-folders by name.
Implement CalendarView searches as my_calendar.view(start=..., end=...). A view differs from a normal filter() in that a view expands recurring items and returns recurring item occurrences that are valid in the time span of the view.
Persistent storage location for autodiscover cache is now platform independent
Implemented custom extended properties. To add support for your own custom property, subclass exchangelib.folders.ExtendedProperty and call register() on the item class you want to use the extended property with. When you have registered your extended property, you can use it exactly like you would use any other attribute on this item type. If you change your mind, you can remove the extended property again with deregister():
```
class LunchMenu(ExtendedProperty):
    property_id = '12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456781234'
    property_name = 'Catering from the cafeteria'
    property_type = 'String'

CalendarItem.register('lunch_menu', LunchMenu)
item = CalendarItem(..., lunch_menu='Foie gras et consommé de légumes')
item.save()
CalendarItem.deregister('lunch_menu')
```

Fixed a bug on folder items where an existing HTML body would be converted to text when calling save(). When creating or updating an item body, you can use the two new helper classes exchangelib.Body and exchangelib.HTMLBody to specify if your body should be saved as HTML or text. E.g.:

item = CalendarItem(...)
# Plain-text body
item.body = Body('Hello UNIX-beard pine user!')
# Also plain-text body, works as before
item.body = 'Hello UNIX-beard pine user!'
# Exchange will see this as an HTML body and display nicely in clients
item.body = HTMLBody('<html><body>Hello happy <blink>OWA user!</blink></body></html>')
item.save()

1.7.1

Fix bug where fetching items from a folder that can contain multiple item types (e.g. the Deleted Items folder) would only return one item type.
Added Item.move(to_folder=...) that moves an item to another folder, and Item.refresh() that updates the Item with data from EWS.
Support reverse sort on individual fields in order_by(), e.g. my_folder.all().order_by('subject', '-start')
Account.bulk_create() was added to create items that don't need a folder, e.g. Message.send()
Account.fetch() was added to fetch items without knowing the containing folder.
Implemented SendItem service to send existing messages.
Folder.bulk_delete() was moved to Account.bulk_delete()

Folder.bulk_update() was moved to Account.bulk_update() and changed to expect a list of (Item, fieldnames) tuples where Item is e.g. a Message instance and fieldnames is a list of attributes names that need updating. E.g.:

items = []
for i in range(4):
    item = Message(subject='Test %s' % i)
    items.append(item)
account.sent.bulk_create(items=items)

item_changes = []
for i, item in enumerate(items):
    item.subject = 'Changed subject' % i
    item_changes.append(item, ['subject'])
account.bulk_update(items=item_changes)

1.7.0

Added the is_service_account flag to Credentials. is_service_account=False disables the fault-tolerant error handling policy and enables immediate failures.
Configuration now expects a single credentials attribute instead of separate username and password attributes.
Added support for distinguished folders Account.trash, Account.drafts, Account.outbox, Account.sent and Account.junk.
Renamed Folder.find_items() to Folder.filter()
Renamed Folder.add_items() to Folder.bulk_create()
Renamed Folder.update_items() to Folder.bulk_update()
Renamed Folder.delete_items() to Folder.bulk_delete()
Renamed Folder.get_items() to Folder.fetch()
Made various policies for message saving, meeting invitation sending, conflict resolution, task occurrences and deletion available on bulk_create(), bulk_update() and bulk_delete().
Added convenience methods Item.save(), Item.delete(), Item.soft_delete(), Item.move_to_trash(), and methods Message.send() and Message.send_and_save() that are specific to Message objects. These methods make it easier to create, update and delete single items.
Removed fetch(.., with_extra=True) in favor of the more fine-grained fetch(.., only_fields=[...])
Added a QuerySet class that supports QuerySet-returning methods filter(), exclude(), only(), order_by(), reverse()``values() and values_list() that all allow for chaining. QuerySet also has methods iterator(), get(), count(), exists() and delete(). All these methods behave like their counterparts in Django.

1.6.2

Use of my_folder.with_extra_fields = True to get the extra fields in Item.EXTRA_ITEM_FIELDS is deprecated (it was a kludge anyway). Instead, use my_folder.get_items(ids, with_extra=[True, False]). The default was also changed to True, to avoid head-scratching with newcomers.

1.6.1

Simplify Q objects and Restriction.from_source() by using Item attribute names in expressions and kwargs instead of EWS FieldURI values. Change Folder.find_items() to accept either a search expression, or a list of Q objects just like Django filter() does. E.g.:

ids = account.calendar.find_items(
      "start < '2016-01-02T03:04:05T' and end > '2016-01-01T03:04:05T' and categories in ('foo', 'bar')",
      shape=IdOnly
)

q1, q2 = (Q(subject__iexact='foo') | Q(subject__contains='bar')), ~Q(subject__startswith='baz')
ids = account.calendar.find_items(q1, q2, shape=IdOnly)

1.6.0

Complete rewrite of Folder.find_items(). The old start, end, subject and categories args are deprecated in favor of a Django QuerySet filter() syntax. The supported lookup types are __gt, __lt, __gte, __lte, __range, __in, __exact, __iexact, __contains, __icontains, __contains, __icontains, __startswith, __istartswith, plus an additional __not which translates to !=. Additionally, all fields on the item are now supported in Folder.find_items().

WARNING: This change is backwards-incompatible! Old uses of Folder.find_items() like this:
```
ids = account.calendar.find_items(
    start=tz.localize(EWSDateTime(year, month, day)),
    end=tz.localize(EWSDateTime(year, month, day + 1)),
    categories=['foo', 'bar'],
)
```
must be rewritten like this:
```
ids = account.calendar.find_items(
    start__lt=tz.localize(EWSDateTime(year, month, day + 1)),
    end__gt=tz.localize(EWSDateTime(year, month, day)),
    categories__contains=['foo', 'bar'],
)
```
failing to do so will most likely result in empty or wrong results.
Added a exchangelib.restrictions.Q class much like Django Q objects that can be used to create even more complex filtering. Q objects must be passed directly to exchangelib.services.FindItem.

1.3.6

Don't require sequence arguments to Folder.*_items() methods to support len() (e.g. generators and map instances are now supported)
Allow empty sequences as argument to Folder.*_items() methods

1.3.4

Add support for required_attendees, optional_attendees and resources attribute on folders.CalendarItem. These are implemented with a new folders.Attendee class.

1.3.3

Add support for organizer attribute on CalendarItem. Implemented with a new folders.Mailbox class.
