Release Notes for mwclient

Changes in version 0.8.2

This is the development version of mwclient.

Changes in version 0.8.1

Mwclient 0.8.1 was released on 5 February 2016.

Changes in version 0.8.0

Mwclient 0.8.0 was released on 10 January 2016.

Upgrade notices / breaking changes:

  • Saving a section rather than the full page can now only be achieved by passing in the section parameter explicitly to the save method. The section number is no longer part of the Page state, so Page.save() no longer makes use of a section parameter earlier passed into Page.text(). A deprecation warning was added in 0.7.2.
  • Https is now used as default.

Changes in version 0.7.0

Upgrade notices:

  • The Page.edit() method has been renamed to Page.text(). While Page.edit() is deprecated, it will be available for a long time. The old Page.text attribute, that used to store a copy of the wikitext from the last Page.edit() call, has been removed entirely. The readonly argument has also been removed (it was never really implemented, so it acted only as a dummy argument before the removal).
  • The Page.get_expanded() method has been deprecated in favour of calling Page.text(expandtemplates=True).
