Amaxa

Changes

- Default API version updated to 52.0
- Formal support for Python 3.6 dropped.
- Ensured we open all files in UTF-8 mode
- Added support for specifying Bulk API mode (serial/parallel)

Amaxa 0.9.6 adds two new features.


Transforms
- The transforms framework is now extensible with plugins.
- Amaxa ships with two new transforms (`prefix` and `suffix`).

Thanks to Kyle Crouse and Doug Ayers for valuable suggestions.

Field Selection in Operations
- Operations may now extend the use of `field-group` by also using `fields` to add more fields and apply transforms.
- A new key, `exclude-fields`, allows the suppression of fields which would otherwise be included by `field-group`.

This release adds several new features and fixes bugs, along with a comprehensive overhaul of the project's documentation, test automation, and release architecture.

Thanks to Edmondo Porcu and Kyle Crouse for suggestions and improvements.

- Prebuilt, single-binary executables are now built for Linux, Mac OS, and Windows 10 (using PyInstaller).
- Amaxa now supports setting Bulk API options, including the batch size.
- Amaxa can use Salesforce DX authentication.
- Environment variables can be referenced in credential files.
- Amaxa now supports a `--check-only` flag to validate a potential operation run.
- Extensive refactoring of the codebase took place to support future enhancements.
- Documentation is now on ReadTheDocs.
- The primary repository has moved to GitHub.

Operation and credential files should use `version: 2` to take advantage of new features.
