Py-ioticagent

- Remote point instances now include entity LID to which subscription applies
- Start processing callbacks only after QAPI ping has completed
- Return resource guids without dashes (to be in line with request
responses which have no dashes for them). Dashed guids can still be
provided as input to methods.
- Added ThingRunner class to ease running of agent code (optionally in
background thread).
- Added feed/control data template generator (from metadata)
Provides additional callbacks to filter only data which conforms to its
value description.
- Return True on control tell success (string on failure)
- Added check to prevent sharing attempt with Controls
- Allow CRUD callbacks not to be serialised (so as to allow for
additional QAPI requests after e.g. receiving a sub-created callback)
- Added subscribed (i.e. new subscription to own thing) calback
- Fix unsolicited resource logging exception
- Allow for easy profiling of agent threads (include user's own)
- Correction to default throttling limits
- Log (warn) long throttling waits

- Request sending reliability improvements (on network failure)
- Allow for underlying socket timeout to be configured
- Synchronous requests now also time out on lack of response (not just send failure)
- Removed redundant seqnum & lowseq_resend parameters (Core.Client)
- Print version information on info logging level
- Minor documentation updates
- Minor resource class validation & consistency updates

- Updated for QAPI v0.7.0 support
- Removed unnecessary returns from ResourceMeta
- IOT.Client.describe() now has optional language parameter - results only
contain items in chosen language (apart from for Values)
- Tags now require at least 3 characters and can only contain alphanumeric
(unicode) symbols and underscore
- Search text validation automatically removes invalid words (which adhere to
same restriction as above for tags).
- Log discarded request message now only when at least one discarded
- Package documentation updates
- Core message decoder now properly handles PROGRESS type (logging)
- Fixed missing logging parameter in Core client
- Allow for comments (metadata) to contain line breaks, simplified text
validation logic
- Outgoing message queue size and message rates now restriced (configurable)
- Fixed send thread trying to access (retried) request after it has already
completed
- Removed Point.list_value (Point.list already provides said functionality)
- Corrected default limit for Point.list_values (50)
- For IOT API consistency, now also unwrap dictionary returns (i.e. return only
the value of key as listed here):
Client.list ('entities')
Client.search* ('result')
Client.describe ('result')
Thing.list_feeds ('feeds')
Thing.list_controls ('controls')
Point.list ('values')
Point.list_followers ('subs')
- Improved link readability in pdoc output

- First (public) release
