Released: 2016-12-27

**Enhancements:**

CPCs managed by a set of HMCs. The data can optionally be appended
to a CSV spreadsheet, for regular monitoring.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Released: 2016-12-07

**Bug fixes:**

* Fixed typo in help message of cpcinfo.

* Fixed KeyError: 'status' when running example5.py (issue 99).

* Fixed documentation of field Partition.hbas (issue 101).

* Fixed new Flake8 issue E305.

**Enhancements:**

* Started raising a `ParseError` exception when the JSON payload in a HTTP
response cannot be parsed, and improved the definition of the ParseError
exception by adding line and column information.

* Improved the `AuthError` and `ConnectionError` exceptions by adding a
`details` property that provides access to the underlying exception
describing details.

* For asynchronous operations that are invoked with `wait_for_completion`,
added an entry in the time statistics for the overall operation
from the start to completion of the asynchronous operation. That entry
is for a URI that is the target URI, appended with "+completion".

* Added time statistics entry for overall asynchronous operations.

* Improved VersionError exception class and removed number-of-args tests.

* Added the option to create a session object with a given session id.

* Added base implementation of a command line interface (zhmc)
for the zhmcclient.

Released: 2016-10-04

**Incompatible changes:**

* In ``VirtualSwitch.get_connected_vnics()``, renamed the method to
:meth:`~zhmcclient.VirtualSwitch.get_connected_nics` and changed its return value
to return :class:`~zhmcclient.Nic` objects instead of their URIs.

**Bug fixes:**

* Fixed that in `Partition.dump_partition()`, `wait_for_completion` was always
passed on as `True`, ignoring the corresponding input argument.

**Enhancements:**

* Added a script named ``tools/cpcinfo`` that displays information about CPCs.
Invoke with ``-h`` for help.

* Added a :meth:`~zhmcclient.BaseResource.prop` method for resources that
allows specifying a default value in case the property does not exist.

* Added :meth:`~zhmcclient.Cpc.get_wwpns` which performs HMC operation
'Export WWPN List'.

* Added :meth:`~zhmcclient.Hba.reassign_port` which performs HMC operation
'Reassign Storage Adapter Port'.

* Clarifications in the :ref:`Resource model` section.

* Optimized :attr:`~zhmcclient.Cpc.dpm_enabled` property to use
'List Partitions' and 'List Logical Partitions' operations, in order to
avoid the 'List CPC Properties' operation.

* Improved tutorials.
