mattermost-api v50200.4.0 Release Notes
-
The post pinning API is now supported.
- Adds a new postPinned field to the Post type to allow parsing "is_pinned" values in post editing websocket events. Typically "is_pinned" is not present in post structures, in which case this will take the value Nothing.
- Exposes the new StatusOK type that is returned by new API functions.
- Adds new API functions:
- mmPinPostToChannel
- mmUnpinPostToChannel
- mmGetChannelPinnedPosts
The library now supports connecting to HTTPS endpoints without valid certificates.
This change gets rid of the initConnectionDataInsecure function and instead makes initConnectionData take a new argument of type 'ConnectionType' that describes how the connection should be made.
The ConnectionType type indicates that a connection should be HTTP, HTTPS with cert validation, or HTTPS without cert validation.
This change also modified ConnectionData to carry the connecion type rather than just a Bool indicating HTTP/HTTPS.
- Websocket action responses are now parsed properly.
Websocket actions, such as "user typing" notifications, generate server responses that we previously could not parse. We weren't parsing them because the parser for websocket events wasn't aware of an alternative response message structure. This patch adds a new type for action responses. It adds a new type rather than adding a new constructor to the event type because I think that's a less ugly API (the API in this patch is not ideal). This patch also adds logic to the websocket response parser to first attempt to parse incoming messages as websocket events (the most common case) and then fall back to attempting a parse as a websocket action response. If both fail, the message and the parse exceptions are all logged.
