0.4.0

Perceval 0.4.0 - (2016-11-03)

New features and improvements:

• category field was added to items metadata to classify the type of
  the item generated with each backend.
• The tag attribute added to the backends allows to mark the items
  with a custom label.
• Two class methods, has_caching and has_resuming, are part now
  of Backend class interface to notify whether a backend supports
  caching and/or resuming of items.

Backend improvements:

• jenkins
  • support blacklist of jobs
• mediawiki
  • use API pages methods by default
• phabricator
  • fetch and include projects data assigned to each task
• redmine
  • fetch and include users data
• remo
  • support new version of the API
• supybot
  • parse messages written by special bots

Bugs fixed:

• Filepaths on merge commits were not captured on Git backend. This was
  neccesary in those cases where merge commits only include data about
  lines added and removed because the filepaths were not parsed and
  included on the item data. (#63)
• The url argument on the Gerrit backend was set to optional. It is
  mandatory. Thus, it was set to positional on the argument parser. (#60)
• Newer versions of Phabricator fixed a bug on API Conduit regarding
  'constraints' parameter. The Phabricator client was modified to fix
  this bug, too. (#80)
• Python's requests library decompresses gzip-encoded responses, but
  in some cases is only able to decompress some parts due to encoding
  issues or to mixed contents. This problem was fixed downloading and
  storing the orinal/raw data (compressed or decompressed) for furthed
  processing.
• Jira backend did not return items in order, from oldest to newest. (#89)
• Dates with invalid timezones were not parsed. In those cases, the
  the dates will be converted usin UTC by default. (#73)
