v2.1.0

PowerShell changes

The JSON returned by the REST server was completely missing the Status object, this is now fixed. Additionally, that object now also contains a Timestamp property to report (in seconds since the epoch, a.k.a. Unix time) when the response has been generated.

Added ✨

• The constructor of psytricks.wrapper.ResTricksWrapper is now doing a connection check to the defined server upon instantiation.
• In addition it was extended by an optional argument verify (defaulting to True) for requesting the server version to be verified against the client version.
• If verify is set to True exceptions will be raised in case the connection check fails or if a version mismatch is detected.

Changed 🏗

• In case the core HTTP request (GET or POST) fails in any of the wrapper methods, the corresponding exception is now re-raised to make this visible to the calling code. Previously only log messages were generated and the exceptions had been silenced explicitly.
• Each HTTP response is now expected to contain a JSON payload. In case the HTTP status code is indicating an issue, the Status attributes of the returned JSON are printed to the log to facilitate debugging.
• The psytricks.wrapper.ResTricksWrapper.perform_poweraction method now returns the details on the power action status of the given machine.

Fixed 🩹

• Citrix status values and PowerShell timestamps are now properly mapped also in psytricks.wrapper.ResTricksWrapper methods. Previously this had been the case in psytricks.wrapper.PSyTricksWrapper methods only.
