v4.8.0

Added

• The SDK now supports use of orjson as an alternative JSON encoder and decoder. When orjson is installed, the SDK will automatically use it in place of the stdlib json module. (#1385)

• RequestsTransport objects are now visible via RequestsTransport.get_current_transport(), a staticmethod, while the transport is sending a request or being used to handle a response. This method raises a LookupError if there is no currently active transport. (#1385)

• The request encoders defined in globus_sdk.transport have been refactored into RequestsRepresentationProvider\s, objects responsible for encoding and decoding requests data in specific formats. In order to retain compatibility, they are still available aliased under their previous names, as "encoders". (#1385)

Removed

• The pinned field was removed from the experimental BookmarkCreateDocument and BookmarkUpdateDocument classes to align with the API, which does not support the field.

Deprecated

• The RequestsTransport class supports configuration of request encoding via a class-variable mapping, encoders. This limits the ability of the SDK to apply per-object customizations, as in the case of orjson support. The class variable encoders is deprecated. Users who wish to customize request encoding and response decoding should leverage the new representation_providers instance variable instead.

• The globus_sdk.transport.encoders module is deprecated. Use globus_sdk.transport.representation_providers instead.
