History

v5.0.0

14 Feb 2021

  • Rewrote object model to load objects more automatically. API is mostly compatible, but there may be some rare uses that may need some adjustment. In particular, access to ‘children’ properties (‘pods’, ‘subpods’, ‘assumptions’, ‘warnings’) are exposed as loaded through their singular names (without transforms or defaults) but exposed as iterable (empty by default) through the plural names.
