CHANGELOG.md

0.6.0

Improvements:

• Ability to use map[string]any as a type for encoding XML-RPC <struct> (#92 with original contribution from @gustavs ).
• Ability to use a shortcut argument by passing map[string]any without wrapping it in a struct{} when a single argument of type <struct> is expected.

0.5.3

Bugfixes:

• Decoding an <array> of mixed types that contains another set of nested <array> (with equally mixed types) (#86). Outer slice would need to be defined as []any and it's up to the user to cast the inner values (including nested slices) to the desired/expected type.

0.5.2

Bugfixes:

• Decoding a <struct> that is nested in <array> with variable types (e.g mix of ints, bool, string and structs) (#84). Structs will be decoded into a map[string]any type, as it's not possible to decode.

0.5.1

Bugfixes:

• Handling of empty values while decoding responses (#80).
  Library will now properly handle empty values for <string>, <int>, <i4>, <boolean>, <double>, <dateTime.iso8601>, <base64> and <array> (with case of <data />). As <struct> may not have an empty list of <member> elements as per specification. Similarly <array/> is considered invalid.

0.5.0

Improvements:

• Ability to decode struct members into a map.

0.4.1

Bugfixes:

• Adding missing handling of undeclared value types to default to string as per XML-RPC spec (previously nil would be returned)

Library is now built against Go 1.21

0.4.0

Improvements:

• Ability to remap struct member names to via xmlrpc tags (#47)
• Ability to skip unknown fields by SkipUnknownFields(bool) Option. Default is still false (#48)

Library is now built against Go 1.19

0.3.0

Improvements:

• Fixes go routine leak that is caused by Codec (#52)
• A bit more robust tests that do not call remote systems
• House keeping: dependency updates, no longer using deprecated methods in Go, making linter happier..

Library is now built against Go 1.18

0.2.0

Improvements:

• NewClient supports receiving a list of Options that modify clients behavior.
  Initial supported options are:

  • HttpClient(*http.Client) - set custom http.Client to be used
  • Headers(map[string]string) - set custom headers to use in every request (kudos: @Nightapes)
  • UserAgent(string) - set User-Agent identification to be used (#6). This is a shortcut for just setting User-Agent custom header

Deprecations:

• NewCustomClient is deprecated in favor of NewClient(string, ...Option) with HttpClient(*http.Client) option. This method will be removed in future versions.

0.1.2

Improvements to parsing logic for responses:

• If response struct members are in snake-case - Go struct should have member in camel-case
• It is now possible to use type aliases when decoding a response (#1)
• It is now possible to use pointers to fields, without getting an error (#2)

0.1.1

Mainly documentation and internal refactoring:

• Made Encoder and Decoder into interfaces with corresponding StdEncoder / StdDecoder.
• Removal of intermediate objects in Codec

0.1.0

Initial release version of XML-RPC client.

• Support for all XML-RPC types both encoding and decoding.
• A client implementation based on net/rpc for familiar interface.
• No external dependencies (except testing code dependencies)
