Release 4.15 (release date: 2015-09-08)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed an OverflowError in apitools that caused download
failures for large files on 32-bit machines.
- Removed unnecessary sending of range headers for downloads when
using the XML API.
- Fixed a bug that caused perfdiag to report extremely high throughput
when the -p flag was unspecified and exactly one of the -c or -k flags
were specified.
- Fixed a ValueError that occurred on Python 2.6 with sliced object downloads.
Other Changes
-------------
- HTTP connections for downloads and uploads in the JSON API are now
re-used per-thread.
- When gsutil's automatic update feature prompts and the user
chooses to update, gsutil will now exit with status code 1 after
updating (because the original command was not executed).
- The cp -A flag is disabled when using gsutil -m to ensure that
ordering is preserved when copying between versioned buckets.
Release 4.14 (release date: 2015-08-24)
=======================================
New Features
------------
- Implemented Sliced Object Download feature.
This breaks up a single large object into multiple pieces and
downloads them in parallel, improving performance. The gsutil cp, mv
and rsync commands now use this by default when compiled crcmod
is available for performing fast end-to-end integrity checks.
If compiled crcmod is not available, normal object download will
be used. Sliced download can be used in conjunction with the global -m
flag for maximum performance to download multiple objects in
parallel while additionally slicing each object.
See the "SLICED OBJECT DOWNLOAD" section of "gsutil help cp" for
details.
Note: sliced download may cause performance degradation for disks
with very slow seek times. You can disable this feature by setting
sliced_object_download_threshold = 0 in your .boto configuration file.
- Added rthru_file and wthru_file test modes to perfdiag, allowing
measurement of reads and writes from a disk. This also allows
measurement of transferring objects too large to fit in memory.
The size restriction of 20GiB has been lifted.
- perfdiag now supports a -p flag to choose a parallelism strategy
(slice, fan, or both) when using multiple threads and/or processes.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed an IOError that could occur in apitools when acquiring credentials
using multiple threads and/or processes on Google Compute Engine.
- Fixed a bug where rm -r would attempt to delete a nonexistent bucket.
- Fixed a bug where a default object ACL could not be set or changed to empty.
- Fixed a bug where cached credentials corresponding to an old account could
be used (for example, credentials associated with a prior .boto
configuration file).
- Fixed a bug in apitools for retrieving byte ranges of size 1 (for example,
"cat -r 1-1 ...")
- Fixed a bug that caused the main gsutil process to perform all work leaving
all gsutil child processes idle.
- Fixed a bug that caused multiple threads not to be used when
multiprocessing was unavailable.
- Fixed a bug that caused rsync to skip files that start with "." when the
-r option was not used.
- Fixed a bug that caused rsync -C to bail out when it failed to read
a source file.
- Fixed a bug where gsutil stat printed unwanted output to stderr.
- Fixed a bug where a parallel composite upload could return a nonzero exit
code even though the upload completed successfully. This occurred if
temporary component deletion triggered a retry but the original request
succeeded.
- Fixed a bug where gsutil would exit with code 0 when both running in
debug mode and encountering an unhandled exception.
- Fixed a bug where gsutil would suggest using parallel composite uploads
multiple times.
Other Changes
-------------
- Bucket removal is now supported even if billing is disabled for that bucket.
- Refactored Windows installs to no longer use any multiprocessing module
functions, as gsutil has never supported multiple processes on Windows.
Multithreading is unaffected and still available on Windows.
- All downloads are now written to a temporary file with a "_.gstmp" suffix
while the download is still in progress.
- Re-hashing of existing bytes when resuming downloads now displays progress.
- Reduced the total number of multiprocessing.Manager processes to two.
- The rm command now correctly counts the number of objects that could
not be removed.
- Increased the default retries to match the Google Cloud Storage SLA.
By default, gsutil will now retry 23 times with exponential backoff up
to 32 seconds, for a total timespan of ~10 minutes.
- Improved bucket subdirectory checks to a single HTTP call. Detection of
_$folder$ placeholder objects is now eventually consistent.
- Eliminated two unnecessary HTTP calls when performing uploads via
the cp, mv, or rsync commands.
- Updated documentation for several topics including acl, cache-control,
crcmod, cp, mb, rsync, and subdirs.
- Added a warning about using parallel composite upload with NEARLINE
storage-class buckets.
Release 4.13 (release date: 2015-06-03)
=======================================
New Features
------------
- Added -U flag to cp and rsync commands to allow skipping of unsupported
object types.

command.
- Fixed an index out of range error that could occur with an empty
parallel composite upload tracker file.
- The stat command outputs errors to stderr instead of stdout.
- Fixed two possible sources of ResumableUploadStartOverException from
httplib2 and oauth2client.
- Fixed a bug in the compose command where a missing source object resulted
in an error message claiming the destination object was missing.
Other Changes
-------------
- Added a help section on throttling gsutil.
- Resumable uploads will now start over if a PUT to the upload ID returns
an HTTP 404. Previously this behavior applied only to an HTTP 410.
- XML API resumable uploads now retry on HTTP 429 errors, matching the
behavior of JSON API resumable uploads.
- Improved response to process kill signals, reducing the likelihood of
leaving orphaned child processes and temporary files.

all copies within the Google Cloud and supports copying objects across
storage classes and/or locations.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed a bug that could cause downloads to have a hash mismatch (and deletion
of the corrupted file) when resumed across process breaks via a tracker file.
Other Changes
-------------
- Updated documentation and examples for several topics including
acl, cp, dev, signurl, stat, and wildcards.
Release 4.11 (release date: 2015-03-10)

operating system.
Other Changes
-------------
- Added documentation around using the Content-MD5 header to extend integrity
checking to include checksums computed by a client-side content pipeline.
Release 4.10 (release date: 2015-03-03)

- Fixed a bug that could cause undetected data corruption (preserving incorrect
data) if a streaming upload encountered a service error on non-8KiB-aligned
boundary.
- Fixed a bug that caused downloads to be truncated if the connection broke,
resulting in a hash mismatch (and deletion of the corrupted file) for that
download.
- Fixed a format string arguments error that occurred if a download exhausted
all retries.
Other Changes
-------------
- The lifecycle command now accepts JSON input in the form of
"{ "lifecycle": { "rule" ..." in addition to "{ "rule": ...".

Release 4.8 (release date: 2015-01-23)
=======================================
New Features
------------
- gsutil now supports HTTP proxy configuration via the http_proxy,
https_proxy, or HTTPS_PROXY environment variables. This configuration
is used only if proxy configuration is not present in the .boto
configuration file.
- gsutil rsync now supports regex-based source and destination URL
exclusion via the -x flag.

- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the progress display to render multiple
times at the end of an upload or download.
Other Changes
-------------
- Resumable uploads of files using the JSON API now send their data in a
single request, making separate HTTP calls only when resuming is necessary.
- The test command now runs tests in parallel by default, and test
parallelism on Windows is now supported.
- All non-streaming downloads are now resumable (and retryable) by default,
regardless of size.
- Canned ACLs and canned default object ACLs are now supported in the JSON
API (previously they would fall back to using the XML API).

New Features
------------
- Tab completion now works on gs:// URLs (for Cloud SDK installs only).
To install via Cloud SDK, see https://cloud.google.com/sdk/#Quick_Start
- Streaming uploads (with source URL "-") using the JSON API now buffer
in-memory up to 100MB, allowing large streams to be retried in the event
of network flakiness or service errors.
- Resumable uploads that receive a fatal service error (typically a 410)

- The rm command now properly supports precondition headers.
- Fixed a bug that caused large streaming uploads to fail with the message
"Failure: length too large" when using the JSON API.
- Fixed a bug that caused JSON lifecycle configurations with createdBefore
conditions to fail with a DecodeError.
Other Changes
-------------
- Byte counts now display accurate abbreviations of binary sizing. For example,
messages previously labeled MB are now properly labeled MiB to indicate
2**20 bytes. Only the labeling changed - the actual sizes were always binary.
- Improved Cloud SDK integration, including improved error messages
and instructions.
- The num_retries .boto configuration value now applies to all requests
(previously it was ignored for JSON API requests).
- rsync now works with non-existent destination subdirectories.
- Raised the default resumable upload threshold from 2MB to 8MB to
improve performance.
- Benign retry messages now print only when debug mode is enabled via the
top-level -d flag.
- The top-level -q flag now suppresses suggestions to use the -m flag.

Other Changes
-------------
- Added the proxy_rdns configuration variable for clients that
do DNS lookups via a proxy.
- Added the state_dir configuration variable for choosing the location of
gsutil's internal state files, including resumable transfer tracker files.
resumable_tracker_dir configuration variable is now deprecated.
- Added DNS, connection latency, and proxy use information to perfdiag
command.
- perfdiag command will not perform DNS lookups if they are disabled in
boto config.
- perfdiag command will now only attempt to delete uploaded objects when
running write tests.
- Added code coverage support to test command.
- rsync -d now succeeds on a 404 for a to-be-deleted object (for example, when
the object was already deleted by an external process).
Release 4.5 (release date: 2014-08-14)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed a bug that caused resumable uploads to restart if gsutil was
terminated with CTRL-C.

-------------
- Parallel composite uploads are now disabled by default until crcmod is
available in major Linux distributions. To re-enable the setting from
prior versions, in the [GSUtil] section of your .boto config file, add:
parallel_composite_upload_threshold=150M
- Non-wildcarded URLs for existing objects now use Get before trying List
(as in gsutil3), and thus are not subject to eventual listing consistency.
- gsutil -D now redacts proxy configuration values in the output.
Release 4.4 (release date: 2014-07-17)
=======================================
New Features
------------
- Added the hash command, which can calculate hashes of local files.
gsutil already calculates hashes for integrity checking, but this allows
the user to separately calculate the MD5 and CRC32c hashes of a local file.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Many improvements to JSON API media transfers, including far
more robust retry logic.
- Fixed "File changed during upload: EOF..." errors on XML resumable uploads.
- Fixed rsync command to read and write index files in binary mode.
- Fix potential TypeError in _CheckAndHandleCredentialException.
- Fixed possible data corruption when using JSON API uploads for
small files with lines starting with "From:", which would cause
integrity checks to fail.
- Fixed gsutil cp to skip directory placeholders when downloading, avoiding
"directory exists where the file needs to be created" errors.

Bug Fixes
---------
- Fix acl/defacl ch changing the role of an existing group.
- Fix unicode and 404 errors when using manifests.
- Fix parallelism configuration bug that limited gsutil rsync to two threads
and could lead to rsync hangs. "gsutil -m rsync" runs much faster, and rsync
uploads of large local files are now faster via parallel composite upload.
Parallel composite uploads of large files are also faster.
- Fix rsync bug with parallel composite uploads.
- Fix TypeError that could occur when running the cp command with no
credentials.
Other Changes
-------------
- Progress indicators for -m cp/rsync commands are now more readable.

Release 4.1 (release date: 2014-05-28)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed a bug in parallel composite uploads where uploads with
existing components would fail.
- Moved gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin to version 1.5, fixing a bug in the PyPi gsutil
distribution that would cause gsutil to unnecessarily attempt to query
the Google Compute Engine metadata service.
Other Changes
-------------
- Parallel composite uploads no longer specify an if-not-match precondition
when uploading component parts.
- Parallel composite uploads no longer calculate a CRC32c hash prior to
uploading component parts (these are still validated by an MD5 hash).
- Removed apitools dependency on gflags.
Release 4.0 (release date: 2014-05-27)
=======================================
Major New Gsutil Version - Backwards-Incompatible Changes
------------------------------
- The Google Cloud Storage configuration data supported by the acl, cors,
and lifecycle commands now uses the JSON format instead of the older XML
format. gsutil 4.0 will fail and provide conversion instructions if an XML
configuration file is provided as an argument for a gs:// URL.
- gsutil no longer accepts arbitrary headers via the global -h flag.
Documented headers for gsutil commands are still supported; for the
full list of supported headers, see "gsutil help command_opts".
- The compose command will now default the destination object's
Content-Type to the Content-Type of the first source object if none
is provided via the -h global flag.
- The long-deprecated -t and -q options have been removed from the cp command.
- The perfdiag command no longer supports adding a host header.
- Having OAuth2 User Account credentials and OAuth2 Service Account
credentials configured simultaneously will now fail with an error message
to avoid confusion. Also, a single invalid credential will fail with an
error message. See "gsutil help creds" for details.
- Bucket relocate scripts have been removed.
- Downloading object names ending with '/' is no longer supported to avoid
problems this caused for directores using the Google Cloud Console.
- rm -r now implies rm -ra (removing all object versions recursively).
- All commands using the global -m option or a force option (such as
rm -f or cp -c) will now return a non-zero exit code if there are any
failures during the operation.
- MD5 and CRC32c values are now represented in base64 encoding instead
of hex encoding (this includes manifest files).
New Features
------------
- The Google Cloud Storage JSON API (v1) is now the default API used
by gsutil for all commands targeting gs:// URLs. The JSON API is more
bandwidth efficient than the older XML API when transferring metadata
and does not require separate calls to preserve object ACLs when copying.
The XML API will automatically be used when accessing s3:// URLs.
- The Google Cloud Storage XML API can be used in lieu of the JSON API
by setting 'prefer_api = xml' in the GSUtil section of your boto config file.
- Added the rsync command that can synchronize cloud and local directories.
- Added the signurl command that can generate Google Cloud Storage signed URLs.
- The perfdiag command now supports a listing latency test.
- The rb command now supports a -f flag allowing it to continue when errors
are encountered.
- The test command now supports a -s flag that runs tests against S3.
Other Changes
-------------
- All python files not under a third_party directory are now pylint-clean,
with the exception of TODO-format and a handful of warnings in root-level
files. As part of the de-linting process, many edge-case bugs were
identified and fixed.
- The ls command now operates depth-first (as in Unix ls) instead
of breadth-first.
- Daisy-chain copying does not currently support resumable uploads.
- Several compatibility improvements for Windows and S3.

Release 3.34 (release-date: 2013-07-18)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed a bug where the no-op authentication handler was being loaded after
other authentication plugins, causing the no-op handler to be chosen instead
of other valid credentials.
Release 3.33 (release-date: 2013-07-16)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Added .git* to MANIFEST.in excludes and fixed cp doc typo. This was needed to
overcome problem caused by accidental inclusion of .git* files in release,
which caused the update command no longer to allow updates (since starting
in 3.32 it checks whether the user has any extraneous files in the gsutil
directory before updating)
Release 3.32 (release-date: 2013-07-16)
=======================================
New Features
------------
- Added support for getting and setting lifecycle configuration for buckets.
- Implemented Parallel Composite Uploads.
- Added a new du command that displays object size, similar to Linux du.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed a bug when using ls -R on objects with trailing slashes. Closes #93.
- Fixed so won't crash in perfdiag when nslookup is missing or gethostbyname
fails.
- Smartly compare version strings during autoupdate check.
- Made header handling for upload case-insensitive.
- Re-enabled software update check for users with no credentials configured.
- Fixed incorrectly-generated password editing comment in service account
config. Fixes #146.
Other Changes
-------------
- Improved flow when encounter auth failure for GCE service account with no
configured storage scopes:
1. Changed HasConfiguredCredentials() logic not to include
has_auth_plugins as part of the evaluated expression, since that will
always evaluate to true under GCE (since GCE configures its internal
service account plugin under /etc/boto.cfg).
2. Changed ConfigureNoOpAuthIfNeeded logic so we configure no-op auth
plugin even if there is a config_file list, since GCE always configures
/etc/boto.cfg, even if user has no storage scopes configured.
3. Additional changes:
a. Removed assertion of oauth access token cache check log from
test_Doption.py, which may not be true sometimes (e.g., if user is
using HMAC creds).
b. Removed remnants of CONFIG_REQUIRED left over from earlier CL.
c. Merged dupe _ConfigureNoOpAuthIfNeeded functions from two code files,
moved to util.py.
- Fixed confusing gsutil rm "Omitting" message.

Release 3.26 (release-date: 2013-03-25)
=======================================
New Features
------------
- Added support for object composition.
- Added support for external service accounts.
- Changed gsutil to check for available updates periodically (only while
stdin, stderr, stdout are connected to a TTY, so as not to interfere with
cron jobs).
- Added chdefacl command.
- Made gsutil built-in help available under
https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil

AllAuthenticatedUsers group from an ACL.
Other Changes
-------------
- Refactored gsutil main function into gslib, with gsutil being a thin
wrapper.
- Added a test for the update command.
- Renamed gsutil meta_generation params to metageneration, for consistency
with GCS docs.
- Removed .pyc files from tarball/zipfile.
- Added new root certs to cacerts.txt, to provide additional flexibility
in the future.
Release 3.25 (release-date: 2013-02-21)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed two version-specific URI bugs:
1. gsutil cp -r gs://bucket1 gs://bucket2 would create objects in bucket2
with names corresponding to version-specific URIs in bucket1 (e.g.,
gs://bucket2/obj#1361417568482000, where the "#1361417568482000" part was
part of the object name, not the object's generation).
This problem similarly caused gsutil cp -r gs://bucket1 ./dir to create
files names corresponding to version-specific URIs in bucket1.
2. gsutil rm -a gs://bucket/obj would attempt to delete the same object
twice, getting a NoSuchKey error on the second attempt.
Release 3.24 (release-date: 2013-02-19)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed bug that caused attempt to dupe-encode a unicode filename.
Other Changes
-------------
- Refactored retry logic from setmeta and chacl to use @Retry decorator.
- Moved @Retry decorator to third_party.
- Fixed flaky tests.
Release 3.23 (release-date: 2013-02-16)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Make version-specific URI parsing more robust. This fixes a bug where
listing buckets in certain cases would result in the error
'BucketStorageUri' object has no attribute 'version_specific_uri'
Release 3.22 (release-date: 2013-02-15)
=======================================
New Features
------------
- Implemented new chacl command, which makes it easy to add and remove bucket
and object ACL grants without having to edit XML (like the older setacl
command).
- Implemented new "daisy-chain" copying mode, which allows cross-provider
copies to run without buffering to local disk, and to use resumable uploads.
This copying mode also allows copying between locations and between storage
classes, using the new gsutil cp -D option. (Daisy-chain copying is the
default when copying between providers, but must be explicitly requested for
the other cases to keep costs and performance expectations clear.)
- Implemented new perfdiag command to run a diagnostic test against
a bucket, collect system information, and report results. Useful
when working with Google Cloud Storage team to resolve questions
about performance.
- Added SIGQUIT (^\) handler, to allow breakpointing a running gsutil.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed bug where gsutil setwebcfg signature didn't match with
HMAC authentication.
- Fixed ASCII codec decode error when constructing tracker filename
from non-7bit ASCII input filename.
- Changed boto auth plugin framework to allow multiple plugins
supporting requested capability, which fixes gsutil exception
that used to happen where a GCE user had a service account
configured and then ran gsutil config.
- Changed Command.Apply method to be resilient to name expansion
exceptions. Before this change, if an exception was raised
during iteration of NameExpansionResult, the parent process
would immediately stop execution, causing the
_EOF_NAME_EXPANSION_RESULT to never be sent to child processes.
This resulted in the process hanging forever.
- Fixed various bugs for gsutil running on Windows:
- Fixed various places from a hard-coded '/' to os.sep.
- Fixed a bug in the cp command where it was using the destination
URI's .delim property instead of the source URI.
- Fixed a bug in the cp command's _SrcDstSame function by
simplifying it to use os.path.normpath.
- Fixed windows bug in tests/util.py _NormalizeURI function.
- Fixed ZeroDivisionError sometimes happening during unit tests
on Windows.
- Fixed gsutil rm bug that caused exit status 1 when encountered
non-existent URI.
- Fixed support for gsutil cp file -.
- Added preconditions and retry logic to setmeta command, to
enforce concurrency control.
- Fixed bug in copying subdirs to subdirs.
- Fixed cases where boto debug_level caused too much or too little
logging:
- resumable and one-shot uploads weren't showing response headers
when connection.debug > 0.
- payload was showing up in debug output when connection.debug
< 4 for streaming uploads.
- Removed XML parsing from setacl. The previous implementation
relied on loose XML handling, which could truncate what it sends
to the service, allowing invalid XML to be specified by the
user. Instead now the ACL XML is passed verbatim and we rely
on server-side schema enforcement.
- Added user-agent header to resumable uploads.
- Fixed reporting bits/s when it was really bytes/s.
- Changed so we now pass headers with API version & project ID
to create_bucket().
- Made "gsutil rm -r gs://bucket/folder" remove xyz_$folder$ object
(which is created by various GUI tools).
- Fixed bug where gsutil binary was shipped with protection 750
instead of 755.
Other Changes
-------------
- Reworked versioned object handling:
- Removed need for commands to specify -v option to parse
versions. Versioned URIs are now uniformly handled by all
commands.
- Refactored StorageUri parsing that had been split across
storage_uri and convenience; made versioned URIs render with
version string so StorageUri is round-trippable (boto change).
- Implemented gsutil cp -v option for printing the version-specific
URI that was just created.
- Added error detail for attempt to delete non-empty versioned
bucket. Also added versioning state to ls -L -b gs://bucket
output.
- Changed URI parsing to use pre-compiled regex's.
- Other bug fixes.
- Rewrote/deepened/improved various parts of built-in help:
- Updated 'gsutil help dev'.
- Fixed help command handling when terminal does not have the
number of rows set.
- Rewrote versioning help.
- Added gsutil help text for common 403 AccountProblem error.
- Added text to 'gsutil help dev' about legal agreement needed
with code submissions.
- Fixed various other typos.
- Updated doc for cp command regarding metadata not being
preserved when copying between providers.
- Fixed gsutil ls command documentation typo for the -L option.
- Added HTTP scheme to doc/examples for gsutil setcors command.
- Changed minimum version in documentation from 2.5 to 2.6 since
gsutil no longer works in Python 2.5.
- Cleaned up/clarify/deepen various other parts of gsutil
built-in documentation.
- Numerous improvements to testing infrastructure:
- Completely refactored infrastructure, allowing deeper testing
and more readable test code, and enabling better debugging
output when tests fail.
- Moved gslib/test_*.py unit tests to gslib/tests module.
- Made all tests (unit and integration, per-command and modules
(like naming) run from single gsutil test command.
- Moved TempDir functions from GsUtilIntegrationTestCase to
GsUtilTestCase.
- Made test runner message show the test function being run.
- Added file path support to ObjectToURI function.
- Disabled the test command if running on Python 2.6 and unittest2
is not available instead of breaking all of gsutil.
- Changed to pass GCS V2 API and project_id from boto config
if necessary in integration_testcase#CreateBucket().
- Fixed unit tests by using a GS-specific mocking class to
override the S3 provider.
- Added friendlier error message if test path munging fails.
- Fixed bug where gsutil test only cleaned up first few test files.
- Implemented setacl integration tests.
- Implemented StorageUri parsing unit tests.
- Implemented test for gsutil cp -D.
- Implemented setacl integration tests.
- Implemented tests for reading and seeking past end of file.
- Implemented and tests for it in new tests module.
- Changed cp tests that don't specify a Content-Type to check
for new binary/octet-stream default instead of server-detected
mime type.
- Changed gsutil mv to allow moving local files/dirs to the cloud.
Previously this was disallowed in the belief we should be
conservative about deleting data from local disk but there are
legitimate use cases for moving data from a local dir to the
cloud, it's clear to the user this would remove data from the
local disk, and allowing it makes the tool behavior more
consistent with what users would expect.
- Changed gsutil update command to insist on is_secure and
https_validate_certificates.
- Fixed release no longer to include extraneous boto dirs in
top-level of gsutil distribution (like bin/ and docs/).
- Changed resumable upload threshold from 1 MB to 2 MB.
- Removed leftover cloudauth and cloudreader dirs. Sample code
now lives at https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform.
- Updated copyright notice on code files.
Release 3.21 (release-date: 2012-12-10)

version parsing (-v option for cp and cat commands).
Other Changes
-------------
- Updated docs about using setmeta with versioning enabled.
- Changed GCS endpoint in boto to storage.googleapis.com.
Release 3.20 (release-date: 2012-11-30)

Release 3.18 (release-date: 2012-09-19)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed resumable upload boundary condition when handling POST request
when server already has complete file, which resulted in an infinite
loop that consumed 100% of the CPU.
- Fixed one more place that outputted progress info when gsutil cp -q
specified (during streaming uploads).
Other Changes
-------------
- Updated help text for "gsutil help setmeta" and "gsutil help metadata", to
clarify and deepen parts of the documentation.
Release 3.17 (release-date: 2012-08-17)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed race condition when multiple threads attempt to get an OAuth2 refresh
token concurrently.
Other Changes
-------------
- Implemented simplified syntax for setmeta command. The old syntax still
works but is now deprecated.
- Added help to gsutil cp -z option, to describe how to change where temp
files are written.
Release 3.16 (release-date: 2012-08-13)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Added info to built-in help for setmeta command, to explain the syntax
needed when running from Windows.
Release 3.15 (release-date: 2012-08-12)
=======================================
New Features
------------
- Implemented gsutil setmeta command.
- Made gsutil understand bucket subdir conventions used by various tools
(like GCS Manager and CloudBerry) so if you cp or mv to a subdir you
created with one of those tools it will work as expected.
- Added support for Windows drive letter-prefaced paths when using Storage
URIs.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed performance bug when downloading a large object with Content-
Encoding:gzip, where decompression attempted to load the entire object
in memory. Also added "Uncompressing" log output if file is larger than
50M, to make it clear the download hasn't stalled.
- Fixed naming bug when performing gsutil mv from a bucket subdir to
and existing bucket subdir.
- Fixed bug that caused cross-provider copies into Google Cloud Storage to
fail.
- Made change needed to make resumable transfer progress messages not print
when running gsutil cp -q.
- Fixed copy/paste error in config file documentation for
https_validate_certificates option.
- Various typo fixes.
Other Changes
-------------
- Changed gsutil to unset http_proxy environment variable if it's set,
because it confuses boto. (Proxies should instead be configured via the
boto config file.)
Release 3.14 (release-date: 2012-07-28)
=======================================
New Features
------------
- Added cp -q option, to support quiet operation from cron jobs.
- Made config command restore backed up file if there was a failure or user
hits ^C.
Bug Fixes

- Revert incorrect line I changed in previous CL, that attempted to
get fp from src_key object. The real fix that's needed is described in
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil/issues/72.
Other Changes
-------------
- Changed logging to print "Copying..." and Content-Type on same line;
refactored content type and log handling.
Release 3.13 (release-date: 2012-07-19)
=======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Included the fix to make 'gsutil config' honor BOTO_CONFIG environment
variable (which was intended to be included in Release 3.12)
Release 3.11 (release-date: 2012-06-28)
=======================================
New Features
------------
- Added support for configuring website buckets.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed bug that caused simultaneous resumable downloads of the same source
object to use the same tracker file.

======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed bug that caused extra "file:/" to be included in pathnames with
doing gsutil cp -R on Windows.
Release 3.8 (release-date: 2012-05-20)
======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed problem with non-ASCII filename characters not setting encoding before
attempting to hash for generating resumable transfer filename.
Release 3.7 (release-date: 2012-05-11)
======================================

Release 3.6 (release-date: 2012-05-09)
======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed bug that caused wildcards spanning directories not to work.
- Fixed bug that gsutil cp -z not to find available tmp space correctly
under Windows.
Release 3.5 (release-date: 2012-04-30)
======================================
Performance Improvement
-----------------------
- Change by Evan Worley to calculate MD5s incrementally during uploads and
downloads. This reduces overall transfer time substantially for large
objects.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed bug where uploading and moving multiple files to a bucket subdirectory
didn't work as intended.
(https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil/issues/92).
- Fixed bug where gsutil cp -r sourcedir didn't copy to specified subdir
if there is only one file in sourcedir.
- Fixed bug where tracker file included a timestamp that caused it not to
be recognized across sessions.
- Fixed bug where gs://bucket/*/dir wildcard matches too many objects.
- Fixed documentation errors in help associated with ACLs and projects.
- Changed GCS ACL parsing to be case-insensitive.
- Changed ls to print error and exit with non-0 status when wildcard matches
nothing, to be more consistent with UNIX shell behavior.
Release 3.4 (release-date: 2012-04-06)
======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed problem where resumable uploads/downloads of objects with very long
names would generate tracking files with names that exceeded local file
system limits, making it impossible to complete resumable transfers for
those objects. Solution was to build the tracking file name from a fixed
prefix, SHA1 hash of the long filename, epoch timestamp and last 16
chars of the long filename, which is guarantee to be a predictable and
reasonable length.
- Fixed minor bug in output from 'gsutil help dev' which advised executing
an inconsequential test script (test_util.py).
Release 3.3 (release-date: 2012-04-03)
======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed problem where gsutil ver and debug flags crashed when used
with newly generated boto config files.
- Fixed gsutil bug in windows path handling, and make checksumming work
across platforms.
- Fixed enablelogging to translate -b URI param to plain bucket name in REST
API request.
Release 3.2 (release-date: 2012-03-30)
======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fixed problem where gsutil didn't convert between OS-specific directory
separators when copying individually-named files (issue 87).
- Fixed problem where gsutil ls -R didn't work right if there was a key
with a leading path (like /foo/bar/baz)
Release 3.1 (release-date: 2012-03-20)
======================================
Bug Fixes
---------
- Removed erroneous setting of Content-Encoding when a gzip file is uploaded
(vs running gsutil cp -z, when Content-Encoding should be set). This
error caused users to get gsutil.tar.gz file uncompressed by the user
agent (like wget) while downloading, making the file appear to be of the
wrong size/content.
- Fixed handling of gsutil help for Windows (previous code depended on
termios and fcntl libs, which are Linux/MacOS-specific).
Release 3.0 (release-date: 2012-03-20)
======================================
Important Notes
---------------
- Backwards-incompatible wildcard change:
The '*' wildcard now only matches objects within a bucket directory. If
you have scripts that depend on being able to match spanning multiple
directories you need to use '**' instead. For example, the command:
gsutil cp gs://bucket/*.txt
will now only match .txt files in the top-level directory.
gsutil cp gs://bucket/**.txt
will match across all directories.
- gsutil ls now lists one directory at a time. If you want to list all objects
in a bucket, you can use:
gsutil ls gs://bucket/**
or:
gsutil ls -R gs://bucket
New Features
------------
- Built-in help for all commands and many additional topics. Try
"gsutil help" for a list of available commands and topics.
- A new hierarchical file tree abstraction layer, which makes the flat bucket
name space look like a hierarchical file tree. This makes several things
possible:
- copying data to/from bucket sub-directories (see “gsutil help cp”).
- distributing large uploads/downloads across many machines
(see “gsutil help cp”)
- renaming bucket sub-directories (see “gsutil help mv”).
- listing individual bucket sub-directories and for listing directories
recursively (see “gsutil help ls”).
- setting ACLs for objects in a sub-directory (see “gsutil help setacl”).
- Support for per-directory (*) and recursive (**) wildcards. Essentially,
** works the way * did in previous gsutil releases, and * now behaves
consistently with how it works in command interpreters (like bash). The
ability to specify directory-only wildcards also enables a number of use
cases, such as distributing large uploads/downloads by wildcarded name. See
"gsutil help wildcards" for details.
- Support for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) configuration. See "gsutil
help cors" for details.
- Support for multi-threading and recursive operation for setacl command
(see “gsutil help setacl”).
- Ability to use the UNIX 'file' command to do content type recognition as
an alternative to filename extensions.
- Introduction of new end-to-end test suite.
- The gsutil version command now computes a checksum of the code, to detect
corruption and local modification when assisting with technical support.
- The gsutil update command is no longer beta/experimental, and now also
supports updating from named URIs (for early/test releases).
- Changed gsutil ls -L to also print Content-Disposition header.
Bug Fixes
---------
- The gsutil cp -t option previously didn't work as documented, and instead
Content-Type was always detected based on filename extension. Content-Type
detection is now the default, the -t option is deprecated (to be removed in
the future), and specifying a -h Content-Type header now correctly overrides
the filename extension based handling. For details see "gsutil help
metadata".
- Fixed bug that caused multi-threaded mv command not to percolate failures
during the cp phase to the rm phase, which could under some circumstances
cause data that was not copied to be deleted.
- Fixed bug that caused gsutil to use GET for ls -L requests. It now uses HEAD
for ls -L requests, which is more efficient and faster.
- Fixed bug that caused gsutil not to preserve metadata during
copy-in-the-cloud.
- Fixed bug that prevented setacl command from allowing DisplayName's in ACLs.
- Fixed bug that caused gsutil/boto to suppress consecutive slashes in path
names.
- Fixed spec-non-compliant URI construction for resumable uploads.
- Fixed bug that caused rm -f not to work.
- Fixed UnicodeEncodeError that happened when redirecting gsutil ls output
to a file with non-ASCII object names.
Other Changes
-------------
- UserAgent sent in HTTP requests now includes gsutil version number and OS
name.
- Starting with this release users are able to get individual named releases
from version-named objects: gs://pub/gsutil_<version>.tar.gz
and gs://pub/gsutil_<version>.zip. The version-less counterparts
(gs://pub/gsutil.tar.gz and gs://pub/gsutil.zip) will contain the latest
release. Also, the gs://pub bucket is now publicly readable (so, anyone
can list its contents).
Release 2.0 (release-date: 2012-01-13)
======================================
New Features
------------
- Support for for two new installation modes: enterprise and RPM.
Customers can now install gsutil one of three ways:
- Individual user mode (previously the only available mode): unpacking from
a gzipped tarball (gs://pub/gsutil.tar.gz) or zip file
(gs://pub/gsutil.zip) and running the gsutil command in place in the
unpacked gsutil directory.
- Enterprise mode (new): unpacking as above, and then running the setup.py
script in the unpacked gsutil directory. This allows a systems
administrator to install gsutil in a central location, using the Python
distutils facility. This mode is supported only on Linux and MacOS.
- RPM mode (new). A RedHat RPM can be built from the gsutil.spec.in file
in the unpacked gsutil directory, allowing it to be installed as part of
a RedHat build.
- Note: v2.0 is the first numbered gsutil release. Previous releases
were given timestamps for versions. Numbered releases enable downstream
package builds (like RPMs) to define dependencies more easily.
This is also the first version where we began including release notes.
