Version 2.x - Breaking Changes
Platform Support Changes
MySQL 5.x and MariaDB 5.x support dropped
MySQL 8.0.13 is now the most recent supported version of MySQL. We don’t explicitly test MariaDB, but 10.x or newer is supported.
Windows 7 Limited Availability support dropped
Windows 10 or newer are supported.
macOS High Sierra Limited Availability support dropped
macOS Mojave or newer are supported.
Deprecated Features
Init functions
The old init(…) functions have been removed. Any existing use of these functions should be converted to initV2(…) functions.
exportCSVEntityReport
The original exportCSVEntityReport function has been removed. Any existing use of this function should be converted to exportCSVEntityReportV2.
Python G2Module Interface
The G2Module.py interface was previously deprecated and is no longer shipped. Any existing use should be converted to the G2Engine interface.
Python G2Audit Interface
The G2Audit Interface has been removed. There is no direct replacement for it as the interface would not scale beyond small record sets. Please contact for support to help migrate any particular use.
Python G2Config Entity Classes
The Python functions for adding and delete Entity Classes were removed. Modifying or adding to the built-in Entity Classes is currently not supported.
Changed Features
CSV Export columns names
The ENTITY_NAME column has been split into ENTITY_DESC and RELATED_ENTITY_NAME for consistency.
JSON Export key names
The ENTITY_NAME key has been renamed to ENTITY_DESC.
searchByAttributes Output
The searchByAttributes output now matches the default output for the searchByAttributesV2 function.
Changed G2Engine flags
The original G2Engine flags turned portions of output on and/or off. This functionality led to inconsistent and unintuitive behavior.
The flags have been overhauled to now consistently add features to the output, so you specify the flags for what you desire to have returned.
There are still composite _DEFAULT_ flags to simplify fulfilling common output needs.
