# Release Notes

- v3.3.0(October 10,2023)

  - Updated to Apache arrow-nanoarrow project for result arrow data conversion.
  - Introduced the `NANOARROW_USAGE` environment variable to allows switching between the nanoarrow converter and the arrow converter. Valid values include:
    - `FOLLOW_SESSION_PARAMETER`, which uses the converter configured in the server.
    - `DISABLE_NANOARROW`, which uses arrow converter, overriding the server setting.
    - `ENABLE_NANOARROW`, which uses the nanoarrow converter, overriding the server setting.
  - Introduced the `snowflake.connector.cursor.NanoarrowUsage` enum, whose members include:
    - `NanoarrowUsage.FOLLOW_SESSION_PARAMETER`, which uses the converter configured in the server.
    - `NanoarrowUsage.DISABLE_NANOARROW`, which uses arrow converter, overriding the server setting.
    - `NanoarrowUsage.ENABLE_NANOARROW`, which uses the nanoarrow converter, overriding the server setting.
  - Introduced the `snowflake.connector.cursor.NANOARROW_USAGE` module variable to allow switching between the nanoarrow converter and the arrow converter. It works in conjunction with the `snowflake.connector.cursor.NanoarrowUsage` enum.
  - The newly-introduced environment variable, enum, and module variable are temporary. They will be removed in a future release when switch from arrow to nanoarrow for data conversion is complete.

  - Added thread safety in telemetry when instantiating multiple connections concurrently.
  - Bumped platformdirs dependency from >=2.6.0,<3.9.0 to >=2.6.0,<4.0.0.0 and made necessary changes to allow this.
  - Removed the deprecation warning from the vendored urllib3 about urllib3.contrib.pyopenssl deprecation.
  - Improved robustness in handling authentication response.

- v3.2.0(September 06,2023)

  - Made the ``parser`` -> ``manager`` renaming more consistent in ``snowflake.connector.config_manager`` module.
  - Added support for default values for ConfigOptions
  - Added default_connection_name to config.toml file

- v3.1.1(August 28,2023)

  - Fixed a bug in retry logic for okta authentication to refresh token.
  - Support `RSAPublicKey` when constructing `AuthByKeyPair` in addition to raw bytes.
  - Fixed a bug when connecting through SOCKS5 proxy, the attribute `proxy_header` is missing on `SOCKSProxyManager`.
  - Cherry-picked https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/commit/fd2759aa16b12b33298900c77d29b3813c6582de onto vendored urllib3 (v1.26.15) to enable enforce_content_length by default.
  - Fixed a bug in tag generation of OOB telemetry event.

- v3.1.0(July 31,2023)

  - Added a feature that lets you add connection definitions to the `connections.toml` configuration file. A connection definition refers to a collection of connection parameters, for example, if you wanted to define a connection named `prod``:

    ```toml
    [prod]
    account = "my_account"
    user = "my_user"
    password = "my_password"
    ```
    By default, we look for the `connections.toml` file in the location specified in the `SNOWFLAKE_HOME` environment variable (default: `~/.snowflake`). If this folder does not exist, the Python connector looks for the file in the [platformdirs](https://github.com/platformdirs/platformdirs/blob/main/README.rst) location, as follows:

    - On Linux: `~/.config/snowflake/`,  but follows XDG settings
    - On Mac: `~/Library/Application Support/snowflake/`
    - On Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\snowflake\`

    You can determine which file is used by running the following command:

    ```
    python -c "from snowflake.connector.constants import CONNECTIONS_FILE; print(str(CONNECTIONS_FILE))"
    ```
  - Bumped cryptography dependency from <41.0.0,>=3.1.0 to >=3.1.0,<42.0.0.

  - Remove Python 3.7 support.
  - Worked around a segfault which sometimes occurred during cache serialization in multi-threaded scenarios.
  - Improved error handling of connection reset error.

  - Multi-statement query execution is now supported through `cursor.execute` and `cursor.executemany`
    - The Snowflake parameter `MULTI_STATEMENT_COUNT` can be altered at the account, session, or statement level. An additional argument, `num_statements`, can be provided to `execute` to use this parameter at the statement level. It *must* be provided to `executemany` to submit a multi-statement query through the method. Note that bulk insert optimizations available through `executemany` are not available when submitting multi-statement queries.
      - By default the parameter is 1, meaning only a single query can be submitted at a time
      - Set to 0 to submit any number of statements in a multi-statement query
      - Set to >1 to submit the specified exact number of statements in a multi-statement query
    - Bindings are accepted in the same way for multi-statements as they are for single statement queries
    - Asynchronous multi-statement query execution is supported. Users should still use `get_results_from_sfqid` to retrieve results
    - To access the results of each query, users can call `SnowflakeCursor.nextset()` as specified in the DB 2.0 API (PEP-249), to iterate through each statements results
      - The first statement's results are accessible immediately after calling `execute` (or `get_results_from_sfqid` if asynchronous) through the existing `fetch*()` methods

- v1.0.6 (Mar 15, 2016)

    - Upgraded ``cryptography`` to 1.2.3.
    - Added support for ``TIME`` data type, which is now a Snowflake supported data type. This feature requires a server upgrade.
    - Added ``snowflake.connector.DistCursor`` to fetch the results in ``dict`` instead of ``tuple``.
    - Added compression to the SQL text and commands.

- v1.0.5 (Mar 1, 2016)

    - Upgraded ``cryptography`` to 1.2.2 and ``cffi`` to 1.5.2.
    - Fixed the conversion from ``TIMESTAMP_LTZ`` to datetime in queries.

- v1.0.4 (Feb 15, 2016)

    - Fixed the truncated parallel large result set.
    - Added retry OpenSSL low level errors ``ETIMEDOUT`` and ``ECONNRESET``.
    - Time out all HTTPS requests so that the Python Connector can retry the job or recheck the status.
    - Fixed the location of encrypted data for ``PUT`` command. They used to be in the same directory as the source data files.
    - Added support for renewing the AWS token used in ``PUT`` commands if the token expires.

- v1.0.3 (Jan 13, 2016)

    - Added support for the ``BOOLEAN`` data type (i.e. ``TRUE`` or ``FALSE``). This changes the behavior of the binding for the ``bool`` type object:

        - Previously, ``bool`` was bound as a numeric value (i.e. ``1`` for ``True``, ``0`` for ``False``).
        - Now, ``bool`` is bound as native SQL data (i.e. ``TRUE`` or ``FALSE``).

    - Added the ``autocommit`` method to the ``Connection`` object:

        - By default, ``autocommit`` mode is ON (i.e. each DML statement commits the change).
        - If ``autocommit`` mode is OFF, the ``commit`` and ``rollback`` methods are enabled.

    - Avoid segfault issue for ``cryptography`` 1.2 in Mac OSX by using 1.1 until resolved.

- v1.0.2 (Dec 15, 2015)

    - Upgraded ``boto3`` 1.2.2, ``botocore`` 1.3.12.
    - Removed ``SSLv3`` mapping from the initial table.

- v1.0.1 (Dec 8, 2015)

    - Minor bug fixes.

- v1.0.0 (Dec 1, 2015)

    - General Availability release.
