- Ability to create pre-annotations (limited support)

## [1.2.0] - 2022-05-05

### Changed
- `annotell-base-clients` is now a dependency for `annotell-input-api`, used for http requests and file uploads
- The generator produced by `client.annotation.get_project_annotations` will now reliably iterate projects with thousands of annotations

### Bugfix
- Fixed download of annotations

## [1.1.2] - 2021-12-03

### Changed

- Refactor of `file_resource_client.py`, split upload and download into separate classes.

### Added

- New parameter `timeout` to `InputApiClient`, which decides what the timeout in seconds is for calls to Annotell API:s and Google Cloud Storage.
- Retries when a `ConnectionError` is raised during uploading/downloading of resources to/from Google Cloud Storage.
- New input status `Pending`. An input will have this status if the input has been validated, but the server is waiting for the associated data to
  be uploaded. When all data is uploaded the status of the input will change to `Processing`.

## [1.1.1] - 2021-11-11

### Changed

- Fixed import statement to work with python < 3.9

## [1.1.0] - 2021-11-03

  in the OpenLABEL format. With this change the previous method for fetching annotations,
  `client.annotation.get_annotations` has become deprecated.

- Stricter typing for the calibrations, specifically the camera calibrations. Each of the supported camera calibration models now have their own class in `annotell.input_api.model.calibration.camera`. Documentation regarding use can be found here: [Documentation](https://annotell.github.io/annotell-python/docs/input-api/calibration)
- Field of View support for camera calibrations
- New Parameter Xi for Fisheye camera calibration model

### Changed

- Two constructor arguments in `InputApiClient` and `FileResourceClient` have been renamed from `max_upload_retry_attemps`, `max_upload_retry_wait_time`
  to `max_retry_attempts`, `max_retry_wait_time` respectively.

- The old camera calibration class will be deprecated in favour of the new classes

## [1.0.8] - 2021-09-07

### Added

- A new method has been added, `get_inputs_with_uuids`, which can fetch inputs using only the `input_uuid`.

- `lidars` and `lidars_sequence` inputs now available through the client.
- A new method has been added, `add_annotation_type`, which adds additional annotation types to be performed for an input.

### Changed

- `client.calibration.get_calibration()` now properly deserializes calibration into `SensorCalibrationEntry` instead of keeping it as a dict.

## [1.0.7] - 2021-06-11

### Added

- `created` timestamp when querying `get_inputs`
- Method `get_annotation_types`

### Changed

- `input_list_id` replaced with `annotation_types` for all createable resources (`Cameras`, `CamerasSeq`, `LidarsAndCameras`, `LidarsAndCamerasSeq`).

  `client.project.create_batch` method. Please contact Annotell's Professional Services
  before using. More information available in the [documentation](https://annotell.github.io/annotell-python/).

## [1.0.5] - 2021-05-06

### Changed

- Changed the height/width in the unity calibration created in the examples to match the image/videos.
- Added new field in the Input class, view_link. If the Input was successfully created it will contain an URL to view the input in the Annotell app.

### Bugfixes

- Fixed issue where `invalidate_inputs` did not properly discard response content.

## [1.0.4] - 2021-04-26

### Added

- Added support for providing metadata in the form of a flat KV-pair both on an input-level for all input types, as well as on a frame-level for all sequential input types.

### Changed

  automatically inferred from videos and images.

## [1.0.3] - 2021-04-14

### Added

- Added an example for download_annotations
- Added check so that `input_list_id` and `project` is not used simultaneously when creating inputs

### Changed

- Made client and file_client internal
- Fixed bug where client sometimes didn't raise exception when http calls return error codes

## [0.4.4] - 2021-03-02

- Remove unused dependency on annotell-cloud-storage

## [0.4.3] - 2021-02-16

- Fixed import bug in annoutil CLI tool.

## [0.4.2] - 2021-02-02

### Changed

- Changed url for the `get_calibration_data` method. Does not affect
  usage of the method in any way.

## [0.4.1] - 2021-01-29

### Changed

- Removed unused property `deadline` from project

## [0.4.0] - 2021-01-28

- Behaviour of `get_inputs` has changed. It now receives `project` (identifier, not numerical id anymore), as well as three optional parameters `batch`, `external_ids` and `include_invalidated`. Returns all inputs belonging to the project, with the option of filtering on batch, external ID and whether or not including invalidated inputs. The returned list of classes had additional fields describing which batch each input belongs to, as well as their status (`created`, `processing`, `failed`, `invalidated`).
- Changed name of argument `input_ids` to `input_internal_ids` for method `invalidate_inputs`.
- Use backport of `dataclasses` to support python 3.6.

### Changed

- If the upload of point clouds or images crashes and returns status code 429, 408 or 5xx the script will
  retry the upload before crashing. The default settings may be changed when initializing the `InputApiClient`
  by specifying values to the `max_upload_retry_attempts` and `max_upload_retry_wait_time` parameters.

### Changed

- Changed how timestamps are represented when receiving responses.

## [0.2.2] - 2020-04-17

### Added

- Methods `get_datas_for_inputs_by_internal_ids` and `get_datas_for_inputs_by_external_ids` can be used to get which `Data` are part of an `Input`, useful in order to check which images, lidar-files have been uploaded. Both are also available in the CLI via :

```console
$ annoutil inputs --get-datas <internal_ids>
$ annoutil inputs-externalid --get-datas <external_ids>
```

- Support has been added for `Kannala` camera types. Whenever adding calibration for `Kannala` undistortion coefficients must also be added.
