1.2.0: 2018-08-22

This is a larger release with some enhancements and bug fixes.

Features Added

• Partial GitHub Apps support. We added the following:
  • GitHub.login_as_app to login using JWT as an Application
  • GitHub.login_as_app_installation to login using a token obtained from an App’s JWT
  • GitHub.app to retrieve an application by its “slug”
  • GitHub.app_installation to retrieve a specific installation by its ID
  • GitHub.app_installations to retrieve all of an App’s installations
  • GitHub.app_installation_for_organization to retrieve an organization’s installation of an App
  • GitHub.app_installation_for_repository to retrieve an installation for a specific repository
  • GitHub.app_installation_for_user to retrieve an installation for a specific user
  • GitHub.authenticated_app to retrieve the metadata for a specific App
  • Not supported as of this release:
    • Installations API
    • List installations for user
    • User-to-server OAuth access token
• Organization Invitations Preview API is now supported. This includes an additional Invitation object. This is the result of hard work by Hal Wine.

• The branch protections API is now completely represented in github3.py.
• We now support the GPG Keys API.

• We now support review requests on Pull Requests.
• We now support the ability for a user to activate their membership in an Organization.
• We now support recurisvely traverse a tree via the API.
• We now support enabling or disabling projects on a Repository.
• We now support editing and reading Repository topics.
• We now support Repository Pull Request merge settings.

Bugs Fixed
