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.

• We now support enabling or disabling projects on a Repository.

• We now support editing and reading Repository topics.

Bugs Fixed
