2.28.0

New Functionality

• The multi-user endpoint now saves user-endpoint standard file streams (aka stdout and stderr) to the UEP's endpoint.log. This makes it much easier to identity implementation missteps that affect the early UEP boot process, before the UEP's logging is bootstrapped.

• The SDK Client and WebClient now support using a GlobusApp for authentication. For standard interactive login flows, users can leave the app argument blank when initializing the Client, or pass in a custom UserApp. For client authentication, users can leave the app argument blank and set the GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_ID and GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables, or pass in a custom ClientApp.

  For more information on how to use a GlobusApp, see the Globus SDK documentation.

  Users can still pass in a custom LoginManager to the login_manager argument, but this is mutually exclusive with the app argument.

  E.g.,

   from globus_compute_sdk import Client
   from globus_sdk.experimental.globus_app import UserApp
  
   gcc = Client()
  
   # or
  
   my_app = UserApp("my-app", client_id="...")
   gcc = Client(app=my_app)

• Added a new data serialization strategy, JSONData, which serializes/deserializes function args and kwargs via JSON. Usage example:

  from globus_compute_sdk import Client, Executor
  from globus_compute_sdk.serialize import JSONData
  
  gcc = Client(
      data_serialization_strategy=JSONData()
  )
  
  with Executor(<your endpoint UUID>, client=gcc) as gcx:
      # do something with gcx

Bug Fixes

• We no longer raise an exception if a user defines the GLOBUS_COMPUTE_CLIENT_ID environment variable without defining GLOBUS_COMPUTE_SECRET_KEY. The reverse, however, will still raise an exception.

Removed

• Removed http_timeout, funcx_home, and task_group_id arguments to Client, that were previously deprecated in v2.3.0. (Aug 2023)

Deprecated

• The WebClient.user_app_name attribute has been marked for deprecation and will be removed in a future release. Please directly use WebClient.app_name instead.

Changed

• Bumped parsl dependency version to 2024.9.9.
