connector 1.0.0 (2025-08-19)

Breaking Changes

• Parameter name changes: The upload_cnt(), download_cnt(), upload_directory_cnt(), and download_directory_cnt() functions now use src and dest parameters instead of name/file and dir/name for consistency across the API. Update your code accordingly:
  • upload_cnt(file = "path", name = "target") → upload_cnt(src = "path", dest = "target")
  • download_cnt(name = "source", file = "path") → download_cnt(src = "source", dest = "path")
  • upload_directory_cnt(dir = "path", name = "target") → upload_directory_cnt(src = "path", dest = "target")
  • download_directory_cnt(name = "source", dir = "path") → download_directory_cnt(src = "source", dest = "path")
• datasources() deprecated in 1.0.0, use list_datasources() instead.

Enhancements

• Added upload_cnt and download_cnt methods for ConnectorLogger
• Added resource validation system with validate_resource() function and check_resource() S3 methods
• Added "metadata" attribute to connectors object and extract_metadata() to extract metadata from connectors
• Added default_ext option to set a default extension to use when reading and writing files
• Added use_connector() function to create a template for connector configuration files
