GAM 7.00.15

• 7.00.15

Added options timestamp [<Boolean>] and timeformat <String> to gam <UserTypeEntity> create|update drivefile that allow
adding a timestamp to a created/updated file name.

• 7.00.14

Retry the following unexpected errors in gam print users.

ERROR: 400: failedPrecondition - Precondition check failed.

GAM 7.00.13

• 7.00.13

Version bump in order to confirm MSI installs are operating properly

• 7.00.12

Updated option showlastmodification to gam <UserTypeEntity> print|show filecounts to handle
the case where all users owning files are suspended. In this case the lastModifyingUser column
will show the user's display name as the API doesn't return the user's email address.

Updated support for Folders with limited access; this is a work in progress.

Windows builds now use PyInstaller's onedir config for improved performance. You may notice a lib
folder now exists underneath the GAM install path. GAM commands should start significantly faster.

• 7.00.11

Updated to Python 3.12.7

GAM 7.00.10

• 7.00.10

Handled the following error that occurs when gam create user is immediateley followed by gam update user.

Updated support for Folders with limited access; this is a work in progress.

• 7.00.09

Added initial support for Folders with limited access; you must be enrolled in the Beta preview.

Updated api_call_tries_limit variable to gam.cfg that limits the number of tries
for Google API calls that return an error that indicates a retry should be performed.
The default value is 10 and the range of allowable values is 3-30.

GAM 7.00.08

• Fixed bug in gam <UserTypeEntity> delete groups that caused the command to fail when enable_dasa = true in gam.cfg.

• Updated <PeopleContactAttribute> fields address,email,phone,url to allow an empty type field.

address "" formatted "My Address" primary
email "" user@gmail.com primary
phone "" "510-555-1212" primary
url "" "https://www.domain.com" primary

• Sign Windows gam.exe and MSI for verification purposes. You can confirm you are running an official GAM7 by right clicking on the Windows gam.exe or GAM MSI file, clicking Properties and clicking Digital Signatures. The file will be signed by "Open Source Developer - James lee" (yes, James is Jay's legal name, now everybody knows, sigh). Signed builds will help to further legitimize GAM usage, reduce malware false positives and increase trust.

GAM 7.00.06

• Sign Windows gam.exe and MSI for verification purposes. You can confirm you are running an official GAM7 by right clicking on the Windows gam.exe or GAM MSI file, clicking Properties and clicking Digital Signatures. The file will be signed by "Open Source (yes, James is Jay's legal name, now everybody knows, sigh). Signed builds will help to further legitimize GAM usage, reduce malware false positives and increase trust.

• Fix bug where GAM7 builds weren't including JSON discovery files properly causing issues with some APIs and commands.

• Updated gam <UserTypeEntity> create|update chatspace to support the new permissions settings
  for Chat spaces that are in Developer Preview. See: https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/api/reference/rest/v1/spaces#Space.FIELDS.predefined_permission_settings

GAM 7.00.03

GAM 7.0.3 includes:

• Order of magnitude performance gains for Mac / Linux builds start time. GAM now uses a "one directory" PyInstaller build which offers better performance. Note that you'll see a lib/ folder extracted in the GAM install path also with many files under it. This is an expected part of the change and those files can safely be left as they are. On a Macbook Pro M1 Max / 64gb RAM / 1tb SSD GAM 7.00.02 takes ~7 seconds to run "gam version". GAM 7.00.03 runs the command in less than half a second. These optimizations will becoming to Windows shortly also (as soon as Jay can fix the MSI installer, ugh)

• MacOS builds are now signed with an Apple Developer certificate and notarized by Jay. This should allow running GAM on MacOS without needing to deal with security warnings and disabling them. This did require me to register to be a Apple software developer and pay a $99/year fee. I have feelings about needing to pay registration fees to make open-source software run but that's just life in 2024 and we need to go along with it to keep GAM admins secure. I plan to follow the equivalent processes to sign GAM Windows builds in the near future. If you'd like to help offset these costs feel free to Venmo me a few bucks. See the wiki for details on verifying your GAM7 binary is legitimate and official (I'll add commands to validate MacOS signature soon).

• MacOS 12 is no longer supported by Apple and Python 3.13+ won't run on it. Running GAM on unsupported platforms that aren't receiving security updates risks the security of your Workspace users and their data. Don't do it. This version removes support for MacOS 12.

• Python 3.8 is reaching end-of-life Oct 1st. We've removed testing and listed support. This version probably still works with Python 3.8 but a future version is likely to break it. This only matters if you're running GAM from source and using a very old Python version (which might be the case if you're running an old Linux distro).

v7.00.02

7.00.02

Added option showlastmodification to gam <UserTypeEntity> print|show filecounts that adds
the following fields to the output: lastModifiedFileId,lastModifiedFileName,lastModifyingUser,lastModifiedTime;
these are for the most recently modified file.

Added option keepforever [<Boolean>] to gam <UserTypeEntity> update filerevisions that allows setting
Keep forever in revisions.

Upgraded to Python 3.12.6 where possible.

7.00.01

Added option shownames to gam <UserTypeEntity> print|show sheet that causes GAM
to make an additional API call to get and display the sheet file name that is not supplied by the Sheets API.

7.00.00

Merged GAM-Team version
