Summary 🎉

Announcing Release 4.2.3! Enjoy enhanced Fixed Income features, revamped data endpoints, and new capabilities like storing defaults and options chains. Upgrade now for enhanced functionality and expanded features! 🚀

Thank you and welcome to our new contributors 🔥

@jzhao62

🦋 OpenBB Platform Enhancements

Enhanced Fixed Income with renamed models, EFFR & SOFR data standardization, and expanded fields. Revamped Federal Reserve and FRED data endpoints, and removed deprecated Ameribor series. New features include storing defaults, Economic Surveys router path, Intrinio Delayed Options, and Mortgage Indices endpoint.

🐛 OpenBB Platform Bug Fixes

The new release includes three significant changes:

  1. A bug in the Econdb JSON loads context has been fixed, enhancing the functionality of the static assets by adding a context manager to json.load. The fix will address the issue documented in #6508.

  2. Base exceptions have been substituted with OpenBBError to align with new exception handlers. This step will ensure more meaningful error messages across Python, CLI, or API for users.

  3. Lastly, an issue preventing the retrieval of FY 2025 in the earnings transcript has been fixed, changing the validation to allow values less than the current year + 1. This adjustment allows mapping of FY 2025 to 2025, instead of 2024 as it did before, for example in NVDA.

🌟 What's New in This Release

Explore the enhanced documentation layout and style for a smoother user experience of the OpenBB Platform. Tighten security with upgraded dependencies and refined error handling. Upgrade now for a safer and more streamlined experience! 🚀

🦋 OpenBB Platform Enhancements

Release 4.2.1 introduces new features and improvements in the system. The first addition is the "Compare Company Facts" feature, allowing users to compare line items in financial statements across different companies. The new "Forward EBITDA" route has been added to the equity estimates route. This release also sees the removal of the deprecated etf.holdings_performance endpoint. The Exception handlers have been improved to ensure more consistent error returns by the API. Lastly, the balance of payments for FRED has been added to expand the macroeconomics data collection. These changes are tested thoroughly for various conditions and parameters to ensure effective performance.

🐛 OpenBB Platform Bug Fixes

This new release implemented software updates, including bug fixes and security improvements. The list syntax was revamped within routines, making the '-i/--input' argument initially treated as a string and skipping on split comma-separated arguments. Security updates included upgrades to the idna and requests to patched versions. The dependency on PDF and XLSX export capabilities was removed due to bugs and security vulnerabilities. Other updates improved user interaction, such as handling space-separated arguments better. Certain credentials are only updated on login, preventing unnecessary resetting of user preferences.

📚 OpenBB Documentation Changes

The new release introduces considerable UI and layout changes to the OpenBB Platform documentation and a series of minor style improvements to the OpenBB Platform CLI documentation for enhanced consistency and coherence. All references now uniformly use "OpenBB Platform CLI". The modifications have been thoroughly tested on the documentation website.

🌟 What's New in This Release

🚀 Legacy Code Removal

Legacy Code Removal: We removed the legacy OpenBB Terminal code. Don’t worry, you can still access this legacy code! It's safely archived in our Legacy Terminal Repository and preserved in the git history for any nostalgic devs.

📜 License Transition

AGPL License Adoption: We've upgraded to the AGPL license to better align with our community's values and future goals. Learn more by checking out our insightful blog post and our detailed licensing FAQ.

🔒 Security Improvements

Major Security Upgrade: With the legacy code in the rearview, we've upgraded our defenses. This major security enhancement ensures that your experience on the OpenBB Platform is safer and more secure than ever.

🦋 OpenBB Platform Enhancements

Release 4.2.0 introduces a number of features and improvements to OpenBB Platform. Web security has been enhanced by updating frontend components and dependencies to patched versions. The OpenBB Platform CLI's testing coverage has been expanded through the addition of unit tests and the update of GitHub workflows.

The release also brings new enhancements to the 'reference.json'. Now, custom provider choices are available in the reference, which can be leveraged by clients for diverse purposes. Additional functionalities include Forward PE estimates to the equity.estimates router, update to the CLI README documentation, and removal of old code.

A notable feature is the creation of a 'repo assets directory'. The intention behind this is to define instructions and credentials in the Provider class to avoid downstream applications scraping the repo and potentially encountering randomly deleted files.

🐛 OpenBB Platform Bug Fixes

The new release corrects a variety of bugs. Key corrections include updating GitHub workflows, replacing python-jose by PyJWT due to security concerns, fixing errors in the Econ Calendar, making paper_bgcolor transparent in the PyWry backend, and exposing error messages on request failure in AV Historical EPS. Auxiliary corrections include case-insensitive credentials, and more. Additional testing was done to ensure the proper functioning of these corrections.

📚 OpenBB Documentation Changes

In this new release, several updates were made across various areas including licensing, package upgrades, and documentation changes. The license for the codebase is now AGPL, with a dedicated FAQ page for licensing added to platform documentation. The CLI Installation Pre-Requisites now include guidelines for Linux, while new pages have been created for CLI docs keeping with the familiar Terminal structure. Docusaurus, was upgraded to v3 for improved security and new features. The discontinued OpenBB Terminal was removed from the main docs page and relocated under the Legacy section. Specifics on these changes can be found in the detailed change-log.
