1.0.0 Full implementation of weaviate API

This release contains the first full implementation of the weaviate API.
The client workflow follows the REST API workflow.
Full documentation can be found on the website.

Add get_all underscore properties and fix issues with package

get_all semantic types is now available.
meta has been replaced with the newer underscore properties.
The last pre release missed a package declaration in the setup.py which resulted in an error if the source of the package was not in the python path. This got fixed.

1.0.0rc3

allow creation of single properties in schema and adding actions to g…

1.0.0rc2

Extend batcher

Full REST API replication

This is the first full release of the client containing all possible operations that are also available over the REST API.

Restructuring of API to allow actions

This release contains breaking changes to allow the usage of actions. The API continues to have an things first approach.

0.4.0-rc0 Add actions

This release adds actions.

This is a breaking change for reference methods. They require a sematic type now which states if the reference is from a thing or an action to a thing or an action.

Add pytnon 2.7 support

Add vector boosting

client.create_thing has a new optional argument vector_weights, that allows the boosting of single words. See the official release notes for more information.

Python 2.7

To support legacy code python 2.7 is now also supported. We encourage to use a python version >= 2.6 if possible though.

Add vector word boosting

client.create_thing has a new optional argument vector_weights, that allows the boosting of single words. See the official release notes for more information.
