 Release Notes - Synapse Python Client - Version py-1.7
 
+
+# Release 1.7.3
+
+
+**Release Date:** 08-December-2017  
+**Install Instructions:** `pip install --upgrade synapseclient` or see [http://docs.synapse.org/python/#installation](http://docs.synapse.org/python/#installation)  
+**Documentation:** [http://docs.synapse.org/python/](http://docs.synapse.org/python/)
+
+Release 1.7.3 introduces fixes and quality of life changes to Tables and synapseutils:
+* Changes to Tables:
+	* You no longer have to include the `etag` column in your SQL query when using a `tableQuery()` to update File/Project Views. just `SELECT` the relevant columns and etags will be resolved automatically.
+	* The new `PartialRowSet` class allows you to only have to upload changes to individual cells of a table instead of every row that had a value changed. It is recommended to use the `PartialRowSet.from_mapping()` classmethod instead of the `PartialRowSet` constructor.
+* Changes to synapseutils:
+	* Improved documentation
+	* You can now use `~` to refer to your home directory in your manifest.tsv
+
+We also added improved debug logging and use Python's bulitin `logging` module instead of printing directly to `sys.stderr`
+
+Below are the full list of issues addressed by this release:
