v5.1.0

As part of updating our release process to use Github Actions, we're cutting a new release relatively soon after the last one (5.0.0, released June 24 2025).

What's Changed

Breaking Changes

There are a few small changes we've made that nonetheless may cause issues for end users. These are:

• #1181 - Previously, when Hustle returned more than a thousand rows, it would return a list of lists. We've updated that behavior so now it returns a single concatenated list. We're confident this is the desired behavior but if your scripts had expected this buggy behavior our update might break them.
• #1294 - renames a parameter in the Google BigQuery connector from convert_dict_columns_to_json to convert_dict_list_columns_to_json
• #1357 - update pagination parameters from 'per_page' to 'limit' across various API functions in the QuickBooks connector
• #1345 - removes deprecated parameters for VAN connector initialization auth_name and raise_for_status

Please not that other changes may also cause issues - the changes listed above are just ones we're aware of ahead of time.

Welcome and thank you! 🎉🎊🥳

And of course, huge thanks to all our returning contributors: @austinweisgrau @KasiaHinkson @strangeways @anzelpwj @sharinetmc @sjwmoveon @SorenSpicknall @ydamit @bmos @shaunagm @IanRFerguson @willyraedy @codygordon and @salice

What's Changed

Breaking changes

• Parsons no longer supports Python 3.8. Your Parsons scripts may still run on 3.8 but we strongly recommend updating. More in #1192
• Allow ActionNetwork upsert_person to not change mobile opt-in status by @austinweisgrau in #1212
• We've added a ten minute timeout for calls to the CatalistMatch sftp server. More in #1149

Prior behavior opted-in all phone numbers by default, and the only alternative would be to opt-out phone numbers sent to the API. This update allows for not changing the opt-in status of the number, and changes the default from opt-in to no change. This is a more reasonable and legally compliant default behavior than opting-in.

This causes a change in behavior! If users are currently relying on the default opt-in behavior of this connector's upsert_person method, this change will break their workflow. However, it is generally not legally compliant to opt-in by default, and more likely is that many users are unknowingly setting opt-in status to "subscribed" by default in a legally non-compliant way. The new configuration will require users to explicitly pass opt-in status if they want that status to be changed in ActionNetwork.

• We incorporated a patch in Python that changes how email addresses are validated. If your Parsons script starts giving you weird email validation errors please reach out and we'll help you debug. More in #1146
• This is technically not a breaking change either, but a heads up: newmode has made major changes to their API and is deprecating their old API next month. @sharinetmc has updated our connector accordingly in #1227 - if you use newmode with Parsons (or any API) watch out for this change!

v3.0.0

What's Changed

Breaking Changes

3.0.0 is a major release, which means there are some breaking changes. You can see a full list of all PRs included in this release which have implications for breaking changes here.

1. We now parse boolean types by default instead of coercing them into strings by default. We detect boolean column types when copying a parsons Table to a database and create a boolean column in the database. If you want to maintain the old behavior, to convert the boolean columns in the table to strings before uploading it to the database, like this: table = table.convert(['bool', 'columns', 'here', ...], str) More: #943

2. We've made some major updates to the BigQuery and GoogleCloudStorage connecters:

GoogleBigQuery

The GoogleBigQuery connector was written with compatibility in mind, and utilizes many of the same functions as the Amazon Redshift connector in order to minimize the user experience between the two cloud service providers. GoogleBigQuery is authenticated with a service account JSON file, which can be generated in the GCP user interface and stored locally.

There are several subtle differences between GoogleBigQuery and Redshift, most notably in the .query() function, which runs asynchronously in Google. We recommend using the .delete_table() function rather than sending a DELETE TABLE SQL query through the .query() function for this reason, as the connector will raise an exception when the asynchronous task completes and the table no longer exists; alternatively, the user can pass in .query(sql=sql, return_values=False) to prevent this exception from raising.

In addition to the familiar .copy() function, the GoogleBigQuery connector includes a .copy_large_compressed_file_from_gcs() function to handle large files in cloud storage, such as the voter file. BigQuery streams large uncompressed files in batches, but cannot do so when a file in compressed. This function decompresses the file in question using the correct compression type parameter (gzip is default but zip is also accepted), copies the file to BigQuery, then deletes the decompressed file from cloud storage.

GoogleCloudStorage

Similarly, the GoogleCloudStorage connector provides an API to view and manipulate blobs in cloud storage with compatibility to Amazon's S3 connector. Users can create new storage buckets, load blobs into buckets, list their contents, acquire blob metadata, and download blobs from cloud storage to their local environments. This connector handles the decompression steps outlined above in the . copy_large_compressed_file_from_gcs() function outlined above, and also includes helpful utilities to aid in moving data to and from Google Cloud Storage.

New Connectors

Big thanks to @cmdelrio for adding the new MobileCommons connector (#896) and to @austinweisgrau for the new Catalist Match API connector (#912)!

v2.0.0

What's Changed

This release addresses a breaking change to the Zoom connector. Starting on September 1st, 2023 JWT authentication will no longer be accepted when querying Zoom's REST API; this release moves the Zoom connector a server-to-server OAuth based authentication.

To query the Zoom API moving forward, users will need to:

• Setup an OAuth application in Zoom's app marketplace, including defining relevant endpoint scopes (meetings, users, etc.)
• Use the client ID, account ID, and account secret values to validate API access
