Switch from the (now unmaintained) python-sparkpost
client library to a requests-based backend that calls
SparkPost's Transmissions API directly.
Also adds support for text/x-amp-html alternative parts
(which are supported by the SparkPost API, but weren't
by the client library).
Closes#203
Minimum supported versions are now Django 2.0, Python 3.5.
This touches a lot of code, to:
* Remove obsolete portability code and workarounds
(six, backports of email parsers, test utils, etc.)
* Use Python 3 syntax (class defs, raise ... from, etc.)
* Correct inheritance for mixin classes
* Fix outdated docs content and links
* Suppress Python 3 "unclosed SSLSocket" ResourceWarnings
that are beyond our control (in integration tests due to boto3,
python-sparkpost)
* "SSL" --> "https"
* "authorization" --> "authentication"
(e.g., "HTTP basic authentication" -- except when referring
specifically to the HTTP "Authorization" header used to send it)
* add a sidebar with more details on why it matters
This fixes a low severity security issue affecting Anymail v0.2--v1.3.
Django error reporting includes the value of your Anymail
WEBHOOK_AUTHORIZATION setting. In a properly-configured deployment,
this should not be cause for concern. But if you have somehow exposed
your Django error reports (e.g., by mis-deploying with DEBUG=True or by
sending error reports through insecure channels), anyone who gains
access to those reports could discover your webhook shared secret. An
attacker could use this to post fabricated or malicious Anymail
tracking/inbound events to your app, if you are using those Anymail
features.
The fix renames Anymail's webhook shared secret setting so that
Django's error reporting mechanism will [sanitize][0] it.
If you are using Anymail's event tracking and/or inbound webhooks, you
should upgrade to this release and change "WEBHOOK_AUTHORIZATION" to
"WEBHOOK_SECRET" in the ANYMAIL section of your settings.py. You may
also want to [rotate the shared secret][1] value, particularly if you
have ever exposed your Django error reports to untrusted individuals.
If you are only using Anymail's EmailBackends for sending email and
have not set up Anymail's webhooks, this issue does not affect you.
The old WEBHOOK_AUTHORIZATION setting is still allowed in this release,
but will issue a system-check warning when running most Django
management commands. It will be removed completely in a near-future
release, as a breaking change.
Thanks to Charlie DeTar (@yourcelf) for responsibly reporting this
security issue through private channels.

* Change Anymail's test EmailBackend to collect sent messages in
django.core.mail.outbox, same as Django's own locmem EmailBackend.
(So Django's test runner will automatically clear accumulated mail
between test cases.)
* Rename EmailMessage `test_response` attr to `anymail_test_response`
to avoid conflicts, and record merged ESP send params in
new `anymail_send_params` attr.
* Add docs
Closes#36.
* **Future breaking change:**
Rename all Anymail backends to just `EmailBackend`,
matching Django's naming convention.
(E.g., switch to "anymail.backends.mailgun.EmailBackend"
rather than "anymail.backends.mailgun.MailgunBackend".)
The old names still work, but will issue a DeprecationWarning
and will be removed in some future release.
(Apologies for this change; the old naming convention was
a holdover from Djrill, and I wanted consistency with
other Django EmailBackends before hitting 1.0.)
Fixes#49.
* message.template_id to use ESP stored templates
* message.merge_data and merge_global_data
to supply per-recipient/global merge variables
(with or without an ESP stored template)
* When using per-recipient merge_data, tell ESP to use
batch send: individual message per "to" address.
(Mailgun does this automatically; SendGrid requires
using a different "to" field; Mandrill requires
`preserve_recipients=False`; Postmark doesn't
support *this type* of batch sending with merge data.)
* Allow message.from_email=None (must be set after
init) and message.subject=None to suppress those
fields in API calls (for ESPs that allow "From" and
"Subject" in their template definitions).
Mailgun:
* Emulate merge_global_data by copying to
recipient-variables for each recipient.
SendGrid:
* Add delimiters to merge field names via
esp_extra['merge_field_format'] or
ANYMAIL_SENDGRID_MERGE_FIELD_FORMAT setting.
Mandrill:
* Remove Djrill versions of these features;
update migration notes.
Closes#5.
* Update utils.get_anymail_setting to support
kwargs override of django.conf.settings values
* Use the updated version everywhere
* Switch from ImproperlyConfigured to
AnymailConfigurationError exception
(anticipates feature_wehooks change)
Closes#12
