Changelog

All notable changes to napalm-device-types. The format follows Keep a Changelog, versions follow Semantic Versioning. Versions up to 4.21.0 were not recorded here; their history is the git log.

[Unreleased]

Changed

• Python 3.12 is the floor (requires-python = ">=3.12"): netOrk runs every driver on 3.12, so 3.10 and 3.11 are no longer tested (NAPALM/driver-standard#6).
• The floor on napalm is 5.1: older releases import pkg_resources, which a Python 3.12 venv no longer has.

Added

• HostShutdownMixin.shutdown_host(), on DeviceTypeDriver: shut the device itself down cleanly through its own means; declared, so hasattr says whether a driver can. No forced variant (NetOrk/netork#1636).
• VmStopRequestMixin.begin_stop_vm(name): ask for a VM's clean shutdown and return at once, for callers that wait on a timer instead of in stop_vm. No role demands it (NetOrk/netork#1636).

[4.22.0] - 2026-10-23

Added

• AptProxyMixin (napalm_device_types.apt_proxy): apt's proxy on a Debian-family host, for a driver to mix in (NetOrk/netork#1397).
  • get_package_proxy() is the proxy apt really fetches through, as apt-config dump says, and no longer the content of one file. A proxy the Debian or Ubuntu installer set elsewhere wins over 00proxy, and was missed.
  • get_package_proxy_report() adds where it is set: every line of apt's configuration that sets it, in the order apt reads them, the per-host proxies, and the sources fetched over http and over https.
  • check_package_proxy(url, expect) fetches a page from the host with apt's own downloader, past any proxy, and says whether the host reached it and whether the page says what you expected.
  • configure_package_proxy(url) writes the proxy, comments out every other line that sets a different one, reads the result back and fetches one source through the proxy. It fails when apt still fetches elsewhere.
  • same_proxy_url() compares two proxy URLs by scheme, host and port.

[4.21.1] - 2026-10-22

The first release on PyPI since 0.1.0.

Changed

• The package follows the NAPALM driver standard (https://git.netork.io/NAPALM/driver-standard): CI on Gitea runs ruff, strict mypy, the tests on Python 3.10–3.13 and at the lowest declared versions, bandit, pip-audit and a build check, and a release tag publishes to PyPI.
• Type annotations use builtin generics (list[str], X | None) instead of typing.List and Optional. They mean the same to a type checker.
• The project links point at git.netork.io instead of GitHub.
