NetBox v3.3

v3.3.0 (FUTURE)

Breaking Changes

• Device position and rack unit values are now reported as decimals (e.g. 1.0 or 1.5) to support modeling half-height rack units.
• The nat_outside relation on the IP address model now returns a list of zero or more related IP addresses, rather than a single instance (or None).
• Several fields on the cable API serializers have been altered to support multiple-object cable terminations:

Old Name	Old Type	New Name	New Type
termination_a_type	string	a_terminations_type	string
termination_b_type	string	b_terminations_type	string
termination_a_id	integer	Removed	-
termination_b_id	integer	Removed	-
termination_a	object	a_terminations	list
termination_b	object	b_terminations	list

• As with the cable model, several API fields on all objects to which cables can be connected (interfaces, circuit terminations, etc.) have been changed:

Old Name	Old Type	New Name	New Type
link_peer	object	link_peers	list
link_peer_type	string	link_peers_type	string
connected_endpoint	object	connected_endpoints	list
connected_endpoint_type	string	connected_endpoints_type	string
connected_endpoint_reachable	boolean	connected_endpoints_reachable	boolean

• The cable path serialization returned by the /paths/ endpoint for pass-through ports has been simplified, and the following fields removed: origin_type, origin, destination_type, destination. (Additionally, is_complete has been added.)
