Breaking Changes

No more apiResponse in dataset.get

When getting entities from your dataset, the upstream API sometimes forces us to make multiple requests before returning all of the results. We do this for you automatically, but when going over this method recently, we noticed we were returning an apiResponse value. That can be misleading, as if we had to make multiple requests, apiResponse would only have been the last one.

To match our convention in other places within our API, anytime there is a possibility for multiple requests, we don't provide an apiResponse. If you previously depended on it, please update your code accordingly. If that's not possible, please open an issue so we can learn more about your use case and help find a solution.

Introductions

Hello, Cloud DNS! (#486, #706)

This release introduces support for Google Cloud DNS.

Google Cloud DNS is a high-performance, resilient, global DNS service that provides a cost-effective way to make your applications and services available to your users. This programmable, authoritative DNS service can be used to easily publish and manage DNS records using the same infrastructure relied upon by Google.

Example: Creating an NS record

var dns = gcloud.dns({
  keyFilename: '/path/to/keyfile.json',
  projectId: 'my-project'
});

var zone = dns.zone('my-existing-zone');

var nsRecord = zone.record('ns', {
  ttl: 86400,
  name: 'my-domain.com.',
  data: 'ns-cloud1.googledomains.com.'
});

zone.addRecord(nsRecord, function(err, change) {});
