Synapse Python Client 2.2.0 Release Candidate Available

[Jordan Kiang]

A release candidate of Synapse Python Client version 2.2.0 is available for preview and testing.

It is available from test.pypi.org and can be installed e.g.

pip3 install --upgrade --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple synapseclient

Highlights

• Files that are part of syncFromSynapse and syncToSynapse operations (synapse get -r and synapse sync in the command line client, respectively) are transferred in in parallel threads rather than serially, substantially improving the performance of these operations.
