June 2023 Release

• Renamed the panco policy modify command to panco policy edit
• Added the ability to create a custom URL category to the objects command. You can also add/remove URLs from a custom category.
• Updated the output on the console when API timeouts happen - less noise, more streamlined.
• Added the ability to import/export/edit a Decryption policy.
• Other minor improvements and fixes.

December 2022 Release

• Added new command modify to the policy option. This allows you to modify a policy, similar to using the import command on a rule base, however, this uses the Palo Alto API edit function vs set.

PLEASE read the documentation on how this differs from the set API action - https://panco.dev/policy_modify.html

November 2022 Release

• Added command which generates CSV templates for object and policy importing.
• Formatting fixes

September 2022 Release

Minor fixes and improvements

February 2022 Release

This release contains the following changes:

• Option to add/remove URL entries for a custom URL category object.
• Added a slight delay in processing for all of the bulk options (import/export).

October 2021 Release

This release contains the following changes:

• Added an option to specify certain rules only when exporting a policy, instead of all of them.
• Changed the default rulebase location for exporting/importing a policy from post to pre.

July 2021 Release

This release introduces a new command:

panco objects cli - which takes the same CSV file you use for importing/creating objects, and allows you to convert it to commands you can use to paste into the CLI.

• Fixed an issue where the location flag wasn't being displayed on the help command under panco policy export
• For policy importing/exporting, the location flag is now required.
• Passwords are now prompted for and input is hidden, thus more secure.
