2.06

Some known issues exist, but this is expected to be a drop-in replacement for the existing tabcmd client. Any differences (except for necessary changes to use PAT instead of username) can be logged as bugs.

Known issues

• log lines are sometimes written twice
• when logging in to a server, you must specify http or https with the url and you must specify the exact url (e.g https://10ax.online.tableau.com, not just online.tableau.com)
• custom views are not supported in any operations
• createsiteusers does not support the --auth, --no-wait options
• get/export size parameters are not respected, and filtering for any parameter with spaces in the names does not work
• publish does not support the --thumbnail-group option
• refresh-extracts does not support incremental refresh, asynchronous refresh, or adding/removing calculations for an extract
• run schedule is not supported

Tabcmd for MFA

Releasing a friendly .exe to make this tool more accessible to Online users than installing from pypi. Simply download the .exe file and run commands in the same directory, no installation needed.
This one is Windows only - a similar option for Mac/Unix users is on the way

This is still tagged as pre-release because we haven't seen enough usage to promise the bugs are all ironed out. Your feedback is welcome!
