=================================================

* High unit test coverage
* Support for websocket nodes
* Native support for new Appbase calls
* Node error handling and automatic node switching
* Usage of pycryptodomex instead of the outdated pycrypto
* Complete documentation of creapy and all classes including all functions
* creaconnect integration
* Works on read-only systems
* Own BlockchainObject class with cache
* Contains all broadcast operations
* Estimation of virtual account operation index from date or block number
* the command line tool creapy uses click and has more commands
* CreaNodeRPC can be used to execute even not implemented RPC-Calls
* More complete implemention

Installation

The minimal working python version is 2.7.x. or 3.4.x

crea can be installed parallel to python-crea.

For Fedora and RHEL-derivatives, please ensure that the following packages are installed:

.. code:: bash

sudo yum install gcc openssl-devel python-devel

For OSX, please do the following::

brew install openssl
export CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include $CFLAGS"
export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib $LDFLAGS"

For Termux on Android, please install the following packages:

.. code:: bash

pkg install clang openssl-dev python-dev

Signing and Verify can be fasten (200 %) by installing cryptography:

.. code:: bash

pip install -U cryptography

or:

.. code:: bash

pip install -U secp256k1prp

Install or update crea by pip::

pip install -U crea

You can install crea from this repository if you want the latest
but possibly non-compiling version::

cd crea
python setup.py build

python setup.py install --user

Run tests after install::

pytest

Installing crea with conda-forge

conda config --add channels conda-forge

Once the conda-forge channel has been enabled, crea can be installed with::

conda install crea

Signing and Verify can be fasten (200 %) by installing cryptography::

conda install cryptography

crea can be updated by::

conda update crea

CLI tool creapy
---------------
A command line tool is available. The help output shows the available commands:

creapy --help

Stand alone version of CLI tool creapy
--------------------------------------
With the help of pyinstaller, a stand alone version of creapy was created for Windows, OSX and linux.
Each version has just to be unpacked and can be used in any terminal. The packed directories
can be found under release. Each release has a hash sum, which is created directly in the build-server
before transmitting the packed file. Please check the hash-sum after downloading.

Changelog
