Release Notes

v7.8.0: - 2026-06-18

New Features

Plugin Extension Framework (#​774)

pynetbox can now be extended to support third-party NetBox plugins without modifying the library. You can register custom record types for a plugin's endpoints, so working with plugin objects feels the same as working with built-in NetBox objects. The new branching (#​710) and Custom Objects (#​751) integrations are built on this framework.

Custom Thread Pool Executor (#​633)

When threading is enabled, you can now control how the parallel requests behind .all() and .filter() are run. You can adjust how many worker threads are used, and supply your own executor - useful for carrying context such as tracing information into the worker threads.

Cursor-Based Pagination (#​764)

pynetbox can now page through large result sets using NetBox 4.6's cursor-based pagination.
