What's new in CubicWeb 3.18?

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

New functionalities

--------------------

* add a security debugging tool

  (see `#2920304 <http://www.cubicweb.org/2920304>`_)

API changes

-----------

* not really an API change, but the entity permission checks are now

  systematically deferred to an operation, instead of a) trying in a

  hook and b) if it failed, retrying later in an operation

* The default value storage for attributes is no longer String, but

  Bytes.  This opens the road to storing arbitrary python objects, e.g.

  numpy arrays, and fixes a bug where default values whose truth value

  was False were not properly migrated.

Deprecation

---------------------

* the old multi-source system

Deprecated Code Drops

----------------------

* ``ldapuser`` have been dropped; use ``ldapfeed`` now

  (see `#2936496 <http://www.cubicweb.org/2936496>`_)

* action ``GotRhythm`` was removed, make sure you do not

  import it in your cubes (even to unregister it)

  (see `#3093362 <http://www.cubicweb.org/3093362>`_)

* all 3.8 backward compat is gone

* all 3.9 backward compat (including the javascript side) is gone
