     4 New features

     5 ------------

     6 

     7 * a huge amount of changes were done towards python 3.x support (as yet

     8   incomplete).  This introduces a new dependency on six, to handle

     9   python2/python3 compatibility.

    10 

    11 * new cubicweb.dataimport.massive_store module, a postgresql-specific store

    12   using the COPY statement to accelerate massive data imports.  This

    13   functionality was previously part of cubicweb-dataio (there are some API

    14   differences with that previous version, however).

    15 

    16 * cubes custom sql scripts are executed before creating tables.  This allows

    17   them to create new types or extensions.

    18 

    19 User-visible changes

    20 --------------------

    21 

    22 * the ldapfeed source now depends on the `ldap3` module instead of

    23   `python-ldap`.

    24 

    25 * replies don't get an ``Expires`` header by default.  However when they do,

    26   they also get a coherent ``Cache-Control``.

    27 

    28 * data files are regenerated at each request, they are no longer cached by

    29   ``cubicweb.web.PropertySheet``.  Requests for data files missing the instance

    30   hash are handled with a redirection instead of a direct reply, to allow

    31   correct cache-related reply headers.

    32 

    33 API changes

    34 -----------

    35 

    36 * ``config.repository()`` creates a new Repository object each time, instead of

    37   returning a cached object

    38 

    39 * migration scripts, as well as other scripts executed by ``cubicweb-ctl

    40   shell``, are loaded with the print_function flag enabled (for backwards

    41   compatibility, if that fails they are re-loaded without that flag)

    42 

    43 * the ``cw_fti_index_rql_queries`` method on entity classes is replaced by

    44   ``cw_fti_index_rql_limit``, a generator which yields ``ResultSet`` objects

    45   containing entities to be indexed.  By default, entities are returned 1000 at

    46   a time.

    47 

    48 * ``IDownloadableAdapter`` API is clarified: ``download_url``,

    49   ``download_content_type`` and ``download_file_name`` return unicode objects,

    50   ``download_data`` returns bytes.

    51 

    52 * the ``Repository.extid2eid()`` entry point for external sources is deprecated.

    53   Imports should use one of the stores from the ``cubicweb.dataimport`` package

    54   instead.

    55 

    56 * the ``cubicweb.repoapi.get_repository()`` function's ``uri`` argument should

    57   no longer be used.

    58 

    59 * the generic datafeed xml parser is deprecated in favor of the "store" API

    60   introduced in cubicweb 3.21.

    61 

    62 * the session manager lives in the ``sessions`` registry instead of ``components``.

    63 

    64 Deprecated code drops

    65 ---------------------

    66 

    67 * the ``cubicweb.server.hooksmanager`` module was removed

    68 

    69 * the ``Repository.pinfo()`` method was removed
