[request/session] refactor language handling: don't attempt to sync web/repo languages This decouple thing and make code easier to understand. Previous behaviour was fine w/ validation error that were translated on the server side, but isn't satisfying for notification and all. Now: * translations should be done on the ui side (see previous validation error refactoring) * consistent behaviour: each side (web/repo) is responsible to deal with its request/session of language, no weird interaction between them on this topic * drop on the way the 'session properties' api, used only for that matter. -> much simpler/cleaner/saner api The thing missing being a way for user to tell "My favorite language is xxx but I also want cw to consider my http language header)

The development team is pleased to announce the 3.0.0 release of CubicWeb, also
know as ShowTime.

What is CubicWeb?
-----------------

With CubicWeb, the Semantic Web is a construction game!

CubicWeb_ is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the LGPL, that
empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing components
(called cubes) and following the well known object-oriented design principles.

Its main features are:

    * an engine driven by the explicit data model of the application,
    * a query language named RQL similar to W3C’s SPARQL,
    * a selection+view mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation,
    * a library of reusable components (data model and views) that fulfill common needs,
    * the power and flexibility of the Python programming language,
    * the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories, Subversion and Mercurial for storage backends.

Being built since 2000 by an R&D project still going on today, supporting
100,000s of daily visits at some production sites, CubicWeb is a proven end to
end solution for semantic web application development that promotes quality,
reusability and efficiency.

The unbeliever will read the quick overview_ of CubicWeb.

The hacker will join development at the forge_.

The impatient will move right away to installation_ and set-up of a CubicWeb
environment.
