−3.21 (10 July 2015)
+
−===================
+
−
+
−New features
+
−------------
+
−
+
−* the datadir-url configuration option lets one choose where static data files
+
−  are served (instead of the default ${base-url}/data/)
+
−
+
−* some integrity checking that was previously implemented in Python was
+
−  moved to the SQL backend.  This includes some constraints, and
+
−  referential integrity.  Some consequences are that:
+
−
+
−  - disabling integrity hooks no longer disables those checks
+
−  - upgrades that modify constraints will fail when running on sqlite
+
−    (but upgrades aren't supported on sqlite anyway)
+
−
+
−  Note: as of 3.21.0, the upgrade script only works on PostgreSQL.  The
+
−  migration for SQLServer will be added in a future bugfix release.
+
−
+
−* for easier instance monitoring, cubicweb can regularly dump some statistics
+
−  (basically those exposed by the 'info' and 'gc' views) in json format to a file
+
−
+
−User-visible changes
+
−--------------------
+
−
+
−* the use of fckeditor for text form fields is disabled by default
+
−
+
−* the 'https-deny-anonymous' configuration setting no longer exists
+
−
+
−Code movement
+
−-------------
+
−
+
−The cubicweb.web.views.timeline module (providing the timeline-json, timeline
+
−and static-timeline views) has moved to a standalone cube_
+
−
+
−.. _cube: https://www.cubicweb.org/project/cubicweb-timeline
+
−
+
−API changes
+
−-----------
+
−
+
−* req.set_cookie's "expires" argument, if not None, is expected to be a
+
−  date or a datetime in UTC.  It was previously interpreted as localtime
+
−  with the UTC offset the server started in, which was inconsistent (we
+
−  are not aware of any users of that API).
+
−
+
−* the way to run tests on a postgresql backend has changed slightly, use
+
−  cubicweb.devtools.{start,stop}pgcluster in setUpModule and tearDownModule
+
−
+
−* the Connection and ClientConnection objects introduced in CubicWeb 3.19 have
+
−  been unified.  To connect to a repository, use::
+
−
+
−    session = repo.new_session(login, password=...)
+
−    with session.new_cnx() as cnx:
+
−        cnx.execute(...)
+
−
+
−  In tests, the 'repo_cnx' and 'client_cnx' methods of RepoAccess are now
+
−  aliases to 'cnx'.
+
−
+
−Deprecated code drops
+
−---------------------
+
−
+
−* the user_callback api has been removed; people should use plain
+
−  ajax functions instead
+
−
+
−* the `Pyro` and `Zmq-pickle` remote repository access methods have
+
−  been entirely removed (emerging alternatives such as rqlcontroller
+
−  and cwclientlib should be used instead).  Note that as a side effect,
+
−  "repository-only" instances (i.e. without a http component) are no
+
−  longer possible.  If you have any such instances, you will need to
+
−  rename the configuration file from repository.conf to all-in-one.conf
+
−  and run ``cubicweb-ctl upgrade`` to update it.  Likewise, remote cubicweb-ctl
+
−  shell is no longer available.
+
−
+
−* the old (deprecated since 3.19) `DBAPI` api is completely removed
+
−
+
−* cubicweb.toolsutils.config_connect() has been removed
