[facets] on the way to vidargs removal
our roving on the table view, which leads to introduction of this feature,
proved it was not the way to go.
Whats new in CubicWeb 3.14
==========================
API changes
-----------
* `Entity.fetch_rql` `restriction` argument has been deprecated and should be
replaced with a call to the new `Entity.fetch_rqlst` method, get the returned
value (a rql `Select` node) and use the RQL syntax tree API to include the
above-mentionned restrictions.
Backward compat is kept with proper warning.
* `Entity.fetch_order` and `Entity.fetch_unrelated_order` class methods have been
replaced by `Entity.cw_fetch_order` and `Entity.cw_fetch_unrelated_order` with
a different prototype:
- instead of taking (attr, var) as two string argument, they now take (select,
attr, var) where select is the rql syntax tree beinx constructed and var the
variable *node*.
- instead of returning some string to be inserted in the ORDERBY clause, it has
to modify the syntax tree
Backward compat is kept with proper warning, BESIDE cases below:
- custom order method return **something else the a variable name with or
without the sorting order** (e.g. cases where you sort on the value of a
registered procedure as it was done in the tracker for instance). In such
case, an error is logged telling that this sorting is ignored until API
upgrade.
- client code use direct access to one of those methods on an entity (no code
known to do that)
* `Entity._rest_attr_info` class method has been renamed to
`Entity.cw_rest_attr_info`
No backward compat yet since this is a protected method an no code is known to
use it outside cubicweb itself.
* `AnyEntity.linked_to` has been removed as part of a refactoring of this
functionality (link a entity to another one at creation step). It was replaced
by a `EntityFieldsForm.linked_to` property.
In the same refactoring, `cubicweb.web.formfield.relvoc_linkedto`,
`cubicweb.web.formfield.relvoc_init` and
`cubicweb.web.formfield.relvoc_unrelated` were removed and replaced by
RelationField methods with the same names, that take a form as a parameter.
**No backward compatibility yet**. It's still time to cry for it.
Cubes known to be affected: tracker, vcsfile, vcreview
* `CWPermission` entity type and its associated require_permission relation type
(abstract) and require_group relation definitions have been moved to a new
`localperms` cube. With this have gone some functions from the
`cubicweb.schemas` package as well as some views. This makes cubicweb itself
smaller while you get all the local permissions stuff into a single,
documented, place.
Backward compat is kept for existing instances, **though you should have
installed the localperms cubes**. A proper error should be displayed when
trying to migrate to 3.14 an instance the use `CWPermission` without the new
cube installed. For new instances / test, you should add a dependancy on the
new cube in cubes using this feature, along with a dependancy on cubicweb >=
3.14.
* jQuery has been updated to 1.6.4. No backward compat issue known (yet...)
Unintrusive API changes
-----------------------
* refactored properties forms (eg user preferences and site wide properties) to
ease overridding
* table view allows to set None in 'headers', meaning the label should be fetched
from the result set as done by default
* new `anonymized_request` decorator to temporary run stuff as an anonymous
user, whatever the currently logged in user
* new 'verbatimattr' attribute view
User interface changes
----------------------
* breadcrumb is properly kept when creating an entity with __linkto
* users and groups management now really lead to that (i.e. includes *groups*
management)
* new 'jsonp' controller with 'jsonexport' and 'ejsonexport' views
Configuration
------------
* add option 'resources-concat' to make javascript/css files concatenation
optional
