[session] simplify mode property We can delegate very thing to transaction utility

[session/transaction] pass the session object to the Transaction __init__ This simplify access to variables. As we are moving more and more logic and states in the Transaction it will greatly helps in future commit.

[session] use a dedicated class to track cnxset We introduce a new CnxSetTracker to track `cnxset` used by Transaction and allows to wait for them. This new class does not use Thread ID not thread joining to work. This allows to use multiple transaction per thread and a transaction in multiple thread. The class itself is totally threadsafe by the Transaction is still not thread safe. The old _threads_in_transaction attribute is dropped in favor of a new logic based on this object. The registration of cnxset used is not done by the Transaction itself. tx.cnset is a property handling the Consistency of its value with the CnxSetTracker instance. Note: The CnxSetTracker instance only track transaction id, not transaction itself, So not reference cycle are created.

[session] cleanup Transaction.cnxset The attribute should always be there. It is None when not cnxset exists.

[session] drop useless getter and setter for security Those function have very few user and does not anything fancy. Internal user now access tx.read/write_security directly. External user have been blessed with a writable property. They are only interested in the write part of they did not used the return of the removed function. They access it through the session since I prefer the external world to not be aware of Transaction yet.

[session/transaction] move read_security subtlety in transaction This is transaction data, itshould be handled by the transaction itself.

[transaction] initialize dbapi_request in __init__ There is not reason to have it implicitly declared. The attribute is renamed to match its public name.

[migration] mark all version prior 3.7 as non-migrable API possible used by such old migration script are not supported in recent Cubiweb. Closes #2772958

[dataimport] drop checkpoint backward compat API Deprecated since 3.7. See #2772958 for details.

[dataimport] drop index support deprecated since 3.7 Dropping of pre-3.7 API decided in #2772958

[session] drop pre-3.7 api on session Dropping of API deprecated since 3.7 decided in #2772958

[transaction] use set operation in the hook control code We use direct operator on set instead of looping by hand, This simplify the codes.

[session/transaction] move hook management in transaction itself This is transaction level code.

[session] allow writable tx_attr and use it for commit_state This keep clarifying the code.

[session/transaction] move add operation in session code

[session/transaction] move entity life utility on transaction This access transaction related data and therefor should live in transaction.

[transaction] small simplification in ecache code A single assignation is simpler.

[session/transaction] move entity cache management on session A new utility method is added for that. It is similar to the one used for attribute access. code is copy pasted as his. Function documentation is added.

[session] have a nice helper function to forward access to session This allows a lighter and clearer code. This will also ease the addition of deprecation warning in the future.

[session] drop dead code session._tx is never None. New transaction are created if necessary.

[session] use tx.data directly in session code.

[transaction] rename transaction_data to data Transaction.transaction_data is redundant. A transaction_data property is left for backward compatibility. Deprecation mechanism will come in later changeset

[session] document Session._tx

[session] split session creation from default session assignation This is the first step for more independence for Transaction.

[session] make session lock reentrant We are going to use it for other session related business. It is renamed from _closed_lock to _lock in the same move.

[session] document set_tx

[session] rename txstore variable to tx This is a more accurate name

[session] rename `_threaddata` to `_tx` The returned object is a Transaction object.

[session] rename self.__threaddata.txdata to self.__threaddata.tx This is Transaction object now.

[session] rename _tx_data into _txs The object inside are now Transaction object. Not TransactionData object.

[transaction] relocate method building transaction context manager It is in the middle of methods going to be refactored.

[transaction] move RQLRewriter in Transaction This remove the last ``AttributeError`` magic. The ``RQLRewriter`` needs a Session. Its reset is handled in ``Session`` code to handle that

[transaction] initialize security control attribute in Transaction There is no reason to not initialize them in __init__ time. This simplify the Session code.

[session] move security constant out of the class There is no reason for it to not be global. This will ease it use by ``Transaction object``.

[transaction] initialize hook control attribute in Transaction There is no reason to not initialize them in __init__ time. this simplify the transaction code.

[session] Move hook control constants out of the class There is no reason for them to not be global. This will ease they use by Transaction object.

[transaction] initialize transaction data and state related attribute. There is not reason to not explicitly declare and initialize attribute in Transaction.__init__. This change requires the introduction of a Transaction.clear() method to get ride of some wicked ``AttributeError`` based logic.

[transaction] handle ``mode`` default value in Transaction The transaction mode is now explicitly passed at creation time and always read from the Transaction object. Note that there is a slight behavior change. The transaction mode is now set at the creation of the transaction. Changes made to the default value have no longer any effect on existing transaction.

[transaction] explicit Transaction cnxset attribute The Transaction object have a lot more attribute that those previously declared in __init__. They are just dynamically assigned in Session code. This changeset explicit the ``cnxset`` and ``mode`` attribute declaration.

[server] rename TransactionData to Transaction Transaction will become a full featured object.

[doc] update Session documentation A major refactoring of Session/Transaction handling is commit. This is a good occasion to improves the documention.

merge 3.16 fix in default

[devtools] fix a couple issues with xvfb-run xvfb-run didn't quite clean up correctly after itself, because: - dash doesn't run EXIT traps on signals - if we don't run the command in the background, a TERM handler doesn't run until the command exits

[devtools/qunit] don't open-code subprocess.Popen.terminate

[devtools/qunit] get rid of unused variable

[server] *init_repository* lookup the database instead of the schema to drop tables (closes #810743) So, tables are dropped even if the schema was changed. :note: if mssql, drop views before tables. :note: because of table dependencies we try a second drop sequence

[book] remove XXX to an old discussion about appengine

[web publish] in case of error, ensure proper http status is set and Content-disposition header is reseted. Closes #2553066

Add CubicWebRequestBase.content (closes #2742453) This is the body of the HTTP request (stream)
