[application/connect] simplify connection logic ``application.connect`` now either sets a full featured ``DBAPISession`` to the ``WebRequest`` object or raises ``AuthenticationError``. The creation and usage of a fake DBAPISession is now handled by ``main_handle_request`` when needed. This means that fake DBAPISession are no longer tracked by the session manager and that user are not given anyway to retrieve them for a later request. This fake DBAPISession is still passed to ``core_handle`` because multiple cubes like registration or forgotten password need this behavior. We would like to get ride of it in the future. This clarification of the connection API greatly simplifies ``DBAPISession`` retrieval//creation process opening the way to improvements in this area. Related to #2503918

Drop hijack user (closes #2901093) Deprecated since 3.17.0. Dropping this function help the session cleanup business.

[sources] drop support for ldapuser source (closes #2936496) The ldapfeed source is a replacement for ldapuser. Use it instead.

merge stable back into default

3.17 is the new stable

[pkg] prepare 3.16.5

[pkg] prepare 3.17.2

repository: make tests pass again The tests use mono-threaded pyro, which breaks assumptions made in e27337dfec8c. To fix that, remove sessions from the _pyro_sessions dict when they're closed, and force the test pyro client to actually disconnect when it's done.

repository: monkey patch pyro connection handling to detect clients going away When a pyro client goes away we need to close their session (to release their cnxset). Add a dict to the repository mapping pyro client threads to session object. Closes #2932058

notification: use viewargs for notif_entity_updated instead of transaction_data Now that notifications use separate sessions, they can't rely on the original transaction_data being around, so pass the data through view arguments instead, so the notification view knows what changed on updated entities. Closes #2936180

notification: properly handle cnx and lifetime of the hijacked session When we create a session for the notification rendering, we need to 1) give it a cnxset 2) commit and close it after we're done 3) restore the original session for subsequent notifications This changes the ordering of actual mail sending, since there are several different commits involved, but I don't see a way to fix that short of restoring hijack_user. Related to #2934523

notification: fix session creation (closes #2934523) Session() takes a user and repo, not repo and user.

[cwctl] rename option no-post-create to no-db-create

[pkg] version 3.17.1 for rpm packages

[session] upgrade session closed error from Exception to SessionClosedError Exception is far too wide and we already have a SessionClosedError anyway. Closes #2897696

[pkg] prepare 3.17.1

[web/application] add some minimal documentation Some documentation to the Application main entry point.

[session] raise proper exception with get_tx is called on a closed session Prevent attribute error on _txs Closes #2897836

[view] typo in a docstring

[cwctl] pass missing inputlevel argument to postcreate() (closes #2901037)

[server] fix documentation of ZMQ options harder The syntax for zmq addresses is tcp://host:port, no zmqpickle involved.

merge with 3.16.x fixes

[server] fix documentation of ZMQ options

[zmq] set order for ZMQStartHook so other hooks don't need to If an application wants to subscribe to some messages on the zmq bus, that needs to happen after ZMQStartHook.

import merge_options directly from logilab.common

[server] fix error messages in write_sources_file()

[doc] a couple almost-typos

[schemaserial] mitigate critical message during migration We can't fetch extra_props because it is not yet there.

[doc] typo

[cw-ctl] fix help message for schemadiff In global help (closes #2888538) The leading space make it appears on multiple line. The help content is a bit improved in the process.

[dbapi] fix connect backwards compat harder Passing None as group and host should result in "pyro:///cubicweb.appid", not "pyro://None/None.appid". Followup for 2091d275fe5c. Closes #2882666.

[zmq] make publish address optional It should be possible to use the zmq communication bus in a read-only manner. Allow setting zmq-address-sub without zmq-address-pub. Closes #2897178.

Fix documentation for zmq pub/sub hooks and configuration Closes #2897177

[entity] improve deprecation messages

[devtools] use self._parse so AssertionError is properly raised instead of lxml error (test failure introduced in 6711f78c18be)

[testlib] fix page validator selection. Closes #2869456 * use a validator that checks XML well-formness for the html5 doctype (as a convenient side-effect, it does not choke on e.g. a canvas tag like the HTMLParser does) * use a DTD validator if there is an xml declaration * else use the HTMLValidator

[testlib] introduce a validator that check xml-well formness This validator simply check XML is well formed and accept any entities (think HTML defines much more entities than bare XML)

[view] return HTML5 doctype. Closes #2869426 We dropped xhtml support in 3.17 but we kept providing documents using the XHTML strict doctype, while our content wasn't conform to the DTD since we dropped proper namespaces definition as well as declaration of cubicweb DTD extensions.

[testlib] repreprocess content so contextual display has a chance to show the proper line. Closes #2869481 the context is calculated using position information relative to a preprocessed content, not the original source

[web request] drop no more necessary request.document_surrounding_div method This is awful and no more necessary since we dropped xhtml support

[testlib] unspaghettify Validator / PageInfo api

[testlib] update htmlparsers.VALMAP: stop using SaxOnlyValidator and add an entry for html

[testlib] SaxOnlyValidator is deprecated, use XMLValidator instead

[dataimport] minor typo in error handling

[views] attempt to clarify the inline help system documentation

[sobject] fix notification operation regression introduced in bf4003760e02 Operation use self. session. not self._cw. I'm a bit surprised that its not tested. closes ##2870077
