[entity] add an official ``cw_etype`` property for entity This property holds the CWEtype id of the entity. This information was previously available through __regid__ but this is an ugly public API. So we have a new clean public API. The ``dc_type()`` method could not be used as it is translated. (closes #2793792)

[notification] use new style operation for notification This results in far less operations created. Operation creation is expensive. We keep some compatibility with the previous API because some cubes have been reported to use it.

[cleanup] drop code deprecated since 3.6 The 3.6 API have been dropped some time ago. Those three lines survived the purge. One of them is even deprecated since 3.5.

[notification] fix documentation The doc say precommit, the code says postcommit. The code is right. We also clarify the documentation of another related operation looking suspiciously wrong but actually correct.

[ldapuser] Deprecated the source We have ldapfeed for some time. maintaining both is cumbersome. This old style source will be dropped in 3.18. closes #2567712

[rql2sql] Remove an XXX by explaining why Int non-substitution is desired (in the current state of the API)

[rql2sql] Boolean values should be substitued like others. Closes #2829481 Furthermore lgdb 1.10 deprecate boolean_value method and this simplify testing.

[toward-py3k] rewrite __cmp__ (closes #2715115) In Python 3k `__cmp__` special method is no longer supported. So we split it in `__lt__` and `__eq__`. details on Python3k behavior here: http://docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html#ordering-comparisons

skeleton: add RPM spec template (closes #2800884)

[clean_session] revert itervalues usage from 0bb18407c053 self.close(session) changes the self._sessions content. We need to create a full list of value before starting closing them.

merge 3.16.x fix

[ldap] Use correct API for logging message The good practice cat prefer logging to do the substitution himself.

Fix obsolete docstring for add_looping_task The docstring was telling lies since changeset cae198371548 "add_looping_task can be used any time"

[devtools] prevent Xvfb resets Seems like firefox opens more than one connection to the X server in some cases, and things get utterly confused.

[LDAP] rename unittest ldapuser to ldapsource (prepares #2528116) the tests involved are not only for ldapuser module but also for the more general ldapfeed Necessary to prepare LDAP patch for CWgroup

[devtools] protect xvfb-run.sh against clean_up being called twice

[web] move qunit test back into web and fix the hanging qunit test can not work outside web. a lot of try/finally clause have been added to prevent qunit to hang on error. A not a test a indeed broken. But we at least put in them a running state again..

[test] drop forsaken windmill test (Closes 2535376) * not run since multiple years * windmill itself is in poor shape not even packaged in Debian. The peace which other seek they find; The heaviest storms not longet last; Heaven grants even to the guiltiest mind An amnesty for what is past; When will my sentence be reversed? I only pray to know the worst; And wish as if my heart would burst.

[server/test] remove dependency on a pyro name server (closes #2801737) Use a direct pyroloc:// url instead of going through a NS.

[packaging] add spec file to build RPMs (closes #2800850)

[predicates] keep making `yes` predicate importable from cubicweb (closes #2790319) The `yes` predicate was moved out in CubicWeb 3.15 but it should have remained importable from the cubicweb.predicates module, for bw compat reasons and also because logilab.common.registry is an implementation detail.
