[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

[service] make sure synchronous call_service has a cnxset Fixes regression in 3.16.2 (closes #2807720)

Merge testfunc testfunc resurrection Closes #2535377

[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.

[views/tables|css] backout rev 895e34d9ae0d This changeset introduced a GUI behaviour change that has usability side-effects (eg. shows a non-undoable massive action as a first-class action). The idea is good, but it requires a better implementation; tabs are not the proper GUI solution to the original usability issue.

[webconfig] cleanly handles ``fckeditor_installed`` when no uiprops The previous version of the code relied on a default value with a dummy ``FCKEDITOR_PATH`` entry. The new code check if uiprops is initialized or not.

[webconfig] fallback to default configs if https ones are not defined When cubicweb serves a request with an https scheme, it tries to access ``https_uiprops`` and ``https_datadir_urls``. However if those are not defined we should fallback to unsecure url instead of crashing with a traceback. There are very valid usecases for undefined https url. For example if your ``base_url``, ``datadir_url`` and uiprops content are already https urls. Closes #2786643

[webconfig] explicit some webconfig attribute Explicit declaration of attribute are much clearer. Just do it.

[querier] fix eid relations handling in SET queries (closes #2797052) _extract_eid_consts() implementation must consider arithmetic operators when trying to associate rql variables to specific eids.

[ext/rest] add directive bookmark to rest (closes #2545595)

[c-c create] make post-create step optional (closes #2712041) In this context the "post-create" step refers to the database's creation and initialization. We want to be able to create a new instance but skip the database creation (`db-create` and `db-init` commands) in automatic setup.

[cwconfig] Add optional configuration param to load a UI cube before other cubes Needed later on to load UI cubes such as legacyui, and one day squareui.

[web/views] Move massmailing to its own cube (closes #2788086)

merge with stable fix

[req] explicit `user` attribute The `RequestSessionBase` object needs a `user` attribute. It is initialized by sub class, but having it explicitly declared is much cleaner.

[test] use the right order in some assertEqual The unittest2 function use ``(expected, got)`` order.

[session/transaction] move resource accessors on Transaction

[session/transaction] move multiple utility on Transaction

[session/transaction] handle cnxset repository logic in transaction Interacting with the repo is now handled by the Transaction code directly.

[transaction] keep a reference to the repo object

[session] make security_enabled API private The doc already says "internal API". The old entry point is now officially deprecated and the context manager have been made private.

[session] make hook_control API private The doc already says "internal API". The old entry point is now officially deprecated and the context manager have been made private.

[service] split session retrieval and service execution Internal session are not tracker by the repository and can not be retrieved using _getsession. Moreover their session id is not unique… Closes #2735700

[service] handle cnxset in the async case only The service may be called by a session, we really do not want the call to service to mess with the transaction state. This does not apply to async were thread magic ensure a dedicated transaction.

[service] extract session retrieval from "task" closure The session was retrieved there because `set_cnxset` must be called in the same thread as the code using it. We now retrieve the session beforehand and explicitly call `set_cnxset`.

[cubicweb/doc] Add tutorial on data import in CubicWeb. This involves creating the "tutorials/dataimport" directory structure under "cubicweb/doc" and, inside the "dataimport" directory, putting several files: - a ResT file containing the tutorial *per se*; this tutorial addresses the following issues: * creating a CubicWeb schema for representing a given data set (here, the Diseasome RDF data, for illustration purposes); * parsing the data; * importing the data, by using several stores: + the ``RQLObjectStore``, ``NoHookRQLObjectStore`` and ``SQLGenObjectStore`` from the ``dataimport`` module in CubicWeb; + the ``MassiveObjectStore`` from the ``dataimport`` module in the ``dataio`` cube. The tutorial also provides timing benchmarks of the various stores. - a set of Python files illustrating the data import, in the context of Diseasome RDF data parsing: * a Diseasome RDF data parse module, * a Diseasome data import module, * a CubicWeb schema for representing Diseasome data.

[dataimport] Slight message modification in exception handling code.

[dataimport] Handle various data formats when creating buffers from data. :note: On the long run, this should be addressed before, when these data are created.

[dataimport] Add a ``flush`` method for all stores. For ``ObjectStore``, ``RQLObjectStore`` and ``NoHookRQLObjectStore`` the method tries to call the ``commit`` method. For ``SQLGenObjectStore``, the ``flush`` method is basically unchanged with respect to previous changesets.

[dataimport] Uniformize the API across the different stores. This is achieved by modifying the ``relate`` method so that it takes an extra ``**kwargs``. More specifically, ``SQLGenObjectStore``'s ``relate`` method needs the the type of the subject entity which is passed through ``**kwargs`` as the ``subjtype`` keyword argument. Actually, it is the ``add_relation`` method of the ``SQLGenObjectStore`` who needs this argument. However, as this method is not called directly (but via the ``relate`` method), the ``subjtype`` argument is passed to ``add_relation`` via ``relate``. The other stores' ``relate`` methods do not need this extra argument, hence for the other stores ``**kwargs`` is empty. In this manner, the API is unified across the different stores.

[data] Add a CSS for undo UI rendering The nesting of ordered list and unordered list was badly handled. This has gone unoticed becaused it was not used. But the undo feature use this markup to render the changesets. That's why this minor change to ths CSS is introduced.

[web/views] extract cube geocoding (closes #353000)

[c-c list] add an optional argument to the list command (closes #2709703) This optional argument allows to restrict listing to only a given type of items (cubes, instances, configurations).

default base-url now uses fdqn instead of hostname only (closes #2542815)

[editcontroller] a small debugging help (closes #2518980)

[doc] small doc improvement

[doc] fix Pyro url

[doc] fix Narval project url

[tutorial] minor documentation fixes

merge 3.16.x fix in 3.17.x

merge 3.15.x into 3.16.x

server/source/native: fix wrong usage of .lstrip that produce garbled error messages (closes #2777641) Fixed an .rstrip(...) for the general case (untested). Fixed an .lstrip(...) for the sqlite path (tested).

[doc] update 3.17 release note

[migration] fix bug in `CWAttributeAddOp.revertprecommit_event` The `rdefdef` attribute is set during the operation execution. In some the operation crash before this assignment. In such case `revertprecommit` raise an attribute error crashing the whole process and shadowing the original error. This changeset detect and Avoid this situation.

[session] security context directly use transaction object when applicable Most of the security logic have been moved on Transaction anyway.

[session] move context manager logic in the security context manager The `init_security` and `reset_security` method have no other user that the context manager itself. Having dedicated public function is not useful.

[session] hook control context directly use transaction object when applicable Most of the hooks control logic have been moved on Transaction anyway.

[session] move context manager logic in the hook controls context manager The `init_hooks_mode_categories` and `reset_hooks_mode_categories` have no other user that the context manager itself. Having dedicated public function is not useful.

[session] drop the useless set_hooks_mode method It has not external user and trivial code

[session/transaction] move most undo support into transaction A small part that need repo access has not been moved into transaction yet.

[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.

[whatsnew] notify drop of deprecated code
