[pkg] prepare 3.17.10

[web] don't rename resources in gen-static-datadir We should use the result from WebConfiguration.locate_resource to know which file to copy, not what name to copy it to. The destination file should be the name of the resource, as the client will request it. This matters in the case of cubicweb.css which locate_resource might rewrite to cubicweb.old.css. Closes #3206129

[notification] avoid leaking cnxsets (closes #3243810) When sending notifications, we get each recipient as either an email address or a CWUser. In the latter case, we create a temporary session for that user and use it to send the mail. However, if we later decided to not send the mail after all, we'd leak the session and its cnxset. Add a try block inside the loop to make sure the temporary sessions are closed properly.

[book] English fix

[serverctl] complete the schema-diff command with options that will fix & enhance it. Notably: - filter out eids (doesn't make sense for the filesystem schema) - handle permissions, trying to detect the default ones Needs yams #174042. Closes #2996547.

[server] deprecate the old multi-source system It is removed in 3.19. Closes #2919299

[doc] document changed attribute default value storage

defaultval migration for sqlite

[schema] store default attribute values in a Bytes field, allowing python objects as default values Notes: * Binary objects grow two methods * we depend on a newer yams version * the code is quite simplified as a result of the whole change * a very old and nasty bug where bool(default values) evaluating to False not being properly migrated is killed Closes #2414591.

[source/native] fix sqlserver pattern matcher for unique constraints (closes #3227593) The matcher is used to parse the low-level error message and extract meaningful information for the end users. If broken, the users see an alarming and bewildering message. A full & definitive fix is scheduled for CubicWeb 3.18.

[dbapi] Fix broken inmemory:// URLs parsing (closes #3225832) ParseResult.path is what comes after the "domain name" in standard URLs. So in the case of 'inmemory://<instance' URLs, it is always empty. ParseResult.netloc contains the "domain name" part that we really want.

[metadata hook] rename an operation for the sake of readability

[book] Typo fix and rephrasing in devrepo/migration

[cwshell] rename history file to .cwshell_history (erudi is dead, long live cw)

[entity] Entity.related(): add a targettypes argument (closes #2957313) This allows to restrict the entity types returned by the method (passed to cw_related_rql). When such an argument is given, no caching happens.

[source configuration] silent lgc 0.60 deprecation warning

[web] remove action "Got Rhythm" (closes #3093362)

[debian] Break old geocoding It wants cubicweb.interfaces.

[wsgi] remove ages old hack to set base_url Its meaning has been lost in the mist of time.

[wsgi] also provide an example using werkzeug (if available) Related to #3005509.

[wsgi] add the simplest possible wsgi (debug) server This server is able to: * serve on a given port using the stdlib SimpleHTTPServer * run looping tasks Closes #3005509.

[querier/security] instrument a bit the querier read security checks Related to #2920304

[book] Improve PostgreSQL configuration section * Do not advice for specific PostgreSQL version (point to meta-packages if available in Linux distros); * First mention packages from Linux distros, put the link to official postgres documentation at the end; Closes #2725302.

[js] add a selector string escaping function will help use id strings in jquery selector expressions, e.g: "foo.[subject]:42" -> "foo\.\[subject\]\:42" Related to #3154531.

[merge] backport stable fixes

[test/ldapsource] backout 192a748550c7 which broke RQL2LDAPFilterTC

[rset] make sure rset.description is always a list It's more consistent, and avoids pylint warning "Instance of 'tuple' has no 'append' member"

[schema] edit syntax tree instead of playing with strings for RQLExpressions Lets us support more complex expressions involving e.g. "HAVING" clauses. Closes #3202855

[py3k] note about future warning on __eq__ vs __hash__ Closes #3179561.

[formfields] py3k kill future compat warning Related to #3179561.

[entity] do not raise an AssertionError if the kwargs given to set_relations/attributes is empty Regression was introduced in 3.16 with the new cw_set API. Old set_relations and set_attributes methods did not crash on empty kwargs. Closes #3104019.

[packaging] setup.py: don't exclude skeleton/debian/* from being installed Closes #3192725.

[tests/hooks/integrity] kill old and empty skipped test

[server/session] demote log to debug It can pollute the log very fast. Closes #3203391.

[test] use assertCountEqual instead of assertItemsEqual

[server] fix a number of typos, mostly in docstrings

[skeleton] Install cubes README in Debian packages (Closes #3171971)

[debian] Build-Depends on python-unittest2 | python (>= 2.7) Closes #3175895.

[doc] typos and reformulation

[doc] additional documentation about pip install under both Windows and Debian

spelling: rollbacked -> rolled back

Added tag cubicweb-version-3.17.9, cubicweb-debian-version-3.17.9-1 for changeset 5668d210e49c

merge two default heads

[pkg] prepare 3.17.9

Use the list of sources instead of an iterator in update-feeds looping task This prevents RuntimeError due to dictionary size change that may occur (as a result of a new source being added) during iteration. Closes #3155843.

[security] fix dumb attribute error when inserting read security. Closes #3196891 This has gone undetected because of erroneous tests...

[entity] give a default reasonnable __eq__ and __hash__ to Entity Using the eid. Closes #3179560.

[debian] add some Breaks for backwards compatibility removal The person and comment cubes used to import the cubicweb.mixins module. The inlinedit cube relied on String.startsWith in javascript.

Rename cleanup_interface_sobjects into cleanup_unused_appobjects Interfaces are gone in 3.18 Related to #2782004.

remove cw 3.9 bw compat (bw compat other than the interface -> adapter changes) - cwconfig, doc/admin/setup: docstring adjustment wrt 3.9 & virtualenv - testing/rst: windmill (which is gone from the testing infrastructure) - other docs: "stuff introduced in 3.9" cleanup, as we don't care about the version old features were introduced - server/hooky.py: bw compat for propagation hooks - server/schemaserial.py: pre CWUniqueTogetherConstraint migration support - web.__init__.py: dumps bw import - autoform.py: .action ppty is gone, also deprecate set_action and get_action - baseviews: CSVView.subvid gone long ago, secondary view removal - primary.py: _render_attribute & _render_relation signature change - reledit.py: rvid/default_value bw compat, should_edit_* dropped - webconfig.py: resourcefile is gone - formfields.py: old vocabulary handling - request.py: build_ajax_replace_url, external_resource Related to #2782004.

remove 3.9 bw compat In cw 3.9, interfaces are deprecated and replaced with adapters, yielding a lot of bw compat in many places -- most if this patch is concerned with the interface bw compat - cwvreg: interface cleanup - doc/adapters.rst: interface cleanup - entities/adapters.py, wfobjs.py: interfaces bw compat - entity.py: interfaces bw compat, also get_value, delete, attr_metadata, has_perm, set_related_cache, clear_related_cache, clear_related_cache, related_rql - predicates.py: score_interfaces & implements - interfaces.py & mixins.py: 100% gone - view.py: implement_adapter_compat, unwrap_adapter_compat - calendar.py, editcontroller.py, ibreadcrumbs.py, navigation.py, xmlrss.py: interface bw compat - treeview.py: salvage one function from mixins.py Related to #2782004.

[hooks/security] Defer entity permission checks to an Operation. Some of these checks may currently happen twice within the same transaction and be costly. This should be semantically safe. If people rely on some internal transaction ordering to be allowed early (thus pass) while the condition wouldn't be met at precommit time, their application is broken. It however seems unlikely to happen in the real life (tm). Closes #2932033

[schema] drop very old bw compat (pre 3.5.10) Closes #2925085.

[devtools,etwist] rename TwistedConfiguration to WebConfigurationBase (follows #2919310)
