This introduces a new dependency on six, to handle + python2/python3 compatibility. + +* new cubicweb.dataimport.massive_store module, a postgresql-specific store + using the COPY statement to accelerate massive data imports. This + functionality was previously part of cubicweb-dataio (there are some API + differences with that previous version, however). + +* cubes custom sql scripts are executed before creating tables. This allows + them to create new types or extensions. + +User-visible changes +-------------------- + +* the ldapfeed source now depends on the `ldap3` module instead of + `python-ldap`. + +* replies don't get an ``Expires`` header by default. However when they do, + they also get a coherent ``Cache-Control``. + +* data files are regenerated at each request, they are no longer cached by + ``cubicweb.web.PropertySheet``. Requests for data files missing the instance + hash are handled with a redirection instead of a direct reply, to allow + correct cache-related reply headers. + +API changes +----------- + +* ``config.repository()`` creates a new Repository object each time, instead of + returning a cached object + +* migration scripts, as well as other scripts executed by ``cubicweb-ctl + shell``, are loaded with the print_function flag enabled (for backwards + compatibility, if that fails they are re-loaded without that flag) + +* the ``cw_fti_index_rql_queries`` method on entity classes is replaced by + ``cw_fti_index_rql_limit``, a generator which yields ``ResultSet`` objects + containing entities to be indexed. By default, entities are returned 1000 at + a time. + +* ``IDownloadableAdapter`` API is clarified: ``download_url``, + ``download_content_type`` and ``download_file_name`` return unicode objects, + ``download_data`` returns bytes. + +* the ``Repository.extid2eid()`` entry point for external sources is deprecated. + Imports should use one of the stores from the ``cubicweb.dataimport`` package + instead. + +* the ``cubicweb.repoapi.get_repository()`` function's ``uri`` argument should + no longer be used. + +* the generic datafeed xml parser is deprecated in favor of the "store" API + introduced in cubicweb 3.21. + +* the session manager lives in the ``sessions`` registry instead of ``components``. + +Deprecated code drops +--------------------- + +* the ``cubicweb.server.hooksmanager`` module was removed + +* the ``Repository.pinfo()`` method was removed
