This store enables a fast - import of data (entity creation, link creation) in CubicWeb, by directly - flushing information in SQL. This may only be used with PostgreSQL, as it - requires the 'COPY FROM' command. - - -API changes ------------ - -* Orm: `set_attributes` and `set_relations` are unified (and - deprecated) in favor of `cw_set` that works in all cases. - -* db-api/configuration: all the external repository connection information is - now in an URL (see `#2521848 `_), - allowing to drop specific options of pyro nameserver host, group, etc and fix - broken `ZMQ `_ source. Configuration related changes: - - * Dropped 'pyro-ns-host', 'pyro-instance-id', 'pyro-ns-group' from the client side - configuration, in favor of 'repository-uri'. **NO MIGRATION IS DONE**, - supposing there is no web-only configuration in the wild. - - * Stop discovering the connection method through `repo_method` class attribute - of the configuration, varying according to the configuration class. This is - a first step on the way to a simpler configuration handling. - - DB-API related changes: - - * Stop indicating the connection method using `ConnectionProperties`. - - * Drop `_cnxtype` attribute from `Connection` and `cnxtype` from - `Session`. The former is replaced by a `is_repo_in_memory` property - and the later is totaly useless. - - * Turn `repo_connect` into `_repo_connect` to mark it as a private function. - - * Deprecate `in_memory_cnx` which becomes useless, use `_repo_connect` instead - if necessary. - -* the "tcp://" uri scheme used for `ZMQ `_ - communications (in a way reminiscent of Pyro) is now named - "zmqpickle-tcp://", so as to make room for future zmq-based lightweight - communications (without python objects pickling). - -* Request.base_url gets a `secure=True` optional parameter that yields - an https url if possible, allowing hook-generated content to send - secure urls (e.g. when sending mail notifications) - -* Dataimport ucsvreader gets a new boolean `ignore_errors` - parameter. - - -Unintrusive API changes ------------------------ - -* Drop of `cubicweb.web.uicfg.AutoformSectionRelationTags.bw_tag_map`, - deprecated since 3.6. - - -User interface changes ----------------------- - -* The RQL search bar has now some auto-completion support. It means - relation types or entity types can be suggested while typing. It is - an awesome improvement over the current behaviour ! - -* The `action box` associated with `table` views (from `tableview.py`) - has been transformed into a nice-looking series of small tabs; it - means that the possible actions are immediately visible and need not - be discovered by clicking on an almost invisible icon on the upper - right. - -* The `uicfg` module has moved to web/views/ and ui configuration - objects are now selectable. This will reduce the amount of - subclassing and whole methods replacement usually needed to - customize the ui behaviour in many cases. - -* Remove changelog view, as neither cubicweb nor known - cubes/applications were properly feeding related files. - - -Other changes -------------- - -* 'pyrorql' sources will be automatically updated to use an URL to locate the source - rather than configuration option. 'zmqrql' sources were broken before this change, - so no upgrade is needed... - -* Debugging filters for Hooks and Operations have been added. - -* Some cubicweb-ctl commands used to show the output of `msgcat` and - `msgfmt`; they don't anymore.
