This opens the road to storing arbitrary python objects, e.g. - numpy arrays, and fixes a bug where default values whose truth value - was False were not properly migrated. - -* `symmetric` relations are no more handled by an rql rewrite but are - now handled with hooks (from the `activeintegrity` category); this - may have some consequences for applications that do low-level database - manipulations or at times disable (some) hooks. - -* `unique together` constraints (multi-columns unicity constraints) - get a `name` attribute that maps the CubicWeb contraint entities to - corresponding backend index. - -* BreadCrumbEntityVComponent's open_breadcrumbs method now includes - the first breadcrumbs separator - -* entities can be compared for equality and hashed - -* the ``on_fire_transition`` predicate accepts a sequence of possible - transition names - -* the GROUP_CONCAT rql aggregate function no longer repeats duplicate - values, on the sqlite and postgresql backends - -Deprecation ---------------------- - -* ``pyrorql`` sources have been deprecated. Multisource will be fully dropped - in the next version.
