This includes some constraints, and - referential integrity. Some consequences are that: - - - disabling integrity hooks no longer disables those checks - - upgrades that modify constraints will fail when running on sqlite - (but upgrades aren't supported on sqlite anyway) - -* for easier instance monitoring, cubicweb can regularly dump some statistics - (basically those exposed by the 'info' and 'gc' views) in json format to a file - -User-visible changes --------------------- - -* the use of fckeditor for text form fields is disabled by default - -* the 'https-deny-anonymous' configuration setting no longer exists - -Code movement -------------- - -The cubicweb.web.views.timeline module (providing the timeline-json, timeline -and static-timeline views) has moved to a standalone cube_ - -.. _cube: https://www.cubicweb.org/project/cubicweb-timeline - -API changes ------------ - -* req.set_cookie's "expires" argument, if not None, is expected to be a - date or a datetime in UTC. It was previously interpreted as localtime - with the UTC offset the server started in, which was inconsistent (we - are not aware of any users of that API). - -* the way to run tests on a postgresql backend has changed slightly, use - cubicweb.devtools.{start,stop}pgcluster in setUpModule and tearDownModule - -* the Connection and ClientConnection objects introduced in CubicWeb 3.19 have - been unified. To connect to a repository, use: - - session = repo.new_session(login, password=...) - with session.new_cnx() as cnx: - cnx.execute(...) - - In tests, the 'repo_cnx' and 'client_cnx' methods of RepoAccess are now - aliases to 'cnx'. - -Deprecated code drops ---------------------- - -* the user_callback api has been removed; people should use plain - ajax functions instead - -* the `Pyro` and `Zmq-pickle` remote repository access methods have - been entirely removed (emerging alternatives such as rqlcontroller - and cwclientlib should be used instead). Note that as a side effect, - "repository-only" instances (i.e. without a http component) are no - longer possible. If you have any such instances, you will need to - rename the configuration file from repository.conf to all-in-one.conf - and run ``cubicweb-ctl upgrade`` to update it. Likewise, remote cubicweb-ctl - shell is no longer available. - -* the old (deprecated since 3.19) `DBAPI` api is completely removed - -* cubicweb.toolsutils.config_connect() has been removed
