Change log

7.0 (2018-08-03)

Backward incompatible changes

• Move function .testing.assert_forbidden() as a method to .testing.Browser.assert_forbidden() and expect that the user is already logged-in thus no longer requiring username as argument.

• Drop .testing.SiteMenu.assert_correct_menu_item_is_tested(). Use .testing.SiteMenu.get_menu_item_title_under_test() instead and compare its result with menu_item_title.

• Change license from ZPL to MIT.

Features

• Add ability to configure the following links during setup. They are shown at the bottom of each page:

  • imprint

  • data protection declaration

• Add a schema_name index to distinguish between entities in the catalog.

• Add an ability to disable handle_errors to debug all exception types. See https://icemacaddressbook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/hacking.html

• Add cookie usage consent dialog.

• Add ability to run tests in parallel.

User interface

• No longer render the form submit buttons on the bottom border of the screen. This did not work very well on mobile devices.

Other

• Update most libraries needed for the address book to their newest versions.

• Drop dependency on gocept.selenium by writing pure selenium tests. This requires geckodriver to run the tests. (See documentation about running the tests.)

6.0.2 (2018-03-17)

• Fix update process to be again able to copy data from the old installation. This got broken in 6.0.

6.0.1 (2018-03-17)

• No longer build lxml via buildout recipe, as it might break and the installation procedure of lxml should now be stable enough.

6.0 (2018-03-16)

Backward incompatible changes

• Add a schema_name index to distinguish between entities in the catalog.

Bug fixes

• Fix the breadcrumbs on the about page and the logout page.

• Searching for * in name search no longer provokes an error.

Other

• Move the documentation from https://bitbucket.org/icemac/icemac.addressbook/wiki/ to https://icemacaddressbook.readthedocs.io

• Deprecate the Manual package installation variant to install this package. It will be no longer supported in the next major version. Switch to Guided package installation now as described in Upgrade installation.

• Update most libraries needed for the address book to their newest versions.

5.0.2 (2017-12-27)

• The install process seems to have to access PyPI using HTTPS nowadays.

5.0.1 (2017-12-27)

• Fix the install scripts to only depend on the standard library.

5.0 (2017-12-26)

Backward incompatible changes

• Use select2 JavaScript library to nicely render the select fields.

Features

• Render breadcrumbs to be able to access the parent object.

Other

• Update most libraries needed for the address book to their newest versions.

• Move .conftest.tmpfile() to .fixtures.tmpfile() for reuse.

• Make some Python 3 preparations as suggested by pylint –py3k -d W1618. (No checks for future-absolute-imports as relative imports are not used here.)

• Change zope.interface.implements[Only] and zope.component.adapts to class decorators.

• Also release as wheel.
