Change log
9.0 (2019-09-27)
Backwards incompatible changes
Drop support for Manual package installation which was deprecated since version 6.0. If you are still using it, switch to Guided package installation as described in Upgrade installation.
Integrate src/icemac/addressbook/base.zcml into src/icemac/addressbook/roles.zcml.
Features
Add a search result handler which renders a birthday list.
Add a cron job which does a daily backup of the database.
Add an archive and the ability to archive persons.
The archive can only be accessed by one of the two new roles:
archive visitor – read only access in the archive
archivist – access to the archive plus ability to un-archive persons
Archived persons cannot be found using the search abilities of the address book.
Add a search result handler which can move persons to the archive.
To disable the archive feature see the archive documentation.
Allow to edit the labels and descriptions of pre-defined fields.
Document how to uninstall the address book.
Add ability to deselect tabs in the main menu.
Users without any roles no longer get HTTP-403 Forbidden but can access a minimal part of the application.
Changes in testing
Switch Selenium tests from Firefox to Chrome by default requiring chromedriver, but allow to keep using Firefox via an environment variable. Details see documentation.
Drop support for profiling using z3c.profiler.
Other changes
Add some operations tips for the address book.
Update most libraries needed for the address book to their newest versions.
Store messages rendered in UI in RAM instead of in ZODB.
Render URLs of the source code and documentation on the PyPI page.
Drop reruns of tests.
Show test failures instantly.
Bug fixes
First time installation no longer asks for migration.
During installation no longer store the admin password in the config file and no longer present the password in clear text during update installation.
8.0 (2018-10-13)
Backwards incompatible changes
No longer install test and debugging infrastructure in a production environment by default.
Rename Apply button to Save.
Add ZEO server running the database. This requires a different commands to start and stop the address book and the database server, see documentation.
Remove scripts which drop into a debugger on an exception and their infrastructure (bin/debug_ajax and bin/debug_pdb).
Other changes
Update most libraries needed for the address book to their newest versions.
7.0.4 (2018-08-05)
No longer show an empty read more URL in the cookie consent banner if no data protection URL is set.
Fix styling issues introduced in version 7.0.
7.0.3 (2018-08-04)
Fix contents of created buildout.cfg.
7.0.2 (2018-08-04)
Fix installation code to work with icemac.install.addressbook >= 1.3.1.
7.0.1 (2018-08-04)
No longer use bootstrap.py of zc.buildout during installation as it can produce endless loops. Expect bin/buildout to be already installed via virtualenv.
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.)
