Change log

9.0.1 (2019-10-04)

  • Update to a trollius version which is still on PyPI.

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.)
