GenericSetup Product Changelog

GenericSetup 1.3 (2007/07/26)

• components: Removed non-functional support for registering objects in nested folders. We only support objects available in the component registry's parent now. The component registry needs to be either acquisition wrapped or have a __parent__ pointer to get to the parent.

GenericSetup 1.3-beta (2007/07/12)

• Guard against situations where encoded text may be compared by the differ. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/471)
• Extend the ZCatalog import/export mechanism to allow removal of metadata columns in addition to adding them. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/483)
• Made sure we register Acquisition free objects as utilities in the components handler.
• Profiles now support version numbers; setup tool tracks profile versions during upgrades.
• Added support for nested upgradeStep directives; expanded upgrade step registry into a real registry object and not just a dictionary.
• Added support for metadata.xml in the profile (read during profile registration) to register profile description, version, and dependencies.
• Deprecated runImportStep and runAllImportSteps in favor of runImportStepFromProfile and runAllImportStepsFromProfile.
• Merged CPS's upgradeStep ZCML directive, w/ corresponding tool support.
• Added a "last imported" date to the list of extension profiles, and to the baseline profile.
• Renamed the "Properties" tab to "Profiles".
• Removed the create_report decoy in the ZMI view methods: there was never any UI for passing any value other than the default, anyway, and the report objects are too useful to omit.
• Refactored the "Properties" tab to separate baseline profiles from extension profiles, marking the option to reset the baseline as potentially dangerous for sites which already have one. Allow importing one or more extension profiles directly (all steps) from the "Properties" tab.
• No longer read the toolset xml and update the toolset regustry on import context change. Doing this only during the toolset step import should be sufficient.
• testing: The test base classes no longer set up any ZCML. This change is not backwards compatible. If you are using these base classes for testing custom handlers, you have to add the necessary ZCML setup and tear down. Using test layers is recommended.
• Added support for importing/exporting Zope 3 component registries by folding in Hanno Schlichting's GSLocalAddons product.

GenericSetup 1.2-beta (2006/09/20)

• tool: Added support for uploading a tarball on the "Import" tab (i.e., one produced on the export tab).
• docs: Added SampleSite demo product.
• ProfileRegistry: Added registerProfile ZCML directive. Using the old registerProfile method in initialize() is now deprecated. See doc/profiles.txt for details.
• ProfileRegistry: product should now be the module name. For backwards compatibility product is still first looked up in Products before searching the default module search path.
• ZCTextIndex handler: Fixed indexed_attr import. (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/CMF/436)
• docs: Added Registering Profiles section to profiles.txt.
• Added support for PageTemplate import/export, modeled closely after existing PythonScript support
• The dependency sorting was highly reliant on steps being added in the right order to work. If import step A depends on import step B which depends on step C, and step C gets processed early, and they were processed in the order A, C, B, then the dependency order would be incorrect. This is now fixed by keeping tack of steps with unresolved dependencies, and trying again after inserting everything else.

GenericSetup 1.1 (2006/04/16)

• ZCatalog handler: Implemented the remove directive for indexes. This allows to write extension profiles that remove or replace indexes.
• getExportStepRegistry had the wrong security declaration

GenericSetup 1.1-beta2 (2006/03/26)

No changes - tag created to coincide with CMF 2.0.0-beta2

GenericSetup 1.1-beta (2006/03/08)

• Allowed subclasses of DAVAwareFileAdapter to override the filename in which the file is stored.
• Added a doc directory including some basic documentation.
• Made GenericSetup a standalone package independent of the CMF
• Added for_ argument to profile registry operations. A profile may be registered and queried as appropriate to a specific site interface; the default value, None, indicates that the profile is relevant to any site. Note that this is essentially an adapter lookup; perhaps we should reimplement it so.
• Forward ported changes from GenericSetup 0.11 and 0.12 (which were created in a separate repository).
• A sequence property with the purge="False" attribute will not be purged, but merged (the sequences are treated as sets, which means that duplicates are removed). This is useful in extension profiles.
• Don't export or purge read-only properties. Correctly purge non-deletable int/float properties.
• Correctly quote XML on export.
