• Porcupine Server 0.6 file released: porcupine-0.6-win32.exe

  NEW: Object indexing support including unique indexes per container. Currently, the indexes are used for common database usage patterns such as getting the children of a container, but not yet fully leveraged by OQL. NEW: Added multi-processing support for the asynchrounous TCP-IP services (requires Python 2.6). NEW: Added conditional Etag support by using the provided "porcupine.filters.etag" decorator or the "porcupine.filters.caching.Etag" pre-processing filter. NEW: New database and cookie based session managers. NEW: Added support for shortcuts by using the new "porcupine.systemObjects.Shortcut" content type. NEW: Cascade deletes for Relator1 and RelatorN data types. NEW: QuiX now includes a lightweight rich text editor based on Cameron Adams' work (http://www.themaninblue.com/). NEW: QuiX now supports auto sized labels, icons, buttons and boxes. The dimensions of these kind of widgets are automatically adjusted based on their contents. NEW: Added themes support for QuiX. NEW: New "QuiX.queryString" function for getting query string parameters. NEW: New "QuiX.baseUrl" setting that contains the toolkit's root folder. NEW: QuiX now includes a JSON parser. See "QuiX.parsers.JSON". NEW: QuiX now has a client side persistence module based on PersistJS (http://pablotron.org/?cid=1557). NEW: New "QuiX.utils.hashlib" module. NEW: Ability for having persistent datasets on the client side by using smart conditional Etags. NEW: QuiX now supports IE 8, Safari 4 and Opera 9. NEW: New method "setValue" for QuiX select lists. NEW: New "hbox" and "vbox" shortcuts for horixontal and vertical boxes. OPT: QuiX now has namespaces (i.e XButton is now QuiX.ui.Button). The old naming convention is kept for backwards compatibility. OPT: "db.getItem" no longer raises an ObjectNotFound exception. Instead None is returned. OPT: "relCc" attribute of relators and references now accepts base classes. OPT: server side XMLRPC encoding speed improvements. OPT: Porcupine OQL is now using PLY 2.5. OPT: New implementation of "QuiX.innerText" function. OPT: The "setExpiration" method of the HttpResponse class now accepts a "cache_type" optional argument. The default value is "private". OPT: New refactored transactions. Transactions are now non-blocking by using the DB_TXN_NOWAIT flag. OPT: Otimized session management. OPT: Optimized asyncore loop by using longer timeouts. OPT: Do not retrieve session info for static files. OPT: Ability to set widget overflow values per axis i.e "auto hidden". OPT: "porcupineadmin.py -c" now performs disaster recovery. OPT: The "_safetype" class attribute of data type classes now accepts a list of the allowed Python types. OPT: If the bsddb module is not present then try to import bsddb3, since bsddb is removed from the latest Python versions. OPT: The "@db.transactional" decorator now accepts an optional "nosync" argument for having faster but non durable transactions. OPT: Ability to have the data and log files in different locations by using the "bdb_log_dir" setting in the porcupine configuration file. OPT: QuiX now includes a universal base Widget script. FIX: Fixed QuiX's "onunload" event (it was fired only when the destroy method of a widget was explicitly called) FIX: Fixed __props__ generation when using codegen. FIX: Fixed internal redirection. FIX: "padding" is now a valid parameter for QuiX windows. FIX: Fixed hidden buttons. DEP: "HttpContext.current()" is deprecated. Use "from porcupine import context" instead. DEP: Containers no longer have the "_subfolders" and "_items" attributes. This kind of info is now derived from indexes allowing hundreds of thousands descendants with no performance penalty. DEP: Most of the API methods are deprecrated due to PEP8 alignment. Check the server's log for deprecated calls. DEP: Removed all __slots__ attributes from all schema related classes. DEP: "porcupine.core.servicetypes.asyncBaseServer.BaseRequest" is now "porcupine.core.networking.request.BaseRequest" DEP: "porcupine.security.objectAccess.getAccess" is deprecated. Use "porcupine.utils.permsresolver.get_access" instead. DEP: QuiX boxes are no longer redrawn when removing a child widget. The developer should take care of this. DEP: "QuiX.getOS" is deprecated use "QuiX.utils.BrowserInfo.OS" instead.
