Stalker Changes
===============

0.2.0.b9
========

* **SOM:**

* **New:** Added **Version.latest_published_version** and
**Version.is_latest_published_version()**.
* **Fix:** Fixed **Version.__eq__()**, now Stalker correctly distinguishes
different Version instances.
* **New:** Added **Repository.to_linux_path()**,
**Repository.to_windows_path()**, **Repository.to_osx_path()** and
**Repository.to_native_path()** to the **Repository** class.

* **WebUI:**

* **Update:** All the date values are now returned as **UTC String** and
stored in database as UTC datetime thus Stalker now supports Time Zones.
* **Fix:** Fixed all the dialogs with TimeTextBox inputs, where the
date portion was reset to epoch by the widget itself, causing a change in
Day Light Saving of the users locale and the dialog was reporting wrong
date time values. Now in those dialogs, on submit a new date object is
created or the DateTextBox widget value is used and the time portion of the
Date object is updated from the TimeTextBox. This way, it is guaranteed to
get correct date and time values.
* **Fix:** Fixed Studio create/update dialog, it is now correctly setting the
start and end hours of a non working day.

* Fixed `admin` users department initialization.
* Added ``thumbnail`` attribute to the SimpleEntity class which is a reference
to a Link instance, showing the path of the thumbnail.
* Fixed Circular Dependency bug in Task class, where a parent of a newly
created task is depending to another task which is set as the dependee for
this newly created task (T1 -> T3 -> T2 -> T1 (parent relation) -> T3 -> T2
etc.).
* jQueryGantt: Moving any child task will adjust the parent start and end dates
so they fit to the children.

0.2.0.a7
========

* Changed these default setting value names to corresponding new names:

``DAY_ORDER``, ``DAILY_WORKING_HOURS``)
* Added a new variable for setting the task time resolution called
``TIME_RESOLUTION``.

* stalker.models.project.Project:

* Removed Project.project_tasks attribute, use Project.tasks directly to get
all the Tasks in that project. For root task you can do a quick query::

Task.query.filter(Task.project==proj_id).filter(Task.parent==None).all()

This will also return the Assets, Sequences and Shots in that project,
which are also Tasks.
* Users are now assigned to Projects by appending them to the Project.users
list. This is done in this way to allow a reduced list of resources to be
shown in the Task creation dialogs.

WorkingHours.
* Added a new attribute to Project class called ``working_hours`` which holds
stalker.models.project.WorkingHours instances to manage the Project working
hours. It will directly be passed to TaskJuggler.

* Removed the Task.task_of attribute, use Task.parent to get the owner of
this Task.
* Task now has two new attributes called Task.parent and Task.children which
allow more complex Task-to-Task relation.
* Secondary table name for holding Task to Task dependency relation is
renamed from ``Task_Tasks`` to ``Task_Dependencies``.
* check_circular_dependency function is now accepting a third argument which
is the name of the attribute to be investigated for circular relationship.
It is done in that way to be able to use the same function in searching for
circular relations both in parent/child and depender/dependee relations.

* ScheduleMixin:

* Added a new attribute to ScheduleMixin for time resolution adjustment.
Default value is 1 hour and can be set with
stalker.conf.defaults.TIME_RESOLUTION. Any finer time than the resolution
is rounded to the closest multiply of the resolution. It is possible to set
it from microseconds to years. Although 1 hour is a very reasonable
resolution which is also the default resolution for TaskJuggler.

* Renamed the ``start_date`` attribute to ``start``.
* Renamed the ``end_date`` attribute to ``end``

* Removed the TaskableEntity.

more complex Task relation combined with the new parent/child relation of
Tasks. Use Asset.children or Asset.tasks to reach the child tasks of that
asset (same with Sequence and Shot classes).
* stalker.models.shot.Shot:

* Removed the sequence and introduced sequences attribute in Shot class. Now
one shot can be in more than one Sequence. Allowing more complex
Shot/Sequence relations..
* Shots can now be created without a Sequence instance. The sequence
attribute is just used to group the Shots.
* Shots now have a new attribute called ``scenes``, holding Scene instances.
It is created to group same shots occurring in the same scenes.

stalker.conf.defaults.TICKET_WORKFLOW dictionary to define the workflow and
stalker.conf.defaults.TICKET_STATUS_ORDER for the order of the ticket
statuses.

* Added a new class called ``Scene`` to manage Shots with another property.
* Removed the ``output_path`` attribute in FilenameTemplate class.

* Added 'StartDate', 'EndDate' and 'Duration' field to add_project page.
'StartDate', 'EndDate' properties are written on database.
* jQueryGannt:

* Gannt view is now communicating with Stalker correctly. The only left issue
is the end date value is not properly shown in the gannt view.
* Updated the jQueryGannt css's to work with Stalker and Dojo.

* Project page is redesigned. SplitContainer is removed. All contents are
displayed in TabContainer. New Contents in TabContainer are:

Project instance info.
* User overview page is now reflection the new design.

0.2.0.a5
========

* The ``code`` attribute of the SimpleEntity is now introduced as a separate
mixin. To let it be used by the classes it is really needed.
* The ``query`` method is now converted to a property so it is now possible to
use it like a property as in the SQLAlchemy.orm.Session as shown below::

from stalker import Project
Project.query.all() # instead of Project.query().all()

* ScheduleMixin.due_date is renamed to ScheduleMixin.end_date.
* Added a new class attribute to SimpleEntity called ``__auto_name__`` which
controls the naming of the instances and instances derived from SimpleEntity.
If ``__auto_name__`` is set to True the ``name`` attribute of the instance
will be automatically generated and it will have the following format::

{{ClassName}}_{{UUID4}}

Here are a couple of naming examples::

Ticket_74bb46b0-29de-4f3e-b4e6-8bcf6aed352d
Version_2fa5749e-8cdb-4887-aef2-6d8cec6a4faa

converted to string, so given a non string value will raise TypeError.
* Structure.custom_template now only accepts strings and None, setting it to
anything else will raise a TypeError.
* Two Type's for FilenameTemplate's are created by default when initializing
the database, first is called "Version" and it is used to define
FilenameTemplates which are used for placing Version source files. The second
one is called "Reference" and it is used when injecting references to a given
class. Along with the FilenameTemplate.target_entity_type this will allow one
to create two different FilenameTemplates for one class::

# first get the Types
vers_type = Type.query()\
.filter_by(target_entity_type="FilenameTemplate")\
.filter_by(type="Version")\
.first()

ref_type = Type.query()\
.filter_by(target_entity_type="FilenameTemplate")\
.filter_by(type="Reference")\
.first()

# lets create a FilenameTemplate for placing Asset Version files.
f_ver = FilenameTemplate(
target_entity_type="Asset",
type=vers_type,
path="Assets/{{asset.type.code}}/{{asset.code}}/{{task.type.code}}",
filename="{{asset.code}}_{{version.take_name}}_{{task.type.code}}_v{{'%03d'|version.version_number}}{{link.extension}}"
output_path="{{version.path}}/Outputs/{{version.take_name}}"
)

# and now define a FilenameTemplate for placing Asset Reference files.
# no need to have an output_path here...
f_ref = FilenameTemplate(
target_entity_type="Asset",
type=ref_type,
path="Assets/{{asset.type.code}}/{{asset.code}}/References",
filename="{{link.type.code}}/{{link.id}}{{link.extension}}"
)

* stalker.db.register() now accepts only real classes instead of class names.
This way it can store more information about classes.
* Status.bg_color and Status.fg_color attributes are now simple integers. And
the Color class is removed.
* StatusMixin.status is now a ForeignKey to a the Statuses table, thus it is a
real Status instance instead of an integer showing the index of the Status in
the related StatusList. This way the Status of the object will not change if
the content of the StatusList is changed.
* Added new attribute Project.project_tasks which holds all the direct or
indirect Tasks created for that project.
* User.login_name is renamed to User.login.
* Removed the ``first_name``, ``last_name`` and ``initials`` attributes from
User class. Now the ``name`` and ``code`` attributes are going to be used,
thus the ``name`` attribute is no more the equivalent of ``login`` and the
``code`` attribute is doing what was ``initials`` doing previously.

0.2.0.a3
========

* Status class now has two new attributes ``bg_color`` and ``fg_color`` to hold
the UI colors of the Status instance. The colors are Color instances.

0.2.0.a2
========

* SimpleEntity now has an attribute called ``generic_data`` which can hold any
kind of ``SOM`` object inside and it is a list.
* Changed the formatting rules for the ``name`` in SimpleEntity class, now it
can start with a number, and it is not allowed to have multiple whitespace
characters following each other.
* The ``source`` attribute in Version is renamed to ``source_file``.
* The ``version`` attribute in Version is renamed to ``version_number``.
* The ``take`` attribute in Version is renamed to ``take_name``.
* The ``version_number`` in Version is now generated automatically if it is
skipped or given as None or it is too low where there is already a version
number for the same Version series (means attached to the same Task and has
the same ``take_name``.
* Moved the User class to ``stalker.models.auth module``.
* Removed the ``stalker.ext.auth`` module because it is not necessary anymore.
Thus the User now handles all the password conversions by itself.
* ``PermissionGroup`` is renamed back to Group
again to match with the general naming of the authorization concept.
* Created two new classes for the Authorization system, first one is called
Permission and the second one is a Mixin which is called ACLMixin which adds
ACLs to the mixed in class. For now, only the User and Group classes are
mixed with this mixin by default.
* The declarative Base class of SQLAlchemy is now created by binding it to a
ORMClass (a random name) which lets all the derived class to have a method
called ``query`` which will bypass the need of calling
``DBSession.query(class_)`` but instead just call ``class_.query()``::

from stalker.models.auth import User
user_1 = User.query().filter_by(name='a user name').first()


0.2.0.a1
========

* Converted the whole system to a Pyramid Web application. If the previous
implementations investigated, it will be understood that it was only the
database model of a Web Application.
* Changed the ``db.setup`` arguments. It is now accepting a dictionary instead
of just a string to comply with the SQLAlchemy scaffold and this dictionary
should contain keys for the SQLAlchemy engine setup. There is another utility
that comes with Pyramid to setup the database under the `scripts` folder, it
is also working without any problem with stalker.db.
* The ``session`` variable is renamed to ``DBSession`` and is now a scopped
session, so there is no need to use ``DBSession.commit`` it will be handled
by the system it self.
* Even though the ``DBSession`` is using the Zope Transaction Manager extension
normally, in the database tests no extension is used because the transaction
manager was swallowing all errors and it was a little weird to try to catch
this errors out of the ``with`` block.
* Refactored the code, all the models are now in separate python files, but can
be directly imported from the main stalker module as shown::

from stalker import User, Department, Task

By using this kind of organization, both development and usage will be eased
out.

* ``task_of`` now only accepts TaskableEntity instances.
* Updated the examples. It is now showing how to extend SOM correctly.
* Updated the references to the SOM classes in docstrings and rst files.
* Removed the ``Review`` class. And introduced the much handier Ticket class.
Now reviewing a data is the process of creating Ticket's to that data.
* The database is now initialized with a StatusList and a couple of Statuses
appropriate for Ticket instances.
* The database is now initialized with two Type instances ('Enhancement' and
'Defect') suitable for Ticket instances.
* StatusMixin now stores the status attribute as an Integer showing the index
of the Status in the ``status_list`` attribute but when asked for the value
of ``StatusMixin.status`` attribute it will return a proper Status instance
and the attribute can be set with an integer or with a proper Status
instance.
