Backward Incompatibilities

From version 0.8.6 (first public release) I keep track of backward incompatibilities:

0.9.3

requirements:sqlalchemy now needs to be at least rel 0.5.4 as we’re using AttributeExtension to provide better MVC support

0.9.2

hooks:on__field_change now pass also the field. The demo snippet already had this arguments but was always None and was not documented totals:added model, path, iter to sum method of totals. Impact only on customized Totals

0.9.1

hooks:on_completion is now triggered when you press Return, both for tables and masks. Previously was triggered on Return for Masks and on click for table.

0.9.0

Mask:

a fix in the layout machinery make setting width specs working... that means you may need to fine tune the width of your entries. You set the width of an entry as follows:

last_name:40
first_name:30-
sex:1>

the first sets 40 chars, the second sets 30 that would grow to use available space, the latter would use 2 chars and would right align it (compared to other entries)

mappers:

if a relationship has cascade=delete-orphan set, and you add an object by completion Sqlalchemy will complain that there’s a missing object. With SA 0.5 this is automatically done, with SA 0.6 this is no longer supported by sqlkit. You are supposed to explicitly add info on the Column as explained in sqlkit.fields.ForeignKeyField.add_related_object()

0.8.7

Table:

• self.current points to self.get_current_obj(), no longer get_selected_obj()
• button-press-event now has one more argument: treeview. This is necessary due to the fact that table now have views and t.treeview only points to the main view’s treeview.

Table & Mask:

• now keyword table/class/mapper are deprecated in favor to setting it as first argument.

Hooks:

arguments in hooks of related widgets where not as documented: a hook on a sqlwidget acting on a related widget would receive the related widget as first argument rather that the main one. Look at the the following case:

lay = """
   user
   o2m=addresses
"""
class Hook(object):
   def on_change_value__addresses__domain(self, sqlwidget, field_name, value, fkvalue):
      pass

m = SqlMask(User,... hooks=Hook())
m_address = m.related.addresses

the hook instance will receive m as argument where previously received m_addresses
