2022¶

This is the 2022 change log for Lino. General information about how to read and maintain this document in Documenting changes.

2022-12-31¶

Bugfixes in lino: collectstatic didn’t build site cache. Removed a call to Actor.request_from(). Bugfix in xl: removed two calls to Actor.request_from().

2022-12-30¶

Release to pypi: noi, lino, xl

2022-12-29¶

Lino has a new plugin lino_xl.lib.subscriptions. Tickets are no longer assigned to the service report via their project (Ticket.site) but via the new field Ticket.order (#4757). Service reports are now made by generating an invoice instead of using the working.ServiceReport model (#3301).

After this upgrade it’s important to run checkdata with --fix in order to fill the new field order of existing tickets. After this we can remove all projects named for their customer.

As a side effect there are a series of changes:

In the core: lino.core.requests.BaseRequest.show() (used in doctests) didn’t work for display mode “list”. lino.core.actors.Actor.request_from() now raises an exception, and the last remaining usages have been removed from our code base. The repr() of a lino.core.plugins.Plugin now also shows the value of needs_plugins. The commands pm prep and makehelp now do nothing on a slave site (i.e. when lino.core.site.Site.master_site is set). (#4757) lino.modlib.memo.Previewable no has a lino.core.fields.TableRow.as_paragraph() method. The pm dump2py command no longer writes checkdata messages (data problem message) to the dump.

In the XL: invoicing areas are now a choicelist lino_xl.lib.invoicing.InvoicingAreas, no longer a model. The invoice generator that generated a target invoice item is now stored only for rows with the invoicing product. New model mixins InvoicingTargetVoucher and InvoicingTargetItem instead of inject_field() (this makes lino_presto.lib.invoicing useless). The lino_xl.lib.thirds plugin has been removed. Renamed lino_xl.lib.accounting.PartnerRelated to lino_xl.lib.accounting.PayableRelated. Removed model mixin lino_xl.lib.contacts.PartnerDocument, which wasn’t used anywhere. New model mixins lino_xl.lib.contacts.PartnerRelated and lino_xl.lib.contacts.PartnerPrintable (extracted from lino_xl.lib.trading.SalesDocument and lino_xl.lib.accounting.PayableRelated)

2022-12-10¶

2022-10-18¶

lino.core.site.Site.project_dir is now a pathlib.Path object (no longer unipath.Path).

New attribute lino.core.site.Site.master_site replaces the “manual” inheriting of DATABASE and SECRET_KEY when running a Lino site with multiple front ends.

Release to pypi: lino, xl, …

2022-10-16¶

Implement DISPLAY_MODE_LIST to call row_as_paragraph on every row and return html string.

2022-09-29¶

lino.modlib.publisher no longer uses templates. The publisher_page_template is replaced by get_publisher_chunks() and publisher_item_template by lino.core.fields.TableRow.as_paragraph().

The lino.core.model.Model.as_list_item() method has been renamed to lino.core.fields.TableRow.as_paragraph() and is now expected to return a HTML string, not an etree element, and this string must no longer include the enclosing <li> tag. Instead of writing a custom as_paragraph() method on the Model, you can now write a row_as_paragraph method on the actor. New shortcut method row_as_paragraph.

2022-09-27¶

Replace AbstractTable.display_mode_main and AbstractTable.display_mode_slave by AbstractTable.display_mode, which now takes a “tuple of tuples” as the value instead of “string”, where the inner tuples must contain only two values where the first value shell be an integer that indecates the max width (in characters) of the table view and the second value contains the actual display mode.

2022-09-22¶

Release to PyPi: Lino, XL, welfare, welcht

2022-09-18¶

Lino now automatically generates a comment of style “Created a new ticket” when a Commentable database row has been created. New attribute Commentable.create_comment_template. This functionally replaces what has been done until now by :class:SpawnTicket
