wq.db 1.0 alpha

wq.db 1.0.0a1 is an alpha release of the upcoming 1.0 version of wq.db. A number of components and configuration options were refactored as part of the overall “patterns API cleanup” discussed in the 0.8 release notes.

wq.db.patterns API Refactor

• All “attachments” now use nested serializers instead of being registered as API models (#46)
  • These serializers now generate a XLSForm-like configuration object for use by wq.app (see wq/wq.app#38)
    • unifies the previous ‘parents’, ‘children’ and ‘choices’ config options
    • replaces attachment predicates and attachmentTypes config
  • With the above changes, wq.db.rest is now completely independent from wq.db.patterns (#35). A number of patterns-specific options that were previously auto-inferred are no longer needed or are stored on the serializer class.
• Complete the transition (started in 0.8.2) of the files app into a pattern, wq.db.patterns.file. File instances are now “attachments” for FiledModel subclasses.
• Refactoring:
  • Split JSON form support into a separate library (html-json-forms)
  • Split Natural Key tools into a separate library (#50, see django-natural-keys)
  • Remove admin code (#38)
  • Remove support for “classic” form naming style (#33)

Miscellaneous Cleanup

• Ensure support for Django 1.9 (see tomchristie/django-rest-framework#3785)
• Use new django-mustache library to support Django 1.8+ template engine (#48)
• Remove chart module (see wq/django-rest-pandas#17)
• Auto-autodiscover for wq.db.rest (fixes #52)
• Don’t override manually defined *_id fields on serializers (#42)
• Auto-generate an index page when none is registered
• More flexible geometry detection for GeoJSON support
• Various minor bug fixes
