Generations are a way of updating objects in the database when the application
schema changes. An application schema is essentially the structure of data,
the structure of classes in the case of ZODB or the table descriptions in the
case of a relational database.
This package only contains the ZMI user interface for zope.generations
- Depends now on the extracted zope.generations.
- zope.app.generations depended on zope.app.applicationcontrol but
did not declare it. Modernized dependecy to zope.applicationcontrol as
the needed interface has been moved there.
- Using python's doctest module instead of deprecated
zope.testing.doctest[unit].
- Replaced a testing dependency on zope.app.securitypolicy with one on
zope.securitypolicy.
- Depend on new zope.processlifetime interfaces instead of using
BBB imports from zope.app.appsetup.
- Fix ftesting.zcml due to zope.securitypolicy update.
- Fix tests using a newer zope.publisher that requires zope.login.
- Moved getRootFolder utility method from
zope.app.zopeappgenerations to zope.app.generations.utility.
- Removed not necessary install dependency on zope.app.testing.
- Provide more logging output for the various stages and actions of evolving a
database.
- Fixed bug: A failing last generation would allow starting an app server
without having evolved to the minimum generation.
- Substitute zope.app.zapi by direct calls to its wrapped apis. See
bug 219302.
- Corrected author email and home page address.
- Resolve ZopeSecurityPolicy deprecation warning.
- Initial release independent of the main Zope tree.
