What's new in CubicWeb 3.13?

CubicWeb 3.13 has been developed for a while and includes some cool stuff:

• generate and handle Apache's modconcat compatible URLs, to minimize the number of HTTP requests necessary to retrieve JS and CSS files, along with a new cubicweb-ctl command to generate a static 'data' directory that can be served by a front-end instead of CubicWeb

• major facet enhancements:

• nicer layout and visual feedback when filtering is in-progress

• new RQLPathFacet to easily express new filters that are more than one hop away from the filtered entities

• a more flexibile API, usable in cases where it wasn't previously possible

• some form handling refactorings and cleanups, notably introduction of a new method to process posted content, and updated documentation

• support for new base types : BigInt, TZDateTime and TZTime (in 3.12 actually for those two)

• write queries optimization, and several RQL fixes on complex queries (e.g. using HAVING, sub-queries...), as well as new support for CAST() function and REGEXP operator

• datafeed source and default CubicWeb xml parsers:

• refactored into smaller and overridable chunks

• easier to configure

• make it work

As usual, the 3.13 also includes a bunch of other minor enhancements, refactorings and bug fixes. Please download and install CubicWeb 3.13 and report any problem on the tracker and/or the mailing-list!

Enjoy!
