5.0

📅 2020-07-30

• Added a storage backend framework, including S3 and Swift backends.

• Changed configuration file format due to new storage backends:

  • renamed backend parameter to database in archive section
  • added storage parameter to archive section
  • added new sections for fs, s3, and 'swift`
  • moved root and use_symlinks parameters from archive section
    to fs section
  • added tmp_root parameter to s3 and swift sections

• Added support for pg8000 as postgresql driver. Added 'library'
  parameter to 'postgresql' section to specify library to use.

• Added a basic test/coverage framework.

• Changed the syntax for defining namespace properties, allowing
  one to specify if a property should be indexed in the database backend.
  The old approach is still supported for backward compatibility.

• Added -c/--catalogue-only option to muninn-remove.

• Added support for sub-queries in is_source_of and is_derived_from
  (specify a sub-query instead of a uuid).

• Added support for searching on UUID directly (without uuid==).

• Several fixes for NOT expressions in queries.

• Improved querying on NULL properties. For example, for 'property != b',
  we now also return products for which b is NULL.

• Added property_names argument to archive.retrieve_properties().

• Added archive.delete_properties().

• Fixed issue with intra-archive symlinks without enclosing dir (resulting
  in broken symlinks).

• Fixed issue where product hashes were not actually verified.

• Made product hashing compatible with Python 3 (and using UTF-8 encoding
  before hashing, instead of the current filesystem encoding).
