v2.0 2013-05-10
===============
.. note:: Starting on v2.0, issue numbers with four digits refer to the old
ticketing system at http://trac.ckan.org and the ones with three digits refer
to GitHub issues. For example:
* #3020 is http://trac.ckan.org/ticket/3020
* #271 is https://github.com/okfn/ckan/issues/271
Some GitHub issues URLs will redirect to GitHub pull request pages.
.. note:: v2.0 is a huge release so the changes listed here are just the
highlights. Bug fixes are not listed.
Note: This version requires a requirements upgrade on source installations
Note: This version requires a database upgrade
Note: This version requires a Solr schema upgrade
Organizations based authorization (see :doc:`authorization`):
CKAN's new "organizations" feature replaces the old authorization system
with a new one based on publisher organizations. It replaces the "Publisher
Profile and Workflow" feature from CKAN 1.X, any instances relying on it will
need to be updated.
* New organization-based authorization and organization of datasets
* Supports private datasets
* Publisher workflow
* New authorization ini file options
New frontend (see :doc:`theming`):
CKAN's frontend has been completely redesigned, inside and out. There is
a new default theme and the template engine has moved from Genshi to
Jinja2. Any custom templates using Genshi will need to be updated, although
there is a :ref:`ckan.legacy_templates` setting to aid in the migration.
* Block-based template inheritance
* Custom jinja tags: {% ckan_extends %}, {% snippet %} and {% url_for %} (#2502, #2503)
* CSS "primer" page for theme developers
* We're now using LESS for CSS
* Scalable font icons (#2563)
* Social sharing buttons (google plus, facebook, twitter)
(this replaces the ckanext-social extension)
* Three-stage dataset creation form (#2501)
* New `paster front-end-build` command does everything needed to build the
frontend for a production CKAN site (runs `paster less` to compile the css
files, `paster minify` to minify the css and js files, etc.)
Plugins & Extensions:
* New plugins toolkit provides a stable set of utility and helper functions
for CKAN plugins to depend on.
* The IDatasetForm plugin interface has been redesigned (note: this breaks
backwards-compatibility with existing IDatasetForm plugins) (#649)
* Many IDatasetForm bugs were fixed
* New example extensions in core, and better documentation for the relevant
plugin interfaces: example_itemplatehelpers (#447),
example_idatasetform (#2750), hopefully more to come in 2.1!
* New IFacets interface that allows to modify the facets shown on various
pages. (#400)
* The get_action() function now automatically adds 'model' and 'session' to
the context dict (this saves on boiler-plate code, and means plugins don't
have to import ckan.model in order to call get_action()) (#172)
Activity Streams, Following & User Dashboard:
* New visual design for activity streams (#2941)
* Group activity streams now include activities for changes to any of the
group's datasets (#1664)
* Group activity streams now appear on group pages (previously they could
only be retrieved via the api)
* Dataset activity streams now appear on dataset pages (previously they could
only be retrieved via the api) (#3024)
* Users can now follow groups (previously you could only follow users or
datasets) (#3005)
* Activity streams and following are also supported for organizations (#505)
* When you're logged into CKAN, you now get a notifications count in the
top-right corner of the site, telling you how many new notifications you
have on your dashboard. Clicking on the count takes you to your dashboard
page to view your notifications. (#3009)
* Optionally, you can also receive notifications by email when you have new
activities on your dashboard (#1635)
* Infinite scrolling of activity streams (if you scroll to the bottom of a
an activity stream, CKAN will automatically load more activities) (#3018)
* Redesigned user dashboard (#3028):
- New dropdown-menu enables you to filter you dashboard activity stream to
show only activities from a particular user, dataset, group or
organization that you're following
- New sidebar shows previews and unfollow buttons (when the activity stream
is filtered)
* New :ref:`ckan.activity_streams_enabled` config file setting allows you to
disable the generation of activity streams (#654)
Data Preview:
* PDF files preview (#2203)
* JSON files preview
* HTML pages preview (in an iframe) (#2888)
* New plugin extension point that allows plugins to add custom data previews
for different data types (#2961)
* Improved Recline Data Explorer previews (CSV files, Excel files..)
* Plain text files preview
API:
* The Action API is now CKAN's default API, and the API documentation has
been rewritten (#357)
Other highlights:
* CKAN now has continuous integration testing at
https://travis-ci.org/okfn/ckan/
* Dataset pages now have <link rel="alternate" type="application/rdf+xml"
links in the HTML headers, allows linked-data tools to find CKAN's RDF
rendering of a dataset's metadata (#413)
* CKAN's DataStore and Data API have been rewritten, and now use PostgreSQL
instead of elasticsearch, so there's no need to install elasticsearch
anymore (this feature was also back-ported to CKAN 1.8) (#2733)
* New Config page for sysadmins (/ckan-admin/config) enables sysadmins to set
the site title, tag line, logo, the intro text shown on the front page,
the about text shown on the /about page, select a theme, and add custom
CSS (#2302, #2781)
* New `paster color` command for creating color schemes
* Fanstatic integration (#2371):
- CKAN now uses Fanstatic to specify required static resource files
(js, css..) for web pages
- Enables each page to only include the static files that it needs,
reducing page loads
- Enables CKAN to use bundled and minified static files, further reducing
page loads
- CKAN's new `paster minify` command is used to create minified js and
css files (#2950) (also see `paster front-end-build`)
* CKAN will now recognise common file format strings such as
"application/json", "JSON", ".json" and "json" as a single file type "json"
(#2416)
* CKAN now supports internalization of strings in javascript files, the new
`paster trans` command is used to pull translatable strings out of
javascript files (#2774, #2750)
* convert_to/from_extras have been fixed to not add quotes around strings (#2930)
* Updated CKAN coding standards (#3020) and CONTRIBUTING.rst file
* Built-in page view counting and 'popular' badges on datasets and resources
There's also a paster command to export the tracking data to a csv file (#195)
* Updated CKAN Coding Standards and new CONTRIBUTING.rst file
* You can now change the sort ordering of datasets on the dataset search page
Deprecated and removed:
* The IGenshiStreamFilter plugin interface is deprecated (#271), use the
ITemplateHelpers plugin interface instead
* The Model, Search and Util APIs are deprecated, use the Action API instead
* Removed restrict_template_vars config setting (#2257)

Note: This version requires a database upgrade
Note: This version does not require a Solr schema upgrade
Major
* New 'follow' feature that allows logged in users to follow other users or
datasets (#2304)
* New user dashboard that shows an activity stream of all the datasets and
users you are following. Thanks to Sven R. Kunze for his work on this (#2305)
* New version of the Datastore. It has been completely rewritten to use
PostgreSQL as backend, it is more stable and fast and supports SQL queries
(#2733)

instructions. Ubuntu 12.04 is now supported for source installs (#2428,#2592)

its arguments and return values (#2345)

API changes and deprecation:
* Template helper functions are now restricted by default. By default only
those helper functions listed in lib.helpers.__allowed_functions__
are available to templates. The full functions can still be made
available by setting `ckan.restrict_template_vars = false` in your ini file.
Only restricted functions will be allowed in future versions of CKAN.
* Deprecated functions related to the old faceting data structure have
been removed: `helpers.py:facet_items()`, `facets.html:facet_sidebar()`,
`facets.html:facet_list_items()`.
Internal use of the old facets datastructure (attached to the context,
`c.facets`) has been superseded by use of the improved facet data structure,
`c.search_facets`. The old data structure is still available on `c.facets`,
but is deprecated, and will be removed in future versions. (#2313)
