Notes
|
|
Updated: $Date$
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
* Consistency fix: in settings.py, name directory settings consistently with
|
|
..._DIR; reserving ..._PATH for settings with PATH semantics (':'-separated lists
|
|
of directories)
|
|
|
|
* For documents with Yang modules, add links to the extracted modules (possibly in
|
|
multiple formats -- pyang can generate a large number of alternative formats)
|
|
|
|
* When we get to the point where we can produce pdf from xml+media, remove the
|
|
pdf upload possibility -- it's a definite attack vector. Possibly start scanning
|
|
pdf files for /JS and /JavaScript (and workarounds to hide Javascript)
|
|
|
|
* Add one or more API description pages with examples of common queries
|
|
|
|
* Add role lists and additional relevant information to the personal profile
|
|
pages
|
|
|
|
* Increase the requirements on valid email addresses in draft submissions --
|
|
contacting authors is hard if they don't provide an email address.
|
|
|
|
* Make it possible to let time run backwards in the database (creation timestamps,
|
|
universal changelog)
|
|
|
|
* Change slugs which were limited by the former 8-character slug length limit
|
|
to be more readable (needs both code changes and migrations).
|
|
|
|
* Additional charts, various statistics views.
|
|
|
|
* For graphing and mapping various numbers relative to country population,
|
|
integrate population data from the world bank,
|
|
http://databank.worldbank.org/data/reports.aspx?source=2&series=SP.POP.TOTL&country=
|
|
(or some other source, if a better is found). WorldOmeters has running counters,
|
|
but ask for a lot of money for even one.
|
|
|
|
* Notable New Django Features in 1.8:
|
|
|
|
+ New data types: UUIDField, DurationField
|
|
+ Query Expressions (enhanced expressivity, conditionals, database functions)
|
|
+ Improved TestCase fixture loading, additional .setUpTestData() method.
|
|
- Support for alternative template engines
|
|
- Security enhancements (request/response cycle middleware)
|
|
- PostgreSQL-specific fields
|
|
|
|
* Notable New Django Features in 1.9:
|
|
|
|
+ New on_commit() hook, for post-commit actions, for instance sending email
|
|
+ Password validation option with pluggable validators
|
|
+ Running tests in parallel
|
|
+ DateTimeFields can be queried with date
|
|
- Permission mixins for class-based views
|
|
- New admin style
|
|
|
|
|
|
* WG document state slug renaming.
|
|
|
|
adopt-wg -> adopted-by-wg
|
|
c-adopt -> candidate-for-wg-adoption
|
|
chair-w -> waiting-for-chair-goahead
|
|
dead -> dead-wg-draft
|
|
info -> adopted-for-wg-info-only
|
|
parked
|
|
sub-pub -> submitted-for-publication
|
|
wg-cand -> wg-candidate
|
|
wg-doc -> wg-document
|
|
wg-lc -> wg-last-call
|
|
writeupw -> waiting-for-shepherd-writeup
|
|
|
|
* Clean up and normalise the use of canceled / cancelled. User-visible
|
|
strings should already be all CANCELLED except when manually entered.
|
|
|
|
* DjangoCon Europe 2017 Notes:
|
|
|
|
- Add tracing of Django Query methods from code through templates to the
|
|
sql_queries list provided by 'django.template.context_processors.debug'
|
|
(DONE)
|
|
|
|
- Consider rewriting user switches using feature flags, for instance with
|
|
gargoyle.
|
|
|
|
- There is now a Django-REST-Framework add-on app which makes it easier to
|
|
do something similar with DRF as with Tastypie. As Tastypie is not being
|
|
actively maintained, and DRF seems to have better performance, consider
|
|
building /api/v2 using DRF and drf-schema-adapter / drf-auto-endpoint.
|
|
|
|
- Consider adding JWT (RFC7519) support for /api/v1 /api/v2, to generate an
|
|
access token from a login, and use that instead of session support for
|
|
access control to access limited endpoints.
|
|
|
|
- Once we're on Django 3.5, start using static type annotations to improve
|
|
early discovery of incorrect function/method usage. There are add-on
|
|
files avaliable for Django which provide type annotation for Django
|
|
functions and methods, and the Python stdlib is type annotated starting
|
|
with Python 3.5. Check static typing violations with 'mypy'.
|
|
|
|
- Consider providing a user-selectable option to import photos from
|
|
gravatar.
|
|
|
|
- Consider using django-12factor to apply part of the 12-factor app
