The new API requires at least one event and will automatically save a
snapshot of the document and related state. Document.save() will now
throw an exception if called directly, as the new API is intended to
ensure that documents are saved with both an appropriate snapsnot and
relevant history log, both of which are easily defeated by just
calling .save() directly.
To simplify things, the snapshot is generated after the changes to a
document have been made (in anticipation of coming changes), instead
of before as was usual.
While revising the existing code to work with this API, a couple of
missing events was discovered:
- In draft expiry, a "Document has expired" event was only generated
in case an IESG process had started on the document - now it's
always generated, as the document changes its state in any case
- Synchronization updates like title and abstract amendmends from the
RFC Editor were silently (except for RFC publication) applied and
not accompanied by a descriptive event - they now are
- do_replace in the Secretariat tools now adds an event
- Proceedings post_process in the Secretariat tools now adds an event
- do_withdraw in the Secretariat tools now adds an event
A migration is needed for snapshotting all documents, takes a while to
run. It turns out that a single document had a bad foreign key so the
migration fixes that too.
