Consider the following example:
class Foo(models.Model):
_name = 'foo'
_columns = {
'state': fields.selection([('a', 'A')]),
}
class Bar(models.Model):
_inherit = 'foo'
state = fields.Selection(selection_add=[('b', 'B')])
The attribute 'column' of the field does not have the full selection list,
therefore the column object cannot not be reused, even a copy of it. The
solution is to systematically recreate the column from the field's final
specification, except for function fields that have no sensible way for being
recreated.
If a selection field is defined by a list as selection, such as:
state = fields.Selection([('a', 'A'), ('b', 'B')])
one can extend it by inheritance by redefining the field, as:
state = fields.Selection(selection_add=[('c', 'C')])
The result is that the selection field will have the list
[('a', 'A'), ('b', 'B'), ('c', 'C')] as selection.
A squashed merge is required as the conversion of the apiculture branch from
bzr to git was not correctly done. The git history contains irrelevant blobs
and commits. This branch brings a lot of changes and fixes, too many to list
exhaustively.
- New orm api, objects are now used instead of ids
- Environements to encapsulates cr uid context while maintaining backward compatibility
- Field compute attribute is a new object oriented way to define function fields
- Shared browse record cache
- New onchange protocol
- Optional copy flag on fields
- Documentation update
- Dead code cleanup
- Lots of fixes
