The new API introduced a small behavior change where empty
string values written or stored in a char/text field were
replaced by False (i.e. as if they were NULL).
This was done to mimic the web client behavior, but introduces
a very surprising effect: a.name = ""; assert a.name == "";
would fail. It would also require many more tests in the
code when reading existing required values from the database,
as they could still be False when an empty string value
had previously been stored, for some reason.
After commit f28be81, boolean columns may have more
NULL entries than before. In the (rare) cases where
a boolean column was used for an ORDER clause
(e.g. in the /shop page of website_sale), this
causes a change of the resulting ordering.
By coalescing NULL values to false in SQL,
we make the ordering consistent with what the
framework does for domain expressions with booleans,
and when reading boolean values, that is, NULL is
the same as False.
This avoids storing useless "{}" values
in the database when there are no headers,
and avoids having to update all existing
entries when this column is added.
Just requires simple tests before evaluating
the headers contents.
- [FIX] bounce regex: too many emails were considered as bounce and therefore
not displayed in the chatter and lost for the communication history. The regex
was not correctly looking for the bounce alias in the email_to.
- [FIX] invite email: replying to the invitation email (invitation as new
follower) now replies to the user sending the invitation.
- [FIX] mass_mailing: added a column to store the id of the original email
in addition to the many2one column. The many2one is set to null when deleting
the original email. As the information is necessary, it is saved on another
field. The many2one is necessary for indexes purpose as the inverse of
a one2many.
By default, on binary images read, the server returns the binary size
This is possible that two images have the exact same size
Therefore we trigger the change in case the image value hasn't changed
So the image is re-rendered correctly
In combination with f28be81, this should help speed up
initialization of new boolean columns. psycopg2 handles
bool parameters values just fine inside cr.mogrify()
Boolean fields always default to False in 8.0,
even when they do not have explicit default values.
This causes extra queries in the form:
UPDATE <table> SET <bool_field> = false
WHERE <bool_field> IS NULL;
Those are not necessary as the ORM automatically
folds NULL booleans to False, and can be very
expensive on tables with several million rows,
as the whole table may sometimes need to be
rewritten (can take dozens of minutes)
This is related to commit d31faceb67
(This is to avoid the runbot being yellow if on_change methods have extra keys in the returned value, this is not wrong, the web client will simply ignore them).
