0.7.0

Sorting Hat 0.7 - (2018-10-02)

NOTICE: Database schema generated by SortingHat < 0.7.0 is still
compatible but older versions can have problems inserting UTF-8
characters of 4 bytes.

Python 2.7 is no longer supported.

Please check "Compatibility between versions" section from README.md file.

New features and improvements:

• Python 2.7 not longer supported

  As Python 2.x will not be maintained after 2020, SortingHat is only
  compatible with Python >= 3.4.

• Low level API

  This API is able to execute basic operations over the database, such
  as adding or removing identities or finding entities. All these operations
  work within a session. Nothing is stored in the database until the
  session is closed. Thus, these functions can be considered as "bricks",
  that combined can create high-level functions.

• Storage of UTF-8 4-bytes characters

  The default charset of UTF-8 (utf8) in MySQL/MariaDB does not support,
  even when they are part of the standard, 4-bytes long characters.
  This means characters like emojis or certain chinese characters cannot
  be inserted. Usually, identities names or usernames have these types of
  characters.

  The charset that fully supports UTF-8 is utf8mb4 using the collation
  utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci. This collation implements the suggested Unicode
  Collation Algorithm (v5.2).

  Using utf8mb4 also implies that the maximum size of char (VARCHAR and
  so on) columns is 191. Indexes cannot be larger than that when using
  InnoDB engine.

  Starting on 0.7 series, SortingHat is using this charset.

• Handle disconnection using pessimistic mode

  SQLAlchemy offers a pessimistic mode to handle database disconnection.
  Setting pool_pre_ping parameter on the database engine will check if
  the database connection is still active when a session of the connection
  pool is reused. This causes a small hit in the performance but it's worth
  it.

• Use a optimistic approach when inserting data

  With this optimistic approach, no more queries to check whether an entity
  exists on the database are run prior to its insertion.

0.6.0

Sorting Hat 0.6 - (2018-03-05)

NOTICE: Database schema generated by SortingHat < 0.6.0 are no longer
compatible. Please check "Compatibility between versions" section from
README.md file

New features and improvements:

• Gender.

  Unique identities gender can be set in the profile using the command
  profile and data will be stored in the table of the same name. This table
  adds two new fields: gender, a free text field to set the gender
  value, and gender_acc, to set the accuracy of the gender - in a range
  of 1 to 100 - when it is set using automatic options.

  The new command autogender has also been added. It assigns a gender
  to each unique identity using the name of the profile and the information
  provided by http://genderize.io. Possible values are male or female.

• Option for reusing a database.

  An existing database can be reused when init command is called. So far,
  when the database was already created, this command raised an exception.

• Version option.

  Calling sortinghat with the option -v | --version prints the version
  of sortinghat running on the system.

• Tests improvements.

  Some minor changes were done in the testing area. The main ones were to
  support MariaDB engine and to use a remote testing database.
