Changes and deprecations
The default of allowing anyone to create datasets, groups and organizations
has been changed to False. It is advised to ensure you set all of the
:ref:authorization-settings options explicitly in your CKAN config. (#2164)
The package_show API call does not return the tracking_summary,
keys in the dataset or resources by default any more.
Any custom templates or users of this API call that use these values will
need to pass: include_tracking=True.
The legacy tests directory has moved to tests/legacy, the
new_tests directory has moved to tests and the new_authz.py
module has been renamed authz.py. Code that imports names from the
old locations will continue to work in this release but will issue
a deprecation warning. (#1753)
group_show and organization_show API calls no longer return the
datasets by default (#2206)
Custom templates or users of this API call will need to pass
include_datasets=True to include datasets in the response.
The vocabulary_show and tag_show API calls no longer returns the
packages key - i.e. datasets that use the vocabulary or tag.
However tag_show now has an include_datasets option. (#1886)
Config option site_url is now required - CKAN will not abort during
start-up if it is not set. (#1976)
