Changed

• odoo-helper addons list will search for addons in current directory if addons path is not specified
• odoo-helper addons update-list possible options and arguments changed
  • Before
    • first argument is database name and second is config file. last one wasn't used a lot
    • if no arguments supplied then update addons list for all databases
  • After
    • added --help option
    • added --tdb or --test-db option to use test database
    • added --cdb or --conf-db option to use database specified in default odoo config
    • all arguments are considered as database names. This allows us to keep partial backward compatability
• odoo-install now will automaticaly install phonenumbers python package.
• display commit date in output of odoo-helper --version
• odoo-helper postgres speedify use SQL ALTER SYSTEM instead of modifiying postgresql config file
• odoo-helper lint style now have separate configs for .css, .less, .scss. The only differece is that .less and .scss configs have default indentation set to 4 spaces and .css config have default indentation set to 2 spaces
• odoo-helper lint style status changed from experimental to alpha
• odoo-helper test
  • use default test database named <dbuser>-odoo-test
  • created temporary databases are prefixed with test-
• odoo-install do not set automatically db_filter and db_name for test config file
• odoo-helper tr rate if there is no translation terms for addon compute it's rate as 100%
• default flake8 config: disable W503 and W504 checks
• default pylint config:
  • Add proprietary licenses to allowed licenses list
• Install newer version of wkhtmltopdf: 0.12.5

Deprecations

• odoo-helper server auto-update use instead:
• odoo-helper intall reinstall-odoo
• odoo-helper upate-odoo
• Support of Odoo 7.0 is now deprecated and will be removed in one of next releases
• odoo-helper fetch -p and odoo-helper fetch --python options are deprecated. Use odoo-helper pip install command instead. Or place requirements.txt file inside repository root or addon root directory.
• It is not recommended now to use db_name and db_filter in test config file, because, if either of them is defined, then it is not allowed to drop databases that do not match db_name or db_filter
