Incompatibilities and deprecations

• WebHare can no longer connect to 4.14 (or older) servers for module pushes/folder synchronization

• The publisher now autoselects the last selected folder when opened but no longer saves which folders you had open

• The WebHare docker image is now based on a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS image (and no longer on CentOS 7). This may have effect on the availability of some commands inside the image.

• The mysql odbc connector has been replaced with the mariadb connector. It should offer the same functionality, but driver connect strings may need to change.

• Switched arguments to IsArrayisSubSetOf to logical order, rename to logical names

• The blexdev_forum module has been removed

• Improved BEM-ifying of wrd auth plugins, renaming it to 'wh-wrdauth' instead of 'whplugin-wrdauth-'

• Removed a lot of long-time deprecations

  • Removed CreateCSVExportDialog
  • Removed about dialog
  • Removed GetPublisherversion
  • Removed some deprecated adhoccache invalidation functions
  • Removed legacy WHDB transaction setup functions
  • Removed GetFilenameFromPath (after 11 years of deprecation)
  • Removed some deprecated WRD apis (but not yet the mod::wrd/lib/objectapi.whlib !)
  • Removed publisher.sites, publisher.folders, publisher.files tables

Things you should do
