Changed how Objects are searched, using proper Django Q objects instead of hack-y evals to build queries. This has lead to a number of changes to the ObjectDB manager search. Notably there is now no way to supply a "location" to either of the manager search methods anymore. Instead you can now supply the keyword "candidates", a list of objects which should be used to limit the search. This is much more generic than giving location. The higher-level search (like caller.search, reached from commands) have not changed its API, so commands should work the same unless you are using the manager backbone directly. This search function is now using location to create the "candidates" list. Some other things, like matching for "me" and "here" have also been moved up to a level were it can be easily overloaded. "me" and "here" etc were also moved under i18n.
...
As part of this overhaul I implemented the partial_matching algorithm originally asked for by user "Adam_ASE" over IRC. This will allow for (local-only) partial matching of objects. So "big black sword" will now be matched by "bi", "sword", "bi bla" and so on. The partial matcher sits in src.utils.utils.py if one wants to use it for something else.

Added a secure_attr() method to the base typeclass. This allows for system to access attributes with full access control (since it requires an accessing_obj as argument). This relies on (by default unused) lock types "readattr" (reading/listing the attr value), "editattr" (editing/deleting the attribute) and finally "createattr" for creating a new attribute. The first two checks are done directly on the Attribute class whereas the createattr check is done on the TypedObject on which the Attribute is to be stored.

Changed how the Typeclass system returns errors. Instead of echoing typeclass erros to the MUD-info channel (which is not only not only very spammy for everyone but also very hard to make clean so as to avoid recursion at a stage of typeclass failing), the system instead stores a property on itself called 'typeclass_last_errmsg' that holds eventual errors. This means that the task of reporting errors does not fall on the typeclass system itself but on the calling methods, as it should be. So src.utils.create.create_* functions now takes a new optional keyword "report_to" that holds an object to receive errors. If this keyword is given, the function msg():es that object with the error and returns None as before. If report_to is not set however, the create_* methods now return an Exception containing the error text. All default commands have been changed to accomodate for this behaviour, which allows for much more control over errors.
...
Also, the default ADMIN_MEDIA static files changed location in Django 1.4. The initial_setup function now accounts for this.

Added the ability to clear an object from the global cache. This is rarely
...
needed (and can be potentially dangerous if the object depends on certain
startup methods to run and/or holds temporary attributes on themselves -
these will all be lost due to a new instance being created. It is hoever
necessary when it comes to renaming Exits - since the Command on the exit
must then change name too, recaching the Exit will also update the command.
Resolves issue 223.

Adding a new API system to Evennia. This centralizes all access of the evennia driver through a single module "ev". Importing ev one should be able to access (and also importantly, easily explore) Evennia's API much easier. This API goes a long way to "flatten" the structure so that one doesn't need to remember how to find some method in a deeply nested subdirectory.

As part of this work, I have also written full listings of all available properties on Typeclassed objects (including those inherited in various ways). Should hopefully make things easier to find.
One can of course still import things directly from src/ as before. But this is a first step towards removing the "base" objects in game/gamesrc and instead making those accessible through the core API.

Also added extensive, up-to-date headers to the inheriting base objects in game/gamesrc.

Fixed the issues with assigning to nested attribute-lists/dicts "in-situ", e.g. obj.db.mylist[1][2] = val. This now works as it should. I'm still not sure this behaviour is worth the fact that returning mylist from the attribute will actually return a nested structure of PackedLists/Dicts, and these will continue to save to the database whenever they are updated, also if not used in conjuction with db. Since this behaviour is what is already in the database, I'm committing this fix for the nested assignment error until I decide what to do about the other issue = val. This now works as it should.

Worked with admin interface, cleaning up and adding functionality. There are still some strange behaviour that makes e.g. the presence of inlines to auto-create empty database objects for some strange reason. Inlines are turned off at the moment (so there is no convenient way to add attributes from the admin interface at this time). Creating players now work, but one needs to create all three components (User, Player, Character) in one go and tie them together. The User-admin form was changed to also support multi-word usernames (django default didn't allow spaces).

Restructured the way typeclasses are loaded. This makes it possible to run at_init() hooks at initiation also for objects without any custom cases for character/players. at_init() hooks are called only when an object is initiated. This means that a room's at_init() hook is only called when someone looks or enters it or a script operates on it, for example, rest of the time these objects are dormant, most efficiently.

Fixing so assigning to a nested attribute value doesn't loose data. It is unfortunately not possible to support direct assignment of deeply nested attributes at this time. So if obj.db.mydict = {1:{2:3}}, then obj.db.mydict[1] = 1 will work just fine, but obj.db.mydict[1][2] = 4 will not. For more advanced manipulation such as the latter case, store the dict in a temporary variable and save it back after changes have been done.

Added functionality to Attributes to store and update dicts and lists dynamically. One side effect of this is that dicts and tuples need to be stored as custom object types which means that e.g. isintance(obj.db.mylist) == type(list) will return False. In order to do checks like this, use src.utils.utils.inherits_from() instead. The Attribute system now also supports tuples. All other iterables except dicts, lists and tuples are stored and retrieved as lists, same as before.
