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.

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.

Scripts and Exits updated. Fixed some deep issues with Scripts that caused object-based scripts to not properly shut down in some situations, as well as spawn multiple instances of themselves. I think this should resolve all "at_repeat doubling" issues reported. Due to optimizations in the typeclass cache loader in a previous update, the Exit cmdsets were not properly loaded (they were loaded at cache time, which now doesn't happen as often). So Exits instead rely on the new "at_cmdset_get" hook called by the cmdhandler. It allows dynamic modification of cmdsets just before they are accessed. Resolves issue173 (I hope). Resolves issue180. Resolves issue 181.

Made scripts and typeclassed objects remember db_typeclass_path at all times - a temporarily faulty typeclass will no longer mess up things forever after. Refined and optimized the way typeclasses are cached and loaded, minimizing db hits. The default result when trying to create an object or script with a typeclass that is faulty/not found is now to fail. The previous way, to create an entity anyway using defaults was hard to debug and caused confusion. Resolves issue 175.

Run Migrate. Implemented a full separation between Player and Character - Players (OOC entities) can now also hold cmdsets and execute commands. This means that "disconnecting" from a Character becomes possible, putting the Player in an "OOC" state outside the game. This overall makes the game much more stable since there used to be issues if the character was destroyed. Having an OOC set also avoids the previous problem of @puppeting into an object that didn't have any cmdset of its own - you couldn't get back out! A new default OOC-Cmdset handles commands available to a player while OOC. Commands in this set are applied with a low priority, allowing "IC" mode to give precedence if desired.
...
This change meant several changes to the lock and permission functionality, since it becomes important if permissions are assigned on the Player or on their Character (lock functions pperm() and pid() etc check on Player rather than Character). This has the boon of allowing Admins to switch and play/test the game as a "Low access" character as they like.
Plenty of bug fixes and adjustments. Migrations should make sure to move over all data properly.
