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.

Changed default permission of objects so as to not have 'control' permission of themselves. As user Kelketek pointed out, this could be a possible exploit. At any rate there is no need for objects to have control of themselves.

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.

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.

Moved all command definitions of Typeclassed entities up one level, to Object, Player and Script respectively. The actual code is still on the models (ObjectDB, PlayerDB and ScriptDB), but one should not be able to use the methods without having to dig into the code as far. Also added extensive, up-to-date headers to the inheriting base objects in game/gamesrc.

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.

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.

Migrate. Made Exits work differently, by use of commands directly instead of an exithandler assigning commands on-the-fly. This solution is a lot cleaner and also solves an issue where @reload would kill typeclasses in situations where an exit was painting to an object whose typeclass was reloaded (same issue occured if the exit typeclass itself was reloaded). As part of these fixes I cleaned up the merging of cmdsets to now merge in strict priority order, as one would expect them to do. Many small bug-fixes and cleanups all over. Resolves issue 164. Resolves issue 163.

Migrate. Added the "view" access restriction (to make objects invisible). Also changed the input of ObjectDB.objects.object_search() to not require a caller as an argument (this makes it consistent with other search methods). All default systems should have updated to the new call, but if you have custom calls, you need to change them to fit the new syntax (this is only important if explicitly use ObjectDB.objects.object_search; if you just use caller.search you should be fine)

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.

OBS: You'll need to resync/rebuild your database!

- This implements an updated, clearer and more robust access system. The policy is now to lock that which is not explicitly left open.
- Permission strings -> Lock strings. Separating permissions and locks makes more sense security-wise
- No more permissiongroup table; permissions instead use a simple tuple PERMISSIONS_HIERARCHY to define an access hierarchy
- Cleaner lock-definition syntax, all based on function calls.
- New objects/players/channels get a default security policy during creation (set through typeclass)
As part of rebuilding and testing the new lock/permission system I got into testing and debugging several other systems, fixing some
outstanding issues:
- @reload now fully updates the database asynchronously. No need to reboot server when changing cmdsets
- Dozens of new test suites added for about 30 commands so far
- Help for channels made more clever and informative.
