This version requires a requirements upgrade on source installations
This version requires a database upgrade
This version does not require a Solr schema upgrade if you are already using the 2.9 schema, but it is recommended to upgrade to the 2.10 Solr schema.
Make sure to check the :ref:`migration-notes-2.10`

Major features

Added CSRF protection to the frontend forms to protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. This feature is enabled by default in CKAN core, extensions are excluded from the CSRF protection to give time to update them, but CSRF protection will be enforced in the future. To enforce the CSRF protection in extensions you can use the :ref:`ckan.csrf_protection.ignore_extensions` setting. See the :ref:`CSRF section <csrf_best_practices>` in the extension best practices for more information on how to enable it. (#6920)
Refactored the Authentication logic to use Flask-login instead of repoze.who. This has implications on how login sessions are managed (e.g. when and why users might be logged out) and will affect all plugins that modify the standard authentication process. Please check the Migration notes section below to learn more (#6560).
Configuration declaration: declare configuration options to ensure validation and default values. All declared CKAN configuration options are validated and converted to the expected type during the application startup. See the Migration notes section below to understand the changes involved and check the :ref:`documentation <declare-config-options>`. (#6467)
Add Signals support to allow subscriptor-based features in extensions. See :doc:`extensions/signals` (#5359)
Add Blanket implementations: decorators providing common implementations of simple interfaces to reduce boilerplate in plugins. See the blanket() method in the :doc:`/extensions/plugins-toolkit` (#5169)
Add CLI commands for API Token management (#5868)
The CKAN source code is fully typed now (#5924)
Add extensible snippet for resource uploads (#6226)
Migrated to Bootstrap 5 from v3 for the default CKAN theme. Bootstrap v3 templates are still available for use by specifying the base template folder in the configuration (#6307):
```
ckan.base_public_folder=public-bs3
ckan.base_templates_folder=templates-bs3
```
Removed the Docker related files from the main CKAN repository. A brand new official Docker setup can be found at the ckan/ckan-docker repository. (#7370)
Added new command ckan shell that opens an interactive python shell with the Flask's application context preloaded (among other useful objects). (#6919)
Added new sub-commands to the search-index command (#7044 and #7175):
- list-orphans lists all public package IDs which exist in the solr index, but do not exist in the database.
- clear-orphans clears the search index for all the public orphaned packages.
- list-unindexed lists all ununindexed packages
Add new group command: clean. Add clean users command to delete users containing images with formats not supported in ckan.upload.user.mimetypes config option. (#7241)
Activities now receive the full dict of the object they refer to in their data section. This allows greater flexibility when creating custom activities from plugins. (#6557)
Site maintainers can choose to completely ignore cookie based by using ckan.auth.enable_cookie_auth_in_api. When set to False, all API requests must use :ref:`API Tokens <api authentication>`. Note that this is likely to break some existing JS modules from the frontend that perform API calls, so it should be used with caution. (#7088)
CKAN now records the last time a user was active on the site. The minimum interval between records can be controlled with the :ref:`ckan.user.last_active_interval` config option. (#6466)

:py:class:`~ckan.plugins.toolkit.BaseModel` class for declarative SQLAlchemy models added to :py:mod:`ckan.plugins.toolkit`. Models extending BaseModel class are attached to the SQLAlchemy's metadata object automatically:

from ckan.plugins import toolkit

class ExtModel(toolkit.BaseModel):

    __tablename__ = "ext_model"
    id = Column(String(50), primary_key=True)
    ... (`#7351 <https://github.com/ckan/ckan/pull/7351>`_)

Add dev containers / GitHub Codespaces config (See the documentation

Migration notes

Changes in the authenticated users management (logged in users): The old auth_tkt cookie created by repoze.who does not exist anymore. Flask-login stores the logged-in user identifier in the Flask session. CKAN uses Beaker to manage the session, and the default session backend stores this session information as files on the server (on /tmp). This means that if the session data is deleted in the server, all users will be logged out of the site. This can happen for instance:
- if the CKAN container is redeployed in a Docker / cloud setup and the session directory is not persisted
- if the sessions are periodically cleaned by an external script
Here's a summary of the behaviour changes between CKAN versions:

Action

CKAN < 2.10

CKAN >= 2.10

Clear cookies

User logged out

User logged out (If remember_me cookie is deleted)

Clear server sessions

User still logged in

User logged out

The way to keep the old behaviour with the Beaker backend is to store the session data in the cookie itself (note that this stores all session data, not just the user identifier). This will probably be the default behaviour in future CKAN versions:
```
# ckan.ini
beaker.session.type = cookie
beaker.session.validate_key = CHANGE_ME

beaker.session.httponly = True
beaker.session.secure = True
beaker.session.samesite = Lax # or Strict
```
Alternatively you can configure another persistent backend for the sessions in the server, like an SQL Database or Redis (see the Beaker configuration for details).
It is recommended that you review the :ref:`session-settings` and :ref:`flask-login-remember-me-cookie-settings` to make sure they cover your security requirements.
Due to the newly introduced :ref:`declare-config-options`, all declared CKAN configuration options are validated and converted to the expected type during the application startup:
```
debug = config.get("debug")

# CKAN <= v2.9
assert type(debug) is str
assert debug == "false" # or any value that is specified in the config file

# CKAN >= v2.10
assert type(debug) is bool
assert debug is False # or ``True``
```
The aslist, asbool, asint converters from ckan.plugins.toolkit will keep the current behaviour:
```
# produces the same result in v2.9 and v2.10
assert tk.asbool(config.get("debug")) is False
assert tk.asint(config.get("ckan.devserver.port")) == 5000
assert tk.aslist(config.get("ckan.plugins")) == ["stats"]
```
If you are using custom logic, the code requires a review. For example, the following code will produce an AttributeError exception, because ckan.plugins is converted into a list during the application's startup:
```
# AttributeError
plugins = config.get("ckan.plugins").split()
```
Depending on the desired backward compatibility, one of the following expressions can be used instead:
```
# if both v2.9 and v2.10 are supported
plugins = tk.aslist(config.get("ckan.plugins"))

# if only v2.10 is supported
plugins = config.get("ckan.plugins")
```
The second major change affects default values for configuration options. Starting from CKAN 2.10, the majority of the config options have a declared default value. It means that whenever you invoke config.get method, the declared default value is returned instead of None. Example:
```
# CKAN v2.9
assert config.get("search.facets.limit") is None

# CKAN v2.10
assert config.get("search.facets.limit") == 10
```
The second argument to config.get should be only used to get the value of a missing undeclared option:
```
assert config.get("not.declared.and.missing.from.config", 1) == 1
```
The above is the same for any extension that declares its config options using IConfigDeclaration interface or config_declarations blanket. (#6467)
Public registration of users has been disabled by default (#7210)
User and group/org image upload formats have been restricted by default (#7210)
The activites feature has been extracted into a separate activity plugin. To keep showing the activities in the UI and enable the activity related API actions you need to add the activity plugin to the :ref:`ckan.plugins` config option. This change doesn't affect activities already stored in the DB. They are still available once the plugin is enabled. Note that some imports have changed (#6790):
```
`ckan.model.Activity` -> `ckanext.activity.model.Activity`
```
Users of the Xloader or DataPusher need to provide a valid API Token in their configurations using the ckanext.xloader.api_token or ckan.datapusher.api_token keys respectively. (#7139)
Only user-defined functions can be used as validators. An attempt to use a mock-object, built-in function or class will cause a TypeError. (#6048)
The language code for the Norwegian language has been updated from no to nb_NO. There are redirects in place from the old code to the new one for localized URLs, but please update your links. If you were using the old no code in a config option like ckan.default_locale or ckan.locales_offered you will need to update the value to nb_NO. (#6746)

toolkit.aslist now converts any iterable other than list and tuple into a list: list(value). Before, such values were just wrapped into a list, i.e: [value] (#7257).

Short overview of changes

Expresion	Before	After
`aslist([1,2])`	`[1, 2]`	`[1, 2]`
`aslist({1,2})`	`[{1, 2}]`	`[1, 2]`
`aslist({1: "one", 2: "two"})`	`[{1: "one", 2: "two"}]`	`[1, 2]`
`aslist(range(1,3))`	`[range(1, 3)]`	`[1, 2]`

Removals and deprecations

Legacy API keys are no longer supported for Authentication and have been removed from the UI. API Tokens should be used instead. See :ref:`api authentication` for more details (#6247)
build_nav_main(), build_nav_icon() and build_nav() helpers no longer support Pylons route syntax. eg use dataset.search instead of controller=dataset, action=search. (#6263)
The following old helper functions have been removed and are no longer available: submit(), radio(), icon_url(), icon_html(), icon(), resource_icon(), format_icon(), button_attr(), activity_div() (#6272)
The following methods are deprecated and should be replaced with their respective new versions in the plugin interfaces:

v.2.9.0 2020-08-05

Migration notes

This version does require a requirements upgrade on source installations
This version does require a database upgrade
This version does not require a Solr schema upgrade if you are already using the 2.8 schema, but it is recommended to upgrade to the 2.9 Solr schema.
This version requires changes to the who.ini configuration file. If your setup doesn't use the one bundled with this repo, you will have to manually change the following lines:
```
use = ckan.lib.auth_tkt:make_plugin
```
to:
```
use = ckan.lib.repoze_plugins.auth_tkt:make_plugin
```
And also:
```
use = repoze.who.plugins.friendlyform:FriendlyFormPlugin
```
to:
```
use = ckan.lib.repoze_plugins.friendly_form:FriendlyFormPlugin
```
Otherwise, if you are using symbolinc link to who.ini under vcs, no changes required. (#4796)
All the static CSS/JS files must be bundled via a webassets.yml file, as opposed to the previously used, optional resource.config file. Check the Assets documentation for more details. (#4614)
When ckan.cache_enabled is set to False (default) all requests include the Cache-control: private header. If ckan.cache_enabled is set to True, when the user is not logged in and there is no session data, a Cache-Control: public header will be added. For all other requests the Cache-control: private header will be added. Note that you will also need to set the ckan.cache_expires config option to allow caching of requests. (#4781)
A full history of dataset changes is now displayed in the Activity Stream to admins, and optionally to the public. By default this is enabled for new installs, but disabled for sites which upgrade (just in case the history is sensitive). When upgrading, open data CKANs are encouraged to make this history open to the public, by setting this in production.ini: ckan.auth.public_activity_stream_detail = true (#3972)
When upgrading from previous CKAN versions, the Activity Stream needs a migrate_package_activity.py running for displaying the history of dataset changes. This can be performed while CKAN is running or stopped (whereas the standard paster db upgrade migrations need CKAN to be stopped). Ideally it is run before CKAN is upgraded, but it can be run afterwards. If running previous versions or this version of CKAN, download and run migrate_package_activity.py like this:
```
cd /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckan/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ckan/ckan/2.9/ckan/migration/migrate_package_activity.py
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ckan/ckan/2.9/ckan/migration/revision_legacy_code.py
python migrate_package_activity.py -c /etc/ckan/production.ini
```
Future versions of CKAN are likely to need a slightly different procedure. Full info about this migration is found here: https://github.com/ckan/ckan/wiki/Migrate-package-activity (#4784)
The :ref:`config_file` default name has been changed to ckan.ini across the documentation regardless of the environment. You can use any name including the legacy development.ini and production.ini but to keep in sync with the documentation is recommended to update the name.
The old paster CLI has been removed in favour of the new ckan command. In most cases the commands and subcommands syntax is the same, but the -c or --config parameter to point to the ini file needs to provided immediately after the ckan command, eg:
```
ckan -c /etc/ckan/default/ckan.ini sysadmin
```
The minimum PostgreSQL version required starting from this version is 9.5 (#5458)

Major features

Python 3 support. CKAN nows supports Python 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 (Overview). Check this page for support on how to migrate existing extensions to Python 3.
Dataset collaborators: In addition to traditional organization-based permissions, CKAN instances can also enable the dataset collaborators feature, which allows dataset-level authorization. This provides more granular control over who can access and modify datasets that belong to an organization, or allows authorization setups not based on organizations. It works by allowing users with appropriate permissions to give permissions to other users over individual datasets, regardless of what organization they belong to. To learn more about how to enable it and the different configuration options available, check the documentation on :ref:`dataset_collaborators`. (#5346)
API Tokens: an alternative to API keys. Tokens can be created and removed on demand (check :ref:`api authentication`) and there is no restriction on the maximum number of tokens per user. Consider using tokens instead of API keys and create a separate token for each use-case instead of sharing the same token between multiple clients. By default API Tokens are JWT, but alternative formats can be implemented using ckan.plugins.interfaces.IApiToken interface. (#5146)
Safe dataset updates with package_revise: This is a new API action for safe concurrent changes to datasets and resources. package_revise allows assertions about current package metadata, selective update and removal of fields at any level, and multiple file uploads in a single call. See the documentation at :py:func:`~ckan.logic.action.update.package_revise` (#4618)
Refactor frontend assets management to use webassets, including support for :ref:`x-sendfile` (#4614)
Users can now upload or link to custom profile pictures. By default, if a user picture is not provided it will fall back to gravatar. Alternatively, gravatar can be completely disabled by setting ckan.gravatar_default = disabled. In that case a placeholder image is shown instead, which can be customized by overriding the templates/user/snippets/placeholder.html template. (#5272)
Add plugin_extras field allowing extending User object for internal use (#5382)

Minor changes

New command for running database migrations from extensions. See :ref:`extensions db migrations` for details, (#5150)
For navl schemas, the 'default' validator no longer applies the default when the value is False, 0, [] or {} (#4448)
Use alembic instead of sqlalchemy-migrate for managing database migrations (#4450)
If you've customized the schema for package_search, you'll need to add to it the limiting of row, as per default_package_search_schema now does. (#4484)
Several logic functions now have new upper limits to how many items can be returned, notably group_list, organization_list when all_fields=true, datastore_search and datastore_search_sql. These are all configurable. (#4562)
Give users the option to define which page they want to be redirected to after logging in via ckan.route_after_login config variable. (#4770)

Removals and deprecations

Revision and History UI is removed: /revision/* & /dataset/{id}/history in favour of /dataset/changes/ visible in the Activity Stream. model.ActivityDetail is no longer used and will be removed in the next CKAN release. (#3972)
c.action and c.controller variables should be avoided. ckan.plugins.toolkit.get_endpoint can be used instead. This function returns tuple of two items(depending on request handler): 1. Flask blueprint name / Pylons controller name 2. Flask view name / Pylons action name In some cases, Flask blueprints have names that are differs from their Pylons equivalents. For example, 'package' controller is divided between 'dataset' and 'resource' blueprints. For such cases you may need to perform additional check of returned value:
```
>>> if toolkit.get_endpoint()[0] in ['dataset', 'package']:
>>>     do_something()
```
In this code snippet, will be called if current request is handled via Flask's dataset blueprint in CKAN>=2.9, and, in the same time, it's still working for Pylons package controller in CKAN<2.9 (#4319)
The following logic functions have been removed (#4627): * dashboard_activity_list_html * organization_activity_list_html * user_activity_list_html * package_activity_list_html * group_activity_list_html * organization_activity_list_html * recently_changed_packages_activity_list_html * dashboard_activity_list_html * activity_detail_list
Remove Bootstrap 2 templates (#4779)
Extensions that add CLI commands should note the deprecation of ckan.lib.cli.CkanCommand and all other helpers in ckan.lib.cli. Extensions should instead implement CLIs using the new IClick interface. (#5112)
Remove paster CLI (#5264)

v.2.8.0 2018-05-09

General notes:

This version requires a requirements upgrade on source installations

Otherwise new and updated datasets will not be searchable in DataStore and the logs will contain this error:
```
ProgrammingError: (psycopg2.ProgrammingError) function populate_full_text_trigger() does not exist
```
CKAN developers should also re-run set-permissions on the test database: :ref:`datastore-test-set-permissions`

Changes and deprecations:

The default templates included in CKAN core have been updated to use Bootstrap 3. Extensions implementing custom themes are encouraged to update their templates, but they can still make CKAN load the old Bootstrap 2 templates during the transition using the following configuration options:
```
ckan.base_public_folder = public-bs2
ckan.base_templates_folder = templates-bs2
```
The API versions 1 and 2 (also known as the REST API), ie /api/rest/* have been completely removed in favour of the version 3 (action API, /api/action/*).
The old Celery based background jobs have been removed in CKAN 2.8 in favour of the new RQ based jobs (http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/background-tasks.html). Extensions can still of course use Celery but they will need to handle the management themselves.
After introducing dataset blueprint, h.get_facet_items_dict takes search_facets as second argument. This change is aimed to reduce usage of global variables in context. For a while, it has default value of None, in which case, c.search_facets will be used. But all template designers are strongly advised to specify this argument explicitly, as in future it'll become required.
The ckan.recaptcha.version config option is now removed, since v2 is the only valid version now (#4061)

v2.7.3 2018-03-15

General notes:

As with all patch releases this one does not include requirement changes. However in some scenarios you might encounter the following error while installing or upgrading this version of CKAN:
```
Error: could not determine PostgreSQL version from '10.2'
```
This is due to a bug in the psycopg2 version pinned to the release. To solve it, upgrade psycopg2 with the following command:
```
pip install --upgrade psycopg2==2.8.2
```
This release does not require a Solr schema upgrade, but if you are having the issues described in #3863 (datasets wrongly indexed in multilingual setups), you can upgrade the Solr schema and reindex to solve them.
#3422 (implemented in #3425) introduced a major bug where if a resource was deleted and the DataStore was active extras from all resources on the site where changed. This is now fixed as part of this release but if your database is already affected you will need to run a script to restore the extras to their previous state. Remember, you only need to run the script if all the following are true:
1. You are currently running CKAN 2.7.0 or 2.7.2, and
2. You have enabled the DataStore, and
3. One or more resources with data on the DataStore have been deleted (or you suspect they might have been)
If all these are true you can run the following script to restore the extras to their previous state:

Font Awesome has been upgraded from version 3.2.1 to 4.0.3 .Please refer to https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/wiki/Upgrading-from-3.2.1-to-4 to upgrade your code accordingly if you are using custom themes.

Deprecations:

The API versions 1 and 2 (also known as the REST API, ie /api/rest/* will removed in favour of the version 3 (action API, /api/action/*), which was introduced in CKAN 2.0. The REST API will be removed on CKAN 2.8.
The default theme included in CKAN core will switch to use Bootstrap 3 instead of Bootstrap 2 in CKAN 2.8. The current Bootstrap 2 based templates will still be included in the next CKAN versions, so existing themes will still work. Bootstrap 2 templates will be eventually removed though, so instances are encouraged to update their themes using the available documentation (https://getbootstrap.com/migration/)
The activity stream related actions ending with *_list (eg package_activity_list) and *_html (eg package_activity_list_html) will be removed in CKAN 2.8 in favour of more efficient alternatives and are now deprecated.
The legacy revisions controller (ie /revisions/*) will be completely removed in CKAN 2.8.
The old Celery based background jobs will be removed in CKAN 2.8 in favour of the new RQ based jobs (http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/background-tasks.html). Extensions can still of course use Celery but they will need to handle the management themselves.

Changes and deprecations

The default of allowing anyone to create datasets, groups and organizations has been changed to False. It is advised to ensure you set all of the :ref:`authorization-settings` options explicitly in your CKAN config. (#2164)
The package_show API call does not return the tracking_summary, keys in the dataset or resources by default any more.

Any custom templates or users of this API call that use these values will need to pass: include_tracking=True.
The legacy tests directory has moved to tests/legacy, the new_tests directory has moved to tests and the new_authz.py module has been renamed authz.py. Code that imports names from the old locations will continue to work in this release but will issue a deprecation warning. (#1753)
group_show and organization_show API calls no longer return the datasets by default (#2206)

Custom templates or users of this API call will need to pass include_datasets=True to include datasets in the response.
The vocabulary_show and tag_show API calls no longer returns the packages key - i.e. datasets that use the vocabulary or tag. However tag_show now has an include_datasets option. (#1886)
Config option site_url is now required - CKAN will not abort during start-up if it is not set. (#1976)

Changes and deprecations

By convention, view plugin names now end with _view rather than _preview (eg recline_view rather than recline_preview). You will need to update them on the :ref:`ckan.plugins` setting.
The way resource visualizations are created by default has changed. You might need to set the :ref:`ckan.views.default_views` configuration option and run a migration command on existing instances. Please refer to the migration guide for more details:

http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/data-viewer.html#migrating-from-previous-ckan-versions
The PDF Viewer extension has been moved to a separate extension: https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-pdfview. Please install it separately if you are using the pdf_view plugin (or the old pdf_preview one).
The action API (v3) no longer returns the full help for the action on each request. It rather includes a link to a separate call to get the action help string.
The user_show API call does not return the datasets, num_followers or activity keys by default any more.

Any custom templates or users of this API call that use these values will need to specify parameters: include_datasets or include_num_followers.

activity has been removed completely as it was actually a list of revisions, rather than the activity stream. If you want the actual activity stream for a user, call user_activity_list instead.
The output of resource_show now contains a package_id key that links to the parent dataset.
helpers.get_action() (or h.get_action() in templates) is deprecated.

Since action functions raise exceptions and templates cannot catch exceptions, it's not a good idea to call action functions from templates.

Instead, have your controller method call the action function and pass the result to your template using the extra_vars param of render().

Alternatively you can wrap individual action functions in custom template helper functions that handle any exceptions appropriately, but this is likely to make your the logic in your templates more complex and templates are difficult to test and debug.

Note that logic.get_action() and toolkit.get_action() are not deprecated, core code and plugin code should still use get_action().
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) support is no longer enabled by default. Previously, Access-Control-Allow-* response headers were added for all requests, with Access-Control-Allow-Origin set to the wildcard value *. To re-enable CORS, use the new ckan.cors configuration settings (:ref:`ckan.cors.origin_allow_all` and :ref:`ckan.cors.origin_whitelist`).
The HttpOnly flag will be set on the authorization cookie by default. For enhanced security, we recommend using the HttpOnly flag, but this behaviour can be changed in the Repoze.who settings detailed in the Config File Options documentation (who.httponly).
The OpenID login option has been removed and is no longer supported. See "Troubleshooting" if you are upgrading an existing CKAN instance as you may need to update your who.ini file.

Template changes

Note to people with custom themes: If you've changed the {% block secondary_content %} in templates/package/search.html pay close attention as this pull request changes the structure of that template block a little.

Also: There's a few more bootstrap classes (especially for grid layout) that are now going to be in the templates. Take a look if any of the following changes might effect your content blocks:

ckan#1935

Troubleshooting:

Login does not work, for existing and new users.

You need to update your existing who.ini file.
- In the [plugin:auth_tkt] section, replace:
```
use = ckan.config.middleware:ckan_auth_tkt_make_app
```
  with:
```
use = ckan.lib.auth_tkt:make_plugin
```
- In [authenticators], add the auth_tkt plugin
Also see the next point for OpenID related changes.

ImportError: <module 'ckan.lib.authenticator' from '/usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckan/ckan/lib/authenticator.py'> has no 'OpenIDAuthenticator' attribute
```
or:
```
ImportError: No module named openid
```
There are OpenID related configuration options in your who.ini file which are no longer supported.

This file is generally located in /etc/ckan/default/who.ini but its location may vary if you used a custom deployment.

The options that you need to remove are:
- The whole [plugin:openid] section
- In [general], replace:
```
challenge_decider = repoze.who.plugins.openid.classifiers:openid_challenge_decider
```
  with:
```
challenge_decider = repoze.who.classifiers:default_challenge_decider
```
- In [identifiers], remove openid
- In [authenticators], remove ckan.lib.authenticator:OpenIDAuthenticator
- In [challengers], remove openid
This is a diff with the whole changes:

v2.2 2014-02-04

Note: This version does not require a requirements upgrade on source installations

Note: This version requires a database upgrade

Note: This version requires a Solr schema upgrade (The Solr schema file has been renamed, the schema file from the previous release is compatible with this version, but users are encouraged to point to the new one, see "API changes and deprecations")

Major:

Brand new automatic importer of tabular data to the DataStore, the DataPusher. This is much more robust and simple to deploy and maintain than its predecesor (ckanext-datastorer). Whole new UI for re-importing data to the DataStore and view the import logs (#932, #938, #940, #981, #1196, #1200 ...)
Completely revamped file uploads that allow closer integration with resources and the DataStore, as well as making easir to integrate file uploads in other features. For example users can now upload images for organizations and groups. See "API changes and deprecations" if you are using the current FileStore. (#1273, #1173 ... )
UI and API endpoints for resource reordering (#1277)
Backend support for organization hierarchy, allowing parent and children organizations. Frontend needs to be implemented in extensions (#1038)
User invitations: it is now possible to create new users with just their email address. An invite email is sent to them, allowing to change their user name and password (#1178)
Disable user registration with a configuration option (#1226)
Great effort in improving documentation, specially for customizing CKAN, with a complete tutorial for writing extensions and customizing the theme. User and sysadmin guides have also been moved to the main documentation (#943, #847, #1253)

Bulk editing broken in IE7 (#1455)
Fix group deletion in IE7 (#1460)
And many, many more!

API changes and deprecations:

The Solr schema file is now always named schema.xml regardless of the CKAN version. Old schema files have been kept for backwards compatibility but users are encouraged to point to the new unified one (#1314)
The FileStore and file uploads have been completely refactored and simplified to only support local storage backend. The links from previous versions of the FileStore to hosted files will still work, but there is a command available to migrate the files to new Filestore. See this page for more details: http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/filestore.html#filestore-21-to-22-migration
By default, the authorization for any action defined from an extension will require a logged in user, otherwise a :py:class:`ckan.logic.NotAuthorized` exception will be raised. If an action function allows anonymous access (eg search, show status, etc) the auth_allow_anonymous_access decorator (available on the plugins toolkit) must be used (#1210)
package_search now returns results with custom schemas applied like package_show, a use_default_schema parameter was added to request the old behaviour, this change may affect customized search result templates (#1255)
The ckan.api_url configuration option has been completely removed and it can no longer be used (#960)
The edit and after_update methods of IPackageController plugins are now called when updating a resource using the web frontend or the resource_update API action (#1052)
Dataset moderation has been deprecated, and the code will probably be removed in later CKAN versions (#1139)
Some front end libraries have been updated, this may affect existing custom themes: Bootstrap 2.0.3 > 2.3.2, Font Awesome 3.0.2 > 3.2.1, jQuery 1.7.2 > 1.10.2 (#1082)
SQLite is officially no longer supported as the tests backend

Troubleshooting:

Exception on startup after upgrading from a previous CKAN version:
```
AttributeError: 'instancemethod' object has no attribute 'auth_audit_exempt'
```
Make sure that you are not loading a 2.1-only plugin (eg datapusher-ext) and update all the plugin in your configuration file to the latest stable version.
Exception on startup after upgrading from a previous CKAN version:
```
File "/usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckan/ckan/lib/dictization/model_dictize.py", line 330, in package_dictize
    result_dict['metadata_modified'] = pkg.metadata_modified.isoformat()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'isoformat'
```
One of the database changes on this version is the addition of a metadata_modified field in the package table, that was filled during the DB migration process. If you have previously migrated the database and revert to an older CKAN version the migration process may have failed at this step, leaving the fields empty. Also make sure to restart running processes like harvesters after the update to make sure they use the new code base.

v2.0 2013-05-10

Note

Starting on v2.0, issue numbers with four digits refer to the old ticketing system at http://trac.ckan.org and the ones with three digits refer to GitHub issues. For example:

#3020 is http://trac.ckan.org/ticket/3020
#271 is ckan#271

Some GitHub issues URLs will redirect to GitHub pull request pages.

Note

v2.0 is a huge release so the changes listed here are just the highlights. Bug fixes are not listed.

Note: This version requires a requirements upgrade on source installations

Note: This version requires a database upgrade

Note: This version requires a Solr schema upgrade

Organizations based authorization (see :doc:`/maintaining/authorization`):

CKAN's new "organizations" feature replaces the old authorization system with a new one based on publisher organizations. It replaces the "Publisher Profile and Workflow" feature from CKAN 1.X, any instances relying on it will need to be updated.

New organization-based authorization and organization of datasets
Supports private datasets
Publisher workflow
New authorization ini file options

New frontend (see :doc:`/theming/index`):

CKAN's frontend has been completely redesigned, inside and out. There is a new default theme and the template engine has moved from Genshi to Jinja2. Any custom templates using Genshi will need to be updated, although there is a ckan.legacy_templates setting to aid in the migration.

Block-based template inheritance
Custom jinja tags: {% ckan_extends %}, {% snippet %} and {% url_for %} (#2502, #2503)
CSS "primer" page for theme developers
We're now using LESS for CSS
Scalable font icons (#2563)
Social sharing buttons (google plus, facebook, twitter) (this replaces the ckanext-social extension)
Three-stage dataset creation form (#2501)
New paster front-end-build command does everything needed to build the frontend for a production CKAN site (runs paster less to compile the css files, paster minify to minify the css and js files, etc.)

Plugins & Extensions:

New plugins toolkit provides a stable set of utility and helper functions for CKAN plugins to depend on.
The IDatasetForm plugin interface has been redesigned (note: this breaks backwards-compatibility with existing IDatasetForm plugins) (#649)
Many IDatasetForm bugs were fixed
New example extensions in core, and better documentation for the relevant plugin interfaces: example_itemplatehelpers (#447), example_idatasetform (#2750), hopefully more to come in 2.1!
New IFacets interface that allows to modify the facets shown on various pages. (#400)
The get_action() function now automatically adds 'model' and 'session' to the context dict (this saves on boiler-plate code, and means plugins don't have to import ckan.model in order to call get_action()) (#172)

Activity Streams, Following & User Dashboard:

New visual design for activity streams (#2941)
Group activity streams now include activities for changes to any of the group's datasets (#1664)
Group activity streams now appear on group pages (previously they could only be retrieved via the api)
Dataset activity streams now appear on dataset pages (previously they could only be retrieved via the api) (#3024)
Users can now follow groups (previously you could only follow users or datasets) (#3005)
Activity streams and following are also supported for organizations (#505)
When you're logged into CKAN, you now get a notifications count in the top-right corner of the site, telling you how many new notifications you have on your dashboard. Clicking on the count takes you to your dashboard page to view your notifications. (#3009)
Optionally, you can also receive notifications by email when you have new activities on your dashboard (#1635)
Infinite scrolling of activity streams (if you scroll to the bottom of a an activity stream, CKAN will automatically load more activities) (#3018)
Redesigned user dashboard (#3028):
- New dropdown-menu enables you to filter you dashboard activity stream to show only activities from a particular user, dataset, group or organization that you're following
- New sidebar shows previews and unfollow buttons (when the activity stream is filtered)
New :ref:`ckan.activity_streams_enabled` config file setting allows you to disable the generation of activity streams (#654)

Data Preview:

PDF files preview (#2203)
JSON files preview
HTML pages preview (in an iframe) (#2888)
New plugin extension point that allows plugins to add custom data previews for different data types (#2961)
Improved Recline Data Explorer previews (CSV files, Excel files..)
Plain text files preview

API:

The Action API is now CKAN's default API, and the API documentation has been rewritten (#357)

Other highlights:

Template helper functions are now restricted by default. By default only those helper functions listed in lib.helpers.__allowed_functions__ are available to templates. The full functions can still be made available by setting ckan.restrict_template_vars = false in your ini file. Only restricted functions will be allowed in future versions of CKAN.
Deprecated functions related to the old faceting data structure have been removed: helpers.py:facet_items(), facets.html:facet_sidebar(), facets.html:facet_list_items(). Internal use of the old facets datastructure (attached to the context, c.facets) has been superseded by use of the improved facet data structure, c.search_facets. The old data structure is still available on c.facets, but is deprecated, and will be removed in future versions. (#2313)
