What's new
==========
Explorer menu built with the admin API and React
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After more than a year of work, the new explorer menu has finally landed! It comes with the following improvements:
* View all pages - not just the ones with child pages.
* Better performance, no matter the number of pages or levels in the hierarchy.
* Navigate the menu via keyboard.
* View Draft pages, and go to page editing, directly from the menu.
Beyond features, the explorer is built with the new admin API and React components.
This will facilitate further evolutions to make it even faster and user-friendly.
This work is the product of ``4`` Wagtail sprints, and the efforts of ``16`` people, listed here by order of first involvement:
* Karl Hobley (Cape town sprint, admin API)
* Josh Barr (Cape town sprint, prototype UI)
* Thibaud Colas (Ede sprint, Reykjavík sprint)
* Janneke Janssen (Ede sprint, Reykjavík sprint, Wagtail Space sprint)
* Rob Moorman (Ede sprint, eslint-config-wagtail, ES6+React+Redux styleguide)
* Maurice Bartnig (Ede sprint, i18n and bug fixes)
* Jonny Scholes (code review)
* Matt Westcott (Reykjavík sprint, refactorings)
* Sævar Öfjörð Magnússon (Reykjavík sprint)
* Eirikur Ingi Magnusson (Reykjavík sprint)
* Harris Lapiroff (Reykjavík sprint, tab-accessible navigation)
* Hugo van den Berg (testing, Wagtail Space sprint)
* Olly Willans (UI, UX, Wagtail Space sprint)
* Andy Babic (UI, UX)
* Ben Enright (UI, UX)
* Bertrand Bordage (testing, documentation)
Privacy settings on documents
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Privacy settings can now be configured on collections, to restrict access to documents either by shared password or by user account. See: :ref:`private_pages`.
This feature was developed by Ulrich Wagner and Matt Westcott. Thank you to `Wharton Research Data Services <https://www.WhartonWRDS.com/>`_ of `The Wharton School <https://www.wharton.upenn.edu>`_ for sponsoring this feature.
Other features

* Mixcloud oEmbed pattern has been updated (Alice Rose)
* Added ``last_published_at`` field to the Page model (Matt Westcott)
* Added ``show_in_menus_default`` flag on page models, to allow "show in menus" to be checked by default (LB (Ben Johnston))

* Prevented exception when visiting a preview URL without initiating the preview (Paul Kamp)
Upgrade considerations
======================
Browser requirements for the new explorer menu
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The new explorer menu does not support IE8, IE9, and IE10. The fallback experience is a link pointing to the explorer pages.
Caching of site-level URL information throughout the request cycle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``get_url_parts`` and ``relative_url`` methods on ``Page`` now accept an optional ``request`` keyword argument.
Additionally, two new methods have been added, ``get_url`` (analogous to the ``url`` property) and ``get_full_url``
(analogous to the ``full_url``) property. Whenever possible, these methods should be used instead of the property
versions, and the request passed to each method. For example:
.. code-block:: python
page_url = my_page.url
would become:
.. code-block:: python
page_url = my_page.get_url(request=request)
This enables caching of underlying site-level URL information throughout the request cycle, thereby significantly
reducing the number of cache or SQL queries your site will generate for a given page load. A common use case for these
methods is any custom template tag your project may include for generating navigation menus. For more information,
please refer to :ref:`page_urls`.
Furthermore, if you have overridden ``get_url_parts`` or ``relative_url`` on any of your page models, you will need to
update the method signature to support this keyword argument; most likely, this will involve changing the line:
.. code-block:: python
def get_url_parts(self):
to:
.. code-block:: python
def get_url_parts(self, *args, **kwargs):
and passing those through at the point where you are calling ``get_url_parts`` on ``super`` (if applicable).
See also: :meth:`wagtail.core.models.Page.get_url_parts`, :meth:`wagtail.core.models.Page.get_url`,
:meth:`wagtail.core.models.Page.get_full_url`, and :meth:`wagtail.core.models.Page.relative_url`
"Password required" template for documents
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This release adds the ability to password-protect documents as well as pages. The template used for the "password required" form is distinct from the one used for pages; if you have previously overridden the default template through the ``PASSWORD_REQUIRED_TEMPLATE`` setting, you may wish to provide a corresponding template for documents through the setting ``DOCUMENT_PASSWORD_REQUIRED_TEMPLATE``. See: :ref:`private_pages`
Elasticsearch 5.4 is incompatible with ``ATOMIC_REBUILD``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While not specific to Wagtail 1.11, users of Elasticsearch should be aware that the ``ATOMIC_REBUILD`` option is not compatible with Elasticsearch 5.4.x due to `a bug in the handling of aliases <https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/24644>`_. If you wish to use this feature, please use Elasticsearch 5.3.x or 5.5.x (when available).
