Replace OptionParser by ArgumentParser

Hamza worked on #967: the initdb command no longer causes a RemovedInDjango110Warning OptionParser usage for :term:`django-admin command`s is deprecated, use ArgumentParser instead.

TODO: Hamza, can you please make the same conversion also for the following other commands:

I noticed that garble_persons was missing in Lino Così and Lino Welfare (and fixed that problem).

Set member_until after payment

About #975. The member_until field on each pupil should get updated automatically when a payment of a membership is being registered.

New signal lino_xl.lib.ledger.utils.on_ledger_movement. The first handler for this signal is in lino_voga.projects.roger.lib.courses.models and simply runs the courses.MemberChecker.

lino.modlib.checkdata.choicelists.Checker now has a self attribute and refuses duplicate activations.

Cannot log into Rose after apt-get upgrade

After a routine upgrade of the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on Rose, we were not able to get beyond the login screen. You type your password in the GDM, it validates, but instead of getting into your Desktop, after a while, the GDM invites you again to enter your password.

Which lead me to this thread:

Behavior-driven development

I read about BDD and had a look into the tutorial of the behave package. My first impression: Looks like a great tool, but for the moment I don’t see any useful application in some Lino project.

Numbers in a grid

Oops, after yesterday’s changes (Nullable integer fields) all numbers in a grid were left aligned. Fixed. Hamza, please adapt lino_extjs6.extjs6.elems once more (by adding align=’right’ in the get_column_options() of NumberFieldElement:

def get_column_options(self, **kw):
    ...
    kw.update(align='right')

Reihenfolge und Schnellsuche Kontoauszüge

Alexa now has vouchers in two fiscal years, which revealed some problems with ordering them and searching for them.

  • VouchersByJournal are now ordered by ‘accounting_period’, ‘number’

  • New virtual field lino_xl.lib.ledger.models.Voucher.number_with_year

  • lino_xl.lib.ledger.models.Voucher now has its own customized quick_search_filter method.

  • New model attribute quick_search_fields_digit
