Kinto/kinto 2.0.0 on GitHub

Protocol

Allow buckets to store arbitrary properties. (#239, #462)
Delete every (writable) buckets using DELETE /v1/buckets
Delete every (writable) collections using DELETE /v1/buckets/<bucket-id>/collections
Clients are redirected to URLs without trailing slash only if the current URL
does not exist (#656)

For example, /records?_fields=address.street.
List responses are now sorted by last_modified descending by default (#434,
thanks @ayusharma)
Server now returns 415 error response if client cannot accept JSON response (#461, mozilla-services/cliquet#667)

Protocol is now in version 1.4. See API changelog.

Breaking changes

kinto.plugins.default_bucket plugin is no longer assumed. We invite users
to check that the kinto.plugins.default_bucket is present in the
includes setting if they expect it. (ref #495)
kinto start must be explicitly run with --reload in order to
restart the server when code or configuration changes (ref #490).
Errors are not swallowed anymore during the execution of ResourceChanged
events subscribers.
Subscribers are still executed within the transaction like before.
Subscribers are still executed even if the transaction is eventually rolledback.
Every subscriber execution succeeds, or none.
Thus, subscribers of these events should only perform operations that are reversed
on transaction rollback: most likely database storage operations.
For irreversible operations see the new AfterResourceChanged event.

New features

Event subscribers are now ran synchronously and can thus alter responses (#421)
Resource events are now merged in batch requests. One event per resource and
per action is emitted when a transaction is committed (mozilla-services/cliquet#634)
Monitor time of events listeners execution (mozilla-services/cliquet#503)
Added a new AfterResourceChanged event, that is sent only when the commit
in database is done and successful.
See more details.
Track execution time on StatsD for each authentication sub-policy (mozilla-services/cliquet#639)
Default console log renderer now has colours (mozilla-service/cliquet#671)
Output Kinto version with kinto --version (thanks @ayusharma)
