0.3.0

Sorting Hat 0.3 - (2017-03-21)

NOTICE: UUIDs generated by SortingHat < 0.3.0 are no longer compatible.
Please check "Compatibility between versions" section from README.md file

New features and improvements:

• New algorithm to genere UUIDs.

  UUIDs were generated using case and accent sensitive values with the seed
  (source:email:name:username). This means that for any identity with the
  same values in lower or upper case (i.e: [email protected] and [email protected])
  or with the same values accent or unaccent (i.e: John Smith or Jöhn Smith)
  would have different UUIDs for any of these combinations.

  The new algorithm changes upper to lower case characters and converts accent
  characters to their canonical form before the UUIDs is generated.

  This change is caused by the behaviour of MySQL with case configurations
  and accent and unaccent characters. MySQL considers those characters the same,
  raising IntegrityError exceptions when similar tuple values are inserted
  into the database. Generating the same UUID for these cases will prevent the
  error.

  Take into account that previous UUIDs are no longer compatible with this
  version of SortingHat. You should regenerate the UUIDs following the steps
  described in section Compatibility between versions from README.md file.

Bugs fixed:

• Any non-empty value in email field was used during the affiliation. This
  caused some errors for non valid email addresses like with 'email@' cases,
  which raised a IndexError exception. This bug has been fixed using valid
  email addresses only during the affiliation.

• Invalid database names were allowed in init command.
