Users may now choose prefered locale, which will be used for application language localization and datetime formating. (Redmine issue: #3734)

Users may now choose prefered timezone, which will be used when displaying time data. (Redmine issue: #3734)

Added post-action hooks to support additional tasks after successfull item create/update/delete action.

This will allow performing additional tasks like sending email about newly created user accounts, etc. (Redmine issue: #3734)

The module contains all CRUDL views, forms and templates to enable network record management. (Redmine issue: #3734)

The module contains all CRUDL views, forms and templates to enable reporting filter management. (Redmine issue: #3734)

The module contains all CRUDL views, forms and templates to enable group management. (Redmine issue: #3734)

The item manipulation framework (create,read,update,delete,list) was revised, simplified and better documented. All changes were implemented and tested on existing user management pluggable module. (Redmine issue: #3734,#3361)

PostgreSQL migration: Reimplemented DBAL, authentication layer and user management modules in Hawat.

Base on the previous work the DBAL in Hawat was reimplemented to use the new mentat.services.sqlstorage module and sqlalchemy backend. The authentication layer was rewritten to use the new dabase interface. The user management plugin was rewritten to use new database interface.

(Redmine issue: #3752,#3734)

Script is capable of following data migrations:

* user accounts
* group account
* network records
* reporting filters
* reporting settings

(Redmine issue: #3752)

PostgreSQL migration: Implemented prototype of SQL storage service to be used both in backend and web GUI modules.

(Redmine issue: #3752)

Following models were implemented using the awesome SQLAlchemy library:

* UserModel
* GroupModel
* NetworkModel
* FilterModel
* SettingsReportingModel

(Redmine issue: #3752)

There was a following error:

Added makefile target alias for pybabel-extract and pybabel-update called pybabel-pull to extract and update translations in single command.

Application now provides easy to extend View classes for quick development of create,update,view,delete,list views. (Redmine issue: #3734)

The hawat application factory now returns production level interface by default instead of development level.

The default configuration object for Hawat application factory is now hawat.config.ProductionConfig. (Redmine issue: #3734)

Added following helpers into Jinja global namespace to be used in templates:

* babel_format_datetime  => flask_babel.format_datetime
* babel_format_timedelta => flask_babel.format_timedelta
* get_current_utc => datetime.datetime.utcnow

These helpers can be used for localized formating of timestamps in template views.

(Redmine issue: #3734)

Objects in Jinja templates can now be protected with permission protection mechanism. This can be used for hiding links, that are inaccessible to current user etc. As a proof of concept raw results output of geoip and whois search are now restricted only to users with developer role. (Redmine issue: #3734)

(Redmine issue: #3734)

The lookup results are not styled yet, only proof of concept. (Redmine issue: #3734)

The mentat.geoip, mentat.whois and mentat.storage services were enhanced to fully understand and use Mentat core configurations. The main idea is that the configuration of these services should be centralized for the whole Mentat ecosystem and any module or component, that wishes to use these services should be able to easily obtain correctly configured instance and without the knowledge of the configuration directory schema and syntax. This patch introduces following new concepts:

* Each service has corresponding service manager that is capable of understanding Mentat core configuration tree schema and syntax and quickly provide fully configured service instance.
* Each service has ability to store reference to fully configured service instance at module level (like a singleton pattern) and any code can get a hold of this reference.

This patch also contains improvements in documentation of all above mentioned modules and also many improvements in unit testing framework, which was used to verify correct functionality. (Redmine issue: #1017,#3361)

* Rewritten the StorageManager, so it now expects full Mentat core configuration tree.
* Added couple of shortcut and helper methods.
* Added database_info methods.
* Increased documentation coverage.

The libraries for web user interface implementation will be managed using the yarn package manager (currently recommended on Bower site). The package.json file now contains list of libraries that are/will be needed for user interface. (Redmine issue: #3387)

This commit represents huge amount of work and introduces new Python-based version of Hawat web user interface for Mentat system. It is built on top of the great Flask framework. Currently it is still work in progress and many features are implemented only as dummy stubs, however the core functionality is almost finished. Following is a list of current key features:

  * Focus on modular architecture using Flask`s blueprint feature.
  * Multi-layered configurability (defaults, multiple file overrides).
  * Plugin system.
  * Internationalization support.
  * Support for multiple authentication systems.

This commit provides working albeit hollow starting point for future web interface development. IT IS NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION USAGE!!!
