Created a generic DataObject FormFactory interface that can be substituted in place of getCMSFields. Different FormFactories can depend on different kinds of context, such as
'Record' or 'Controller' - it's the responsibility of the code calling the factory to interpret and
supply this context.
The expected use-case is that rather than overriding getCMSFields(), developers can
change CMS UIs by manipulating the FormFactory associated with the given DataObject.
This is an experimental UI and may change before 4.0 stable is released.

The 'admin' module will be split off from 'framework',
where 'framework' only provides (mostly) frontend-agnostic PHP classes.
For example, HTMLEditorField.php has a TinyMCEConfig.php driver,
but doesn't come with its own JS includes.
The JavaScript i18n functionality in SilverStripe is used in the CMS as well as form field implementations.
Form fields used to include their own JavaScript for usage outside of CMS. This now requires custom build tooling in a project.
Hence there's no need for an i18n shim (i18nx.js), since the CMS always uses i18n support.
We've removed the ability to directly reference JS and CSS files
for form fields and other SilverStripe features in favour of a common bundle built by Webpack.
The logical next step is to make the framework module free of frontend dependencies,
which should simplify its operation, and avoid another time intensive "npm install" on a module.
This has been made obsolete, since those files are all included in the main bundle (see bundle-lib.js).
They should not be referenced individually (e.g. through Requirements::block() or Requirements::javascript()).
The bundle is generated by running “webpack” directly - gulp is no
longer needed as an intermediary. The resulting config is a lot shorter,
although more configuration is pushed into lib.js.
Modules are shared between javascript files as global variables.
Although this global state pollution is a bit messy, I don’t think it’s
practically any worse than the previous state, and it highlights the
heavy coupling between the different packages we have in place.
Reducing the width of the coupling between the core javascript and
add-on modules would probably be a better way of dealing with this than
replacing global variables with some other kind of global state.
The web pack execution seems roughly twice as fast - if I clear out my
framework/client/dist/js folder, it takes 13.3s to rebuild. However,
it’s not rebuilding other files inside dist, only the bundle files.
CSS files are now included from javascript and incorporated into
bundle.css by the webpack. Although the style-loader is helpful in some
dev workflows (it allows live reload), it introduces a flash of
unstyled content which makes it inappropriate for production.
Instead ExtractTextPlugin is used to write all the aggregated CSS
into a single bundle.css file. A style-loader-based configuration could
be introduced for dev environments, if we make use of the webpack live
reloader in the future.
Note that the following features have been removed as they don't appear to be
necessary when using Webpack:
- UMD module generation
- thirdparty dist file copying
LeftAndMain.js deps: Without it, ssui.core.js gets loaded too late,
which leads e.g. to buttons being initialised without this added behaviour.

* More pointers to new build tooling docs in upgrading guide
* Fixed docs references to moved files
We don't want to mandate every module to switch from javascript/ to client/src,
but at the same time shouldn't reference non-existant files and confuse newcomers that way.
* More pointers to new React docs

Ported the additional Controller::doInit() references over the main changelog, and shortened them to avoid too much noise in the 4.0.0 changelog (already way too long!)
This fixes alert / confirm boxes that were popping up without text (for
example silverstripe-cms/issues/1476), although ideally we wouldn't
show empty dialog boxes on this sort of error - we'd have some default,
or a way to detect the issue.
- Removes thirdparty dependency History.js
- Adds thirdparty dependency Page.js to manage client-side routing
- Adds a wrapper around Page.js for SilverStripe specific behaviour
- Increased minimum browser requirement to IE10. Native HTML History API routing requires IE10 or newer (necessitated by removal of History.js)
- PJAX pannel loading via now uses promises rather than callbacks
- Adds getClientConfig method to LeftAndMain which can be used to pass config from to the front-end client
API: Deprecate SS_Datetime.
The DBField subclasses are have all been renamed to start with “DB” and
be in the SilverStripe\Model\FieldType namespace. To keep DataObject
definitions concise, the original short variations of their names are
preserved as service definitions. Most of the field generation code
doesn’t need to change, but where field classes are referenced directly,
changes will be needed.
SS_Datetime, which is commonly referenced outside the model system
itself, has been preserved as a subclass of DBDatetime. This has been
marked as deprecated and can be removed in SilverStripe 5.
A few places that referred to $db and $casting values weren’t using
the Injector to instantiate the relevant classes. This meant that the
remapping we have created as part of moving classes into a namespace
didn’t work.

Rely on standard vendor/bin/phpunit via CLI instead.

- Not disabling xdebug. That should be harmful, and is actively harming test development
- No longer able to specifically skip tests via the `SkipTests` request parameter. Use phpunit.xml groups and the `--exclude-group` CLI argument instead
- No longer able to specify multiple comma-separated module folders. use phpunit.xml groups and the `--group` CLI argument instead
- Not explicitly calling `SSViewer::flush_template_cache()` (was never the case on running `phpunit` CLI anyway, and shouldn't be required any more)
API Improved support for versioned DataObject
API GridField extensions for versioned dataobjects
API De-couple File and ErrorPage
API File::handle_shortcode now respects canView()
API AssetControlExtension is now able to delete, publish, or protect files
API Upload now protects new assets by default
At the moment, using the "Remember me" function on more than one device will only work with the last device used. Previous devices will not auto login.
This PR introduces a new DataObject for storing hashed tokens against multiple devices. Developers can configure if logging out should discard all tokens, or only the one used on the device logging out; token expiry date is 90 days by default but configurable. For added security, the old behaviour can still be enforced if multiple tokens are not desired.
