- notetypes are fetched from the DB as needed, and cached in Python
- handle note type changes in the backend. Multiple operations can now
be performed in one go, but this is not currently exposed in the GUI.
- extra methods to grab sorted note type names quickly, and fetch by
name
- col.models.save() without a provided notetype is now a no-op
- note loading/saving handled in the backend
- notes with no valid cards can now be added
- templates can now be deleted even if they would previously
orphan notes
a number of fixmes have been left in notes.py and models.py
- Adding files inside Anki now updates the media DB, so a full file
scan at sync time is no longer required if no other changes have been
made.
- Use a protobuf message for backend initialization, and return a
string error if initialization fails.
- the context exists for the lifecycle of one card's render,
and caches calls to things like .card() to avoid add-ons needing to
do their own cache management.
- add-ons can optionally add extra data to the context if they need
it across multiple filters
- removed card_will_render. the legacy hook is still available for
now
- card_did_render is now called only once, with both front and back
text
In the process of factoring out the field filtering, the "extra"
and "fullname" args are just passed in as a blank string now.
Extra was functionality that allowed a field modifier to be defined
as "filtername(arg1,arg2):field", and fullname was the name of the
field including any provided field modifiers. From grepping through
the add-ons on AnkiWeb, neither appears to have been used.
