3.4.0
=====

Breaking
--------

Nothing

Features
--------

* Adjust TYPO3 page cache timeout based on rendered dates.
  Will use one of the following:

  - end time of each rendered date

  - start time of each rendered date (if upcoming is enabled)

  - midnight (if midnight is configured)

  The lowest date will be used to calculate the maximum time to life for the page cache.
  This is compared to the already calculated time to life.
  The lower value is then used by TYPO3.

  That allows visitors to always see the next dates.

* Add ``upcoming`` setting for dates.

  The option can be set to ``0`` (default) or ``1``.
  ``0`` behaves the same way as in the past.
  ``1`` turns off the option ``useMidnight``, ``start`` and ``end``.
  Only dates with a start date in the future will be shown.

* Handle changes to images for events.
  The import of destination data one only added new images but kept existing images untouched.
  This was now improved. The import now will update, remove and re-sort images as well.
  Existing image files won't be downloaded again, only information and position are updated.

* Flushes page caches during import and edits.
  Proper cache tags are now added to the pages whenever the controller is used.
  That ensures that modifications during import or while editing records are flushing
  corresponding pages.

* Improve handling of file meta data during import from destination.one.

  * Set ``alternative`` to the ``description`` if available.

  * Set ``creator_tool`` to the "destination.one".

  * Set ``source`` to the URL of the fetched image.

Fixes
-----

* Do not delete files if they are still in use.
  The clean up task had an issue to clean up to many files.
  It didn't check if a file that could be deleted because one event got deleted,
  was still in use by another event.

* Generate slugs after each single event was imported.
  This should prevent a situation where a large amount of events is imported without
  having slugs.
  Routing might break depending on configuration.
  The time range where this can happen is now reduced as slugs for each event and
  date is generated right after saving each of them.

* Improve deletion of files and their relations.
  The used database query didn't work as expected and could result in data loss.
  There are now two database queries and the logic is moved to PHP.
  Furthermore, the test cases were extended with another situation.

* Do not break update wizard due to missing columns.
  The existing update wizard expects old columns to exist in order to migrate data.
  Those might not exist in newer systems where migration is not necessary.
  The wizard now properly checks for existence before querying the data.

Tasks
-----

* De-duplicate code within functional tests.
