Other changes:
- Factored out Zotero.Translators from Zotero.Translator. The latter
should be usable in the bookmarklet and connectors without changes.
- configOptions, displayOptions, and hiddenPrefs no longer copy on
read. I don't think this actually affects any existing code.
- Zotero.Translate._loadTranslator() now returns a promise
This mostly works, but there is still much to be done:
- getTranslators() calls in preferences_export.js and quickCopy.js need
to be made asynchronous
- getTranslators() calls in mimeTypeHandler.js need to be made
asynchronous. This looks hard, since there is a synchronous Mozilla
API involved
- I need to test lookup, the connector server, and export more to make
sure that they actually work
- This API needs to be implemented for the connector and bookmarklet
- Translators should be read off the disk using async IO
The exception is valueQueryAsync(), which continues to return FALSE if
there's no result.
Note that this is different from the synchronous query methods.
This change should improve Firefox startup time. If the Zotero pane is
opened before Zotero has initialized, the pane will be blocked with a
progress bar until it's done. Standalone currently does the same, but it
should be changed to just delay opening the window if possible.
The upgrade wizard has been disabled for schema upgrades, in the hope
that upgrades can be done in a way that won't break compatibility with
earlier versions (or that can at least be done in a way such that we can
put out point releases of the last major version that provide
compatibility during beta/post-upgrade periods).
This patch likely breaks many things, and definitely breaks connector
mode.
This change also removes upgrade steps for databases from Zotero 2.1b2
and earlier. Users with such databases will need to upgrade via Zotero
4.0.x first or delete their data directories and start anew. This should
only affect users who haven't opened Zotero since Nov. 2010.
