[Flow] !!! Breaking changes in Security Framework !!!

[Bastian Waidelich]

Hi all,

after months of work we finally submitted a major rework of the Security 
Framework to Flow and related core packages.
Those changes are the foundation for the ACL-feature that we plan to 
release with Neos 1.3.

We tried hard to minimize the impact, but there are some breaking 
changes that will most probably affect 3rd party packages.

If you really dare to work with git master, make sure to update all 
packages, run the migrate commands and observe their output:

  ./flow core:migrate
  ./flow doctrine:migrate

The commands should adjust your packages to the changes, but there might 
be edge-cases that we didn't cover yet.. Please report back if you have 
any issues upgrading to latest master.

If you want bleeding edge but don't want to risk too much, you can also 
checkout the "2.3"-branch of Flow that has been created recently and 
won't contain the ACL changes until they matured a bit.


For further information have a look at the main commit[1] and the 
"authorization" section of the latest security documenation[2].

BTW: I post this on behalf of the whole Neos team, there were many 
people involved
