drush 7.x-4.5-rc1

Release notes

This release includes many bug fixes, four new commands (cache-get, cache-set, archive-dump, archive-restore), and the introduction of the drush testing framework!

Changes since 7.x-4.4:

• Added hidden sql-sanitize command.
• #1100686 by greg.1.anderson. site-install command doesn't complete installation batch process. affects d6 only.
• #1100686 by eporama: site-install command doesn't complete installation batch process
• Removed site-alias assertion on sqlSynctest. It's already tested elsewhere.
• Move variable tests to own file.
• Get rid of help hook which added no value. Command descriptions are used when there is no help hook.
• #1196782 by Damien Tournoud: Respect the order of dependencies in pm-enable and pm-disable.
• #1154374 by msonnabaum: Correctly escape alias names with '/' in them.
• #827888 by moshe weitzman. Drush not picking up commands from modules located in an install profile in the help listing.
• rename unish_escapeshellarg() method to escapeshellarg(). phpstorm's refactor/rename feature rocks. would be easy to destroy backward compat with this.
• #1182640 by greg.1.anderson: change the drush windows nag message to point users to drush 5 instead. Turn the nag message back on for users who turned it off.
• #1154380 by greg.1.anderson: Clean up Windows instructions in README to point user to Drush 3 or Drush 5.
• Slight speedup to updatecode Test and expand command docs.
• Backport sqlSyncTest from 5.x branch
• Fix function dispatching: drush_foo_foo should simplify to drush_foo for any drush command foo in commandfile foo.
• Backport drush_tarball_extract() for use by wget handler and archive-restore.
• Refactor site_install so that its create+drop logic and its db_spec functions are reusable by including sql.drush.inc. Will be used by archive-restore.
• For real: archive-restore command restores DB and files from Site Archive tarballs (e.g generated by archive-dump).
• Refactor db-su handling from sql-sync so it is reused in site-install and soon in archive-restore.
• Add tests for archive-dump that were mistakenly not committed with #1152020.
• Call drush_invoke_sitealias_args() instead of drush_invoke_process() which is v5 only. Also boldly call this formatversion 1.0

• Clean up environment initialization and subsequent wiping between unit test classes.
• look for docs topics in the right place on debian
• #1198956 by Damien Tournoud. Site Install: allow passing additional form parameters.

• #704848 by agentrickard and greg.1.anderson: prevent multiple invocation of command hooks when mod.sub.drush.inc defines command mod-sub-foo.

• drush_op() should not drush_print() but rather drush_log(). Fixes test failure under --verbose mode.
• Let unit tests run in verbose mode in addition to --debug mode (which was recently added).
