Following changes may create regressions for some external modules, but were necessary to make Dolibarr better:
* There is a new specific permission to be allowed to enter timesheets. If you use timesheet, don't forget to give the new permission (disable and
enable the module project if it is not visible).
* The default value for MAIN_SECURITY_CSRF_WITH_TOKEN has been set to 2. It means any POST and any GET request that contains the "action" or "massaction"
with a value of a sensitive action must also a valid token parameter (With previous value 1, only POST was concerned). Note: With value 3, any URL
with parameter "action" or "massaction" need the token, whatever is the value of the action.
* verifCond('stringtoevaluate') now return false when string contains a bad syntax content instead of true.
* The deprecated method thirdparty_doc_create() has been removed. You can use the generateDocument() instead.
* All triggers with a name XXX_UPDATE have been renamed with name XXX_MODIFY for code consistency purpose.
* Rename build_path_from_id_categ() into buildPathFromId() and set method to private.
* Move massaction 'confirm_createbills' from actions_massactions.inc.php to commande/list.php
* Method fetch_all_resources(), fetch_all_used(), fetch_all_available() of DolResource has been removed (they were not used by core code).
* Method fetch_all of DolResource has been renamed into fetchAll() to match naming conventions.
* The hook 'upgrade' and 'doUpgrade2" has been renamed 'doUpgradeBefore' and 'doUpgradeAfterDB'. A new trigger 'doUpgradeAfterFiles' has been introduced.
* The context hook 'suppliercard' when on the supplier tab of a thirdparty has been renamed into 'thirdpartysupplier'
