PR #39460
The old tree views don't really exist anymore, this odd pseudo-flag to
dispatch between "list" and "tree" tree views has no reason to remain.

Track_visibility field parameter allows to track field changes in mail. Since
commit https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/c99de4551583e801ecc6669ac456c4f7e2eef1da only updated values are tracked. Previously to that commit it
was possible to have field values being tracked whenever any other change
occurred. This feature has been removed to simplify tracking and avoid having
unnecessary values in the tracking table. In this commit we rename the
track_visibility parameter to tracking. Old parameter value is still supported
in mail for backward compatibility.
Commit https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/ec35eca7c6b772139c8fa143b388ad1d936bc9ea added sequence on tracking so that display of tracking values
is coherent through various chatter messages. To ease tracking configuration
it is merged with the tracking (old track_visibility) parameter. It means
tracking parameter can either be True (default sequence of 100) or an integer
giving the sequence to apply on the tracking.
Purpose of those changes is to simplify tracking configuration with studio
in mind. That way changing one parameter allow to customize the tracking of
fields in chatter.
Sequence field on mail.tracking.value model is renamed to tracking_sequence to
have a coherent namespace for tracking information. Tracking information on
ir.model.fields is also updated accordingly. To simplify manipulation boolean
value for tracking is automatically transformed into a sequence of 100.
This commit is linked to task ID 1903814 and PR #28430.
Fields in the chatter can be organized with a business logic.
Here fields for CRM and Website E-commerce have a tracking sequence.
For other fields/module just add "track_sequence=x" on model
This commit introduces a new view type, the timeline view. This view is
intended to display messages like the previous chatter. This is now a view
like the form or list view. Like other views it will be possible to have
custom templates for some specific needs, allowing customization.
[IMP] mail: the value tracking is modified. Previously messages were created
containing the modified values. Those values are now stored, using a new
model mail.tracking.value. The message body is dynamically build based on
the values. Tests have been updated.
This version is temporary. Indeed two main modifications will come in a short
future :
- the new design will improve the display
- the slack mode will change the way the Inbox and notifications are managed
All glory to the Hypnotoad.
Special thanks to Valerie Pirenne (vpi), Jerome Maes (jem) and Richat Mathot
(rim) that did not code but said a lot of things. Martin Trigaux (mat) did
nothing, a bit like for the slides modules, but he is busy sending emails.
