Wofpy

*Note: Testing largely focused on WOF/WaterML 1.1 only.*

Enhancements
- Allow custom `urlpath` to be specified; url path made independent of network name (205)
- Completely overhauled entry point HTML pages. More user friendly and now fully leveraging user information in config file (167, 210, 214)

Bug fixes
- Improved unicode support; fixed failures when unicode characters were encountered, including in Units strings (148, 188, 197, 204)
- Update `Connection_String` of config.cfg to address SQLite problems (JuliaBong, 190)
- Handle `None` Contact Info that causes error (198)

WaterML 1.1 response content fixes and enhancements
- Added missing `unitCode` element in `GetValues` (202, 207)
- Align code id/code in `value` elements (209, 211)
- Added `GetSiteInfo` `TimeScale` element content (212)
- Update default service wsdl url pattern (192)

Others
- Updated installation and setup documentation, and removed old, now-useless documents (216; also 199 from miguelcleon)
- Enhanced tests, testing framework, and CI, including databases in CI; and now using the WaterML 1.1 xsd schema file for validation testing (186, 193, 194, 196, 203; thanks also to miguelcleon and benjamincrary -- the latter using WaterML R package)
- Diverse improvements resulting from miguelcleon's efforts to register WOFpy endpoint with HIS central (196)
- Code cleanups

Substantial set of bug fixes, reducing the number of fatal errors and failed requests, and greatly improving response content.

Failing errors fixed
- Generalized handling of errors in database interactions, to address failures requiring WOFpy service restart (170, 172, 173).
- In `GetSiteInfo` 1.1 response, fixed mixed, incorrect use of `note` element (instead of `siteProperty`) and added exemption handling for cases where ODM2 `SamplingFeatures.SamplingFeatureDescription` and other relevant attributes are empty (168, 171).
- Improved unicode support; fixed failures when unicode characters were encountered (148, 155, 158)
- MS SQL testing and fixes for ODM2 timeseries DAO (157, 174).

WaterML 1.1 response content problems
- Addressed malformed, missing or sub-optimal content.
- Overhauled handling of CV's, specially ones related to variables (including datatype, samplemedium, unitstype, generalcategory, valuetype, censorcode) (160, 152, 153, 159, 175, 177, 178, 181, 182).
- New functionality to cache relevant WaterML 1.1 CV's from the CUAHSI CV service, for term validation.
- Focus -- but not exclusively -- on ODM2 timeseries DAO issues. Includes new mappings from ODM2 to WaterML 1.1 when feasible (censorcode, datatype, samplemedium).
- Issues with `GetSiteInfo` response
- Added missing `Source` and other elements from ODM2 timeseries DAO (163).
- Added missing, `agencyName` and `agencyCode` for government organizations (162, 164).
- Added missing `SourceCode` attribute in `GetValues` (163).

Others
- Added `GetVariables` sample request to sample REST web page (169)
- Updated documentation (but an overhaul and simplification is still needed)

*Note: most testing focused on WOF/WaterML 1.1 only.*

- greatly improved installation and setup, to make it easier and clearer to users
- [new, interim installation and setup documentation](https://github.com/ODM2/WOFpy/blob/master/docs/WOFpyODM2LBR_installation.md)
- removed pinned dependence to old `sqlalchemy` version (resulted in problems with odm2 timeseries dao handling SQLite); and to `odm2api` in `setup.py`
- added a CLI interface to deploy wofpy: `wofpy_config.py`
- added sample "production_configs" files
- Travis-ci and Appveyor are back online, with a subset of priority target tests
- performed extensive ODM2 timeseries DAO use case testing (SQLite LBR, MySQL LBR, PostgreSQL EnviroDIY)
- many bug fixes to ensure DAO works across those 3 RDBMS
- bug fixes: "Sources" now being properly read and exposed in WaterML 1.1 GetValues response
- end date time now read from either action or timeseriesvalues, as appropriate
- code cleanups
- py3k & pep8 code cleanup (though not supporting py3k yet)
- added some docstrings
- removed code duplication: "templates", see 122
- *Note: most testing focused on WOF/WaterML 1.1 only. Double-checked that WOF/WaterML 1.0 and WaterML 2 works, but did not go further than that.*

- updated to latest ODM2API. Only required for ODM2 based services
- Added ODM2 examples
- Added WOF 1.1 and WaterML 1.1 services
- Prototype WaterML2 output validated to spec.
- Simplified the implementation of services
- Changes to better support HIS Central and Hydrodesktop
- server paths are lower CaSe for Hydrodesktop
- soap paths have cuahsi_1_0 and cuahsi_1_1 in name for HIS Central.
- better command line:
- Configuration passed on the command line.
- Connections with passwords are in text file, with file name passed on command line
- Ability to run multiple services simplified.
- changed to use spyne.io framework
- Ability to add other transports.
- aka less dependent on Flask
- WSDL's now internal to the services
- little more fragile since jinja2 template location may need to be specified
- removed Debug=True from all the run_server_xxx.py code

There were changes to the underlying ODM2API, and ODM model.
These effect the deployment of ODM2 datasources, and not other datasources.
