This new release contains possibly breaking changes compared to 1.2.x. When upgrading to this version, please have a look at the applied changes and make sure they work for you as expected.
The significant new feature in this release is an ability for each Storage bundle, to configure whether or not entities can be viewed directly. If not set, entities can only be viewed indirectly, for example through an entity reference field.
A number of bug fixes and new features, including support for the Entity API module's query access handler, and a new GetStringRepresentation method that can be used to define how storage entities should mapped into strings. Also includes a new name_pattern property on storage bundles, to allow a site builder to use tokens to define how the "name" of a storage entity will be constructed.
This is the first stable release of Storage Entities. There are currently no known issues. If you need to store information that isn't well suited to nodes (for example, too little information to be useful on its own) then storage entities may be a useful alternative. There is also an issue for Admin Toolbar with a patch to make Storage links appear in the Content menu, equivalent to what is currently available for nodes and media.
We found a serious bug with the list interface, so decided to roll a new release with the fix. Also worth noting that the Storage Entities project has officially opted into security coverage, though we are likely still a little ways off from having a stable release.
Based on some excellent feedback, creating a new release to ensure anyone trying Storage Entities doesn't need to reinstall it to get the latest features.
Initial release. This module is meant to provide a more lightweight alternative to Nodes, especially when the content being stored isn't meant to be directly accessed. Any feedback is welcome.
