Optimize filtering of search results Now the Permission class constructor takes an optional argument 'filter'. Now if we do not find a permission on the whole class *and* all permission objects on the current class with a check method also have a filter method we can improve search performance by filtering in the database (instead of in python).

def init_severity(db, cl, nodeid, newvalues):
    """Make sure severity is set on new issues"""
    if 'severity' in newvalues and newvalues['severity']:
        return

    normal = db.severity.lookup('normal')
    newvalues['severity'] = normal

def init(db):
    db.issue.audit('create', init_severity)
