> 3. Patterns API Improvements (wq/wq.db35, wq/wq.app38)

This release of [**wq.db**](https://wq.io/wq.db) brings a couple of minor improvements to v0.7:
- [**chart module**](https://wq.io/docs/chart): Compatibility with v0.3.x of [Django REST Pandas](https://github.com/wq/django-rest-pandas), which was updated for compatibility with Django REST Framework 3. (wq.db itself will be updated to DRF3 in v0.8.0). Note that the former `ChartSerializer` is now split into two: a `ChartModelSerializer` for the model fields and a `ChartPandasSerializer` for the Pandas serialization.
- [**identify pattern**](https://wq.io/docs/identify): Consistent ordering of identifiers, e.g. for rendering in detail views. The default is to order with primary identifiers first, then by authority, then by name. The new `WQ_IDENTIFIER_ORDER` setting can be used to override the default ordering.
- [**mark pattern**](https://wq.io/docs/markdown): Don't crash when there are no markdown entries attached to a model.
- Cleaned up and organized tests

**wq.db 0.7.0** introduces Python 3 and Django 1.7 support, as well as a number of minor bug fixes and API cleanup.

API Improvements
- Support for Python 3 (2). Python 2.7 is still supported (for now), but we strongly recommend using Python 3 for new projects.
- Support for Django 1.7, including new [swapper](https://github.com/wq/django-swappable-models)-enabled Django 1.7 migrations (28)
- Ability to use [chart](http://wq.io/docs/chart) for arbitrary time series models in addition to [vera](29).
- Continued to expand test suite (13), wq.app compatibility (25), and documentation (wq/wq7)
- Various minor bug fixes

New Features
- New [mark](http://wq.io/docs/markdown) pattern to support attaching one or more markdown snippets to models (30)
- `dump_config` command for generating a static [wq config](http://wq.io/docs/config) object to speed up application load (ed14f600694016ab66f7d4b81d50327b17ef3da9). Requires Django 1.7.
- `set_extra_config()` method to define arbitrary wq config properties (570b9ad1d5bef4b9f28c9be1d954b5a0734823d7)

Removed Features
- A number of contrib modules have been extracted into separate PyPI packages (29). This includes [vera](http://wq.io/vera), [dbio](http://wq.io/dbio), and the [media thumbnailer](https://github.com/wq/django-media-thumbnailer) that was previously part of [files](http://wq.io/docs/files). If your code depends on any of these modules, you will need to install them separately and update your import statements (e.g. `from wq.db.contrib.vera import models` -> `from vera import models`.
- Removed support for auto-discovering `views.py` and `serializers.py`. All of your auto-discoverable router configurations should be defined in `rest.py` (12)
