== [PATCH] 697 webui: improve usability of attributes widget ==
Attributes widget layour was changed from tiny table which allowed
to display only few options to a checkbox list with multiple
columns (depends on container).
Check all attributes option was removed to force the user
to read through the attributes which he selects.
Initial version authored by: Adam Misnyovszki
== [PATCH] 698 webui: add filter to attributes widget ==
Adds filter field to attribute box in permissions for better user
experience. User can then quickly find the desired attribute.

There is a case where attributes widget can contain > 1000 items.
It's about 3000 nodes. It's slow in jQuery. Simple move to dojo
speeds it up (is closer to native calls) while maintaining developer
friendliness.
Now the biggest lag is in browser's render. It's probably not worth
developer time to optimize that.
== [PATCH] 700 webui: custom attr in attributes widget ==
Web UI doesn't always know what are the possible attributes
for target object. This will allow to add custom attributes
if necessary.
== [PATCH] 701 webui: attr widget: get list of possible attrs from
ipapermdefaultattr ==
Very useful for managed permissions since the list of attrs in metadata
might be smaller that default attributes. This smooths behavior if one
removes an attr from effective attrs which is not in metadata. Without
this it will disappear from the list and one has to add it manually
through 'Add'.
