Hi folks, Version 1.0a5 of the Pyramid web framework has been released.
You can install it via: easy_install pyramid Or, if you already have an older version installed: easy_install -U pyramid The documentation at http://docs.pylonshq.com/pyramid/dev/index.html has been updated accordingly. This is an alpha release with a mix of features and bug fixes. The change log follows. 1.0a5 (2010-12-14) ================== Features -------- - Add a ``handler`` ZCML directive. This directive does the same thing as ``pyramid.configuration.add_handler``. - A new module named ``pyramid.config`` was added. It subsumes the duties of the older ``pyramid.configuration`` module. - The new ``pyramid.config.Configurator` class has API methods that the older ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` class did not: ``with_context`` (a classmethod), ``include``, ``action``, and ``commit``. These methods exist for imperative application extensibility purposes. - The ``pyramid.testing.setUp`` function now accepts an ``autocommit`` keyword argument, which defaults to ``True``. If it is passed ``False``, the Config object returned by ``setUp`` will be a non-autocommiting Config object. - Add logging configuration to all paster templates. - ``pyramid_alchemy``, ``pyramid_routesalchemy``, and ``pylons_sqla`` paster templates now use idiomatic SQLAlchemy configuration in their respective ``.ini`` files and Python code. - ``pyramid.testing.DummyRequest`` now has a class variable, ``query_string``, which defaults to the empty string. - Add support for json on GAE by catching NotImplementedError and importing simplejson from django.utils. - The Mako renderer now accepts a resource specification for ``mako.module_directory``. - New boolean Mako settings variable ``mako.strict_undefined``. See `Mako Context Variables <http://www.makotemplates.org/docs/runtime.html#context-variables>`_ for its meaning. Dependencies ------------ - Depend on Mako 0.3.6+ (we now require the ``strict_undefined`` feature). Bug Fixes --------- - When creating a Configurator from within a ``paster pshell`` session, you were required to pass a ``package`` argument although ``package`` is not actually required. If you didn't pass ``package``, you would receive an error something like ``KeyError: '__name__'`` emanating from the ``pyramid.path.caller_module`` function. This has now been fixed. - The ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` paster template's unit tests failed (``AssertionError: 'SomeProject' != 'someproject'``). This is fixed. - Make default renderer work (renderer factory registered with no name, which is active for every view unless the view names a specific renderer). - The Mako renderer did not properly turn the ``mako.imports``, ``mako.default_filters``, and ``mako.imports`` settings into lists. - The Mako renderer did not properly convert the ``mako.error_handler`` setting from a dotted name to a callable. Documentation ------------- - Merged many wording, readability, and correctness changes to narrative documentation chapters from https://github.com/caseman/pyramid (up to and including "Models" narrative chapter). - "Sample Applications" section of docs changed to note existence of Cluegun, Shootout and Virginia sample applications, ported from their repoze.bfg origin packages. - SQLAlchemy+URLDispatch tutorial updated to integrate changes to ``pyramid_routesalchemy`` template. - Add ``pyramid.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` interface to Interfaces API chapter (has ``implementation()`` method, required to be used when getting at Chameleon macros). - Add a "Modifying Package Structure" section to the project narrative documentation chapter (explain turning a module into a package). - Documentation was added for the new ``handler`` ZCML directive in the ZCML section. Deprecations ------------ - ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` is now deprecated. Use ``pyramid.config.Configurator``, passing its constructor ``autocommit=True`` instead. The ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` alias will live for a long time, as every application uses it, but its import now issues a deprecation warning. The ``pyramid.config.Configurator`` class has the same API as ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` class, which it means to replace, except by default it is a *non-autocommitting* configurator. The now-deprecated ``pyramid.configuration.Configurator`` will autocommit every time a configuration method is called. The ``pyramid.configuration`` module remains, but it is deprecated. Use ``pyramid.config`` instead. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group. To post to this group, send email to pylons-de...@googlegroups.com.
