0.4 (unreleased)¶

0.3.3 (2008-12-02)¶

Bug fixes:

• file-specific context variables were not set during template evaluation
• fixed file positions shown in template traceback supplements skewed by splitting off scripts from files’ beginnings

API:

• added input request attribute which is a file-like object from which to read the request body
• added headers request attribute which is a namespace of HTTP headers with leading HTTP_ removed
• optionally pre-fill response_headers namespace with response headers set earlier by the server environment

Organization:

• added setup for generating HTML documentation using Sphinx

0.3.2 (2008-01-08)¶

User-visible:

• more helpful tracebacks for broken page templates
• None is available in the page template evaluation context

API:

• added request configuration parameter immediate_result that makes the request return the unmodified unicode page body to ease further processing
• page templates raise ValueError when constructed from broken template text

Organization:

• simplified setup.py: cleaned up egg contents, set zip_safe flag, removed provides flag which is not supported by Python 2.4
• Un-declared the feedparser dependency since that egg is awkward to install using zc.buildout. The feeds tool will stay until 0.4 for compatibility.

0.3.1 (2007-12-07)¶

User-visible:

• tools: added the Metadata.mtime method which returns the current input file’s modification time as a datetime object

Bug fixes:

• Request.render_template uses full context for rendering a template
• Documented restriction to main_interpreter when run through mod_python.

API:

• renamed request method interpret_template to render_template
• Request.traverse and Request.__call__ accept additional context as keyword arguments, the WSGI interface accepts it as a mapping named ophelia.context in the environ dictionary
• console script entry points accept defaults for some command line options
• tools: made Metadata.bump_date accept a datetime object

Organization:

• simplified buildout configuration

0.3 (2007-07-06)¶

User-visible:

• a WSGI application running Ophelia was added along with a basic wsgiref-based server running that application
• a script for dumping a single Ophelia-generated page to stdout
• use restructured text format for documentation
• scripts are now allowed in macro files
• more informative error pages and logs
• configuration options changed from CamelCase to lower_case

Bug fixes:

• Apache-generated directory indexes and PHP pages work now. This needs at least version 3.3 of mod_python.
• actually use the template text passed to StopTraversal as a template

API:

• renamed modules, moved classes between modules:

  • publisher.Namespace -> util.Namespace
  • template -> input
  • apache -> modpython
  • publisher.PageTemplate* -> pagetemplate.PageTemplate*
  • publisher.Publisher -> request.Request, publisher -> request, also renamed script variable __publisher__ -> __request__

• current template moved from request member (template) to pre-defined script and TALES variable __template__

• request.Redirect exception has an option for replacing the path portion of the target URL (saves the client some urlparse acrobatics) and uses the original request’s complete URI as a default base for the target

• combined request.StopTraversal exception parameters into one, text

• added methods insert_template and interpret_template to request, reduced load_macros signature to a single relative file name

• added the next_name request member as a temporary solution for overriding the file or directory read during the next traversal step

• replaced request member file_path by dir_path as that’s simpler to use

• store environment namespace on request as member env instead of the Apache request

Code:

• use zope.pagetemplate instead of fiddling with the TAL engine directly
• use zope.exceptions instead of log_error to get supplemented tracebacks and cleaner code
• use zope.interface to formally specify the API exposed to user code
• some clean-up

Organization:

• made egg name lower case
• made the ophelia egg require needed parts of Zope by egg dependencies
• added svn:ignore property
• set up a zc.buildout environment for a development installation
• added tests

0.2 (2007-02-04)¶

User-visible:

• made template and script encodings and the index template name configurable from Apache config
• renamed SitePrefix config variable to “Site”
• cleaned up pre-defined script variables, introduced __publisher__ and __file__
• made script variables directly usable in templates
• updated and improved documentation and example site
• switched configuration to using Location directives to get rid of dummy static directories and index.html files
• added optional redirection of URLs ending with index page to directories
• added ophelia.tool.feed, providing a download function using the Universal feedparser package, and a feed loader for using the feeds downloaded

Bug fixes:

• correctly compute ETags from unicode content
• fixed a typo in the example’s CSS
• fixed a missing trailing slash in the site variable and spurious leading slashes in the traversal history entries which broke URL synthesis
• made localized dates with non-ASCII chars in month names usable with templates by adding ophelia.util.strftime
• made the publisher available to functions called from inside templates

API:

• made ophelia.publisher.Namespace subclass dict
• turned publisher and file splitter into objects accessible from scripts
• removed thus obsolete ophelia.oapi module
• added set_chapter() to navigation tool, removed the zoo of URI builders
• added Redirect exception
• renamed methods to get rid of camel case and comply with current PEP 8
• added ophelia.util with an strftime function that returns unicode

Code:

• modularized publishing logic
• straightened out handling of URL and file paths
• replaced file() calls by open() calls

Organization:

• added change log
• moved roadmap from docs to distribution root, added README.txt to root
• started using setuptools and distributing Ophelia as a Python egg
• moved opheliatools package to ophelia.tool for minimal namespace impact
