2009-07-01- Make it possible to pass strings in the formChris McDonough
"package_name:relative/path" to APIs like ``render_template``, ``render_template_to_response``, and ``get_template``. Sometimes the package in which a caller lives is a direct namespace package, so the module which is returned is semi-useless for navigating from.
2009-06-30- Add a ``reload_resources`` configuration file setting (aka theChris McDonough
``BFG_RELOAD_RESOURCES`` environment variable). When this is set to true, the server never needs to be restarted when moving files between directory resource overrides (esp. for templates currently). - Add a ``reload_all`` configuration file setting (aka the ``BFG_RELOAD_ALL`` environment variable) that implies both ``reload_resources`` and ``reload_templates``. - The ``static`` helper view class now uses a ``PackageURLParser`` in order to allow for the overriding of static resources (CSS / logo files, etc) using the ``resource`` ZCML directive. The ``PackageURLParser`` class was added to a (new) ``static`` module in BFG; it is a subclass of the ``StaticURLParser`` class in ``paste.urlparser``. - The ``repoze.bfg.templating.renderer_from_cache`` function now checks for the ``reload_resources`` setting; if it's true, it does not register a template renderer (it won't use the registry as a template renderer cache). - Add ``pkg_resources`` to the glossary. - Update the "Environment" docs to note the existence of ``reload_resources`` and ``reload_all``. - Use a colon instead of a tab as the separator between package name and relpath to form the "spec" when register a ITemplateRenderer.
2009-06-29- Use ``caller_package`` function instead of ``caller_module``Chris McDonough
function within ``templating`` to avoid needing to name the caller module in resource overrides (actually match docs). - Make it possible to override templates stored directly in a module with templates in a subdirectory of the same module, stored directly within another module, or stored in a subdirectory of another module (actually match docs).
2009-06-27- The ``repoze.bfg.templating`` module now uses ``pkg_resources`` toChris McDonough
locate and register template files instead of using an absolute path name.
2009-01-11- Improve test coverage.Chris McDonough
- Remove old cold which attempts to recover from trying to unpickle a ``z3c.pt`` template; Chameleon has been the templating engine for a good long time now. Running repoze.bfg against a sandbox that has pickled ``z3c.pt`` templates it will now just fail with an unpickling error, but can be fixed by deleting the template cache files.
2008-12-07 - Remove the ``ITestingTemplateRenderer`` interface. WhenChris McDonough
``testing.registerDummyRenderer`` is used, it now registers a dummy implementation using ``ITemplateRenderer`` interface, which is checked for when the built-in templating facilities do rendering. This change also allows developers to make explcit named utility registrations in the ZCML registry against ``ITemplateRenderer``; these will be found before any on-disk template.
2008-11-07 FeaturesChris McDonough
- Added a ``repoze.bfg.testing`` module to attempt to make it slightly easier to write unittest-based automated tests of BFG applications. Information about this class is in the documentation. - The default template renderer now supports testing better by looking for ``ITestingTemplateRenderer`` using a relative pathname. This is exposed indirectly through the API named ``registerTemplate`` in ``repoze.bfg.testing``. Deprecations - The names ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplate`` , ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateFactory`` and ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.INodeTemplate`` have been deprecated. These should now be imported as ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRenderer`` and ``repoze.bfg.interfaces.ITemplateRendererFactory``, and ``INodeTemplateRenderer`` respectively. - The name ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateFactory`` is deprecated. Use ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_zpt.ZPTTemplateRenderer``. - The name ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi.GenshiTemplateFactory`` is deprecated. Use ``repoze.bfg.chameleon_genshi.GenshiTemplateRenderer``. - The name ``repoze.bfg.xslt.XSLTemplateFactory`` is deprecated. Use ``repoze.bfg.xslt.XSLTemplateRenderer``.
