version 0.6.3 final (4-July-2010):
* djblets.testing:
* Fixed Selenium unit testing to properly skip the tests when
the Selenium server was down.
* djblets.util:
* Added utility functions for HTTP Accept-based content negotation.
This adds new get_http_requested_mimetype and get_http_accept_lists
functions for doing content negotiation using the HTTP Accept request
header. This header allows clients to tell the server which mimetypes
it accepts or explicitly forbids, based on priorities, so that the
server can send the right data. This can allow a single URL to return
various forms of data based on the client (HTML, PDF, JSON, etc.).
The get_http_accept_lists() function parses the HTTP Accept request
header and returns sorted lists of acceptable mimetypes and
unacceptable mimetypes. These are sorted based on the priorities in
the header.
The get_http_requested_mimetype() function takes a HttpRequest and a
list of supported mimetypes for that URL and then, based on the
results of get_http_accept_lists() and the supported mimetypes,
determines what mimetype the server should be using. If nothing is
supported, it will return None, and the server is expected to return
a HttpResponseNotAcceptable.
* JavaScript:
* This adds some stuff to gravy to make sites work better on the
iPhone/iPad versions of Safari. A new $.proxyTouchEvents function
has been added, which causes touch screen events to be forwarded to
existing mouse event handlers. It's intended for basic use cases
where multi-touch events really don't need to be handled.
* $.browser has been updated with a 'mobileSafari' check, making it
easier to determine whether we're running on the iPhone/iPad.
* A workaround for jQuery bug #6446 has been implemented, which
basically fixes an issue with the result from $.offset() being
incorrect.
* Tooltips are disabled on iPhone/Pad, as they're really not at all
useful and their hover events manage to get in the way of other
events.
version 0.6.2 final (13-May-2010):
* djblets.log:
* Fix a compatibility error with Python 2.4 and 2.5.
version 0.6.1 final (12-May-2010):
* djblets.webapi:
* Fixed a regression with the webapi auth handlers. They weren't
accepting the right arguments.
version 0.6.0 final (11-May-2010):
* djblets.datagrid:
* Fixed rendering issues with columns in the datagrids.
Adding columns to a datagrid would cause odd rendering issues. This
was due to not including the 'last' flag (indicating the last
column, in order to position the Edit Columns column properly) in
the cache key. We now add the key, which allows the datagrid to
render properly when adding or removing columns.
* Fixed over-caching of columns.
There were a couple bugs where Djblets cached the rendered columns
too aggressively, causing links on cells to point to the wrong
addresses and columns to render incorrectly based on previous loads.
(Bug #1582)
* djblets.log:
* Switched the logging setup code to use a WatchedFileHandler,
which automatically reopens the log files for writing when they're
deleting (such as after log rotation).
* djblets.testing:
* Added the new djblets.testing module, which houses our old unit
testing helpers from djblets.util.testing.
* Added new Selenium test suite support for automated browser
testing.
* djblets.webapi:
* Added a new resource-based model for doing more RESTful APIs.
This introduces a new class for easily creating RESTful URL resources
that can handle standard HTTP methods and return meaningful data in a
nicely constructed hierarchy.
By using WebAPIResource, a site can offer a very clean set of URLs to
work with any object.
There's a lot to this object, but it's all covered in the extensive
documentation in webapi/resources.py.
version 0.5.9 final (28-March-2010):
* djblets.util:
* cache_memoize now converts all keys to plain strings, instead of
allowing unicode to be passed to the backend. Not all cache
backends allow for unicode keys.
* djblets.siteconfig:
* The same change for cache keys was made here as well.
* djblets:
* Added ez_setup.py to the source distribution.
* Added djblets.__version__ and djblets.__version_info__.
__version__ is a variable containing the results of
djblets.get_package_version(), and __version_info__ contains
the version parts in a tuple.
version 0.5.8 final (27-March-2010):
* djblets.datagrid:
* Made many more speed improvements in the datagrids.
This builds upon the previous set of improvements.
We now parse and cache the cell and header templates before any
rendering is done, instead of doing it once per cell.
We also cache cells by their displayed content, so that two cells
that would show the same rendered data will only render once.
This is especially useful for cells showing such things as
usernames.
This can easily take seconds off the load of a heavy datagrid.
* Objects in the datagrid with custom primary keys that aren't named
'id' now work.
* The Edit Columns icon is now a pencil instead of just "...', making
it easier to see it and figure out its purpose. (Bug #910)
* djblets.feedview:
* The feedparser library is now only imported when needed. This
reduces startup time for requests by as much as a quarter of a
second, as feedparser is a very large library and takes time to
import.
This should improve performance for any site that at all lists
djblets.feedview in INSTALLED_APPS, even for pages not making use
of feedview.
* djblets.siteconfig:
* The stale settings issue appears to be fixed in this release. It
needs more testing in large deployments, but we've identified a
couple cases that would cause this problem and have fixed them.
* The mail authentication information is now saved as plain strings
instead of unicode strings in order to fix a compatibility issue
with Python 2.6's HMAC library.
* The SiteConfiguration's settings field is now read-only in the
Django administration UI in Django 1.2.
* djblets.webapi:
* WebAPIErrors can now take HTTP status codes that will be sent to
the browser. These default to 400, though the built-in errors may
define different codes.
This change does break backwards-compatibility if a client calling
the API makes the assumption that every result with a payload will
be an HTTP 200 OK. Clients shouldn't make these assumptions, but
it's possible that they do.
* Added support for Basic HTTP Authentication.
Clients making a call when not logged in to a restricted URL will
now get an HTTP 401 Unauthorized, along with a WWW-Authentication
header specifying that Basic Auth is to be used.
Clients can use standard Basic Auth to pass credentials to any
URL requiring such authorization in order to log in. This removes
the need for special login URLs.
This makes APIs more accessible to applications like wget or
curl.
* Added an easy way to do pagination with the web API.
API calls returning lists of data can now paginate the results,
returning only a certain amount of data. The results and the
total number of items across all pages will be returned.
URLs are provided in the resulting JSON payload that point to the
previous or next queries. Callers can pass a 'start' parameter to
the URL to specify the first item's index (0-based), and
'max-results' to specify the maximum number of items it wants in
that request (which may be capped server-side).
version 0.5.7 final (14-February-2010):
* djblets.datagrid:
* Columns in datagrids can now augment the queryset before actually
querying the database. This allows them to prefetch information
instead of having to do a query per-row.
This also now by default globally caches the resulting data in
Column.render_data if displaying a foreign key. This means that if
several rows are all referencing the same User object, for instance,
there will be only one query for that object instead of one per row.
* djblets.log:
* Add a title to the Server Log page.
* djblets.util:
* Fixed image cropping with the new Django storage support.
Python Image Library was confused about the format to save the
resulting image in when cropping. We now pass in the appropriate
format in order to allow it to save. We also log any failures that
may come up. (Bug #1396)
* JavaScript:
* Allow the classes in modalBox to be customized on a per-instance
basis, allowing for more custom types of modalBoxes (such as a
specially stylized help box). Patch by Hussain Bohra.
* Added a new $.fn.scrollIntoView function. This will ensure that the
target element is visible on-screen.
version 0.5.6 final (15-November-2009):
* djblets.auth:
* RegistrationForm now takes in a request.
* Extra context can be passed to the template for the registration
form.
version 0.5.5 final (22-October-2009):
* JavaScript:
* Fix a bug on Internet Explorer when setting the white-space
property on an auto-size text area. (Bug #1349)
version 0.5.4 final (4-October-2009):
* djblets.datagrid:
* Compatibility updates for the Django 1.2 development branch.
* JavaScript:
* On Google Chrome, the text areas would grow by a line with every key
pressed. Patch by Cory McWilliams. (Bug #1145)
* On Safari 4, the text areas wouldn't auto-resize based on text.
* On Firefox, the text areas would shrink too much when deleting text.
version 0.5.3 final (17-September-2009):
* djblets.siteconfig:
* Updated to work with Django 1.1's admin UI stylesheets.
version 0.5.2 final (15-September-2009):
* General:
* Added copyright and MIT license headers to all files.
* JavaScript:
* inlineEditors now prevent the event from bubbling up when
clicking their target element. This means that a target element
inside of an <a href="..."> will no longer cause the page to
change when clicking the element. (Bug #1221)
* djblets.auth:
* Deleted the password recovery code. It was intended for use in
an old version of Django and has since been supplanted by
Django. We don't believe anyone is using it or should be
encouraged to use it.
* djblets.log:
* Added a Server Log view for administration UIs. This is used
to display the server log (using the Python logging defaults from
djblets.log). The log is filterable and sortable.
* Exceptions are now logged when using LoggingMiddleware. When an
exception occurs, the stack, username and URL are logged.
* djblets.util.misc:
* cache_memoize will now always ensure that cache keys will never
exceed the maximum key length. If the key is larger, an md5sum
of the key is used instead. Patch by Thilo-Alexander Ginkel.
version 0.5.1 final (2-August-2009):
* JavaScript:
* Added a clear() function to $.funcQueue(), which clears the
queue and prevents any further processing until it's next started.
* djblets.util.filesystem:
* Added the new djblets.util.filesystem for filesystem-related
functionality.
* This currently contains is_exe_in_path, which checks if an
executale exists in the system path. This will do intelligent
file extension determination. It expects an application name without
a file extension (such as "cvs") and will append the ".exe" on
Windows. This is an improvement over the method we used in Review
Board before where we blindly searched for "cvs" (which could in
theory exist yet not be an executable) on Windows, or "cvs.exe"
(which could in theory exist yet not be an executable) on Linux.
version 0.5 final (20-June-2009):
* Final release of Djblets 0.5.
This release was made to go alongside Review Board 1.0. While Djblets
works its way to its own 1.0, we will attempt to not break any existing
API. However, it is important to note that Djblets is not API frozen
at all yet.
We advise developers to continue to work against Djblets SVN/nightlies,
but to base production applications on 0.5.
version 0.5 rc2 (13-June-2009):
* General:
* Properly list the license as MIT, not GPL, in setup.py.
(Bug #1120)
* JavaScript:
* Prevent funcQueue.start() from being called when the queue is
already started.
* djblets.datagrid:
* Added speedups when sorting columns. We used to generate an SQL
query that pulled in all information in the order specified by
the columns, but this could be slow for large data sets. We now
do the minimal query, retrieving only the object IDs, and then
fetch data on those specific IDs in a second query. The end result
is a significant speedup in rendering datagrids when used with
large amounts of data.
* djblets.log:
* Fix logging when we're unable to write to the log file. We now
fall back on stderr. Patch by Paolo Borelli.
* djblets.util.fields:
* Fixed a typo in a variable name that caused problems in JSONField
when getting data in an unexpected format.
version 0.5 rc1 (3-May-2009):
* JavaScript:
* Clicking the edit icons for inlineEditors no longer causes the
page to scroll in some browsers. (Bug #1057)
* djblets.datagrids:
* Sped up the datagrids in some cases by always including related
objects (up to one depth level) in the query for the datagrid.
* djblets.siteconfig:
* Prepended the site's domain to the siteconfig cache key, making it
possible to use multiple siteconfig-based apps on the same server.
(Bug #986)
* Saving a SiteConfig didn't always cause other instances of that
SiteConfig on the server to reload, meaning that people would
sometimes have to restart the server to get settings to apply.
This is now fixed.
(Bug #734)
* Removed a redundant key for the timezone.
* djblets.util.templatetags.djblets_utils:
* The ageid filter now returns an empty string if passed 'None' as
the timestamp.
version 0.5 beta 1 (28-March-2009):
* JavaScript:
* Moved to using jQuery 1.3.2.
* Small performance improvements in tooltip and modalBox.
* The edit icons in an inlineEditor are now accessible, so they can
be activated by pressing the Enter key in Firefox. Patch by
Brad Taylor. (Bug #965)
* djblets.util.fields:
* JSONField and Base64Field now properly serialize to a JSON file,
so long as the patch at http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9522
is applied.
* Objects saved in the admin UI that have a Base64Field no longer
causes garbage in the field. The fields are now saved properly.
(Bug #918)
* djblets.gravatars:
* Added an "alt" attribute for the generated gravatar image, in order
to fix XHTML compliance.
* djblets.datagrids:
* Fixed some XHTML validation errors. Patch by Onkar Shinde.
(Bug #932)
version 0.5 alpha 3 (15-February-2009):
* JavaScript Bugs Fixed:
* Fixed some major performance issues in autoSizeTextArea.
* Fixed a bug with Safari and inlineEditor where Safari would
sometimes crash due to autoSizeTextArea. We now just disable
the autoSizeTextArea functionality.
* inlineEditor no longer allows startEdit to be called when editing
is already enabled.
* New Features:
* Added new set_etag, etag_if_none_match, etag_if_match functions
for working with ETags.
* Added a new jQuery.fn.html() method that works around IE's broken
innerHTML implementation. innerHTML in IE would strip whitespace,
which was bad when inserting into <pre> and <textarea> tags.
version 0.5 alpha 2 (3-February-2009):
* JavaScript:
* We now include and require jQuery 1.3.1 and jQueyr-ui 1.6rc5.
* Added support for starting an inlineEditor in the opened state,
and prevent animations when starting or forcing it to be open.
* Disabled keypress propagation for inlineEditor. This fixes a bug
in Review Board's diff viewer (bug #838).
* djblets.gravatars (new):
* Added basic support for gravatars. This provides a {% gravatars %}
template tag for displaying a gravatar based on a User object.
See http://www.gravatar.com/ for more information on Gravatars.
* djblets.util:
* Added a {% include_as_string %} tag for including a template
as a JavaScript string.
* Added the ability to generate media and AJAX serial numbers based
on the media files and template files. These can be appended to
the media and AJAX URLs which, in combination with aggressive
Expires headers, can drastically speed up load times of sites.
See djblets.util.context_processors and
djblets.util.misc.generate_cache_serials.
* djblets.webapi:
* Set the mime type for JSON responses to application/json,
except when responding to an upload, in which case text/plain
is used.
* Fixed a bug where WebAPIResponse._get_content was called too
frequently and in some cases generated a 500 error.
