0.3.5

0.3.5

Released: Sun Oct 24 2010

• The <%namespace> tag allows expressions
  for the file argument, i.e. with ${}.
  The context variable, if needed,
  must be referenced explicitly.

  References: #141

• ${} expressions embedded in tags,
  such as <%foo:bar x="${...}">, now
  allow multiline Python expressions.

• Fixed previously non-covered regular
  expression, such that using a ${} expression
  inside of a tag element that doesn't allow
  them raises a CompileException instead of
  silently failing.

• Added a try/except around "import markupsafe".
  This to support GAE which can't run markupsafe. No idea whatsoever if the
  install_requires in setup.py also breaks GAE,
  couldn't get an answer on this.

0.3.4

0.3.4

Released: Tue Jun 22 2010

• Now using MarkupSafe for HTML escaping,
  i.e. in place of cgi.escape(). Faster
  C-based implementation and also escapes
  single quotes for additional security.
  Supports the html attribute for
  the given expression as well.

  When using "disable_unicode" mode,
  a pure Python HTML escaper function
  is used which also quotes single quotes.

  Note that Pylons by default doesn't
  use Mako's filter - check your
  environment.py file.

• Fixed call to "unicode.strip" in
  exceptions.text_error_template which
  is not Py3k compatible.

0.3.3

0.3.3

Released: Mon May 31 2010

• Added conditional to RichTraceback
  such that if no traceback is passed
  and sys.exc_info() has been reset,
  the formatter just returns blank
  for the "traceback" portion.

  References: #135

• Fixed sometimes incorrect usage of
  exc.class.name
  in html/text error templates when using
  Python 2.4

  References: #131

• Fixed broken @Property decorator on
  template.last_modified

• Fixed error formatting when a stacktrace
  line contains no line number, as in when
  inside an eval/exec-generated function.

  References: #132

• When a .py is being created, the tempfile
  where the source is stored temporarily is
  now made in the same directory as that of
  the .py file. This ensures that the two
  files share the same filesystem, thus
  avoiding cross-filesystem synchronization
  issues. Thanks to Charles Cazabon.

0.3.2

0.3.2

Released: Thu Mar 11 2010

• Calling a def from the top, via
  template.get_def(...).render() now checks the
  argument signature the same way as it did in
  0.2.5, so that TypeError is not raised.

Released: Sun Mar 7 2010

• Fixed incorrect dir name in setup.py

0.3.0

0.3.0

Released: Fri Mar 5 2010

• Python 2.3 support is dropped.

  References: #123

• Python 3 support is added ! See README.py3k
  for installation and testing notes.

  References: #119

• Unit tests now run with nose.

  References: #127

• Source code escaping has been simplified.
  In particular, module source files are now
  generated with the Python "magic encoding
  comment", and source code is passed through
  mostly unescaped, except for that code which
  is regenerated from parsed Python source.
  This fixes usage of unicode in
  <%namespace:defname> tags.

  References: #99

• RichTraceback(), html_error_template().render(),
  text_error_template().render() now accept "error"
  and "traceback" as optional arguments, and
  these are now actually used.

  References: #122

• The exception output generated when
  format_exceptions=True will now be as a Python
  unicode if it occurred during render_unicode(),
  or an encoded string if during render().

• A percent sign can be emitted as the first
  non-whitespace character on a line by escaping
  it as in "%%".

  References: #112

• Template accepts empty control structure, i.e.
  % if: %endif, etc.

  References: #94

• The <%page args> tag can now be used in a base
  inheriting template - the full set of render()
  arguments are passed down through the inherits
  chain. Undeclared arguments go into **pageargs
  as usual.

  References: #116

• defs declared within a <%namespace> section, an
  uncommon feature, have been improved. The defs
  no longer get doubly-rendered in the body() scope,
  and now allow local variable assignment without
  breakage.

  References: #109

• Windows paths are handled correctly if a Template
  is passed only an absolute filename (i.e. with c:
  drive etc.) and no URI - the URI is converted
  to a forward-slash path and module_directory
  is treated as a windows path.

  References: #128

• TemplateLookup raises TopLevelLookupException for
  a given path that is a directory, not a filename,
  instead of passing through to the template to
  generate IOError.

  References: #73

0.2.5

0.2.5

Released: Mon Sep 7 2009

• Added a "decorator" kw argument to <%def>,
  allows custom decoration functions to wrap
  rendering callables. Mainly intended for
  custom caching algorithms, not sure what
  other uses there may be (but there may be).
  Examples are in the "filtering" docs.

• When Mako creates subdirectories in which
  to store templates, it uses the more
  permissive mode of 0775 instead of 0750,
  helping out with certain multi-process
  scenarios. Note that the mode is always
  subject to the restrictions of the existing
  umask.

  References: #101

• Fixed namespace.getattr() to raise
  AttributeError on attribute not found
  instead of RuntimeError.

  References: #104

• Added last_modified accessor to Template,
  returns the time.time() when the module
  was created.

  References: #97

• Fixed lexing support for whitespace
  around '=' sign in defs.

  References: #102

• Removed errant "lower()" in the lexer which
  was causing tags to compile with
  case-insensitive names, thus messing up
  custom <%call> names.

  References: #108

• added "mako.version" attribute to
  the base module.

  References: #110

0.2.4

0.2.4

Released: Tue Dec 23 2008

• Fixed compatibility with Jython 2.5b1.

0.2.3

0.2.3

Released: Sun Nov 23 2008

• the <%namespacename:defname> syntax described at
  http://techspot.zzzeek.org/?p=28 has now
  been added as a built in syntax, and is recommended
  as a more modern syntax versus <%call expr="expression">.
  The %call tag itself will always remain,
  with <%namespacename:defname> presenting a more HTML-like
  alternative to calling defs, both plain and
  nested. Many examples of the new syntax are in the
  "Calling a def with embedded content" section
  of the docs.

• added support for Jython 2.5.

• cache module now uses Beaker's CacheManager
  object directly, so that all cache types are included.
  memcached is available as both "ext:memcached" and
  "memcached", the latter for backwards compatibility.

• added "cache" accessor to Template, Namespace.
  e.g. ${local.cache.get('somekey')} or
  template.cache.invalidate_body()

• added "cache_enabled=True" flag to Template,
  TemplateLookup. Setting this to False causes cache
  operations to "pass through" and execute every time;
  this flag should be integrated in Pylons with its own
  cache_enabled configuration setting.

• the Cache object now supports invalidate_def(name),
  invalidate_body(), invalidate_closure(name),
  invalidate(key), which will remove the given key
  from the cache, if it exists. The cache arguments
  (i.e. storage type) are derived from whatever has
  been already persisted for that template.

  References: #92

• For cache changes to work fully, Beaker 1.1 is required.
  1.0.1 and up will work as well with the exception of
  cache expiry. Note that Beaker 1.1 is required
  for applications which use dynamically generated keys,
  since previous versions will permanently store state in memory
  for each individual key, thus consuming all available
  memory for an arbitrarily large number of distinct
  keys.

• fixed bug whereby an <%included> template with
  <%page> args named the same as a builtin would not
  honor the default value specified in <%page>

  References: #93

• fixed the html_error_template not handling tracebacks from
  normal .py files with a magic encoding comment

  References: #88

• RichTraceback() now accepts an optional traceback object
  to be used in place of sys.exc_info()[2]. html_error_template()
  and text_error_template() accept an optional
  render()-time argument "traceback" which is passed to the
  RichTraceback object.

• added ModuleTemplate class, which allows the construction
  of a Template given a Python module generated by a previous
  Template. This allows Python modules alone to be used
  as templates with no compilation step. Source code
  and template source are optional but allow error reporting
  to work correctly.

• fixed Python 2.3 compat. in mako.pyparser

  References: #90

• fix Babel 0.9.3 compatibility; stripping comment tags is now
  optional (and enabled by default).

0.2.2

0.2.2

Released: Mon Jun 23 2008

• cached blocks now use the current context when rendering
  an expired section, instead of the original context
  passed in

  References: #87

• fixed a critical issue regarding caching, whereby
  a cached block would raise an error when called within a
  cache-refresh operation that was initiated after the
  initiating template had completed rendering.
