Pertinent to users:
- Added a pyblcmd command line program for PyBlosxom command line things. This now handles static rendering, rendering a single url to stdout, testing your blog setup, ...
- The Atom story template now has a $default_flavour bit in the link. Bug 1667937. (Thanks Michael!)
- PyBlosxom is now locale aware in respects to dates, months, days of the week and such. Users should set the locale config property to a valid locale if they don't want English.
- Added a ``blog_icbm`` config variable for use in the ICBM meta tag. See config_variables.txt for more information.
- Changed the ``num_entries`` property in config.py from 40 to a much more conservative 5. Also changed the default value from 0 to 5 if you happened not to set ``num_entries`` at all. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=373658 (Thanks Jon!)
- Changed the self link in the atom feed to be of type application/atom+xml. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=403008 (Thanks Brian!)
- Added DOCUMENT_ROOT to the python path per Martin's suggestion. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=367127 (Thanks Martin!)
- Translated all documentation from Docbook to reST. reST documentation is easier to read in "source-form" and a lot easier to convert to HTML and other formats using the Python docutils tools. (Thanks John!)
- Added support for Paste and brought the WSGI support into the codebase. (Thanks Steven and Yury!)
Pertinent to developers:
- Lots of code clean-up, documentation, test-code, and some refactoring.
- cb_filestat will only do an os.stat if no plugin handles the filestat. Previously, cb_filestat did an os.stat and ran through all the plugins allowing them to over-ride it.
- Added some testing framework pieces. This requires nose. To run
the tests, do::
nosetests --verbose --include unit nosetests --verbose --include functional
Many thanks to all the people who've helped out over the last 17 months or so and the patience of our users.
