Widgy v0.3.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2014-09-24 // over 9 years ago
  • ๐Ÿš€ This release mainly focusses on the New Save Flow feature, but also includes โšก๏ธ several bug fixes and some nice CSS touch ups. There have been some updates to โฌ†๏ธ the dependencies, so please be sure to check the How to Upgrade_ section to โšก๏ธ make sure that you get everything updated correctly.

    Major Changes ^

    • โฌ†๏ธ New Save Flow Requires upgrading Mezzanine to at least 3.1.10 [Gavin Wahl, Rocky Meza, #241]

    We have updated the workflow for WidgyPage. We consider this an experiment that we can hopefully expand to all WidgyAdmins in the future. We hope that this new save flow is more intuitive and less tedious.

    As you can see, we have rearranged some of the buttons and have gotten rid of the Published Status button. The new save buttons on the bottom right now will control the publish state as well as the commit status. This means that now instead of committing and saving being a two-step process, it all lives in one button. This should make editing and saving a smoother process. Additionally, we have renamed some buttons to make their intent more obvious.

    โฌ†๏ธ How to Upgrade ^

    ๐Ÿš€ In this release, widgy has udpated two of its dependencies:

    • ๐Ÿ‘ The minimum supported version of django-filer is now 0.9.6 (previously 0.9.5).
    • ๐Ÿ‘ The minimum supported version of Mezzanine is now 3.1.10 (previously 1.3.0).

    โฌ†๏ธ If you pip install django-widgy==0.3.0, it should upgrade the dependencies for you, but just to be sure, you may want to also run ::

    pip install 'django-filer>=0.9.6' 'Mezzanine>=3.1.10'
    

    โšก๏ธ to make sure that you get the updates.

    .. note::

    Please note that if you are upgrading from an older version of Mezzanine,
    that the admin center has been restyled a little bit.
