Mezzanine v4.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-07-09 // almost 9 years ago
    • Strip punctuation from keywords instead of non-alphanumeric chars, since languages like Hindi use characters that Python doesn't consider to be alphanumeric - Stephen McDonald
    • Unpin tzlocal version 1.0 - Alex Hill
    • Update tinymce setup to use browsers' built in spell checking. Tested and works in latest FireFox and Chrome and Safari - joshcartme
    • Support custom user models in admin password change view. Previously it was assumed that the user's pw change view is at "auth/user/(\d+)/password/", which caused NoReverseMatch with custom models - Rivo Laks
    • Fix admin password change for Django 1.5 - Stephen McDonald
    • Support Django 1.7 migrations - Baylee Feore
    • Don't remove south when USE_SOUTH isn't defined - Stephen McDonald
    • Use is_staff to check for logged in user in base admin template. Closes #1114 - Stephen McDonald
    • beautifulsoup version should not be pinned exactly. There's no need to require exactly 4.1.3 - Gavin Wahl
    • Added brackets for Python 3 print() - Tuk Bredsdorff
    • Handle malformed user agent strings. Closes #1116 - Stephen McDonald
    • Configure SOUTH_MIGRATION_MODULES setting to check for custom south migration packages - Stephen McDonald
    • Move south_migrations -> migrations/south - Stephen McDonald
    • Added The Entrepreneurial School <http://theentrepreneurialschool.com/> to site using Mezzanine - Renyi Khor
    • Fix DoesNotExist when non admin visits /admin. SitePermission objects are only added when staff users are created. If a non admin user (with no manually assigned site permissions) visits the admin a DoesNotExist is raised since no site permissions exist for the user. Therefore the templatetags logic should only run if the user is staff - joshcartme
    • Exposed JQUERY_UI_FILENAME for templates - wrwrwr
    • wordpress export is under Tools, not Settings - Gavin Wahl
    • Renamed all get_query_set methods to get_queryset. Django 1.6 normalized the naming, providing a metaclass that handles. previous naming schemes, while printing a warning. See: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/15363. This is probably incompatible with 1.5, but limits the amount of. Django 1.8 deprecation warnings - wrwrwr
    • Explicitly list fields when defining form from model. This only changes one test (test_richtext_widget), but here's a. short article that may explain why fields or exclude becomes. mandatory argument to modelform_factory and why you actually may. want to explicitly list fields to be available in forms: http://blog.mhartl.com/2008/09/21/mass-assignment-in-rails-applications/ - wrwrwr
    • Unfrozen future, pep and flakes. If the reason to keep these at some fixed old versions still exists,. please add a comment - wrwrwr
    • Let sqlite configuration not contain a NAME at all (as with some settings environments) - wrwrwr
    • Resolve race condition in conf.settings - Alex Hill
    • Fixed a couple of block comments not starting with hash and space - wrwrwr
    • List form fields (as recommended) to preserve compatibility with 1.5. The "__all__" shortcut must be past-1.6 only - wrwrwr
    • Fixed test_login_required when run without mezzanine.accounts. Note 1: Always testing both scenerios no matter what's in the settings. would be thorough, but without something like the 1.7+ modify_settings. it turns out ugly. It would be better to run the whole suite with and. without some optional apps. Note 2: This test passes when run through runtests, but it cheats. by forcing mezzanine.accounts into installed apps ;-) - wrwrwr
    • Allow Mezzanine's static files handling to support MEDIA_ROOT outside of STATIC_ROOT during development - Stephen McDonald
    • Don't colorize the terminal banner if color sequences aren't supported - Stephen McDonald
    • Cleaned up in_menus defaults test. Making use of the runtime settings changes support - wrwrwr
    • Added failing settings race condition test - Alex Hill
    • Simpler fix for race condition in settings - Alex Hill
    • Reorder and add comments to settings test - Alex Hill
    • Overwrite settings cache when loading from DB - Alex Hill
    • Clear DB settings after test run - Alex Hill
    • Made forms tests use Mezzanine's TestCase. Not currently necessary, but potentially surprising if you add something. to the TestCase - wrwrwr
    • Added a simple decorator defining get_query_set or get_queryset. allowing to use the latter one while preserving compatibility with 1.5. Django (1.6+) uses a metaclass to allow usage of the former name after. renaming a method (django.utils.deprecation.RenameMethodsBase), but. for the 2 cases in Mezzanine a decorator seems sufficient and less. intrusive - wrwrwr
    • Replaced usage of Options.get_(add|change|delete)_permission with. auth.get_permission_codename. Just a single case in utils/views.py. The former one is deprecated and will be removed in Django 1.8; see. https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20642 - wrwrwr
    • Added an 1.5-compatible implementation of get_permission_codename - wrwrwr
    • Made MenusField respect the current value of PAGE_MENU_TEMPLATES_DEFAULT - wrwrwr
    • Small semantic change in MenusField behavior, now in_menus returns an. empty tuple instead of None for a page not in any menu. This seems more consistent with PAGE_MENU_TEMPLATES_DEFAULT = tuple() - wrwrwr
    • Made MenusField also support dynamic changes to PAGE_MENU_TEMPLATES. This costs a call to a private Field._get_choices(), because. Field.choices is already a property - wrwrwr
    • Extended the test_login_required to check if LOGIN_URL set to view or. pattern name still allows the decorator to work as expected. The new cases are only checked if mezzanine.accounts is installed. These additional LOGIN_URL possibilities were introduced in 1.5; view. objects should also work, but don't seem to be documented - wrwrwr
    • Don't test the new options with 1.4, it's not supposed to support them - wrwrwr
    • Prevent duplicate app names when testing - Stephen McDonald
    • Extend renamed_get_queryset to also support admin classes, and apply to OwnableAdmin - Stephen McDonald

    • set_slug now saves itself - Dustin Broderick

    • Remove redundant page save in slug tests - Stephen McDonald
    • Slightly faster settings loader - Stephen McDonald
    • Fix some docstrings and messages - Stephen McDonald
    • Actually skip the threading test as expected - Stephen McDonald
    • Fix version check in post_syncdb signals - Stephen McDonald
    • Added description of "label" keyword argument of register_settings. function to docs - eyeinthebrick
    • Cache site ID on request object, even when fallback setting is used. Closes #1144 - Stephen McDonald
    • Fix site ID fallback when testing - Stephen McDonald
    • separate basic gallery functionality. to be more flexible with creating galleries we can separate gallery. functionality so it can be reused if developer wants to create a. gallery but not necessarily a gallery page - Robert Zywucki
    • Added a test for DynamicInlineAdmin - wrwrwr
    • Allow DynamicInlineAdmin fields to be a tuple. Previously, if fields was defined as a tuple, a very confusing TypeError. would be raised - Rocky Meza
    • Travis test the latest versions of Django. This way you don't have to update every time a security release comes. out - Rocky Meza
    • Re-instate conf test as per recent threading fixes. Closes #858 - Stephen McDonald
    • Return HTTP 405 on comment/rating URLs for GET requests. Closes #1159 - Stephen McDonald
    • Fix Travis Django installation - Rocky Meza
    • Shamelessly modified the dynamic admin fields tuple test, so it checks. get_fieldsets() instead of directly using the fields attribute. Also made BaseDynamicInlineAdmin work when fields are listed without. the _order field or fieldsets are declared (with or without it) - wrwrwr
    • SiteRelated changed to allow explicit site assignment on creation - Kelvin Wong
    • Made "flake8 ." output less warnings. Excluded docs/conf.py as its autogenerated by Sphinx and increased. acceptable complexity from 10 to 20 - wrwrwr
    • Allowed optional apps to be loaded for testing - wrwrwr
    • Separated generation of short_urls from their saving - wrwrwr

    • Fixed core.test_password_reset with i18n_patterns - wrwrwr
    • Use the response context during two-phase rendering. If a response has context_data use that instead of creating a new. context and running context processors again - David Sanders
    • Fix for using response context_data - David Sanders
    • Remove call to set_model_permissions in page admin - Alex Hill
    • Backout context processor changes to cache middleware for now, re #1174 - Stephen McDonald
    • Prevent order setting vs. form submission race condition. If the js runs slow for any reason the admin form can submit before the order of inlines has been set - joshcartme
    • Create new model field OrderField - Alex Hill
    • OrderWidget.is_hidden should evaluate False - Alex Hill
    • Update orderable ordering to use the submit event. It seems that the click event may not be guaranteed to run in FireFox before the form actually submits. This may be due to a variety of factors including the version of jQuery but for now switching to the submit event solves the problem - joshcartme
    • Fixed spelling of 'collapsed' - Stone C. Lasley
    • Refactored all the initial data setup to only occur when the createdb command is used, since Django 1.7's migrations no longer provide a signal that can reliably trap when tables are created - Stephen McDonald
    • Added migrations for changed _order field - Stephen McDonald
    • Host the dashboard screentshot in the docs so it can be correctly referenced on github - Stephen McDonald
    • Fix docs build for Django 1.7 - Stephen McDonald
    • Fix for brocken link - Krzysztof Szumny
    • Fix optional data installation for non-interactive installs - Stephen McDonald
    • Don't store absolute urls as short urls in the db, since the column length is shorted, and these aren't necessairly permanent either. Closes #1178 - Stephen McDonald
    • Refactored the fields_for templatetag to allow for custom field template - Avery Laird
    • nginx conf: use Mozilla recommended ciphers. For the included nginx.conf, use the ciphersuite recommended by the Operations. Security team at the Mozilla project: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS. The ones included here are the ones labelled "Intermediate compatibility".

    • Test up to Python 3.4 and Django up to 1.8 - Alex Hill
    • Test with Py 3.4, Django 1.7 and default runners. Update .travis.yml config to run tests under Python 3.4 and Django 1.7.

Under DiscoverRunner, the django.contrib tests won’t be run - Alex Hill

    • Miscellaneous backwards-compatible 1.8 fixes. Includes changes to Meta, some moved functions and various internal API. changes - Alex Hill
    • Accommodate Django 1.8's template system changes. Django 1.8 introduces the possibility of using multiple template. engines, which means that some components of Django's template system. have been encapsulated in an Engine class instead of being available. globally, and other parts refactored and moved around - Alex Hill
    • Remove Django 1.4 and 1.5 from .travis.yml - Alex Hill
    • No need to enable SHA1 hasher in tests > 1.4 - Alex Hill
    • Remove mezzanine.utils.models.get_user_model. This was introduced for compatibility with Django 1.4 after Django 1.5. included support for custom User models. Now that we no longer support. Django 1.4, we can just use the builtin version. Still need to remove references in filebrowser, so the import remains. in mezzanine.utils.models - Alex Hill
