  • Dropped support for Django < 1.3 backwards incompatible

  • Dropped using versiontools in favor of home made solution.

  • Added optional support for TinyMCE editor instead of the CodeMirror editor (just enable DBTEMPLATES_USE_TINYMCE).

  • Fixed an issue of the cache key generation in combination with memcache’s inability to stomach spaces.

v1.2.1 (2011-09-07)

  • Fixed a wrong use of the non-lazy localization tools.

  • Fixed bugs in the documentation.

  • Make use of django-appconf and versiontools.

v1.2 (2011-08-15)

  • Refactored the template loader to be even more cache effective.

v1.1.1 (2011-07-08)

  • Fixed bug in cache loading (again).

  • Fixed bugs in the documentation.

Note

Since dbtemplates removed support for Django lower than 1.2 you have to use the template loader class in the TEMPLATE_LOADERS ('dbtemplates.loader.Loader') and not the previosly included function that ended with load_template_source.

v1.1 (2011-07-06)

  • BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE Requires Django 1.2 or higher. For previous Django versions use an older versions of dbtemplates, e.g.:

    $ pip install "django-dbtemplates<1.1"

  • Added South migrations.

Note

If you are using South in your Django project, you can easily enable dbtemplates’ migrations, faking the first migration by using the --fake option of South’s migrate management command:

$ manage.py migrate --fake 0001 dbtemplates

Then run the rest of the migrations:

$ manage.py migrate dbtemplates

  • Removed uniqueness on the name field of the Template model. This is needed because there isn’t a unique_together for M2M fields in Django such as the sites field in the Template model.

  • Made the sites field optional to support a way to apply a template to all sites.

  • Added --delete option to sync_templates managment command to delete the file or database entry after syncing (depending on used --overwrite mode).

  • Updated translations.

  • Fixed issue with incorrectly splitting paths in sync_templates.

  • Extended tests.

  • Fixed issue with cache settings handling.

v1.0.1 (2011-04-14)

  • Minor bugfixes with regard to the new cache handling.

v1.0 (2011-04-11)

Warning

This is the first stable release of django-dbtemplates which comes with a series of backwards incompatible changes.

  • Removed own caching mechanism in favor of Django based caching mechanism. The DBTEMPLATES_CACHE_BACKEND is expected to be a valid cache backend URI, just like Django’s own CACHE_BACKEND setting. In Django >= 1.3 an 'dbtemplates' entry in the CACHES setting is also considered valid.

  • Added tox configuration to test dbtemplates on Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 with Django 1.1.X, 1.2.X and 1.3.X.

  • Added Transifex configuration.

  • Use STATIC_URL setting instead of MEDIA_URL for the media prefix. Also moved files from media/* to static/* to follow convention introduced in Django 1.3.

  • Use ReadTheDocs for documentation hosting.

v0.8.0 (2010-11-07)

  • Added Finnish translation (by jholster)

  • Added –overwrite and –app-first options to sync_templates command (by Alex Kamedov).

  • Fixed tests.

v0.7.3 (2010-09-21)

v0.7.2 (2010-09-04)

  • Moved to Github again. Sigh.

v0.7.1 (2010-07-07)

  • Fixed problem with the CodeMirror textarea, which wasn’t completely disabled before.

  • Fixed problem with the DBTEMPLATES_MEDIA_PREFIX setting, which defaults now to os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'dbtemplates') now.

    In other words, if you don’t specify a DBTEMPLATES_MEDIA_PREFIX setting and have the CodeMirror textarea enabled, dbtemplates will look in a subdirectory of your site’s MEDIA_ROOT for the CodeMirror media files.

v0.7.0 (2010-06-24)

  • Added CodeMirror-based syntax highlighting textarea, based on the amaxing work by Nic Pottier. Set the DBTEMPLATES_USE_CODEMIRROR setting to True to enable it.

  • Also reverted move to Bitbucket
