Mako 0.2.5 released
Michael Bayer
.
The new feature in here (which I've been using for many months now,
actually) is <%def> decorators. A bit of documentation on this
feature is at http://www.makotemplates.org/docs/filtering.html#filtering_decorating
. Truth be told I no longer use the "cache" attributes within Mako
at all, I've written decorators that integrate with Beaker's "cache
regions" functionality (http://beaker.groovie.org/
configuration.html#id2 )....or more accurately the homegrown version
which predated that feature - which allows the control of cache
parameters to be centralized and outside of templates.
Full changes for 0.2.5:
0.2.5
- 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. [ticket:101]
- Fixed namespace.__getattr__() to raise
AttributeError on attribute not found
instead of RuntimeError. [ticket:104]
- Added last_modified accessor to Template,
returns the time.time() when the module
was created. [ticket:97]
- Fixed lexing support for whitespace
around '=' sign in defs. [ticket:102]
- Removed errant "lower()" in the lexer which
was causing tags to compile with
case-insensitive names, thus messing up
custom <%call> names. [ticket:108]
- added "mako.__version__" attribute to
the base module. [ticket:110]
