Tarbell 1.0.4 is out!

[David Eads]

Hey everyone, Tarbell 1.0.4 is out. Nothing huge, but nice stuff in this release, as well as a couple of critical bug fixes.

* Publishing broken when no blueprint exists: A minor bug introduced by using Flask Frozen for publishing.

* Wrong error bubbles up when exception is raised: This was a particularly annoying bug that causes all errors to trigger a template error.

* Add command to open context spreadsheet: A perfectly lovely idea implemented by Geoff Hing. You can now run `tarbell spreadsheet` and automatically open the local or Google spreadsheet.

* Fix SSL errors when starting server: Running the flask preview server in threaded mode had some unintended consequences.

Thanks to Geoff Hing for contributions to this release.

You can run `pip install -U tarbell` to get the latest version.

I spoke with Geoff Hing recently about moving to a monthly release cycle. I'll send a message to the group soon to propose this new release structure. It's a good idea and should help both users and my sanity. Al Jazeera has been developing a very nice blueprint that will debut at ONA in the next few days, so watch for that.

Going forward:

• On immediate horizon (v1.1 ~ November): Lots more recipes and examples in the docs, get away from using branches to specify version compatibility in blueprints, better error pages, Tarbell configuration GUI.
  
• Longer term (v1.2+ ~ Early 2016): Tarbell project administration GUI, configuration refactoring, Authomatic for OAuth, integration with other publishing platforms like Github pages.

I've been having no success at all getting a new tarbell project set up.

Essentially, answering "newproject" with ANY combination or responses dies with:

ImportError: No module named tarbell_config
(This coming from tarbell/app.py line 400 in
load_project
filename, pathname, description = imp.find_module('tarbell_config', [path]
Clearly there's something wrong with "path" but I don't know how to set that up BEFORE the actual directory gets created by the script that crashes.  It just seems odd that the script dies not being able to find a file that it itself created!)

I'm using virtualenv, and it appears to be set up correctly.

(Unfortunately, I'm on a schedule-critical project that requires tarbell - I'm on loan to this development team, and pretty much on my own getting this working, but getting past the initial set up is kinda burning through my budget.)

Damn. Bob, you aren't the only one having this problem. I'll hit you up off list.

FYI (for people seeing this):  the solution is to use an ABSOLUTE PATH when the script asks you where you want to install things instead of a relative one.  (Thanks to David for helping me sort this out.)
