Mezzanine 1.4 and Cartridge 0.8 released

[Stephen McDonald]

Hi all,

I've just released Mezzanine 1.4 and Cartridge 0.8. Mezzanine is a Django powered CMS project, and Cartridge is its e-commerce solution.

Here's an overview of what's new.

Mezzanine:

- New "sort_by" template tag (in mezzanine_tags) for general purpose data sorting

- RSS blog importer now accepts a web page URL arg for retrieving the RSS link from

- Default homepage template now includes a more friendly welcome page for new projects (links to docs, mailing list etc)

- Support for Django 1.5's custom user models

- Improved support for django-reversion (set the new USE_REVERSION setting to True and its admin will be baked in)

- Admin menu now supports custom titles for regular admin sections (via the ADMIN_MENU_ORDER setting)

- Filebrowser directories can now be separated per site via the new MEDIA_LIBRARY_PER_SITE setting

- Full support for right-to-left languages (Arabic etc)

Cartridge:

- New support for tax handling which mimics the structure for shipping (settings defined handler function + session vars + order model fields)

- Initial product data installed can now be excluded in non-interactive setups (via manage.py createdb --noinput --nodata)

And as usual, both projects have received a healthy dose of bugfixes.
