js-forms: raison d'êtreJune 8 2008

Announcing js-forms - a JavaScript port of Django's newforms library.

It doesn't rain - it pours. Django MPTT 0.2.1January 16 2008

It turns out Django MPTT 0.2 had a dodgy setup.py, which only worked if you had a valid DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable in place.

You can now grab version 0.2.1 instead, which puts in a quick fix to rectify this.

Bugfix Release for Django Tagging - 0.2.1January 16 2008

A bugfix release of Django Tagging - version 0.2.1 - is available for download.

This fixes a bug with space-delimited tag input handling - duplicates weren't being removed and the list of tag names wasn't being sorted.

Grab the updated version if you're running an official distribution, or svn up to revision 128 if you're tracking trunk

Django MPTT 0.2 ReleasedJanuary 15 2008

The second public release of Django MPTT is now available for download.

Backwards-incompatible changes:

  • mptt.register replaces mptt.models.treeify for registering models with the mptt application.
  • move_node is now the only "public" method for moving nodes in TreeManager - it will figure out what do do based on its arguments. Other, peviously public, methods have been renamed with a preceding underscore to indicate the internal nature of their intended use.

New and improved features:

  • New model instance methods:

    • insert_at(target, position, commit)
    • is_child_node()
    • is_root_node()
    • is_leaf_node()
    • get_children()
    • get_next_sibling()
    • get_previous_sibling()
    • get_root()

  • New TreeManager methods:

    • insert_node(node, target, position) - insert a new node at any position in the tree, no need to save and then move any more.
Django Tagging 0.2 ReleasedJanuary 12 2008

The second public release of Django Tagging is available for download.

Version 0.2 brings:

  • Multi-word tags. Anyone who was waiting for this can thank Jeff Croft for poking me at just the right time.
    • Tags can be either space-delimited or comma-delimited.
    • Double quotes may also be used to identify a multi-word tag, if it needs to contain commas or if you just like double quotes a lot.
    • Comma-delimited tags are triggered by having a non-quoted comma anywhere in your tag input.
    • Unclosed double quotes will be ignored.
  • Querying for unions of tags (tag1 OR tag2 OR tag3) in addition to the existing intersection and single tag lookups.
  • Tag names can now be forced to lowercase before they are saved to the database by adding the appropriate FORCE_LOWERCASE_TAGS setting to your project settings module. This feature defaults to being off.
  • A tagged_object_list generic view for displaying paginated lists of objects for a given model which have a given tag, and optionally - related tags for the model.
  • A new template tag, tag_cloud_for_model.
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes.

This release also includes a significant backwards-incompatible change - the Tag and TaggedItem models no longer explicitly set their
