Changelog¶

v0.8 (2014-01-16)¶

Removed the broken stdout wrapper that displayed the currently enabled configuration when using the runserver management command. Added a logging based solution instead.
Fixed default value of CacheURLValue class that was shadowed by an unneeded name parameter. Thanks to Stefan Wehrmeyer.
Fixed command line options checking in the importer to happen before the validation. Thanks to Stefan Wehrmeyer.
Added Tox test configuration.
Fixed an erroneous use of PathValue in the 1.6.x project template.

Added a IPython extension to support IPython notebooks correctly. See the Cookbook for more information.

Prevented accidentally parsing the command line options to look for the --configuration option outside of Django’s management commands. This should fix a problem with gunicorn’s own --config option. Thanks to Brian Rosner for the report.

Switched from raising Django’s ImproperlyConfigured exception on errors to standard ValueError to prevent hiding those errors when Django specially handles the first.
Switched away from d2to1 as a way to define package metadata since distutils2 is dead.
Extended Value class documentation and fixed other issues.
Moved tests out of the configurations package for easier maintenance.

Added Value classes and subclasses for easier handling of settings values, including populating them from environment variables.
Renamed configurations.Settings class to configurations.Configuration to better describe what the class is all about. The old class still exists and is marked as pending deprecation. It’ll be removed in version 1.0.
Added a setup method to handle the new Value classes and allow an in-between modification of the configuration values.
Added Django project templates for 1.5.x and 1.6.x.
Reorganized and extended documentation.

Backported a fix from master that makes 0.3.x compatible with newer versions of six.

Added pristinemethod decorator to be able to have callables as settings.
Added pre_setup and post_setup method hooks to be able to run code before or after the settings loading is finished.
Minor docs and tests cleanup.

Fixed a regression in parsing the new -C/--configuration management command option.
Minor fix in showing the configuration in the runserver management command output.

backward incompatible change Dropped support for Python 2.5! Please use the 0.1 version if you really want.
Added Python>3.2 and Django 1.5 support!
Catch error when getting or evaluating callable setting class attributes.
Simplified and extended tests.
Added optional -C/--configuration management command option similar to Django’s --settings option
Fixed the runserver message about which setting is used to show the correct class.
Stopped hiding AttributeErrors happening during initialization of settings classes.
Added FastCGI helper.
Minor documentation fixes
