What’s new in release 2.0.0?
- The Python 2.5 lifespan has ended and it is no longer actively
supported in Aglyph.
(Aglyph 2.0.0 will not run on Python 2.5 without patching)
- Creating components using
staticmethod
, classmethod
, and nested
classes (any level) is now supported via
aglyph.component.Component.factory_name
.
- Referencing class objects, nested class objects (any level), functions, or
attributes as components is now supported via
aglyph.component.Component.member_name
.
- The Aglyph cookbook has been expanded to include many new recipes, including
examples of the aforementioned
aglyph.component.Component.factory_name
and
aglyph.component.Component.member_name
configuration options.
- The
<eval>
element in declarative XML configuration is deprecated.
Use a <component>
and a <reference>
(or @reference
attribute) to
configure anything that was previously declared as an <eval>
.
- The
aglyph.has_importable_dotted_name()
function is deprecated.
The aglyph.format_dotted_name()
function now verifies that the dotted
name is actually importable.
- The
aglyph.identify_by_spec()
function is deprecated. This really
belonged in aglyph.binder.Binder
to begin with, which is where it
now resides as a non-public method.
- Multiple calls to
aglyph.binder._Binding.init()
and
aglyph.binder._Binding.attributes()
now have a cumulative effect,
rather than replacing any previously-specified arguments or attributes,
respectively.
aglyph.compat
and aglyph.context.XMLContext
have been updated
to avoid deprecated xml.etree.ElementTree
methods.
- Python implementation detection in
aglyph.compat
has been improved.
- The
aglyph.compat.ipyetree.XmlReaderTreeBuilder
class is
deprecated. IronPython applications no longer need to explicitly pass a
parser to aglyph.context.XMLContext
(Aglyph now uses a sensible
default).
(note: with this change, the Aglyph API is now 100% cross-compatible with
all tested Python versions and variants)
- The Getting started with Aglyph tutorial and accompanying sample code have been
revamped to better demonstrate the various Aglyph configuration approaches,
as well as to provide more substantive component examples.
- Aglyph documentation now uses the Read the Docs Sphinx Theme.
