ErlyDTL NEWS file

This file records noteworthy changes and additions to erlydtl as suggested by the GNU Coding Standards.

0.9.3 (2014-03-27)

• Fixed list indexing (#155).
• Fixed release process to work for non-git installations (#154).

0.9.2 (2014-03-22)

• Added NEWS file.
• Fixed broken compile_dir (#146).
• The backwards incompatible change in 0.9.1 for directory-compiled templates has been reverted. A new render function has been added instead (#148).
• Fixed broken escape feature (#150).
• Added translator comments (#152, #127) (@seriyps).

0.9.1 (2014-03-02)

This release brings a row of major internal improvements and also a few new and improved features.

• Replaced most of erl_syntax use for merl (#123).
• Refactored compiler and test suite (#134, #136).
• Updated result value for directory-compiled (compile_dir) templates to return {ok, Rendered} | {error, Reason} just as for normally compiled templates. Please note that this is a backwards incompatible change.
• Regroup tag is now Django compatible! (the formerly required endregroup tag has been made optional) (#101).
• The trans tag now supports the {% trans "text string" as Varname %} construct to catch the translated text rather than output it in place.
• {{ block.super }} is now supported in child blocks (#18).
• Template:variables() now only lists referenced render variables (#118).
• New erlydtl_library behaviour for adding custom filters and tags (#137).
• New load tag added. Only difference to that of django is that we don't support loading a library from a package, as there are no notion of packages in Erlang (#100).
• New compile options supporting the load tag: libraries and default_libraries. See the readme. (the previous custom_tags_modules and custom_filters_modules are still supported, although being marked deprecated in favour of the new options).
• New compile options for aid in debugging erlydtl itself: debug_compiler and debug_root as described in the readme (#139).

See milestone 0.9.1 for a complete list of closed issues in this release.

Happy templating!

0.9.0 (2014-02-17)

After some fluctuating stability around 0.8.1, this release brings a set of improvements that has been tested not only by the test suite, but also in a couple of projects.

• API changes. Added _file and _template suffixes to the compile functions to explicitly convey what is to be compiled.
• Autoescape is now enabled by default. Use the relatively new auto_escape option if you want this disabled by default.
• blocktrans blocks can now be translated to multiple locales in runtime. (thanks to @seriyps).
• trans and _(...) tags can now be translated to multiple locales at compile time. (thanks to @seriyps).
• Don't want to save the compiled .beam file? Use {out_dir, false} compile time option (this was possible before as well, when no out_dir was specified, but that results in a warning).
• The error reporting has been fixed for certain cases.

0.8.2 (2014-01-29)

My sincere apologies, this really should have been in the 0.8.1 release.

This release brings the new error/warning options and return values also to the compile_dir api function.

Backwards incompatible notes:

Please notice that the new error reporting options also introduces subtle incompatible changes in the API (see #126).

It's not hard to adapt, but I want you all to be aware of this when upgrading.

These changes were made already in 0.8.1, but the specs were not, so dialyzer did not pick up on them.

0.8.1 (2014-01-19)

This release is a clean-up release with a bunch of minor issues squeezed out.

• Improved options for error reporting.
• new auto_escape compile option for django purists.
• Cleaned out some warnings given by Dialyzer.
• Major improvements to the generated code for for-loops.

Warning

The compile_dir function is not updated to the new way of reporting errors and warnings, and is in a semi-workable state. A fix is committed to master, and will be included in the next release.

0.8.0 (2014-01-10)

This is a release to bring in all the changes together since 0.7.0, and will be the starting point for a lot of future improvements.

0.7.0 (2011-03-21

• Support no-argument version of date filter.

0.6.0 (2010-04-28)

• Implement trans tag with support for .po files Includes a .po parser and generator, docs, and tests. See README_I18N.

Many thanks to David Garcia.

0.5.3 (2009-08-13)

• Create "ebin" directory if it does not exist. Thanks to uri.sharf for the bug report, ja...@nialscorva.net for the patch.

• Do not require a space between a variable name and closing bracket, e.g. allow {{var1}}.

0.5.1 (2008-10-23)

• Applied patch from Dan Milstein to fix a crash when rendering floats.

0.5.0 (2008-08-07)

• Run functional tests from "make test".
