allows the server to invoke methods on particular Widgets on the
client.
2005-12-03 Jp Calderone <exarkun@divmod.com>

an error message and continuing) for returning objects which do not
provide IResource.
2005-11-26 Jp Calderone <exarkun@divmod.com>
* nevow/athena.py, nevow/athena.js: Use POST for the LivePage
transport, rather than GET.

which may cooperatively share a single LivePage connection.
2005-11-09 Jp Calderone <exarkun@divmod.com>
* Athena JavaScript API unified into a pseudo-namespace hierarchy.
2005-11-07 Jp Calderone <exarkun@divmod.com>
* JSON serializer now quotes dict/object keys.
2005-11-02 Jp Calderone <exarkun@divmod.com>
* Nevow 0.6.0 released
2005-09-21 Jp Calderone <exarkun@divmod.com>
* nevow/athena.py: New implementation of LivePage with a
data-centric API: generation of JavaScript on the server is highly
discouraged, instead an API for passing around simple or complex
data structures is provided.
2005-08-01 Matt Goodall <matt@pollenation.net>
egg-ify the distribution. "python setup.py bdist_egg" will now build
a .egg in dist for Python 2.3 and Python 2.4.
2005-07-14 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* It's no longer necessary to specify addSlash = True on
the root resource. nevow.appserver.NevowSite automatically
sets it on the first argument you pass to it (the root
resource).
2005-07-12 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Usability improvements for formless at the expense of
purity of abstraction. Since the only thing anybody uses
formless for is rendering web forms, make it a little easier
to do common things. For example:
- _nevow_carryover_ does not get appended to URLs unless absolutely
necessary (because you return a value from an autocallable)
- TypedInterface is being deprecated in favor of using
IConfigurable directly, and an IConfigurable implementation
on Fragment/Page that is easy to use. To expose a "foo" method
on a page which takes a "bar" string and a "baz" integer, do this:
def bind_foo(self, ctx):
return [('bar', String()), ('baz', Integer())]
Previously, you would have had to create a TypedInterface,
declare foo and the types of the arguments in the class body,
declare that foo is autocallable, and declare that your Page
class __implements__ the interface. Now, just implement
bind_foo to return an IBinding or a list which can be munged
into one.
- It is possible to return a Page from an autocallable to have
that page displayed directly after posting the autocallable.
The URL that is used is freeform_hand, which means that the
Page goes into your "hand" in the session. The hand can only
hold one value, the most recent return result of an autocallable.
This isn't very back-button friendly but it makes it super
easy to put together a multi-step wizard interface.
See examples/tests/testformless.py and the /testformless on
the example server to see how to do this.
- It is possible to return a URL instance from an autocallable
to have the user redirected to that page after posting the
form successfully. This replaces and deprecates the old,
whacko method of setting IRedirectAfterPost on the Request.
See examples/tests/testformless.py and the /formless_redirector
on the example server to see how to do this.
* There is now livetest coverage of the formless examples,
including posting forms and checking erroneous conditions.
2005-07-06 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Major non-backwards-compatible improvements to livepage. Changes
are designed to avoid an uncollectable garbage problem which was
inherent in the previous design.
The livepage javascript glue now includes a global object named
"server". This object has a "handle" method which takes at least
one argument, a string indicating the name of the handler to
invoke on the server. When called by client-side javascript,
LivePage.locateHandler is invoked. locateHandler should return
a callable which will be called with a context indicating
which client is invoking the method, and any additional arguments
which were passed to server.handle, as strings.
The default implementation of LivePage.locateHandler looks for
a correspondingly named "handle_*" method. Using livepage is
now as simple as subclassing LivePage and providing handle_*
methods:
class Foo(LivePage):
def handle_bar(self, ctx, something):
print "something!", something
And calling server.handle in javascript:
<a onclick="server.handle('bar', 'here is something')">Click me</a>
The previous behavior of registering closures or other callables
as event handlers and then embedding them in the page is still
available using the IClientHandle.transient method. These one-
shot handlers are only invokable by the client once before being
garbage collected on the server. This makes it possible to
implement temporary dialog boxes and the like.
2005-04-09 Tommi Virtanen <tv@twistedmatrix.com>
* Allow remembering ILogger to specify an alternate access logging
method.
2005-04-06 Matt Goodall <matt@pollenation.net>
* Added optional context argument to Page's renderString and
renderSynchronously methods. This provides a site-like context that is
useful when rendering multiple pages that need common remembered data.
2005-3-23 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Releasing 0.4.1
2005-3-22 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Releasing 0.4
2005-02-22 Matt Goodall <matt@pollenation.net>
* Added a "data" renderer (rend.data) that replaces the tag's content
with the current data. i.e. <p n:data="name" n:render="data">Foo Bar</p>.

* Added i18n - a gettext-like mechanism for marking translatable content
in an application's Python modules by wrapping a string in _(). Standard
Python gettext tools can be used to generate translation files.
Translation happens during rendering and depends on a list of languages
found in the context. By default, the browser's preferred languages are
used. The default behaviour can be overridden by remembering the languages
as inevow.ILanguages in the context; allowing the language to be selected
from user preferences, for example.
2005-02-08 Matt Goodall <matt@pollenation.net>
* Extended the IDocFactory interface's load method to accept an optional
context.
The current loaders do not use the context but future loaders may, i.e. one
that loads a localised template based on some language in the context.
2005-01-01 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Rewrote LivePage quoting code to be much more correct; added many unit
tests. Some older livepage code must be changed to use the
livepage.literal object instead of passing normal strings to handler or
the LivePage client APIs.
* Added nevow.livepage module, LivePage, and ILivePage. The name liveevil
is deprecated.
2004-12-23 Phil Frost <indigo@bitglue.com>
* Added support for formless to return unicode objects. annotate.String
and subclasses (Text, Password, etc.) take a 'unicode' parameter to
enable unicode, like so:
| annotate.String(unicode=True)
The coerced value will then be a unicode object.
2004-12-16 Matt Goodall <matt@pollenation.net>
* Added ObjectContainer - a data directive accessor for retrieving an
attribute of an object. If the current data in the context (the IData) is an
object you can register ObjectContainer as the IContainer adapter for the
object's class and Nevow will automatically look inside the object to fetch
the attribute.
Note: ObjectContainer is *not* registered as the adapter for all object
types. You must explicitly register the adapter for application classes as
needed.
2004-12-08 Matt Goodall <matt@pollenation.net>
* Applied the foom/mesozoic patch to make Page.remember work correctly and
without the hack. You can now use the method reliably to remember objects at
Page construction time or any other time before the PageContext is created.
The remembered objects can be found from the context in the usual way.
class MyPage(rend.Page):
def __init__(self, original):
# Make original available as ISomething(ctx) for later.
self.remember(original, ISomething)
rend.Page.__init__(self, original)
* Added a similar remember method for NevowSite (and made a SiteContext
object the ultimate parent). You can know remember objects on the site and
have them available anywhere there's a context. A typical use case is making
some object store available to the site. This was often achieved using a
wrapper resource but now it's as easy as:
store = makeStore()
site = NevowSite(rootResource)
site.remember(store, IStore)
2004-12-08 Matt Goodall <matt@pollenation.net>
* Renamed URL.fromRequest to URL.fromContext. URL.fromRequest was a little
confusing - the URL it returned only included the segments that had been
consumed so far by the locateChild process and not the whole URL as the name
might suggest. Eventually, fromRequest will change to return a full URL but,
for now, its use is deprecated.
* Renamed URL.parent to URL.parentdir. URL.parent() was logically equivalent
to '..' and so removed more segments than expected. URL.parent's use is now
deprecated and in a future release will be changed to remove exactly one
segment.
* Improve URL.click to normalise any segments of '.' or '..'. Browsers
normalise the URL so, according to the docstring, click should too.
2004-12-04 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Added macros! This is the same patch as the one I attached to my
"Macros in Nevow" mail, with the addition of an IMacroFactory,
a MacroFactory implementation on rend.Page, and macro directive
support. Macros are like render functions that take only the
context (no data parameter) and run only once during the lifetime
of a template loader. Here is an example of the difference between
a macro and a renderer:
>>> class Bumper(object):
... num = 0
... def bump(self):
... self.num += 1
... return self.num
...
>>> staysTheSame = Bumper()
>>> changes = Bumper()
>>> from nevow import flat, tags, loaders
>>> document = loaders.stan([tags.invisible(macro=lambda ctx: staysTheSame.bump()), tags.invisible(render=lambda ctx, data: changes.bump())])
>>> flat.flatten(document)
'11'
>>> flat.flatten(document)
'12'
>>> flat.flatten(document)
'13'
2004-12-01 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Added __iter__ to nevow.stan.slot to prevent infinite loops by
trying to do "for x in slot('foo'): print x".
* Added an IGettable adapter for nevow.stan.slot. It is now possible
to specify a slot as the data for a node, so the following example
would work:
from nevow import rend, tags
def fillEm(ctx, data):
ctx.fillSlots('value', [1, 2])
return ctx.tag
tags.html(render=fillEm)[
tags.ul(data=tags.slot('value'), render=rend.sequence)[
tags.li(pattern='item')[
str ]]]
2004-09-26 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Added nevow.inevow.IQ interface, an interface for querying the
stan DOM. Eventually, this interface will contain APIs for doing
traditional DOM introspection, such as iterating children,
examining tag names, and examining attributes. For now, it contains
only the patternGenerator, onePattern, and allPatterns APIs. These
APIs have been deprecated from Context.
The main benefit of this is the ability to do:
IQ(loaders.xmlfile(...)).patternGenerator(...)
which would be nice for creating "pattern library" files containing
common skin idioms which can then be copied and used throughout
the app.
2004-09-25 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Chatola received a major facelift, bringing it from cool demo
up to almost a full fledged web-based chat server. The helper API
LiveEvil.call(...) was added, which deprecates
LiveEvil.sendScript(callJS(...))
2004-09-23 Tommi Virtanen <tv@twistedmatrix.com>
* Make guard.SessionWrapper store its URL location in all requests it
passes to its children. This allows the children know where to post
the __login__ and __logout__ forms, even deep inside the resource
tree (fixes issue59).
* Guard now works as a non-root resource, with help from the above
change. Semantics of __login__ clarified in unit tests; if your guard
is at /foo, posting to /foo/__login__ redirects to /foo, and posting
to /foo/__login__/ redirects to /foo/. The two unit tests that failed
earlier now pass (with that change in their __login__ URLs).
* If URL-based sessions are used, login no longer loses session
information due to redirect to / (fixes issue56).
2004-09-20 Matt Goodall <matt@pollenation.net>
* Added URL.secure() method to make switching between http and
https easier.
2004-09-08 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Nevow now includes a very simple proof-of-concept WSGI Application
implementation, and can be used with no Twisted dependency. Nevow can
also be used to write CGIs, either using a simple CGI WSGI gateway
(which supports URL traversal), or by using Page.renderString (which does not).
* Two new context interfaces, ICurrentSegments and IRemainingSegments,
replace the need to examine the Request prepath and postpath attributes
directly.
* ISerializable is deprecated, and has been replaced with a simple
Flattener registry. nevow.flat.registerFlattener and
nevow.flat.getFlattener have been added to support this.
2004-09-06 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Page.configurable_ *always* returns
self, and a new Page.configurable_original *always* returns
self.original. If you were relying on Page.configurable_'s
introspection behavior and are now getting errors about adapting
to IConfigurable, change your renderForms() calls to:
renderForms('original')
This causes Page.configurable_original to be invoked and
introspected for form rendering.
2004-08-23 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* LivePage uses a simpler implementation strategy which requires
the browser to make one request per output event. As a result,
LivePage now works on Mozilla, Safari, and Internet Explorer Windows.
2004-08-05 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Implemented support for IFoo(ctx) synonym syntax. It does the
same thing as ctx.locate(IFoo)
* Removed Resource Generators, a feature of NevowSite that nobody
used and wasn't really useful.
* Changed all inevow.IResource apis to take a Context object
where they used to take the request. Remembering objects in
PageContexts is now much easier, and fewer hacks are required to
build the context chain. The context chain now looks like:
SiteContext->RequestContext->PageContext(s)->WovenContext(s)
2004-7-28 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Parameterize data_* methods in the same way as render_* methods.
Patch by k3mper.
For example, <div nevow:data="foo bar,baz" /> will cause
data_foo(self, bar, baz) to be called with the strings "bar" and
"baz". This data method should return a callable taking ctx, data.
The return value of this callable will be remembered as IData at
this point in the context stack.
* Added list-slicing support to ListContainer. You may now use
list slicing syntax in a data directive in addition to a simple
index. For example:
def data_aList(self, ctx, data):
return ["Buckle", "My", "Shoe"]
<div nevow:data="aList">
<span nevow:data="1:-1" nevow:render="string" />
</div>
Will render as <div><span>My</span></div>
2004-7-20 Matt Goodall <matt@pollenation.net>
* Modified sax loader to retain doctypes, comments and xmlns attributes.
It's now possible to build XHTML valid pages :).
xmlns attributes are always kept but there are options to ignore the doctype
and comment (at the request of foom, not sure why yet). Right now, the default
is to retain doctypes and comments but you can use the ignoreDocType and
ignoreComment args to the xml loaders and flatsax parse functions. This bit
may change.
* Add a URL -> IResource adapter that performs a HTTP redirect. URLs can then
be returned from locateChild().
2004-06-07 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Added nevow.canvas, an experimental module similar to LivePage
which provides a Python server-side API for drawing arbitrary lines,
curves, and text in the browser. The implementation is socket-based
and asynchronous, so the server can issue drawing commands to the
client at any time.
The idea is to provide a server-side API to the Python programmer
and shield them from implementation details, but the current
implementation uses a pre-compiled Flash movie (which never changes;
we are not generating Flash bytecodes). An implementation using SVG
or Safari's Canvas (nevow.canvas was written before the Safari Canvas
announcement) would be possible.
2004-05-26 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Add URLOverlay.keep, an API which lets you specify which query args
will be carried on from the current page render into the new URL.
2004-05-24 Matt Goodall <matt@pollenation.net>
* Extracted Fragment from Page. Hopefully, it will make it more obvious
that embedding an object with data_ and render_ methods in a stan tree is
possible without using something as "heavy" as Page which is really meant
to be a web resource.
2004-05-23 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Added some useful APIs to LiveEvil for manipulating the client-side
page:
- flt(stan): Flatten some stan, quoting apostrophes as
as appropriate for embedding in javascript
- set(what, to): Set the contents of the client-side node
with the id 'what' to the stan 'to'.
- append(where, what): Append the stan 'what' to the client-
side node with the id 'where'
- alert(what): Show an alert to the user with the text "what"
2004-05-19 Jonathan Simms <slyphon@divmod.com>
* 0.2 released.
2004-05-14 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* nevow.url.URLPath is renamed nevow.url.URL
* URL objects are now lazier about casting things to strings; they will
keep track of path segments in a list and defer to the nevow rendering
machinery to do the conversion; This means you can do things like
here.child(deferred) or here.child(function)
* URL objects have a better api for manipulating query arguments
- add(key, value=None) adds a new query arg at the end; the value may
be None if only a query key needs to be added
- replace(key, value) removes all occurrences of 'key' and inserts a
new (key, value) at the same location as the previous first
occurrence of key
- clear() clears all args
2004-05-06 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Merged freeform-patterned branch, a large formless/freeform refactor.
It is now possible to influence the rendering of forms by providing
"patterns" to renderForms.
* Formless is now a top-level package. Freeform has been renamed
formless.webform. It should be possible to use formless outside
the context of nevow for doing things such as validating network
input based on method argument type annotations.
* TypedInterface, autocallable, and all the Typed subclasses are now
in the formless.annotate module.
2004-04-30 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Created nevow.blocks, a module containing helpful code for working
around display: inline-block bugs in Mozilla.
2004-04-27 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* IRenderer.__call__ was renamed IRenderer.rend to be more explicit.
2004-04-21 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Implemented nevow.flat.flatten and nevow.flat.precompile, functions
useful for using stan outside of the context of Page classes. Useful
for generating some XML or even raw text; use it any time you want
to convert a tree data structure into a contiguous string!
import random
import string
from nevow import flat
def letters(howMany):
for i in range(howMany):
yield ' ', string.letters[i], '\n'
def outline():
for i in range(5):
yield i, '\n'
yield letters(random.choice(range(7)))
yield '\n'
print flat.flatten(outline())
2004-04-20 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* guard sessions are no longer required to use formless.
2004-04-19 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Implemented lazy context factories. It is now possible to register
an adapter against various *Context classes and an interface. They
will be invoked if *Context.locate(interface) is called.
Implemented a lazy ISession adapter against RequestContext, making
it possible to do ctx.locate(ISession), which is nice.
2004-04-16 Donovan Preston <dp@divmod.org>
* Added nevow.entities module, a module containing literals for all of
the valid XHTML entities. For example:
def render_nbsp(self, ctx, data):
from nevow import entities
return entities.nbsp
