- Make
grokwiki
example project work again.
- Add support for Python 3.13.
- Drop support for Python 3.7.
- Drop dependency on archived packages:
grokcore.xmlrpc
grokcore.rest
grokcore.json
grokui.admin
(only used in grokwiki example project)
- Fix GrokWiki example app.
- Fix installation documentation.
- Split
default.zcml
offconfigure.zcml
for easier exclude. - Split
dependencies.zcml
offconfigure.zcml
for easier reuse.
- Add support for Python 3.11, 3.12.
- Update import paths for lifecycle events.

- Fix DeprecationWarnings.
- Use zopefoundation/meta/config to harmonize package structure.
- Drop support for Python 3.4, add 3.7 + 3.8.
- Remove some backward compatibility imports.
- Expose
grok.ignore
to allow not grokking something in a module.
- Replace the use of
grok.implements()
with the@grok.implementer()
directive throughout.
- Python 3 compatibility.
- Advertise the LazyAnnotation and LazyAnnotationProperty.
- Update tests.
Note: There are a couple of changes that breaks backward compatibility with older versions.
- Advertise the
install_on
directive from grokcore.site. - Replace
ApplicationInitializedEvent
withApplicationAddedEvent
from grokcore.site. - Introduce a new event
DatabaseCreatedEvent
which is triggered only one time when the database is created. For existing application upgrade to this new version, an event will still be send at the time of the upgrade. - Replace
grok.util.create_application
with the one from grokcore.site.util. It is now importable directly from grok.
- Advertise the
ObjectEditedEvent
from grokcore.content.
- Add
grok.queryAnnotation()
andgrok.deleteAnnotation()
fromgrokcore.annotation
.
- Fixed application_url() calls to use keyword arguments where the API defines keyword arguments.
- Fix brown paper bag release where not all resources were included. Again.
- Fix brown paper bag release where not all resources were included.
- Update
grok.util.application_url()
to work correctly withgrokcore.view.util.url()
.
- Make sure the correct layout is retrieved for layout aware form components too.
- Import the grokcore.layout.layout directive into the grok namespace too.
- Update version requirements.
- Split off the Application component and the local_utility directive to grokcore.site. A backwards compatibility import for Application is left in place.
- Split off the catalog and indexing components from grok into grokcore.catalog.
- The permissions() directive, the Permission component and the Role component moved from grok to grokcore.security. The grok package imports these component, so they can still be accessed through the grok api.
- Added imports for querySubscriptions(), queryMultiSubscriptions(), queryOrderedSubscriptions() and queryOrderedMultiSubscriptions() functions that complement the Subscriptions and MultiSubscriptions components.
- Incorporate grokcore.chameleon and have it configured by default.
- Expose the Layout, Page, AddFormPage, EditFormPage, DisplayFormPage and FormPage components that are brought by grokcore.layout. The grok variants mixin application_url() and flash() functionality typically found in grok's viewish components.
- Expose the ExecptionPage, NotFoundPage and UnauthorizedPage component from grokcore.layout.
- Expose the ContentProvider component from grokcore.view
- Declare the name "index" as default view name for error views.
- Directly depend on zope.app.wsgi and configure it too to have the useful IResult adapters for (temporary) files registered.
- Import grokcore.component.global_adapter too.
- Fix tests that relied on older versions of zope.testbrowser.
- Added grok.index.Value component.
- Added import for Subscription and MultiSubscription components.
- Fix tests now that error views no longer by default provide ISystemErrorView.
- Should've listed IApplication as part of the grok API too.
- Grok should still provide IApplication in the grok API, even now that it got moved to grokcore.site.interfaces.
- Define error view baseclasses for IException, INotFound and IUnauthorized errors: grok.ExceptionView, grok.NotFoundView, grok.UnauthorizedView. Lifts the indirect dependency on zope.app.http and zope.app.exception.
- Moved the XMLRPC, REST component into separate packages grokcore.xmlrpc and grokcore.rest. Consequently the custom traverse components that Grok defined were moved to grokcore.traverser. Grok the-python-package acts more and more like an import-hub.
- To build the docs we now use collective.recipe.sphinxbuilder
instead of our own, early hack (get rid of grokdocs
subpackage). Buildout now generates
grokdocs2html
andgrokdocs2pdf
which should do what you think they do. - The IApplication interface, and getApplication() moved to
grokcore.site
.
- The IGrokSecurityView interface has been to
grokcore.view
. - The make_checker util function has been moved to
grokcore.view
. - The base publisher has been moved to
grokcore.view
as an optional feature : security_publication. - The JSON component and grokker are now moved to
grokcore.json
. Grok now depends on this new grokore package. - Update to latest martian and grokcore.component.
- Grok tutorial example projects updated.
- Documentation updates in preparation for the Grok Toolkit 1.2 release.
- Use zc.buildout-1.5.2.
- No changes were necessary.
- Grok and the Grok Toolkit now use zc.buildout-1.5.1 that should simplify
Grok's installation story significantly. It is now possible to use a system
Python installation for installing Grok. This obsoletes the
virtualenv
requirement. - Grok and the Grok Toolkit will use the ZTK-1.0 release. Note though that several package versions are overridden to include bugfix releases.
- Various dependencies have been updated.
- Removed z3c.testsetup-specific test collector from grok.testing. You can
still use z3c.testsetup with grok, but have to declare the dependency in your
project's
setup.py
explicitly. - The grok.View component now uses the grokcore.message package for its flash method.
- Grok test zcml now explicitly sets a defaultView name (to index.html). This has been added since we no longer depend on packages such as zope.app.zcmlfiles, that used to take care of that configuration step.
- Internationalization of title and description of roles are not lost anymore.
- create_application now raises a KeyError, in cases of key duplication,
to match the
zope.container
behavior. Tests have been adapted accordingly. - Added KeyError error handling to the existing DuplicationError, to fit
the
zope.container
changes. Tests have been adapted accordingly.
- Make use of the groktoolkit 1.1.1 that includes several bugfix releases
of Grok's dependencies such as:
- zope.password, where the SSHAPasswordManager was fixed.
- zope.publisher, that fixes the long standing XML-RPC "hanging" bug.
- Cleanups in the buildout parts.
- Remove zope.app.twisted.
- Add zope.pluggablauth as a dependency.
- Now using grokcore.content for the base content types : Model, Container and OrderedContainer.
- Lifted the dependency on zope.app.authentication and depend on zope.password instead.
- Lifted dependencies on deprecate packages zope.app.error and zope.app.securitypolicy and zope.app.session.
Beside these changes lot of work has been undertaken to remove as much dependencies on "older" zope.app.* packages as possible from Grok itself and from the dependencies of Grok. This work is not complete yet.
- Updated z3c.recipe.compattest's version and used it for a bin/compattest that tests grok and all its dependencies.
- Add grok.getApplication() that, similar to grok.getSite() retrieves the "nearest" enclosing grok.Application object.
- Use zope.container instead of zope.app.container.
- Use zope.catalog instead of zope.app.catalog.
- Use zope.intid instead of zope.app.intid.
- Use zope.keyreference instead of zope.app.keyreference.
- This release depends on grokcore.view 1.13a1.
- Add ZTK support (currently ZTK 1.0dev).
- Grokdocs now uses ZTK pinned versions.
- The
grok.permissions()
, that is used in thegrok.Role
component now accepts references togrok.Permission
class, not just permission ids. This behaviour is now symetrical to thegrok.require()
directive. - Added an util function,
create_application
, to create an application and trigger the correct events during the process. - Grok now provides an application-centric event to complete the
zope.lifecycle ones. This event,
ApplicationInitializedEvent
, is destined to be trigged after the application has been added to a container. At this particular step, the application is considered safe for additional content to be created. - Use grokcore.site and grokcore.annotation instead of builtins implementations.
- Update the reference to mention
zope.View
. - Update the reference to mention direct references to permissions in
grok.require
andgrok.permissions
ingrok.Role
. - Fix documentation bug where virtualenv wasn't explained correctly.
- Remove the
grok.View
permission declaration inetc/site.zcml.in
, should have gone in 1.0b2 already
Removed IReRaiseException adapter registration for IUnauthorized again in favor of using grokcore.startup's configurable``debug_application_factory`` WSGI application factory function.
Use newer versions of simplejson and pytz.
See: upgrade_notes_1.0b2 for special notes on upgrading to this release.
Revert back to an older version of
grokui.admin
that has not seen any changes related to thegrok.View
permission and theView
/CodeView
split and still has the introspector that is removed from newer versions.grokcore.view
,grokcore.viewlet
andgrokcore.formlib
and Grok itself have been updated to undo theView
/CodeView
split that we had temporarily introduced in the development versions after Grok 1.0a4. This means the behavior ofgrok.View
is unchanged from Grok 1.0a4. Nothing to see here!Changed the default permission to
zope.View
instead ofzope.Public
. This means a modification needs to be made to yoursite.zcml
if you're upgrading an existing Grok-based project. See the upgrade notes for more information.Bump used zope.app.wsgi version (now: 3.4.2) to support product-configs in zope.conf files with paster. Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/220440
Default location for Data.fs and logfiles of grok's sample application is now
var/filestorage/
andvar/log/
instead ofparts/data/
andparts/log/
.Bump used z3c.testsetup version (now: 0.4). Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/395125
Bump used ZODB3 version (now: 3.8.3). Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/410703 https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/424335
Added zope.publisher.interfaces.IReRaiseException adapter for IUnauthorized exceptions. Closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/332061
Removed docutils and Pygment from versions.cfg. Both are pinned in grokdocs subpackage. Closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/340170
Corrected Content-type; JSON views now report 'application/json'.
updated zope.publisher dependency to 3.4.8 (fix paster.httpserver related bugs in XMLRPC, PUT)
switched buildout to paster based template (like grokproject default) https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/307197
changed interpreter name from 'python' to 'grokpy'.
Restructured the upgrade and change documentation so that they now get generated into separate files by Sphinx
- This release happened but never really was fully completed. See the release notes for 1.0b2 instead.
- Pin grokcore.view to 1.7.
- Import zope.app.container interfaces from their actual definition not from a re-import.
- JSON views now report a Content-type: text/json. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362902
- Pin grokui.admin to 0.3.2
- Pin grokcore.view to 1.5.
- Pin grokcore.component to 1.6.
- Documentation and doc string updates.
- Pin grokui.admin to 0.3.
- Pin grokcore.view to 1.4.
- Synced versions.cfg with the latest KGS release available at: http://download.zope.org/zope3.4/3.4.0/versions.cfg
- Expose
IBeforeTraverseEvent
for import in thegrok
namespace.
See: upgrade_notes_1.0a1 for special notes on upgrading to this release.
- Introduced
grok.interfaces.IGrokSecurityView
, a marker interface which non-Grok views can use to state that they want to be handled like regular Grok views by the Grok publisher. - Expose the
DirectoryResource
component from grokcore.view and the accompanyingpath
directive. - Similar to the layers and skins restructuring, the
grok.RESTProtocol
baseclass has been removed in favour of agrok.restskin(name)
directive that can be used on REST layer interfaces. Introduced the IRESTLayer base interfaces for defining REST layers. - Besides our extensive existing documentation, we have also started to add a lot of docstrings to the Grok source code so it becomes easier to understand.
- Have GrokForm define an empty actions attribute by default, in order for "action-less" forms to work easily.
- Allow the grok.layer() directive on JSON components. Closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/310558
- Close a bad security hole (also fixed in 0.14.1 and other releases). See http://grok.zope.org/blog/security-issue-in-grok-please-upgrade
- Viewlet-related base classes and helpers have been moved out to a
grokcore.viewlet
package which Grok now depends on.
See: upgrade_notes_0.14 for special notes on upgrading to this release.
- Grok now officially supports Python 2.5 and still supports Python 2.4.
- Merged the versions from the zope 3.4c7 KGS (known good set): http://download.zope.org/zope3.4/versions-3.4.0c7.cfg So we are now using the latest Zope 3 releases for all Zope packages.
- The
grok.admin
subpackage has been factored out to a separate packagegrokui.admin
. To have the Grok admin UI available in your environment, addgrokui.admin
to the required packages in thesetup.py
of your package. - Removed
grok.Skin
baseclass in favour of agrok.skin(name)
directive that can be used on layer interfaces. Also removed theIGrokLayer
interface in favour of exposingIBrowserRequest
from the grok package. - Security-related directives and helpers have been moved out to a
grokcore.security
package. - View-related base classes, directives and grokkers have been moved
out to a
grokcore.view
package. - Form-related base classes and helpers have been moved out to a
grokcore.formlib
package.
Replace zope.deprecation.tests.warn with grok.testing.warn to:
- Make the signature identical to warnings.warn
- To check for *.pyc and *.pyo files.
When zope.deprecation is fixed this warn() function can be removed again. Makes all the tests pass under Python-2.5.
See: upgrade_notes_0.13 for special notes on upgrading to this release.
- The basic component base classes (
Adapter
,MultiAdapter
,GlobalUtility
), their grokkers, as well as many of the basic directives have been factored out to a reusablegrokcore.component
package. - Ported directives to Martian's new directive implementation. As a
result, many helper functions that were available from
grok.util
were removed. The functionality is mostly available from the directives themselves now. - Refactored class grokkers to make use of Martian's new declarative way for retrieving directive data from classes, and Martian's new declarative way to write grokkers. See upgrade_notes_0.13 for more information.
GrokTemplate
sets up the namespaces for the template by callingdefault_namespace() ``on the view component the template is associated with. As a result, ``ViewletManagers
andViewlet
can now push in theviewletmanager
andviewlet
namespaces into the template.Updated tutorial section about grokproject to fit the latest changes.
Added
grok.traversable
directive for easy traversal to attributes and methods.grok.require()
can refer to subclasses ofgrok.Permission
directly, instead of their id. This, for one, avoids making typos in permission ids. Permission components do still need the grok.name() directive for defining the permission's id.Added an optional parameter
data
to the methodurl()
that accepts a dictionary that is then converted to a query string. Seehttp://grok.zope.org/documentation/how-to/generate-urls-with-the-url-function-in-views/view
Added an
OrderedContainer
component.Introduced the new sphinx-based documentation engine. See grokdocs/README.txt for details.
Merged the versions from the 3.4 KGS (known good set): http://download.zope.org/zope3.4/versions-3.4.0c1.cfg
We are now using the latest Zope 3 releases for all Zope packages. See upgrade_notes_0.13 for more information.
Added support for easier test setup based on
z3c.testsetup
. This is a more stable and more powerful implementation ofgrok.testing.register_all_tests()
. Seehttp://grok.zope.org/documentation/how-to/tests-with-grok-testing
for details.
There is now a new
IContext
interface available. If you make your class implement that interface, it (and its subclasses) will be candidates for being a context in a module (for automatic context lookup ifgrok.context
is not present). This relies on a feature introduced ingrokcore.component
1.1.grok.Model
implementsgrok.interfaces.IContext
now (which is imported fromgrokcore.component
).grok.Container
now implementsgrok.interfaces.IContainer
. Traversers and default views have been set up for these interfaces, so that new implementations that function as a model or container can be easily created. Just usegrok.implements(IContainer)
orgrok.implements(IContext)
. This is useful for Grok extensions that want to implement new content classes.
- Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/226555: the
url()
method onViewletManager
andViewlet
has been removed now that there's easy access to the view component the viewlet(manager) is registered for. - Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/231106: Use the viewletmanager.sort() method for sorting viewlets by using util.sort_components().
- grok.REST views now have a properly set
__parent__
attribute and will correctly allow acquisition from parent objects, as it's used by the security policy for acquiring local grants, for example. - Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/229677: zope.app.securitypolicy egg missing. Now zope.app.securitypolicy 3.4.6 is additionally required by Grok and fetched by buildout.
- Removed first testsetup hack from grok.testing.
- Version 2.1 of z3c.autoinclude contained code that caused Grok to fail to start on some platforms if the system-supplied Python was used (at least on some versions of Ubuntu and Debian). Now include version 2.2 of z3c.autoinclude which should fix this problem. This fix was also made on Grok 0.12 in its online versions list after release.
- Port fix of zope.formlib to correctly adapt the context to a FormField's interface, not the field.
See: upgrade_notes_0.12 for special notes on upgrading to this release.
The new release needs new version of grokproject, please do:
$ easy_install -U grokproject
Added testsetup classes in grok.testing to improve easy setup of unit- and functional tests.
Add support for viewlets and viewlet managers,
grok.Viewlet
andgrok.ViewletManager
.Add a new directive,
grok.order()
, which can be used to help sort components. At the time it is not used yet, but we intend to use it for the viewlets support. Note that this means Grok now requires Martian 0.9.3 or higher. Seegrok.interfaces
for more documentation on this directive.Now depend on
z3c.autoinclude
. This allows the use of the<includeDependencies package="."/>
directive, which automatically loads up ZCML needed for the dependencies listed in your project'ssetup.py
. The new release of grokproject adds this line automatically. Upgradegrokproject
to make use of this functionality in new projects:$ easy_install -U grokproject
Classes that end with "-Base" are no longer implicitly considered base classes. These classes need to have the grok.baseclass() directive added to them explicitly.
See upgrade_notes_0.12 for more information.
- Do not register the publishTraverse and browserDefault methods of the JSON component as views.
- Methods with names that start with an '_' are not registered as views for XMLRPC, REST and JSON components.
- Use a configuration action for the registration of the static directory.
- Fix imports from zope.app.securitypolicy.
- Grok does not raise a GrokError anymore when it finds unassociated templates, but will issue a UserWarning.
- Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/161948: grok.testing.grok() now also loads the ZPT template factories so that unit tests that need to configure views with ZPT templates continue to work.
- Changed a few remaining references to
grok.grok
andgrok.grok_component
to their correct equivalents ingrok.testing
. grok.testing.grok_component()
could not be used in a pure doctest. This needed a bugfix in Martian (since 0.9.2). Add a test that demonstrates this problem.- Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/162437: grok.Form and its subclasses did not implement IBrowserView.
- Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/185414: grok introspector was broken for zipped eggs.
- Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/125720: server control form had shutdown as default action, even when entering an admin message.
- Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/80403: Fix situation where a module name is identical to the package name. At least modules with templates can now have same name as their package.
- Multiple skins and REST protocols could be registered under the same name, but this is actually a conflict. Now give configuration conflict error when someone tries this.
- Overriding traversal behavior using the
traverse()
method orgrok.Traverser
failed in the face of (REST)PUT
andDELETE
. XML-RPC also failed when custom traversal was in use. - Fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/grok/+bug/187590 where config action discriminators for permission and role registrations were incorrect.
- Permission definitions received the wrong, too high, configure action priority (not to be confused with grokker priority). In some cases this caused permissions to be defined later than they were used. Use a low action priority instead for permissions.
- Refactor commonalities out of meta.py.
- zope.app.securitypolicy is no longer used. zope.securitypolicy provides all securitypolicy features used by Grok.
See: upgrade_notes_0.11 for special notes on upgrading to this release.
- Integrated skins and layers:
grok.layer
,grok.IGrokLayer
,grok.Skin
. - Grok now supports hooking in new template languages without much work. See also doc/minitutorials/template-languages.txt. See Restructuring below for more techinical info.
- Accessing a template macro via context/@@the_view/the_template is now deprecated for the standard ZPT story of using context/@@the_view/macro/the_template.
- There is now a grok.direct() directive that can be used on GlobalUtilities to mark that the class provides the utility interface directly and need no instantiation.
- Removed
grok.define_permission
in favor of thegrok.Permission
component base class. You should now subclass this base class to define permissions. See also doc/minitutorials/permissions.txt - Added the
grok.Role
component base class to define roles. - The admin UI now displays and offers deletion of broken objects.
- Removed support for defining model schemas using an inner class with
the special name
fields
. This was abandoned in favor the usual Zope 3 way of defining schemas in interfaces and implementing them in our Grok models. - Integrated REST support. See doc/minitutorials/rest.txt for usage information.
- Remove zc.recipe.egg, zc.recipe.filestorage, zc.recipe.testrunner, zc.zope3recipes from version requirements.
- The admin UI now shows interfaces in modules.
handle...
is not a special function name anymore.- Views no longer need a custom
AbsoluteURL
view to determine their URL, since each instance now properly gets a__name__
attribute. - buildout.cfg extends versions.cfg to pin down the versions of the dependency tree. See also http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/readme.html
- Grokkers now emit configuration actions, much like ZCML directive handlers do. If you defined custom grokkers, see upgrade_notes_0.11 for more information.
- The new pluggable template language support includes some restructuring:
- GrokPageTemplate is now split up into two. BaseTemplate, on which all templates need to be based, and GrokTemplate, which also provides a set of methods for easy integration of templating languages.
- All objects based on GrokTemplate are now grokked, instead of having separate grokkers for each type of template.
- The View is now completely template-language agnostic, which makes it easy to hook in new page template languages.
- There are now new interfaces (ITemplate and ITemplateFileFactory) used when you implement support for a new templating language.
- Changed the way grok's functional tests are set up. Instead of each test case doing its own test setup, it is now done once by the ftesting layer. This avoids ordering problems when some ftests would influence the environment of other ftests that were run later in time.
- Remove zc.recipe.egg, zc.recipe.filestorage, zc.recipe.testrunner, zc.zope3recipes from version requirements.
- Require zope.app.error = 3.5.1
buildout.cfg extends versions.cfg to pin down the versions of the dependency tree. This should avoid the situation where we release Grok, some dependency changes, and Grok breaks as a result. In conjunction with this we will also be releasing a new version of grokproject that will use this version infrastructure by default.
For more information about this change, see: http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/readme.html
- Integrated admin user interface.
- Configuration using Martian (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/martian).
- Flash message infrastructure included.
- Adjust dependencies for Grok so that grokproject should work on Windows.
- A fix in Martian where multiple grok.Model or grok.Container classes could result in something being found as a context twice.
Grok was released in "continuous release" mode from SVN during this period.
Grok was created in September 2006.
