+1.3
+===
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.3.0
+ :released: Wed Nov 8 2023
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: change, installation
+
+ Mako 1.3.0 bumps the minimum Python version to 3.8, as 3.7 is EOL as of
+ 2023-06-27. Python 3.12 is now supported explicitly.
+
+1.2
+===
+
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.2.4
+ :released: Tue Nov 15 2022
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, codegen
+ :tickets: 368
+
+ Fixed issue where unpacking nested tuples in a for loop using would raise a
+ "couldn't apply loop context" error if the loop context was used. The regex
+ used to match the for loop expression now allows the list of loop variables
+ to contain parenthesized sub-tuples. Pull request courtesy Matt Trescott.
+
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.2.3
+ :released: Thu Sep 22 2022
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, lexer
+ :tickets: 367
+
+ Fixed issue in lexer in the same category as that of :ticket:`366` where
+ the regexp used to match an end tag didn't correctly organize for matching
+ characters surrounded by whitespace, leading to high memory / interpreter
+ hang if a closing tag incorrectly had a large amount of unterminated space
+ in it. Credit to Sebastian Chnelik for locating the issue.
+
+ As Mako templates inherently render and directly invoke arbitrary Python
+ code from the template source, it is **never** appropriate to create
+ templates that contain untrusted input.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.2.2
+ :released: Mon Aug 29 2022
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, lexer
+ :tickets: 366
+
+ Fixed issue in lexer where the regexp used to match tags would not
+ correctly interpret quoted sections individually. While this parsing issue
+ still produced the same expected tag structure later on, the mis-handling
+ of quoted sections was also subject to a regexp crash if a tag had a large
+ number of quotes within its quoted sections. Credit to Sebastian
+ Chnelik for locating the issue.
+
+ As Mako templates inherently render and directly invoke arbitrary Python
+ code from the template source, it is **never** appropriate to create
+ templates that contain untrusted input.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.2.1
+ :released: Thu Jun 30 2022
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: performance
+ :tickets: 361
+
+ Optimized some codepaths within the lexer/Python code generation process,
+ improving performance for generation of templates prior to their being
+ cached. Pull request courtesy Takuto Ikuta.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, tests
+ :tickets: 360
+
+ Various fixes to the test suite in the area of exception message rendering
+ to accommodate for variability in Python versions as well as Pygments.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.2.0
+ :released: Thu Mar 10 2022
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: changed, py3k
+ :tickets: 351
+
+ Corrected "universal wheel" directive in ``setup.cfg`` so that building a
+ wheel does not target Python 2.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: changed, py3k
+
+ The ``bytestring_passthrough`` template argument is removed, as this
+ flag only applied to Python 2.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: changed, py3k
+
+ With the removal of Python 2's ``cStringIO``, Mako now uses its own
+ internal ``FastEncodingBuffer`` exclusively.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: changed, py3k
+
+ Removed ``disable_unicode`` flag, that's no longer used in Python 3.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: changed
+ :tickets: 349
+
+ Refactored test utilities into ``mako.testing`` module. Removed
+ ``unittest.TestCase`` dependency in favor of ``pytest``.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: changed, setup
+
+ Replaced the use of ``pkg_resources`` with the ``importlib`` library.
+ For Python < 3.8 the library ``importlib_metadata`` is used.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: changed, py3k
+
+ Removed support for Python 2 and Python 3.6. Mako now requires Python >=
+ 3.7.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py3k
+
+ Mako now performs exception chaining using ``raise from``, correctly
+ identifying underlying exception conditions when it raises its own
+ exceptions. Pull request courtesy Ram Rachum.
+
+1.1
+===
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.1.6
+ :released: Wed Nov 17 2021
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, lexer
+ :tickets: 346
+ :versions: 1.2.0, 1.1.6
+
+ Fixed issue where control statements on multi lines with a backslash would
+ not parse correctly if the template itself contained CR/LF pairs as on
+ Windows. Pull request courtesy Charles Pigott.
+
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.1.5
+ :released: Fri Aug 20 2021
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, tests
+ :tickets: 338
+
+ Fixed some issues with running the test suite which would be revealed by
+ running tests in random order.
+
+
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.1.4
+ :released: Thu Jan 14 2021
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py3k
+ :tickets: 328
+
+ Fixed Python deprecation issues related to module importing, as well as
+ file access within the Lingua plugin, for deprecated APIs that began to
+ emit warnings under Python 3.10. Pull request courtesy Petr Viktorin.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.1.3
+ :released: Fri May 29 2020
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, templates
+ :tickets: 267
+
+ The default template encoding is now utf-8. Previously, the encoding was
+ "ascii", which was standard throughout Python 2. This allows that
+ "magic encoding comment" for utf-8 templates is no longer required.
+
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.1.2
+ :released: Sun Mar 1 2020
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature, commands
+ :tickets: 283
+
+ Added --output-file argument to the Mako command line runner, which allows
+ a specific output file to be selected. Pull request courtesy Björn
+ Dahlgren.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.1.1
+ :released: Mon Jan 20 2020
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py3k
+ :tickets: 310
+
+ Replaced usage of the long-superseded "parser.suite" module in the
+ mako.util package for parsing the python magic encoding comment with the
+ "ast.parse" function introduced many years ago in Python 2.5, as
+ "parser.suite" is emitting deprecation warnings in Python 3.9.
+
+
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, ext
+ :tickets: 304
+
+ Added "babel" and "lingua" dependency entries to the setuptools entrypoints
+ for the babel and lingua extensions, so that pkg_resources can check that
+ these extra dependencies are available, raising an informative
+ exception if not. Pull request courtesy sinoroc.
+
+
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.1.0
+ :released: Thu Aug 1 2019
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py3k, windows
+ :tickets: 301
+
+ Replaced usage of time.clock() on windows as well as time.time() elsewhere
+ for microsecond timestamps with timeit.default_timer(), as time.clock() is
+ being removed in Python 3.8. Pull request courtesy Christoph Reiter.
+
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py3k
+ :tickets: 295
+
+ Replaced usage of ``inspect.getfullargspec()`` with the vendored version
+ used by SQLAlchemy, Alembic to avoid future deprecation warnings. Also
+ cleans up an additional version of the same function that's apparently
+ been floating around for some time.
+
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: changed, setup
+ :tickets: 303
+
+ Removed the "python setup.py test" feature in favor of a straight run of
+ "tox". Per Pypa / pytest developers, "setup.py" commands are in general
+ headed towards deprecation in favor of tox. The tox.ini script has been
+ updated such that running "tox" with no arguments will perform a single run
+ of the test suite against the default installed Python interpreter.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1684
+
+ https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/5534
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: changed, py3k, installer
+ :tickets: 249
+
+ Mako 1.1 now supports Python versions:
+
+ * 2.7
+ * 3.4 and higher
+
+ This includes that setup.py no longer includes any conditionals, allowing
+ for a pure Python wheel build, however this is not necessarily part of the
+ Pypi release process as of yet. The test suite also raises for Python
+ deprecation warnings.
+
+
+1.0
+===
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.14
+ :released: Sat Jul 20 2019
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature, template
+
+ The ``n`` filter is now supported in the ``<%page>`` tag. This allows a
+ template to omit the default expression filters throughout a whole
+ template, for those cases where a template-wide filter needs to have
+ default filtering disabled. Pull request courtesy Martin von Gagern.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`expression_filtering_nfilter`
+
+
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, exceptions
+
+ Fixed issue where the correct file URI would not be shown in the
+ template-formatted exception traceback if the template filename were not
+ known. Additionally fixes an issue where stale filenames would be
+ displayed if a stack trace alternated between different templates. Pull
+ request courtesy Martin von Gagern.
+
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.13
+ :released: Mon Jul 1 2019
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, exceptions
+
+ Improved the line-number tracking for source lines inside of Python ``<%
+ ... %>`` blocks, such that text- and HTML-formatted exception traces such
+ as that of :func:`.html_error_template` now report the correct source line
+ inside the block, rather than the first line of the block itself.
+ Exceptions in ``<%! ... %>`` blocks which get raised while loading the
+ module are still not reported correctly, as these are handled before the
+ Mako code is generated. Pull request courtesy Martin von Gagern.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.12
+ :released: Wed Jun 5 2019
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py3k
+ :tickets: 296
+
+ Fixed regression where import refactors in Mako 1.0.11 caused broken
+ imports on Python 3.8.
+
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.11
+ :released: Fri May 31 2019
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: changed
+
+ Updated for additional project metadata in setup.py. Additionally,
+ the code has been reformatted using Black and zimports.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.10
+ :released: Fri May 10 2019
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py3k
+ :tickets: 293
+
+ Added a default encoding of "utf-8" when the :class:`.RichTraceback`
+ object retrieves Python source lines from a Python traceback; as these
+ are bytes in Python 3 they need to be decoded so that they can be
+ formatted in the template.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.9
+ :released: Mon Apr 15 2019
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets: 287
+
+ Further corrected the previous fix for :ticket:`287` as it relied upon
+ an attribute that is monkeypatched by Python's ``ast`` module for some
+ reason, which fails if ``ast`` hasn't been imported; the correct
+ attribute ``Constant.value`` is now used. Also note the issue
+ was mis-numbered in the previous changelog note.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.8
+ :released: Wed Mar 20 2019
+ :released: Wed Mar 20 2019
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets: 287
+
+ Fixed an element in the AST Python generator which changed
+ for Python 3.8, causing expression generation to fail.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature
+ :tickets: 271
+
+ Added ``--output-encoding`` flag to the mako-render script.
+ Pull request courtesy lacsaP.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+
+ Removed unnecessary "usage" prefix from mako-render script.
+ Pull request courtesy Hugo.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.7
+ :released: Thu Jul 13 2017
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+
+ Changed the "print" in the mako-render command to
+ sys.stdout.write(), avoiding the extra newline at the end
+ of the template output. Pull request courtesy
+ Yves Chevallier.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.6
+ :released: Wed Nov 9 2016
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature
+
+ Added new parameter :paramref:`.Template.include_error_handler` .
+ This works like :paramref:`.Template.error_handler` but indicates the
+ handler should take place when this template is included within another
+ template via the ``<%include>`` tag. Pull request courtesy
+ Huayi Zhang.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.5
+ :released: Wed Nov 2 2016
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+
+ Updated the Sphinx documentation builder to work with recent
+ versions of Sphinx.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.4
+ :released: Thu Mar 10 2016
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature, test
+
+ The default test runner is now py.test. Running "python setup.py test"
+ will make use of py.test instead of nose. nose still works as a test
+ runner as well, however.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, lexer
+ :pullreq: github:19
+
+ Major improvements to lexing of intricate Python sections which may
+ contain complex backslash sequences, as well as support for the bitwise
+ operator (e.g. pipe symbol) inside of expression sections distinct
+ from the Mako "filter" operator, provided the operator is enclosed
+ within parentheses or brackets. Pull request courtesy Daniel Martin.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature
+
+ Added new method :meth:`.Template.list_defs`. Pull request courtesy
+ Jonathan Vanasco.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.3
+ :released: Tue Oct 27 2015
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, babel
+
+ Fixed an issue where the Babel plugin would not handle a translation
+ symbol that contained non-ascii characters. Pull request courtesy
+ Roman Imankulov.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.2
+ :released: Wed Aug 26 2015
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, installation
+ :tickets: 249
+
+ The "universal wheel" marker is removed from setup.cfg, because
+ our setup.py currently makes use of conditional dependencies.
+ In :ticket:`249`, the discussion is ongoing on how to correct our
+ setup.cfg / setup.py fully so that we can handle the per-version
+ dependency changes while still maintaining optimal wheel settings,
+ so this issue is not yet fully resolved.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py3k
+ :tickets: 250
+
+ Repair some calls within the ast module that no longer work on Python3.5;
+ additionally replace the use of ``inspect.getargspec()`` under
+ Python 3 (seems to be called from the TG plugin) to avoid deprecation
+ warnings.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+
+ Update the Lingua translation extraction plugin to correctly
+ handle templates mixing Python control statements (such as if,
+ for and while) with template fragments. Pull request courtesy
+ Laurent Daverio.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature
+ :tickets: 236
+
+ Added ``STOP_RENDERING`` keyword for returning/exiting from a
+ template early, which is a synonym for an empty string ``""``.
+ Previously, the docs suggested a bare
+ ``return``, but this could cause ``None`` to appear in the
+ rendered template result.
+
+ .. seealso::
+
+ :ref:`syntax_exiting_early`
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.1
+ :released: Thu Jan 22 2015
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature
+
+ Added support for Lingua, a translation extraction system as an
+ alternative to Babel. Pull request courtesy Wichert Akkerman.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py3k
+
+ Modernized the examples/wsgi/run_wsgi.py file for Py3k.
+ Pull requset courtesy Cody Taylor.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 1.0.0
+ :released: Sun Jun 8 2014
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py2k
+
+ Improved the error re-raise operation when a custom
+ :paramref:`.Template.error_handler` is used that does not handle
+ the exception; the original stack trace etc. is now preserved.
+ Pull request courtesy Manfred Haltner.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py2k, filters
+
+ Added an html_escape filter that works in "non unicode" mode.
+ Previously, when using ``disable_unicode=True``, the ``u`` filter
+ would fail to handle non-ASCII bytes properly. Pull request
+ courtesy George Xie.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: general
+
+ Compatibility changes; in order to modernize the codebase, Mako
+ is now dropping support for Python 2.4 and Python 2.5 altogether.
+ The source base is now targeted at Python 2.6 and forwards.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature
+
+ Template modules now generate a JSON "metadata" structure at the bottom
+ of the source file which includes parseable information about the
+ templates' source file, encoding etc. as well as a mapping of module
+ source lines to template lines, thus replacing the "# SOURCE LINE"
+ markers throughout the source code. The structure also indicates those
+ lines that are explicitly not part of the template's source; the goal
+ here is to allow better integration with coverage and other tools.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py3k
+
+ Fixed bug in ``decode.<encoding>`` filter where a non-string object
+ would not be correctly interpreted in Python 3.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug, py3k
+ :tickets: 227
+
+ Fixed bug in Python parsing logic which would fail on Python 3
+ when a "try/except" targeted a tuple of exception types, rather
+ than a single exception.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature
+
+ mako-render is now implemented as a setuptools entrypoint script;
+ a standalone mako.cmd.cmdline() callable is now available, and the
+ system also uses argparse now instead of optparse. Pull request
+ courtesy Derek Harland.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature
+
+ The mako-render script will now catch exceptions and run them
+ into the text error handler, and exit with a non-zero exit code.
+ Pull request courtesy Derek Harland.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+
+ A rework of the mako-render script allows the script to run
+ correctly when given a file pathname that is outside of the current
+ directory, e.g. ``mako-render ../some_template.mako``. In this case,
+ the "template root" defaults to the directory in which the template
+ is located, instead of ".". The script also accepts a new argument
+ ``--template-dir`` which can be specified multiple times to establish
+ template lookup directories. Standard input for templates also works
+ now too. Pull request courtesy Derek Harland.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature, py3k
+ :pullreq: github:7
+
+ Support is added for Python 3 "keyword only" arguments, as used in
+ defs. Pull request courtesy Eevee.
+
+
+0.9
+===
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 0.9.1
+ :released: Thu Dec 26 2013
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets: 225
+
+ Fixed bug in Babel plugin where translator comments
+ would be lost if intervening text nodes were encountered.
+ Fix courtesy Ned Batchelder.
+
+ .. change::

+
+ Fixed an AST issue that was preventing correct operation
+ under alpha versions of Python 3.4. Pullreq courtesy Zer0-.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets:
+
+ Changed the format of the "source encoding" header output
+ by the code generator to use the format ``# -*- coding:%s -*-``
+ instead of ``# -*- encoding:%s -*-``; the former is more common
+ and compatible with emacs. Courtesy Martin Geisler.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets: 224
+
+ Fixed issue where an old lexer rule prevented a template line
+ which looked like "#*" from being correctly parsed.
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 0.9.0
+ :released: Tue Aug 27 2013
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets: 219
+
+ The Context.locals_() method becomes a private underscored
+ method, as this method has a specific internal use. The purpose
+ of Context.kwargs has been clarified, in that it only delivers
+ top level keyword arguments originally passed to template.render().
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets:
+
+ Fixed the babel plugin to properly interpret ${} sections
+ inside of a "call" tag, i.e. <%self:some_tag attr="${_('foo')}"/>.
+ Code that's subject to babel escapes in here needs to be
+ specified as a Python expression, not a literal. This change
+ is backwards incompatible vs. code that is relying upon a _('')
+ translation to be working within a call tag.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets: 187
+
+ The Babel plugin has been repaired to work on Python 3.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets: 207
+
+ Using <%namespace import="*" module="somemodule"/> now
+ skips over module elements that are not explcitly callable,
+ avoiding TypeError when trying to produce partials.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets: 190
+
+ Fixed Py3K bug where a "lambda" expression was not
+ interpreted correctly within a template tag; also
+ fixed in Py2.4.
+
+0.8
+===
+
+.. changelog::
+ :version: 0.8.1
+ :released: Fri May 24 2013
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets: 216
+
+ Changed setup.py to skip installing markupsafe
+ if Python version is < 2.6 or is between 3.0 and
+ less than 3.3, as Markupsafe now only supports 2.6->2.X,
+ 3.3->3.X.

+
+ Fixed bug whereby an exception in Python 3
+ against a module compiled to the filesystem would

+ content being in bytes.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets: 208
+
+ Change default for compile()->reserved_names
+ from tuple to frozenset, as this is expected to be
+ a set by default.
+
+ .. change::

+
+ Code has been reworked to support Python 2.4->
+ Python 3.xx in place. 2to3 no longer needed.
+

+
+ Added lexer_cls argument to Template,
+ TemplateLookup, allows alternate Lexer classes
+ to be used.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature
+ :tickets:
+
+ Added future_imports parameter to Template
+ and TemplateLookup, renders the __future__ header
+ with desired capabilities at the top of the generated
+ template module. Courtesy Ben Trofatter.

+ :released: Wed Nov 7 2012
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug
+ :tickets:
+
+ legacy_html_escape function, used when

+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bug

+
+ Template caching has been converted into a plugin
+ system, whereby the usage of Beaker is just the
+ default plugin. Template and TemplateLookup
+ now accept a string "cache_impl" parameter which
+ refers to the name of a cache plugin, defaulting
+ to the name 'beaker'. New plugins can be
+ registered as pkg_resources entrypoints under
+ the group "mako.cache", or registered directly
+ using mako.cache.register_plugin(). The
+ core plugin is the mako.cache.CacheImpl
+ class.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: feature
+ :tickets:
+
+ Added support for Beaker cache regions
+ in templates. Usage of regions should be considered
+ as superseding the very obsolete idea of passing in
+ backend options, timeouts, etc. within templates.

+ :released: Wed Sep 28 2011
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:
+ :tickets: 174
+
+ A Template is explicitly disallowed
+ from having a url that normalizes to relative outside
+ of the root. That is, if the Lookup is based
+ at /home/mytemplates, an include that would place
+ the ultimate template at
+ /home/mytemplates/../some_other_directory,
+ i.e. outside of /home/mytemplates,
+ is disallowed. This usage was never intended
+ despite the lack of an explicit check.
+ The main issue this causes
+ is that module files can be written outside
+ of the module root (or raise an error, if file perms aren't
+ set up), and can also lead to the same template being
+ cached in the lookup under multiple, relative roots.
+ TemplateLookup instead has always supported multiple
+ file roots for this purpose.

+ New tag: <%block>. A variant on <%def> that
+ evaluates its contents in-place.
+ Can be named or anonymous,
+ the named version is intended for inheritance

+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:

+
+ The FastEncodingBuffer is now used
+ by default instead of cStringIO or StringIO,
+ regardless of whether output_encoding
+ is set to None or not. FEB is faster than
+ both. Only StringIO allows bytestrings
+ of unknown encoding to pass right
+ through, however - while it is of course
+ not recommended to send bytestrings of unknown
+ encoding to the output stream, this
+ mode of usage can be re-enabled by
+ setting the flag bytestring_passthrough
+ to True.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:

+
+ disable_unicode mode requires that
+ output_encoding be set to None - it also
+ forces the bytestring_passthrough flag
+ to True.

+ .. change::

+ :tickets: 156
+
+ the <%namespace> tag raises an error
+ if the 'template' and 'module' attributes

+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:
+ :tickets:
+
+ fixed bug where 'output_encoding' parameter would prevent
+ render_unicode() from returning a unicode object.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:
+ :tickets:
+
+ bumped magic number, which forces template recompile for
+ this version (fixes incompatible compile symbols from 0.1
+ series).
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:
+ :tickets:
+
+ added a few docs for cache options, specifically those that
+ help with memcached.

+
+ Speed improvements (as though we needed them, but people
+ contributed and there you go):
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:
+ :tickets: 77
+
+ added "bytestring passthru" mode, via
+ `disable_unicode=True` argument passed to Template or
+ TemplateLookup. All unicode-awareness and filtering is
+ turned off, and template modules are generated with
+ the appropriate magic encoding comment. In this mode,
+ template expressions can only receive raw bytestrings
+ or Unicode objects which represent straight ASCII, and
+ render_unicode() may not be used if multibyte
+ characters are present. When enabled, speed
+ improvement around 10-20%. (courtesy
+ anonymous guest)
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:
+ :tickets: 76
+
+ inlined the "write" function of Context into a local
+ template variable. This affords a 12-30% speedup in
+ template render time. (idea courtesy same anonymous
+ guest)

+ .. change::

+
+ New Features, API changes:
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:
+ :tickets: 62
+
+ added "attr" accessor to namespaces. Returns
+ attributes configured as module level attributes, i.e.
+ within <%! %> sections. i.e.::
+
+ # somefile.html
+ <%!
+ foo = 27
+ %>
+
+ # some other template
+ <%namespace name="myns" file="somefile.html"/>
+ ${myns.attr.foo}
+
+ The slight backwards incompatibility here is, you
+ can't have namespace defs named "attr" since the
+ "attr" descriptor will occlude it.
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:
+ :tickets: 78
+
+ cache_key argument can now render arguments passed
+ directly to the %page or %def, i.e. <%def
+ name="foo(x)" cached="True" cache_key="${x}"/>
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:
+ :tickets:
+
+ some functions on Context are now private:
+ _push_buffer(), _pop_buffer(),
+ caller_stack._push_frame(), caller_stack._pop_frame().
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags:
+ :tickets: 56, 81
+
+ added a runner script "mako-render" which renders
+ standard input as a template to stdout
+
+ .. change::

+ used with identifiers like "else", "finally", etc.
+ inside them
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bugfixes
+ :tickets: 69
+
+ fixed codegen bug which occurred when using <%page>
+ level caching, combined with an expression-based
+ cache_key, combined with the usage of <%namespace
+ import="*"/> - fixed lexer exceptions not cleaning up
+ temporary files, which could lead to a maximum number
+ of file descriptors used in the process
+
+ .. change::
+ :tags: bugfixes
+ :tickets: 71
+
+ fixed issue with inline format_exceptions that was
+ producing blank exception pages when an inheriting
+ template is present

+ .. change::
+ :tags:
+ :tickets:
+
+ fixed propagation of 'caller' such that nested %def calls
+ within a <%call> tag's argument list propigates 'caller'
+ to the %call function itself (propigates to the inner
+ calls too, this is a slight side effect which previously
+ existed anyway)
