Hi everybody, The Grok team is happy to announce the release of Grok 0.12! Grok is a web application framework built with Zope 3 technologies that aims to be easy to use. See also http://grok.zope.org/ This release is available on PyPI and a new index of specific versions of packages used by this release has been frozen at http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/grok-0.12.cfg. This means that new projects created with grokproject will start using this release right away. New Features ------------ * Viewlet support. Viewlets are highly configurable "part-of-page" components. Expect documentation on the website soon. * Automatic inclusion of dependencies. No more editing configure.zcml of your application when you add a new package to setup.py that has ZCML. Grok now automatically should find this dependency and loads its ZCML, so only editing setup.py and running bin/buildout should now be required. * Added testsetup classes in grok.testing to improve easy setup of unit- and functional tests. * Note also that the Base postfix feature has been removed. Classes with names that end with this postfix are not treated as Grok base classes anymore. Use the grok.baseclass directive instead. Upgrading --------- To upgrade an existing project from 0.11.x to 0.12 you have to: 1. change the 'extends' directive in your project's buildout.cfg to point to http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/grok-0.12.cfg 2. run ``bin/buildout`` in your project, to update the dependencies including the 0.12 egg of Grok itself For the detailed changelog, see Grok's PyPI entry page http://pypi.python.org/pypi/grok For detailed upgrade notes, including how to change your application, see http://grok.zope.org/project/upgrade-notes For installation instructions and much more on how to use Grok, see the Grok tutorial: http://grok.zope.org/documentation/book/ We hope to hear from you! ------------------------- If you enjoy Grok, please subscribe to the grok-dev mailing list and join us in the #grok channel on irc.freenode.net.
