[Grok-dev] Grok 0.12 released!

[Jan-Wijbrand Kolman]

Hi everybody,


The Grok team is happy to announce the release of Grok 0.12.1! This is a 
bugfix release.

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-0.12.1.cfg. This means that new 
projects created with grokproject will start using this release right away.

Bug fixes:
----------

* 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.

* The grokkers for adapters and global utilities did not use the correct 
value for the provided interface in the configuration action 
discriminator. Because of this, uninformative and potentially wrong 
conflict errors would occur, as well as no conflict where a conflict 
should have occurred.

* The grokker for the global_utility() directive did immediate 
registrations instead of generating configuration actions. Therefore it 
did not provoke ConflictErrors for conflicting registrations.

* Removed quickly hacked testsetup code from grok.testing.

* Port fix of zope.formlib to correctly adapt the context to a 
FormField's interface, not the field.

Upgrading
---------

To upgrade an existing project from 0.12 to 0.12.1 you have to:

1. change the 'extends' directive in your project's buildout.cfg to 
point to http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/grok-0.12.1.cfg

2. run ``bin/buildout`` in your project, to update the dependencies 
including the 0.12.1 egg of Grok itself

For the detailed changelog, see Grok's PyPI entry page 
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/grok

We hope to hear from you!
