[Zope-Annce] Grok 0.12 released!

[Jan-Wijbrand Kolman]

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
