Fixes and Enhancements since Version 0.5 alpha 3 |
| |
|
| |
- Use of the included 'kjbuckets' module is now DEPRECATED, due to increasing |
| |
bitrot. Aaron Watters originally wrote this extension for Python 1.2, and |
| |
it has not been well-maintained for newer versions of the Python/C API. |
| |
Instead of 'kjSet' objects, use the Python 2.3 'Set' type, and instead of |
| |
the 'kjGraph' type, use the new 'Graph' type in 'peak.util.Graph'. Some |
| |
porting effort may be required, as these types are not precisely the same |
| |
in signature as the originals. |
| |
|
| |
- The '_setNS()' method of the 'peak.util.SOX.ISOXNode_NS' interface has |
| |
changed signature, due to a lack of use of the second argument in the code |
| |
base, and its dependency on 'kjbuckets'. |
| |
|
| |
- The old 'peak.security' implementation has been removed, and replaced with |
| |
a simpler, more flexible implementation based on generic functions (using |
| |
less than half the code and seven fewer interfaces). Complete documentation |
| |
and API tests for the new implementation can be found in 'rules.txt' in the |
| |
'peak.security' package directory. |
| |
|
| |
Also, the new implemetation does not require redundant |
| |
'security.allow(security.Anybody)' declarations just because you've declared |
| |
other permissions for a class, so these declarations have been removed from |
| |
``peak.web``. They don't do any harm, however, so you can leave them in |
| |
your own code as long as you change them to use 'binding.metadata()' instead |
| |
of the deprecated 'security.allow()'. |
| |
|
| |
- 'security.allow()' is now DEPRECATED; please use 'binding.metadata()' |
| |
instead. (There is no change to the calling signature, but |
| |
'binding.metadata' accepts any metadata, not just permissions.) |
| |
|
| |
- Added 'peak.running.options', a new option-parsing framework that extends |
| |
'optparse' to support the PEAK 'commands' framework. Command instances |
| |
can now refer to 'self.parsed_args' to find their non-option arguments, |
| |
and to trigger setting of their attributes (or calling of methods) based on |
| |
their raw arguments from 'self.argv'. See 'options.txt' in the |
| |
'peak.running' package directory for a complete tutorial. |
| |
|
| |
- There is now a 'binding.initAttrs()' function that can be used to initialize |
| |
an object's attributes from e.g. constructor keyword arguments, similar to |
| |
how 'binding.Component' and 'binding.Attribute' constructors work. |
| |
|
| - Security permissions can now be declared as attribute metadata. |
