wagtail 1.1

on Python PyPI

Major features:

• specific() method on PageQuerySet
• "Promoted search results" has moved into its own module
• Atomic rebuilding of Elasticsearch indexes
• The wagtail.contrib.wagtailapi module now uses Django REST Framework
• Permissions fixes in the admin interface
• Searchable snippets

Minor features:

• Implemented deletion of form submissions
• Implemented pagination in the page chooser modal
• Changed INSTALLED_APPS in project template to list apps in precedence order
• The {% image %} tag now supports filters on the image variable, e.g. {% image primary_img|default:secondary_img width-500 %}
• Moved the style guide menu item into the Settings sub-menu
• Search backends can now be specified by module (e.g. wagtail.wagtailsearch.backends.elasticsearch), rather than a specific class (wagtail.wagtailsearch.backends.elasticsearch.ElasticSearch)
• Added descendant_of filter to the API
• Added optional directory argument to "wagtail start" command
• Non-superusers can now view/edit/delete sites if they have the correct permissions
• Image file size is now stored in the database, to avoid unnecessary filesystem lookups
• Page URL lookups hit the cache/database less often
• Updated URLs within the admin backend to use namespaces
• The update_index task now indexes objects in batches of 1000, to indicate progress and avoid excessive memory use
• Added database indexes on PageRevision and Image to improve performance on large sites
• Search in page chooser now uses Wagtail's search framework, to order results by relevance
• PageChooserPanel now supports passing a list (or tuple) of accepted page types
• The snippet type parameter of SnippetChooserPanel can now be omitted, or passed as a model name string rather than a model class
• Added aliases for the self template variable to accommodate Jinja as a templating engine: page for pages, field_panel for field panels / edit handlers, and value for blocks
• Added signposting text to the explorer to steer editors away from creating pages at the root level unless they are setting up new sites
• "Clear choice" and "Edit this page" buttons are no longer shown on the page field of the group page permissions form
• Altered styling of stream controls to be more like all other buttons
• Added ability to mark page models as not available for creation using the flag is_creatable; pages that are abstract Django models are automatically made non-creatable
• New translations for Norwegian Bokmål and Icelandic

Bug fixes:

• Text areas in the non-default tab of the page editor now resize to the correct height
• Tabs in "insert link" modal in the rich text editor no longer disappear (Tim Heap)
• H2 elements in rich text fields were accidentally given a click() binding when put insite a collapsible multi field panel
• The wagtailimages module is now compatible with remote storage backends that do not allow reopening closed files
• Search no longer crashes when auto-indexing a model that doesn't have an id field
• The wagtailfrontendcache module's HTTP backend has been rewritten to reliably direct requests to the configured cache hostname
• Resizing single pixel images with the "fill" filter no longer raises "ZeroDivisionError" or "tile cannot extend outside image"
• The queryset returned from search operations when using the database search backend now correctly preserves additional properties of the original query, such as prefetch_related / select_related
• Responses from the external image URL generator are correctly marked as streaming and will no longer fail when used with Django's cache middleware
• Page copy now works with pages that use multiple inheritance
• Form builder pages now pick up template variables defined in the get_context method
• When copying a page, IDs of child objects within page revision records were not remapped to the new objects; this would cause those objects to be lost from the original page when editing the new one
• Newly added redirects now take effect on all sites, rather than just the site that the Wagtail admin backend was accessed through
• Add user form no longer throws a hard error on validation failure
