Extracted the css validator to an external gem that is only required if you try to use the validation feature. This makes the compass gem a lot smaller (0.37MB instead of 4MB). To install the validator:
sudo gem install chriseppstein-compass-validator --source http://gems.github.com/
The compass gem is now built with Jeweler instead of Echoe. No changes to speak of. These versions were bug fixes and working out the new release process.
Bug fix release.
The output_style will no longer be set in the compass.config file. Instead compass will use the runtime rails environment to set a sensible default.
The Sass cache directory will be placed into the sass directory of the project instead of the directory from where the compass command was ran.
Extracted two new mixins from +horizontal-list. The new +horizontal-list-container and +horizontal-list-item mixins can be used to build your horizontal list when you need more control over the selectors (E.g. when working with nested lists).
The Haml project now releases a gem called haml-edge that is built from the haml master branch instead of stable. Compass now depends on this gem and will continue to do so until haml 2.2 is released. This should reduce the number of installation problems that have been encountered by new users.
- Fixed a bug that had broken the --write-configuration (-c) option.
- The --force option will now force recompilation. Useful when the stylesheets don't appear to need a recompile according to the file timestamps.
- Some unit tests were cleaned up for clarity and to better take advantage of the compass project management facilities.
Converted all mixins definitions referencing images to use the new sass function image_url(). The following mixins were affected:
+pretty-bullets+replace-text
The calls to these mixins should now pass a path to the image that is relative to the images directory of the project.
- Required frameworks specified from the command line will now be added into the initial project configuration file.
Added a command line option --install-dir that will emit the directory where compass is installed. Useful for debugging and drilling into the compass examples and libraries.
Bug fix: The http_images_path configuration default should be "/images" instead of "/public/images".
These changes, coupled with upcoming changes to Sass result in significantly reduced time spent on compilation for large projects.
- The compass command line will no longer recompile sass files that haven't changed (taking import dependencies into account).
- The compass command line will now respect the -q (quiet) option during compilation. Additionally, the quiet option will be set by default when watching a project for changes.
Split the push and pull mixins into sub-mixins that separate the common styles from the ones that vary. The generated css when using presentational class names will be smaller as a result. The existing +push and +pull mixins continue to work as expected. The following mixins were added:
+push-base
+push-margins
+pull-base
+pull-margins
Additonally, the liquid plugin was updated to have a span mixin that matches elsewhere.
Added Yahoo's version of the css reset. To use it, mix into the top level of your project:
@import yui/modules/reset.sass
+reset
- Conditionally defining #blank? on String/NilClass (Erik Bryn erik.bryn@gmail.com)
- Set compass environment in plugin based on RAILS_ENV (Lee Nussbaum wln@scrunch.org)
Maintenance release that fixes several bugs in the handling of configuration files.
Patterns give a framework or plugin access to the compass installer framework to install customizable sass, html as well as image and javascript assets.
A pattern is a folder in the plugin's templates directory. It must have a manifest file that tells compass what to install and where. Unlike the project template, a pattern can be stamped out any number of times.
It is best for pattern stylesheets to only provide example usage to get the user started. All the core styles for the pattern should be distributed as part of the framework's stylesheets as mixins to facilitate easy upgrades and bug fixing on the part of the pattern's maintainer.
Example Usage: compass --framework blueprint --pattern buttons
Please read the Wiki Page for more information.
--validate
Validate your project's compiled css. Requires java and probably only works on Mac and Unix.--grid-img [DIMENSIONS]
Generate a background image to test grid alignment. Dimension is given as <column_width>+<gutter_width>. Defaults to 30+10.-p, --pattern PATTERN
When combined with with the --framework option, will stamp a plugin's pattern named PATTERN.-n, --pattern-name NAME
When combined with the --pattern option, the pattern that gets stamped out will be isolated in subdirectories named NAME.-c, --write-configuration
Emit a compass configuration file into the current directory, taking any existing configuration file and any command line options provided into account. (command line options override configuration file options).
Compass projects can call these sass functions within their sass files, if you find them useful.
enumerate(prefix, start, end)
Generates selectors with a prefix and a numerical ending counting from start to end. E.g. enumerate("foo", 1, 3) returns "foo-1, foo-2, foo-3"image_url(path)
Uses the compass configuration to convert a path relative to the compass project directory to a path that is either absolute for serving in an HTTP context or that is relative to whatever css file the function was being compiled into. In the future, this function may also tap into the rails asset host configuration.
+float-left&+float-right
In order to include fixes for IE's double-margin bug universally, floats were implemented as a utility mixins. These are available by importing compass/utilities/general/float.sass which also imports the clearfix module.+pie-clearfix
Implementation of the position-is-everything clearfix that uses content :after.
The Compass port of Blueprint has been upgraded from 0.7.1 to 0.8.0. The 0.8.0 release brings many bug fixes and a few backward incompatible changes if you use it's presentational classnames (you don't do that, do you?). Upgrading to 0.8 is automatic when you upgrade to compass 0.6.0. The Blueprint team didn't release a detailed changelog for me to point at here. One of the key features of the release was the inclusion of three new core blueprint plugins (a.k.a. folders you can copy). These are what prompted the development of the compass patterns feature and two of them are packaged as patterns:
- Buttons
To install:compass --framework blueprint --pattern buttons
Then follow your nose. - Link Icons
To install:compass --framework blueprint --pattern link_icons
Then follow your nose.
The third plugin is the RTL (right-to-left) plugin. To use this one, simply import it after the import of the blueprint grid and your mixins will be redefined to work in a left to right manner. Additionally, it provides +rtl-typography mixin that works in conjunction with +blueprint-typography and should be mixed in with it.
Lastly, I've rewrote some of the presentational class name generation code so that it very nearly matches the blueprint CSS. Please note that they are not 100% the same because we fix some bugs that are not yet fixed in blueprint-css and we use a different clearfix implementation.
- A Safari bug related to the +clearfix mixin was resolved.
- Running the compass command line installer a second time.
Almost definitely. Please let me know if you encounter any problems and I'll get a patch out
