These are all the changes in Lektor since the first public release.
-
Address recent deprecations of various bits of
werkzeug.urls
, avoiding use of the deprecated functions where possible. (#1144, #1142) -
Pin
werkzeug<2.41
. Since the deprecatedwerkzeug.urls.URL
is part of our Publisher API, we can not disuse that without changing public API. (#1144)
- Fix installation of local plugins (from the
packages/
subdirectory). This was broken by release 23.1 ofpip
which dropped support for the--install-option
flag topip install
. (#1129, #1127)
-
Implement better input validation for the date/time-formatting jinja filters. Prior to this, passing a
jinja2.Undefined
value to thedate
,time
, ordatetime
filters would elicit an assertion error. (#1122, #1121) -
Fix for spurious rebuilds. Recent versions of watchdog (>=2.3.0) enabled tracking of IN_OPEN events. These fire when a file is opened — even just for reading. Now we're pickier about only responding to events that indicate file modifications. (#1117)
Test under python 3.11. (#1084)
PluginController.emit
would, under certain circumstances, silently ignoreTypeError
s thrown by plugin hook methods. (#1086, #1085)
- List all directly imported packages as dependencies. Fixes #1109.
- Remove frontend javascript rebuild machinery altogether. Since the frontend
source code is not included in distributed Lektor wheels this was breaking
LEKTOR_DEV
functionality for all but those running Lektor from git. (#1072)
- The save hotkey (
<ctl>-s
) now always switches to the preview view. Previously, the save hotkey was disabled unless there were changes to be saved. (#1022)
- Fix for spurious page scrolling when typing in textareas. (#1038, #1050)
- Make
size = {small|large}
field option work again. (#1022) - Fix the edit (
<ctl>-e
) hotkey. (#1022) - Handle hotkeys when the preview iframe has the focus. (#1022)
- Fix building of javascript when devserver is run with
LEKTOR_DEV
set. Broken since Lektor 3.3.2 by PR #1003.
- Update pre-commit config to use
black==22.3.0
to avoid breakage caused byclick>=8.1.0
. (#1019)
- Enabled the Jinja debug extension when the
LEKTOR_DEV
env var is set to 1 andlektor server
is used. (#984)
- The wording in the LICENSE file was standardized to that of the current BSD 3-Clause License. (#972)
- Fix overzealous HTML-entity escaping of link and image attributes. (#989)
- Fix a bug in
make_editor_session
when editing non-existant pages with a non-primary alt. (#964) - Fix the ability to add an initial flowblock to a page. (Broken in 3.3.1.)
- Refactor API views to move business logic back into the
Tree
adapter (#967). This fixes #962.
- Changed the structure of the URLs used by the GUI single-page app (#976). This fixes problems with the "edit" pencil when using alternatives (#975), and issues when page ids include colons (#610).
- Other React refactors and fixes (#988).
- Fix
Attachment.url_path
when alternatives are in use. There is only one copy of each attachment emitted — theurl_path
should always be that corresponding to the primary alternative. (#958) Pad.get
, if not passed an explicit value for thealt
parameter, now returns the record for the primary alternative rather than the fallback record. Similarly,Pad.root
now returns the root record for the primary alternative. (#958, #965)- Fix for uncaught
OSError(error=EINVAL)
on Windows whenPad.get
was called with a path containing characters which are not allowed in Windows filenames (e.g.<>*?|\/":
).
- Pages now record a build dependency on their datamodel
.ini
file. - Fix sqlite version detection so that we use "without rowid" optimization with current versions of sqlite. (#1002)
- When running
lektor dev new-theme
: fix check for ability to create symlinks under Windows. (#996) - Fix rsync publisher when deletion enabled on macOS. (#946, #954)
- Cleaned up
EditorSession
to split mapping methods (for access to record data) to a separate class, now available asEditorSession.data
. (#969)
- Move frontend source from
lektor/admin/static/
tofrontend/
. Compiled frontend code moved fromlektor/admin/static/gen/
to 'lektor/admin/static/`. (#1003)
- Omit
example
subdirectory, frontend source code, developer-centric config files, as well as other assorted cruft from sdist. (#986)
- Fixed an import cycle which caused in
ImportError
iflektor.types
was imported beforelektor.environemnt
. #974
- Disuse deprecated
Thread.setDaemon()
. #979
- Fix spastic scroll behavior when editing flow elements. #640
- Fix admin GUI when page contains an unknown flowblock type. #968
- Fix admin GUI layout on mobile devices. #981
- Increased timeout in
test_watcher.IterateInThread
to prevent random spurious failures during CI testing. - Fix
tests/test_prev_next_sibling.py
so as to allow running multiple test runs in parallel. - Use per-testenv coverage files to prevent contention when running
tox --parallel
. - Mark tests that require a working internet connections with pytest mark
requiresinternet
. #983
- Finish rewriting React class-based components to function-based components. #977
- Finish adding types for all API endpoints. #980
- Remove disused event-source polyfill.
