0.2.0

Released: Tue Jun 3 2008

• Speed improvements (as though we needed them, but people
  contributed and there you go):

• added "bytestring passthru" mode, via
  disable_unicode=True argument passed to Template or
  TemplateLookup. All unicode-awareness and filtering is
  turned off, and template modules are generated with
  the appropriate magic encoding comment. In this mode,
  template expressions can only receive raw bytestrings
  or Unicode objects which represent straight ASCII, and
  render_unicode() may not be used if multibyte
  characters are present. When enabled, speed
  improvement around 10-20%. (courtesy
  anonymous guest)

• inlined the "write" function of Context into a local
  template variable. This affords a 12-30% speedup in
  template render time. (idea courtesy same anonymous
  guest)

• New Features, API changes:

• added "attr" accessor to namespaces. Returns
  attributes configured as module level attributes, i.e.
  within <%! %> sections. i.e.:

  somefile.html

  <%!
  foo = 27
  %>

  some other template

  <%namespace name="myns" file="somefile.html"/>
  ${myns.attr.foo}The slight backwards incompatibility here is, you
  can't have namespace defs named "attr" since the
  "attr" descriptor will occlude it.

• cache_key argument can now render arguments passed
  directly to the %page or %def, i.e. <%def
  name="foo(x)" cached="True" cache_key="${x}"/>

  References: #78

• some functions on Context are now private:
  _push_buffer(), _pop_buffer(),
  caller_stack._push_frame(), caller_stack._pop_frame().

• added a runner script "mako-render" which renders
  standard input as a template to stdout

  References: #56, #81

• [bugfixes] can now use most names from builtins as variable
  names without explicit declaration (i.e. 'id',
  'exception', 'range', etc.)

  References: #83, #84

• [bugfixes] can also use builtin names as local variable names
  (i.e. dict, locals) (came from fix for)

  References: #84

• [bugfixes] fixed bug in python generation when variable names are
  used with identifiers like "else", "finally", etc.
  inside them

  References: #68

• [bugfixes] fixed codegen bug which occurred when using <%page>
  level caching, combined with an expression-based
  cache_key, combined with the usage of <%namespace
  import="*"/> - fixed lexer exceptions not cleaning up
  temporary files, which could lead to a maximum number
  of file descriptors used in the process

  References: #69

• [bugfixes] fixed issue with inline format_exceptions that was
  producing blank exception pages when an inheriting
  template is present

  References: #71

• [bugfixes] format_exceptions will apply the encoding options of
  html_error_template() to the buffered output

• [bugfixes] rewrote the "whitespace adjuster" function to work
  with more elaborate combinations of quotes and
  comments
