0.4.0

Released: Sun Mar 6 2011

• A 20% speedup for a basic two-page
  inheritance setup rendering
  a table of escaped data
  (see http://techspot.zzzeek.org/2010/11/19/quick-mako-vs.-jinja-speed-test/).
  A few configurational changes which
  affect those in the I-don't-do-unicode
  camp should be noted below.

• The FastEncodingBuffer is now used
  by default instead of cStringIO or StringIO,
  regardless of whether output_encoding
  is set to None or not. FEB is faster than
  both. Only StringIO allows bytestrings
  of unknown encoding to pass right
  through, however - while it is of course
  not recommended to send bytestrings of unknown
  encoding to the output stream, this
  mode of usage can be re-enabled by
  setting the flag bytestring_passthrough
  to True.

• disable_unicode mode requires that
  output_encoding be set to None - it also
  forces the bytestring_passthrough flag
  to True.

• the <%namespace> tag raises an error
  if the 'template' and 'module' attributes
  are specified at the same time in
  one tag. A different class is used
  for each case which allows a reduction in
  runtime conditional logic and function
  call overhead.

• the keys() in the Context, as well as
  it's internal _data dictionary, now
  include just what was specified to
  render() as well as Mako builtins
  'caller', 'capture'. The contents
  of builtin are no longer copied.
  Thanks to Daniel Lopez for pointing
  this out.
