Hi all,
I'm happy to announce releases of Mezzanine 1.1 and Cartridge 0.5!
The lead up to Mezzanine 1.0 and Cartridge 0.4 a few months ago was mostly
about dropping support for older Django versions and generally cleaning
things up. These latest releases are the result of a focus on new features
over the last few months. Here are the major additions in Mezzanine 1.1:
- New mezzanine.accounts app that extends the existing signup/login
functionality to include customisable user fields, AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE
integration, profile forms, public profile pages, auth backend for login
via email or lost password token, and optional email verification for new
account
- Full multi-tenancy, where multiple sites can be hosted on a single
running instance
- New optional caching strategy, using a combination of two-phased
rendering and mint caching
- Integrated fabric deployments for building and deploying production
environments
Other minor enhancements include:
- Akismet integration for filtering spam comments and form posts
- Better support for hosting static content on CDNs
- Content field sanitization with varying configurable filter levels
- Full support for Django 1.4's timezones
- Automatic integration with django-compressor when installed
- New "Link" content type for external links
- Page loading and page processor handling is now in middleware - this
allows seamless "zero config" integration between the page tree and
third-party apps
- New {% overextends %} tag allowing project templates to simultaneously
override and extend app templates (circular inheritance)
- Enhanced primary nav (now uses Bootstrap's dropdowns)
The work on Cartridge since 0.4 has been minimal, and mostly been around
keeping it in line with changes to Mezzanine. Other than that, there have
been a couple of nice new additions:
- Authenticated users can now view their order history
- Discount codes can now have a limited number of uses
And of course for both projects, there have been a ton of fixes and
documentation updates. We also now have a #mezzanine IRC channel on
freenode, so please drop by.
There's been a huge increase in community participation and contribution
since the Mezzanine 1.0 release a few months ago. A big thanks goes to
everyone who has been a part of it.
