CHANGELOG

# this is for keeping track of what we're adding to 0.9 as we go to make it
# easier to write "What's New" documentation and presentations later. Please
# update it whenever a substantial change is made.

# the format of this document is subject to change; I'm just wanting to get
# things started

Improved password reset
-----------------------

 * Password reset has been slightly modified to address many issues that were
   discovered in 0.7. It was brought in line with the same password reset
   spec that Django contrib auth implements.

Improved support for non-username sites
---------------------------------------

 * Introduced new templatetag {% user_display %} which takes a single User
   instance and maps it to a display value defined by ACCOUNT_USER_DISPLAY.
   Default value of ACCOUNT_USER_DISPLAY is lambda user: user.username.

Added nested group support
--------------------------

**This feature is in-development**

 * The internal groups app was externalized as django-groups.
 
 * Group base model was given two new fields: content_type and object_id for
   nesting groups (these field names are subject to change).
 
 * group_slug has been replaced with group-level specific naming. For example
   in the previous groups support group apps would hook up a content object
   apps such as::
   
       bridge = ContentBridge(Project, "projects")
       ...
       urlpatterns += bridge.include_urls('topics.urls', r'^project/(?P<group_slug>[-\w]+)/topics/')
   
   We can no longer rely on group_slug as shown above since content object
   apps can now be group apps. The new and correct way is to use the lower
   case form of the model name::
   
       bridge = ContentBridge(Project)
       ...
       urlpatterns += bridge.include_urls("topics.urls", r"^project/(?P<project_slug>[-\w]+)/topics/")
   
   Notice the second argument to ContentBridge is no longer needed. It now
   uses the app_label for the model by default.
 
 * The new signature of ContentBridge.get_group has changed from::
   
       bridge.get_group(group_slug)
   
   to::
   
        bridge.get_group(**kwargs)
   
   where kwargs comes from the new required view signature::
   
       def project_detail(request, pk, **kwargs):
           ...
   
   The reason for this change is because the data you get from the URL has
   slightly changed as well.
 
 * TODO


Added a new starter project for serving up static media and templates
---------------------------------------------------------------------

 * Allows HTML mockups to have a ready Pinax layout and take advantage of the 
   Django templating language.
