Publ + Pushl releases and a bunch of plans

There’s been a few releases of both Publ (now on 0.7.35) and Pushl (now on 0.4.0). A pretty decent amount has changed!

Publ changes since 0.7.31:

• Fix some error handling issues causing an ISE
• Add support for HTTP Accept:, properly allowing multiple templates with the same name and providing reasonable fallback behavior
• Improve the Content-Type handling in general
• Fix some markup-safe handling bugs

Note that in order to upgrade to 0.7.35 you’ll also need to restrict your Python environment to use a Python version < 3.13; more on that in a bit.

Pushl changes since v0.3.5:

• Tidy up some code rot
• Actually send an Accept: header
• Removed lxml + Pingback support, which has never actually been useful

So, let’s talk about these projects and some other related stuff.

v0.3.19, now with extra tagging goodness!

I’ve released Publ v0.3.19, which now finally has a tagging system, which is only one of the oldest issues that was still open.

Here’s a list of what’s been added or changed since 0.3.18:

• The test site is now part of the Publ repository itself (as mentioned previously)
• Added crop and fullsize_crop to image renditions (although I’ve already decided the format should be different after using this for a day)
• Made Path-Alias less annoying
• Fixed an issue with unpaged archive links getting filtered
• Prune missing files from the index

Credits

I want to thank Karina Antonio for implementing image cropping.

v0.3.18, now with better asset management!

I’ve just released v0.3.18, with the following changes:

• Add date grouping properties to entry
• Add a pages property to view
• Provide the current category object to the error handler
• Support linking to non-image/non-entry local files
• Added, then removed, some performance micro-optimizations that only caused problems

More details about the major changes below!

Update: I released a hotfix as 0.3.18.1 because there was a last-minute bug that snuck in while I was trying to silence a new pylint error. Oops.

v0.3.11

v0.3.11 is now released, with the following changes:

• A more complete fix for how to handle image sets and inline images with respect to paragraphs
• Better cleanup for spurious empty paragraphs
• Improved internal entry link handling

Detailed descriptions of the changes are below.
