If you're upgrading from a previous release, please read it carefully, or at least skim over it. + +0.4.1 +===== + +This is a bugfix release for 0.4.0. This only implements one major +fix in the newly released document support which prevented the +"conversion via libreoffice" feature. + +If you were running 0.4.0 you can upgrade to v0.4.1 via a simple +switch and restarting mediagoblin/celery with no other actions. + +Otherwise, follow 0.4.0 instructions. + + +0.4.0 +===== + +**Do this to upgrade** + +1. Make sure to run + ``./bin/python setup.py develop --upgrade && ./bin/gmg dbupdate`` + after upgrading. +2. See "For Theme authors" if you have a custom theme. +3. Note that ``./bin/gmg theme assetlink`` is now just + ``./bin/gmg assetlink`` and covers both plugins and assets. + Keep on reading to hear more about new plugin features. +4. If you want to take advantage of new plugins that have statically + served assets, you are going to need to add the new "plugin_static" + section to your nginx config. Basically the following for nginx:: + + # Plugin static files (usually symlinked in) + location /plugin_static/ { + alias /srv/mediagoblin.example.org/mediagoblin/user_dev/plugin_static/; + } + + Similarly, if you've got a modified paste config, you may want to + borrow the app:plugin_static section from the default paste.ini + file. +5. We now use itsdangerous for sessions; if you had any references to + beaker in your paste config you can remove them. Again, see the + default paste.ini config +6. We also now use git submodules. Please do: + ``git submodule init && git submodule update`` + You will need to do this to use the new PDF support. + +**For theme authors** + +If you have your own theme or you have any "user modified templates", +please note the following: + +* mediagoblin/bits/ files above-content.html, body-end.html, + body-start.html now are renamed... they have underscores instead of + dashes in the filenames now :) +* There's a new file: ``mediagoblin/bits/frontpage_welcome.html``. + You can easily customize this to give a welcome page appropriate to + your site. + + +**New features** +* PDF media type! +* Improved plugin system. More flexible, better documented, with a + new plugin authoring section of the docs. +* itsdangerous based sessions. No more beaker! +* New, experimental Piwigo-based API. This means you should be able + to use MediaGoblin with something like Shotwell. (Again, a word of + caution: this is *very experimental*!) +* Human readable timestamps, and the option to display the original + date of an image when available (available as the + "original_date_visible" variable) +* Moved unit testing system from nosetests to py.test so we can better + handle issues with sqlalchemy exploding with different database + configurations. Long story :) +* You can now disable the ability to post comments. +* Tags now can be up to length 255 characters by default. + + 0.3.3 ===== |
