It is used by Morepath.

0.7 (2016-04-11)

• Fix a few documentation issues.

• Expose convert_dotted_name and document it.

• Implement new convert_bool.

• Allow use of directive name instead of Action subclass as argument to Query.

• A query_app function which is especially helpful when writing tests for the query tool – it takes unconverted filter arguments.

• Use newer version of with_metaclass from six.

• Expose NOT_FOUND and document it.

• Introduce a new filter_get_value method you can implement if the normal attribute getting and filter_name are not enough.

0.6 (2016-04-06)

• Introduce a query system for actions and a command-line tool that lets you query actions.

0.5 (2016-04-04)

• Breaking change The signature of commit has changed. Just pass in one or more arguments you want to commit instead of a list. See #8.

0.4 (2016-04-01)

• Expose code_info attribute for action. The path in particular can be useful in implementing a directive such as Morepath’s template_directory. Expose it for composite too.

• Report a few more errors; you cannot use config, before or after after in an action class if group_class is set.

• Raise a DirectiveReportError if a DirectiveError is raised in a composite actions method.

0.3 (2016-03-30)

• Document importscan package that can be used in combination with this one.

• Introduced factory_arguments feature on config factories, which can be used to create dependency relationships between configuration.

• Fix a bug where config items were not always properly reused. Now only the first one in the action class dependency order is used, and it is not recreated.

0.2 (2016-03-29)

• Remove clear_autocommit as it was useless during testing anyway. In tests just use explicit commit.

• Add a dectate.sphinxext module that can be plugged into Sphinx so that directives are documented properly.

• Document how Dectate deals with double imports.

0.1 (2016-03-29)

• Initial public release.
