1.0 (unreleased)

• Update to use grokcore.layout instead of megrok.layout.

1.0b2 (2011-02-01)

• Updated versions dependencies to remove the use of megrok.resource in favor of fanstatic.

1.0b1 (2010-11-16)

• The ContextualMenu viewlet now computes the URL using the ‘url’ attribute of the entries, as it should be.

1.0a2 (2010-11-05)

• Dependencies have been slimmed down : dolmen.app.layout now longer provides coverage for the megrok.z3ctable and zeam.form.composed packages. We now rely on the grokcore packages and no longer on the grok package itself.

• Tests no longer use zope.testing.

1.0a1 (2010-06-03)

• The flash messages are now retrieved thanks to grokcore.message.

• Tests have been corrected and simplified.

• Using now zeam.form instead of z3c.form.

• Using now dolmen.menu instead of megrok.menu.

• dolmen.app.layout now required python2.6 to work. This is due to the use of class decorators.

0.5.1 (2010-02-26)

• Corrected the success message getter for the Delete form. It used to fetch the property object and try to persist it. Now, it gets its value as it should.

0.5.0 (2010-02-25)

• Using now the latest megrok.layout. This removes the need for the ApplicationAwareView mixin. This version of dolmen.app.layout will only work with Grok >= 1.1rc1.

0.4.0 (2010-02-17)

• INotFound errors are not located in the index.html view. This allows to use a layout transparently. The __parent__ is set to the ob attribute of the INotFound object.

• The contextual menu is no longer restricted to IBaseContent objects. It is now registered for Interface.

• The dependencies have been greatly reduced by the removal of all the zope.app packages.

0.3.1 (2010-01-21)

• Bug fix: the success message of a Delete form is a property and can’t be called directly through the class. We need to use fget.

0.3 (2009-12-26)

• The layout now provides and uses a way to include resources, using megrok.resourceviewlet. Two components have been added for that: ResourcesManager and Resource, respectively a viewletmanager and a viewlet base class.

• The imports has been modified to avoid using any zope.app package.

0.2.2 (2009-11-03)

• Now the configure.zcml includes the megrok.z3ctable meta.zcml.

• Updated dependencies in setup.py

0.2.1 (2009-11-02)

• Corrected flash messages and redirection in the delete form.

0.2 (2009-11-02)

• Added Delete form to complete the CRUD actions.

0.1 (2009-11-02)

• Initial release
