nti.contentfragments 1.8.0

Overview

In a client/server environment dealing with various types of content from users, it’s important to know what not just the Python type of a particular string is, but also what the semantic type of the string is: HTML, plain text, LaTeX, etc.

This package defines interfaces and classes to be able to record this information. It also features a framework for transforming between the various supported semantic types (e.g., HTML to plain text).

Other features:

• Support for making arbitrary incoming HTML safe (sanitizing it).

• Support for very configurable (optionally) event-based profanity censoring that integrates with nti.schema/zope.schema.

See the documentation for more details.

1.8.0 (2021-10-06)

• Add support for Python 3.9 and 3.10.

• Move to Github Actions from Travis CI.

• The algorithm for converting HTML to plain text has been changed and produces higher quality output. For example, links are preserved in a human-readable fashion. See issue 39.

• Fix an error getting link text when there was no link formatter utility installed. See PR 42.

1.7.0 (2020-10-07)

• Allow conversion of reStructuredText fragments to plain text.

1.6.1 (2020-09-14)

• Ensure disallowed tags nested within anchors do not raise. See issue 34.

1.6.0 (2020-09-02)

• Add support for reStructuredText content fragments and corresponding fields.

1.5.0 (2020-07-23)

• When sanitizing html, disable link creation when already under an anchor.

1.4.0 (2020-06-17)

• Allow IAllowedAttributeProvider to be registered to provide additional attributes that would be allowed in sanitized content fragments.

1.3.0 (2020-04-06)

• Add support for Python 3.8.

• Depend on zope.interface 5.0.

• Update the datrie dependency. See https://github.com/NextThought/nti.contentfragments/issues/24

• Make IUnicodeContentFragment extend zope.interface.common.collections.ISequence instead of the semi-deprecated zope.interface.common.sequence.IReadSequence.

• Replace custom interfaces IString, IUnicode and IBytes with aliases for INativeString, ITextString and IByteString from zope.interface.common.builtins. These custom aliases are now deprecated. See https://github.com/NextThought/nti.contentfragments/issues/23.

• Fix unicode normalization breaking schema fields with zope.schema 6.0. See https://github.com/NextThought/nti.contentfragments/issues/26

• Ensure all objects have consistent resolution orders.

1.2.1 (2019-11-07)

• Remove a word from the censored word list. See issue https://github.com/NextThought/nti.contentfragments/issues/22.

1.2.0 (2018-10-15)

• Add support for Python 3.7. Note that datrie is not yet available for Python 3.7.

• Add support for PyPy3.

• Add interfaces for all schema fields defined in nti.contentfragments.schema and make the respective classes implement them.

1.1.1 (2018-06-29)

• Packaging: Do not use html5lib[datrie] and instead copy that dependency into our own dependencies to workaround a buildout error. See https://github.com/NextThought/nti.contentfragments/issues/17

1.1.0 (2017-06-14)

• Remove dependency of dolmen.builtins. The interfaces IUnicode, IBytes and IString are now always defined by this package.

• Add support for Python 3.6.

1.0.0 (2016-08-19)

• Add support for Python 3.

• Stop configuring plone.i18n. It’s a big dependency and doesn’t work on Python 3.

• Introduce our own interfaces for IUnicode and IString, subclassing dolmen.builtins.IUnicode and IString, respectively, if possible.

• The word lists used in censoring are cached in memory.

• nti.contentfragments.html._Serializer has been renamed and is no longer public.

• Depend on zope.mimetype >= 2.1.0 for better support of Python 3.
