Changes in 1.11.1 (released 01/11/2008)

  • Added missing source file _xml_codec_include.c to the source distributions.

Changes in 1.11 (released 01/07/2008)

  • root: URLs are now treated as local files for purposes of file i/o.
  • ll.make.ModuleAction no longer supports modules that fiddle with sys.modules.
  • The function ll.misc.tokenizepi can be used to split a string according to the processing instruction tags in the string (this formerly was part of ll.xist.xsc).
  • ll.make has been changed interally to store modification timestamp, which should fix the implementation of PhonyAction and makes it possible to use PhonyActions as inputs to other actions.
  • ll.make has a new action ImportAction. This action doesn't take any input. It imports a module specified by name, e.g. make.ImportAction("cStringIO") (Note that you should not import one module via ModuleAction and ImportAction (or a normal import) as this will return two different module objects).
  • Make actions don't have the input actions as a constructor parameter any longer. The input action can now only be set via __div__.
  • ll.make has been updated to support the actions required by XIST 3.0.
  • The functions misc.item, misc.first, misc.last and misc.count have been reimplemented in C and should be faster now (especally item for negative indexes).
  • misc.Namespace is gone and has been replaced with misc.Pool which works similar to the pools use by XIST (in fact XISTs pool class is a subclass of miscs).
  • The module xml_codec has been added. It contains a complete codec for encoding and decoding XML

Changes in 1.10.1 (released 07/20/2007)

  • Fix option handling in ll.daemon (values from the optionparser where never used).

Changes in 1.10 (released 06/21/2007)

  • ll.daemon now uses optparse to parse the command line options. Start options restart and run have been added.

Changes in 1.9.1 (released 04/03/2007)

  • Fixed a bug in ll.url.SshConnection, which was missing a call to urllib.url2pathname.

Changes in 1.9 (released 03/30/2007)

  • ll.url.Context no longer relies on automatic cleanup for closing connections. Instead when a Context object is used in a with block, all connections will be closed at the end of the block. This should finally fix the problem with hanging threads at the end of the program.

  • A script ucp.py has been added that can be used to copy stuff around:

    ucp -v http://www.python.org ssh://root@www.example.net/~joe/public_html/index.html -u joe -g users

Changes in 1.8 (released 03/12/2007)

  • In calls to ll.url.URL methods that get forwarded to a connection it's now possible to pass keyword arguments for the connection constructor directly to the called method, i.e. you can do:

    >>> u = url.URL("ssh://root@www.example.com/etc/passwd")
>>> u.size(identity="/root/.ssh/id_rsa")
1550

Changes in 1.7.5 (released 03/09/2007)

  • ll.url.Resource now has a method encoding that returns None (for “encoding unknown”).

Changes in 1.7.4 (released 03/08/2007)

  • ll.url.SshConnections now supports the identity parameter. This can be used to specify the filename to be used as the identity file (private key) for authentication.

Changes in 1.7.3 (released 02/22/2007)

  • ll.url.SshConnection now has a new method close which can be used to shut down the communication channel. As a SshConnection no longer stores a reference to the context, this means that ssh connections are shut down immediately after the end of the context in which they are stored. This avoids a problem with hanging threads.

Changes in 1.7.2 (released 02/02/2007)

  • Fixed a bug in ll.url._import.

Changes in 1.7.1 (released 01/24/2007)

  • ll.astyle has been updated to the current trunk version of IPython.
  • As the new module is deprecated, use types instead.

Changes in 1.7 (released 11/23/2006)

  • Fixed a bug in the user switching in ll.daemon.Daemon.
  • Added a new action class GetAttrAction to ll.make. This action gets an attribute of its input object.

Changes in 1.6.1 (released 11/22/2006)

  • ll.make.ModuleAction now puts a real filename into the modules __file__ attribute, so that source code can be displayed in stacktraces.
  • ll.astyle has been fixed to work with the current trunk version of IPython.

Changes in 1.6 (released 11/08/2006)

  • ll.url now supports ssh URLs which are files on remote hosts. This requires py.execnet. Most of the file data and metadata handling has been rewritten to support the requirements of ssh URLs.
  • ll.make.ModeAction and ll.make.OwnerAction are subclasses of ll.make.ExternalAction now. This means they will execute even in “infoonly” mode.
  • Fixed a bug in ll.make.JoinAction.get.
  • Remove the pid file for ll.sisyphus.Job when a KeyboardInterrupt happens and we're running on Python 2.5.
  • Fixed a longstanding bug in ll.sisyphus.Job which resulted in the pid file not being written in certain situations.
  • ll.daemon.Daemon now allows to switch the group too.

Changes in 1.5 (released 09/24/2006)

  • ll.make.XISTTextAction is compatible to XIST 2.15 now.
  • The functions ll.url.Dirname and ll.url.Filename have been removed (use ll.url.Dir and ll.url.File instead).
  • The methods ll.url.URL.isLocal and ll.url.URL.asFilename have been removed (use ll.url.URL.islocal and ll.url.URL.local instead).

Changes in 1.4 (released 08/23/2006)

  • A new module has been added: ll.daemon can be used on UNIX to fork a daemon running.

Changes in 1.3.2 (released 07/25/2006)

  • ll.make.ModuleAction now normalizes line feeds, so that this action can now be used directly on Windows too.

Changes in 1.3.1 (released 07/06/2006)

  • An option showinfoonly has been added to ll.make.Project (defaulting to False). This option determines whether actions that run in infoonly mode are reported or not.

Changes in 1.3 (released 06/28/2006)

  • ll.make has been rewritten. Now there's no longer a distinction between Targets and Actions. Actions can be chained more easily and creating an action and registering it with the project are two separate steps. Actions can no longer be shared, as each action stores its own input actions (but output actions are not stored). “Ids” have been renamed to “keys” (and DBID/OracleID to DBKey/OracleKey). ImportAction has been renamed to ModuleAction and can now turn any string into a module.
  • In ll.url modification dates for local files now include microseconds (if the OS supports it).
  • A class Queue has been added to ll.misc which provides FIFO queues.
  • A decorator withdoc has been added to ll.misc that sets the docstring on the function it decorates.
  • setuptools is now supported for installation.

Changes in 1.2 (released 12/13/2005)

  • None is now allowed as a proper data object in ll.make actions.
  • ll.xpit now supports conditionals (i.e. the new processing instruction targets if, elif, else and endif. Now there must be a space after the target name.

Changes in 1.1.1 (released 11/15/2005)

  • Fixed a bug in ll.make.Project.buildwithargs.

Changes in 1.1 (released 10/31/2005)

  • ll.make.TOXICAction no longer takes an encoding argument in the constructor, but works on unicode strings directly.
  • Two new actions (DecodeAction and EncodeAction) have been added to ll.make.

Changes in 1.0.2 (released 10/24/2005)

  • Fixed a bug in ll.make.Project.destroy that broke the recreate method.

Changes in 1.0.1 (released 10/18/2005)

  • Fixed a bug in ll.make.Project.__contains__.

Changes in 1.0 (released 10/13/2005)

  • This package now contains the following modules, that have been distributed as separate packages previously: ansistyle, color, make, misc (which contains the stuff from the old ll package), sisyphus, url and xpit.
  • ll.misc.Iterator now has a method get that will return a default value when the iterator doesn't have the appropriate item.
  • In ll.make the output has been fixed: The showactionfull flag is checked before the showaction flag and target id's will always be output in this mode.
