Booby-ng

--------------------

* Added new type: URL.
* Added new property to fields: Description.
* Added the optional use os UstraJSON, ultra fast JSON serializer.
* Added 'properties' classmethod to Models. With it, you can get the fields defined in a Model, without instantiate it.
* Improved validation. Now, types derived from basic types has strong checks: int, fload, bool, string, list.
* Improved compatibility with Python 3.

* The ``List`` encoder no longers encodes models. To achieve the old behavior pass the ``Model`` encoder as an argument instead::

class User(Model):
tokens = fields.Field(encoders=[encoders.List(encoders.Model())])

Highlights
^^^^^^^^^^

* Added a ``Collection`` field that works like ``Embedded`` for lists of models::

class User(Model):
tokens = fields.Collection(Token)

user = User({
'tokens': [
{
'key': 'xxx',
'secret': 'yyy'
}
]
})

user.tokens.append(Token(key='zzz', secret='www'))
user.validate()

See `the docs <http://booby.readthedocs.org/en/latest/fields.htmlfields.Collection>`_ for more info.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* The `List` validator now accepts `None` as a valid value allowing not required list fields. Before this a field with a `List` validator couldn't be `None`.

Highlights
^^^^^^^^^^

* The `Model` class now defines a `decode` and `encode` methods with serialization/deserialization support.
* A `Field` now can receive lists of callable objects, `encoders` and `decoders`, to perform serialization/deserialization.
* Added a `List` field that can be used to create fields containing lists of objects (even models).
* Datetime validator, encoder, and decoder were added.

--------------------

Highlights
^^^^^^^^^^

* Added readable `Field` instances repr. See `issue 20 <https://github.com/jaimegildesagredo/booby/issues/20>`_.
* Added readable `Model` classes and instances repr.

--------------------

Highlights
^^^^^^^^^^

* The `Email` validator now only performs a basic sanity check instead of the more restrictive previous check. See `issue 17 <https://github.com/jaimegildesagredo/booby/issues/17>`_.
* The `List` validator now accepts any object that implements the `list` interface (collections.MutableSequence). See `issue 18 <https://github.com/jaimegildesagredo/booby/issues/18>`_.
* Any object implementing the `dict` interface (collections.MutableMapping) can be used as a value for an `Embedded` field. See `issue 18 <https://github.com/jaimegildesagredo/booby/issues/18>`_.
* When iterating a `Model` object all objects implementing the `list` interface are treated as lists. See `issue 18 <https://github.com/jaimegildesagredo/booby/issues/18>`_.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Now field `validators` must be callable objects. Before this release validators had a `validate` method that is not longer used to perform a validation. This change only affects to custom user validators with a `validate` method.

Highlights
^^^^^^^^^^

* The `FieldError` exception now is raised only with the field name as argument. See `issue 12 <https://github.com/jaimegildesagredo/booby/issues/12>`_.
* Fields `default` argument callables can now optionally receive the model as argument.
* Added the `inspection` module which provides the `get_fields` and `is_model` functions as a public api to get access to `models` fields and type validation.
