Django-compressor

----

- Created new parser, HtmlParser, based on the stdlib HTMLParser module.

- Added a new default AutoSelectParser, which picks the LxmlParser if lxml
is available and falls back to HtmlParser.

- Use unittest2 for testing goodness.

- Fixed YUI JavaScript filter argument handling.

- Updated bundled jsmin to use version by Dave St.Germain that was refactored for speed.

------

- Fixed Closure filter argument handling.

------

- Fixed options mangling in CompilerFilter initialization.

- Fixed tox configuration.

- Extended documentation and README.

- In the compress command ignore hidden files when looking for templates.

- Restructured utilities and added staticfiles compat layer.

- Restructered parsers and added a html5lib based parser.

------

- Minor bugfixes that caused the compression not working reliably in
development mode (e.g. updated files didn't trigger a new compression).

------

- Fixed staticfiles support to also use its finder API to find files during
development -- when the static files haven't been collected in
``STATIC_ROOT``.

- Fixed regression with the ``COMPRESS`` setting, pre-compilation and
staticfiles.

----

Major improvements and a lot of bugfixes, some of which are:

- New precompilation support, which allows compilation of files and
hunks with easily configurable compilers before calling the actual
output filters. See the
:attr:`~django.conf.settings.COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS` for more details.

- New staticfiles support. With the introduction of the staticfiles app
to Django 1.3, compressor officially supports finding the files to
compress using the app's finder API. Have a look at the documentation
about :ref:`remote storages <remote_storages>` in case you want to use
those together with compressor.

- New ``compress`` management command which allows pre-running of what the
compress template tag does.

- Various performance improvements by better caching and mtime cheking.

- Deprecated ``COMPRESS_LESSC_BINARY`` setting because it's now
superseded by the :attr:`~django.conf.settings.COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS`
setting. Just make sure to use the correct mimetype when linking to less
files or adding inline code and add the following to your settings::

COMPRESS_PRECOMPILERS = (
('text/less', 'lessc {infile} {outfile}'),
)

- Added cssmin_ filter (``compressor.filters.CSSMinFilter``) based on
Zachary Voase's Python port of the YUI CSS compression algorithm.

- Reimplemented the dog-piling prevention.

- Make sure the CssAbsoluteFilter works for relative paths.

- Added inline render mode. See :ref:`usage <usage>` docs.

- Added ``mtime_cache`` management command to add and/or remove all mtimes
from the cache.

- Moved docs to Read The Docs: https://django-compressor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

- Added optional ``compressor.storage.GzipCompressorFileStorage`` storage
backend that gzips of the saved files automatically for easier deployment.

- Reimplemented a few filters on top of the new
``compressor.filters.base.CompilerFilter`` to be a bit more DRY.

- Added tox based test configuration, testing on Django 1.1-1.3 and Python
2.5-2.7.
