Gears

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

- Support for Python 3.2 was added (Thanks to `Artem Gluvchynsky`_).

.. note::

SlimIt and cssmin compressors don't support Python 3 yet. But you can
use compressors from gears-uglifyjs_ and gears-clean-css_ packages
instead.

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

- Public assets storage was simplified. There is no registry for them anymore.
They are set using ``public_assets`` param of
:class:`~gears.environment.Environment` now.

Also, public assets handling was slightly improved. ``public_assets`` must be
a list or tuple of callables or regexps now. Default value::

DEFAULT_PUBLIC_ASSETS = (
lambda path: not any(path.endswith(ext) for ext in ('.css', '.js')),
r'^css/style\.css$',
r'^js/script\.js$',
)

``css/style.css``, ``js/script.js`` and all assets that aren't compiled to
.css or .js are public by default.

- Added ``require_tree`` directive. It works like ``require_directory``, but
also collects assets from subdirectories recursively.

- Node.js-dependent compilers (CoffeeScript, Handlebars, Stylus and LESS) and
compressors (UglifyJS and clean-css) have been moved into separate packages
(gears-coffeescript_, gears-handlebars_, gears-stylus_, gears-less_,
gears-uglifyjs_, gears-clean-css_), as they required some additional work to
make them work (install some node.js modules, point your app to them, etc.).
Now all these packages already include all required node.js modules, so you
don't need to worry about installing them yourself.

- SASS and SCSS compilers have been removed since they did nothing to really
support SASS and SCSS compilation.

- Support for Python 2.5 was dropped.

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

- Added ``depend_on`` directive. It is useful when you need to specify files
that affect an asset, but not to include them into bundled asset or to
include them using compilers. E.g., if you use ``import`` functionality in
some CSS pre-processors (Less or Stylus).

- Main extensions (``.js`` or ``.css``) can be omitted now in asset file names.
E.g., you can rename ``application.js.coffee`` asset to
``application.coffee``.

- Asset requirements are restricted by MIME type now, not by extension. E.g.,
you can require Handlebars templates or JavaScript assets from CoffeeScript
now.

- Added file-based cache.

- Environment cache is pluggable now.

- Fixed cache usage in assets.

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

- Fix ``require_directory`` directive, so it handles removed/renamed/added
assets correctly. Now it adds required directory to asset's dependencies set.

- Added asset dependencies. They are not included to asset's bundled source,
but if dependency is expired, then asset is expired. Any file of directory
can be a dependency.

- Cache is now asset agnostic, so other parts of Gears are able to use it.

- Added support for SlimIt_ as JavaScript compressor.

- Added support for cssmin_ as CSS compressor.

- Refactored compressors, compilers and processors. They are all subclasses of
:class:`~gears.asset_handler.BaseAssetHandler` now.

- Added config for Travis CI.

- Added some docs.

- Added more tests.

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

- Added missing files to MANIFEST.in
