Bumped the project version to 0.3.9 in preparation for the next release. Adjusted .gitignore to properly ignore /dist/ directory. No major functionality changes expected.
Added URL encoding for member usernames to prevent errors with special characters in profile and Instructables URLs. Improved code readability by including docstrings for route functions, and refined HTML templates to conditionally display member location only if it exists. Updated the project version to 0.3.8.
Replaced the cron job for updating data with a background
thread that runs every 5 minutes within the Flask app. Updated
version to 0.3.7.
This change ensures data is refreshed regularly without
external dependencies like cron, improving deployment
simplicity and reliability.
Introduced markdown rendering for the privacy policy alongside plain text support. This change enriches the presentation of the privacy policy by allowing markdown-formatted files. To facilitate this, the markdown2 library was added as a dependency, and the logic in the privacy policy route was adjusted to prioritize `.md` files over `.txt` when available. This update also includes a minor version bump and the addition of a markdown-related entry to `.gitignore`. These changes enhance the flexibility and user experience by supporting more visually structured privacy policies.
The removal of the default privacy file path (`privacy.txt`) from the environment configuration encourages explicit file path specification, accommodating the new markdown feature more seamlessly.
Incremented the project version in pyproject.toml to release new features and fixes. This version bump includes performance improvements and bug fixes that enhance the overall stability of the structables package.
Incremented the project version to 0.3.4 in pyproject.toml, preparing for a new release. This version bump reflects the latest minor fixes and improvements.
Increase the version of structables to 0.3.3 in preparation for a new release. This version bump reflects recent enhancements and bug fixes. It ensures users have access to the latest features and improvements in the structables package.
Increased structables project version in pyproject.toml to reflect the latest updates and improvements added. This version increment is critical for package management and distribution, ensuring users receive the most recent features, bug fixes, and performance enhancements.
Incremented the project version in pyproject.toml to release minor fixes and improvements. This version update ensures users have access to the latest enhancements and bug fixes, maintaining the smooth and efficient operation of the Structables package.
Introduce dynamic loading of project data and streamlined configuration management. This update modularizes the codebase, separating routes and utilities for improved maintainability and scalability. It also adds a new configuration system to manage environment variables more efficiently, ensuring a seamless setup process for different environments. The refactor includes the addition of Typesense API key retrieval for enhanced search capabilities and the initialization of the application with environment-specific settings, providing a foundation for further feature development and optimization.
The change underscores a shift towards a more maintainable and scalable architecture, setting the stage for future enhancements and features. By organizing the route and utility functions into separate modules, the codebase becomes easier to navigate and extend. The new config management approach centralizes settings, aiding in the smooth adaptation to varying deployment conditions. Additionally, the introduction of dynamic project data loading aims to keep the content fresh and relevant, improving the user experience.
This commit marks a significant step in the project's evolution, streamlining its structure and paving the way for continuous improvement and growth.
Introduced `unslugify` function to expand search capabilities by generating possible original titles from slugs, allowing for a broader search when matching project channels. This function is utilized in the `project_list` method to attempt queries with different variants of a channel's name, enhancing the likelihood of matching user-desired content. The update optimizes search functionality and user experience by accommodating varied naming conventions.
Version incremented to 0.2.2 in project metadata to reflect new feature addition and improvements.
Incremented the project version to 0.2.1, preparing for a new release with minor improvements and bug fixes. Additionally, refined the .gitignore file to explicitly include the distribution directory, ensuring build artifacts are not accidentally committed to version control. This step aligns with best practices for Python project maintenance and distribution.
Migrated project dependencies and metadata into a newly added `pyproject.toml`, aligning with modern Python packaging practices. Removed `requirements.txt` as dependencies are now specified in the unified project configuration. Restructured the project by moving Python code, static assets, and templates into a `src/structables` directory to encapsulate project components better and facilitate packaging. Moreover, refactor `main.py` to read environment variables earlier, streamline argument parsing, and ensure configurations are correctly applied before the Flask app initialization. This reorganization supports better project scalability, simplifies the build process, and enhances maintainability by consolidating project configurations and dependencies.
Note: The usage of `pyproject.toml` requires tools that support PEP 518 and might necessitate updates to CI/CD pipelines or developer workflows.
