Change & Version Information

The following is a summary of changes and improvements to eulexistdb. New features in each version should be listed, with any necessary information about installation or upgrade notes.

0.20

• Updated and tested for compatibility with eXist-db 2.2
• Improved eulexistdb.query.QuerySet efficiency when retrieving results (now retrieves chunked results using eXist REST API, making fewer requests to the server)
• Simple xml-based query syntax now supported via eulexistdb.query.XmlQuery
• Updated for compatibility with current versions of Django
• Now uses requests <http://docs.python-requests.org/> for REST API access and as XML-RPC transport for improved handling and connection pooling.
• New custom django-debug-toolbar panel to view existdb xqueries used to generate a django page.

0.19.2

• Unittest2 and Django test runner are now optional when using testutils.

0.19.1

• Basic support for preceding/following/preceding-sibling/following-sibling queries when returning additional fields from a query via XmlModel.
• Bugfix: support xml returns for xpaths ending with node() or *

0.19

• New method for sorting a eulexistdb.query.QuerySet by a raw XPath, for those cases when the desired sort xpath cannot be specified as an xmlmap field: eulexistdb.query.QuerySet.order_by_raw()
• The Django manage.py script for managing eXist-DB index configuration files now takes optional username and password credentials, for use with sites that run in guest mode or with limited access.
• bugfix: QuerySet greater than and less than filters no longer assume numeric values should be treated as numbers, to allow comparison of string values of numbers.
• bugfix: Xquery now correctly generates xqueries with more than one where statement.

0.18

• New filters and operators supported on eulexistdb.query.QuerySet: * exists - filter on the presence of absence of a node * comparison operators gt, gte, lt, lte
• Support for excluding documents using all existing filters with new method eulexistdb.query.QuerySet.exclude().

0.17

• Support for restricting xqueries to a single document in eulexistdb.query.QuerySet with document_path filter.

• Development requirements can now be installed as an optional requirement of the eulexistdb package (pip install "eulexistdb[dev]").
• Unit tests have been updated to use nose
• Provides a nose plugin to set up and tear down an eXist database collection for tests, as an alternative to the custom test runners.
