  • Add opt-in patch for extended type handling in xmlrpc. Contributed by @lddubeau in PR #6, resolves #4
  • Removed overwrite option from eulexistdb.ExistDB.load (no longer applicable under the REST API, and misleading) #9
  • Improved django-debug-toolbar integration. #7, #8
  • Updated Existdb.DB initialization parameters to restore support for xmlrpc-style urls with username and password used in previous versions of eulexistdb. #10
  • Bugfix: xquery xpath prep now handles nested function calls
  • Updated unit tests so they can be run with and without django, in order to test that eulexistdb works properly without django.
  • Configured unit tests on travis-ci to test with and without django.

0.20

  • NOTE: Existdb.DB initialization parameters has changed; server url is no longer expected to include full xmlrpc path.
  • 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

0.17

0.16

  • Development requirements can now be installed as an optional requirement of the eulexistdb package (pip install "eulexistdb[dev]").
