= Release Notes for Trac [milestone:0.11] ''Genshi'' Release = '''Preliminary Note:''' - Trac 0.11 is still in heavy development and undergoing a lot of changes. == Highlights == * New template engine for generating content ([http://genshi.edgewall.org Genshi]) * New default syntax highlighter ([http://pygments.pocoo.org Pygments]) * Improved user preferences subsystem, among which the possibility for an user to select his time zone * The WebAdmin plugin is now an integral part of Trac * Blame support in the repository browser == Detailed User Visible Changes == === Time zone support === Each user can select which time zone they want timestamps to be presented in. If [http://pytz.sf.net pytz] is installed a complete list of time zones will be available, otherwise Trac will fall back on a shorter list from an internal time zone implementation. === setuptools is now used for the packaging === TBD. See log:sandbox/setuptools === Improved Syntax Highlighting === Trac can now use the ''[http://pygments.pocoo.org Pygments]'' syntax highlighter out-of-the-box. This is a much nicer syntax highlighter than the one previously supported (SilverCity, Enscript and PHP). === Lots of minor improvements === ... === Caveats === - The `[trac] base_url` setting is now mandatory for generating correct URLs outside the context of a user request. - The `[trac] templates_dir` setting is considered harmful... You probably need to remove that setting when you browse Trac and get the following plain text error: {{{ TemplateNotFound: Template "error.html" not found }}} == Developer-visible changes == === Genshi template engine === Trac now uses the [http://genshi.edgewall.org Genshi] template engine instead of ClearSilver. Plugins using the latter will still be supported in Trac 0.11, but probably not longer. === `datetime` everywhere === Trac used to handle time informations as `int` timestamps. Now we're using `datetime` objects. === Internal API changes === A detailed view of the API changes since 0.10.x can be found in ["TracDev/ApiChanges/0.11"]. == Acknowledgements == Many thanks to the growing number of people who have, and continue to, support the project. Also our thanks to all people providing feedback and bug reports that helps us make Trac better, easier to use and more effective. Without your invaluable help, Trac would not evolve. Thank you all. Finally, we offer hope that Trac will prove itself useful to like-minded programmers around the world, and that this release will prove an improvement over the last version. Please let us know. :-) /The Trac Team http://trac.edgewall.org/
