What’s New In FormEncode 1.2

This article explains the latest changes in FormEncode version 1.2.5 as compared to its predecessor, FormEncode 1.2.4. Further releases in the 1.2.x series will be solely bug fix releases. The next major version will be the 1.3.x series.

Project Changes

• New official BitBucket code repository at formencode/official-formencode.

Feature Additions

• The method field_is_empty was added to

  formencode.validators.FormValidator so subclasses can use the same logic for emptiness and users can override it if necessary.

Backwards Incompatibilities

• The view attribute is no longer considered special when scanning Compound

  validators and Schemas for validators.

• The formencode.validators.RequireIfMissing and RequireIfPresent form

  validators now use the same empty/missing logic as the is_empty method of formencode.api.FancyValidator.

• Validators can say if they accept containers (list, tuple, set, etc) and schema will

  actively refuse those values if a validator does not allow them.

Documentation Enhancements

• Superceded news with whatsnew documents that will be archived for each

  version. Archived all news prior to 1.2.5 in What’s New In FormEncode 0 to 1.2.4.
