**CHANGES** for SIMPLEBLOG 0.5

:Author:        Peter A. Donis
:Release Date:  07 Oct 2012

Version 0.5
-----------

Added ``indexes`` extension to add alphabetical, chronological,
and/or key index pages to blog; these pages have links to all blog
entries in the appropriate order.

Added ``paginate`` extension to allow splitting sources with many
entries into multiple pages.

The ``title`` extension now caches entry titles.

Titles and headings for index pages are now configurable.

The template for container links (used by various extensions that
call the ``get_links`` API) is now configurable. (The API function
itself is now a method of the ``BlogExtension`` class.)

The ``feed`` extension now supports customized templates for the
unique ids that label entries and for the category elements of
entries.

You can now use hyphens instead of underscores in extension and
command names; the hyphens will be converted to underscores before
looking for extension or command modules (since module names must
be valid identifiers).

Version 0.4
-----------

Added ``timezone`` extension to make entry timestamps timezone-aware
(without this extension they are "naive" ``datetime`` objects).
Refactored entry class and timestamps extension APIs to enable this
extension to work easily. The ``timezone_name`` config setting lets
you explicitly declare your blog's timezone. This extension requires
the ``pytz`` library.

Added ``utc_timestamps`` config setting, to make entry timestamps
use UTC instead of the system's local timezone. This functionality is
only used if the ``timezone`` extension is not loaded; if that extension
is used, the ``utc_timestamps`` config is only used if there is no
explicit ``timezone_name`` config given, to tell the extension which
timezone to use (UTC or system local) when making "aware" ``datetime``
objects.

The ``render_static`` command now checks file sizes to determine if
pages are unchanged; it only compares the actual page data if the file
size is unchanged.

Version 0.3
-----------

All properties of entry objects are now either extendable or
configurable except for ``cachekey``, which needs to be hard-coded,
and ``source`` (see comments in the source code for discussion of
that one).

Properties loaded from config settings can now be declared in a
``config_vars`` class attribute, without having to write the
boilerplate property definition code each time.

Factored out ``simpleblog.run`` module for running commands, so
unnecessary code is not loaded in the interactive shell.

The template used for category links in the ``categories``
extension is now configurable.

Simpleblog now uses the ``setuputils`` helper module to automate
away the boilerplate in its ``setup.py`` script.

Version 0.2
-----------

JSON format is now supported for config and blog metadata files,
so the PyYAML package is no longer required (though it will still
be used if it is available).

Weekday and month names are now localized using the current locale;
also added support for long names.

Added support for archived feeds per RFC 5005. Only Atom feeds are
archived (RSS doesn't appear to support this).

Template files for feeds now have defaults in the ``simpleblog``
package, so you do not need to define them yourself.

Feed link templates are now loaded from template files instead of
being hard-coded in the Python source.

Markdown output format and "pretty-printing" of output are now
configurable.

Added another example blog.

Various minor fixes to remove potential bugs or improve code
portability.

Version 0.1
-----------

Initial release.
