Wagtail 0.6 release notes¶

Project template and start project command¶

Wagtail now has a basic project template built in to make starting new projects much easier.

To use it, install wagtail onto your machine and run wagtail start project_name.

Django 1.7 support¶

Wagtail can now be used with Django 1.7.

Minor features¶

• A new template tag has been added for reversing URLs inside routable pages. See The routablepageurl template tag.

• RoutablePage can now be used as a mixin. See wagtail.contrib.wagtailroutablepage.models.RoutablePageMixin.

• MenuItems can now have bundled JavaScript

• Added the register_admin_menu_item hook for registering menu items at startup. See Hooks

• Added a version indicator into the admin interface (hover over the wagtail to see it)

• Added Russian translation

Bug fixes¶

• Page URL generation now returns correct URLs for sites that have the main ‘serve’ view rooted somewhere other than ‘/’.

• Search results in the page chooser now respect the page_type parameter on PageChooserPanel.

• Rendition filenames are now prevented from going over 60 chars, even with a large focal_point_key.

• Child relations that are defined on a model’s superclass (such as the base Page model) are now picked up correctly by the page editing form, page copy operations and the replace_text management command.

• Tags on images and documents are now committed to the search index immediately on saving.

All features deprecated in 0.4 have been removed¶

See: Deprecated features

Search signal handlers have been moved¶

If you have an import in your urls.py file like from wagtail.wagtailsearch import register_signal_handlers, this must now be changed to from wagtail.wagtailsearch.signal_handlers import register_signal_handlers
