five.pt 0.4

Five bridges and patches to use Chameleon with Zope 2.

Overview
========

The five.pt package brings the Chameleon template engine to Zope
2. It's a drop-in replacement, providing bridges to the most common
API.

Support for browser pages, viewlets and viewlet managers is included.

Usage
-----

To enable Chameleon, simply include the ZCML configuration::

<include package="five.pt" />

Tempates may be instantiated directly. Here's an example of a browser
view which uses a view page template::

from Products.Five import BrowserView
from five.pt.pagetemplate import ViewPageTemplateFile

class SimpleView(BrowserView):
index = ViewPageTemplateFile('simple.pt')

Other template classes are available, see the ``pagetemplate``
module.

For general information about Chameleon, see

Changelog
=========

five.pt 0.4 (released 2/13/2009)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Fixed issue where the ``template`` parameter to a viewlet manager
directive was effectively ignored. [malthe]

- Fixed acquisition-wrapping issue with the (patched) bound template
class (could cause infinite loop due to cyclic acquisition
chain). [malthe]

- Moved evaluate_path and evaluate_exists over to ``z3c.pt``, adding
support for global ``path()`` and ``exists()`` functions for use in
``python:`` expressions to it (LP #317967). [sidnei]

five.pt 0.3 (released 12/17/2008)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Use bobo traversal if ``OFS.interfaces.ITraversable`` interface is
