Change Log

0.4.1 released 2011-06-11

• fixed bw project command, it will now create a decent project file/folder skeleton, see example below.

• minimock’s 1.2.6 release breaks some usage of the library, “pin” dependency at 1.2.5

• add config option http_exception_handling, default behavior is unchanged

• add testing.runview() to make it easier to test views without a WSGI test runner (Werkzeug Client, WebTest TestApp)

Project skeleton will look like:
