What’s New In FormEncode 1.2.5

This article explains the latest changes in FormEncode version 1.2.5 as compared to its predecessor, FormEncode 1.2.4.

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• Superceded news with whatsnew documents that will be archived for each version.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