Djangonaut Space

In December I wrote a few paragraphs about my decision to not run for the Django Steering Council, mentioning that I want to contribute in different ways.

I have offered to contribute to Djangonaut Space to do some mentoring. I’m already a bit stressed, but that’s normal and to be expected. I’ll probably have more to share about that in the close future!

Releases

• feincms-cookiecontrol 1.6: Removed the hardcoded dependency upon feincms3 and some additional code golfing. The cookie banner JavaScript is now back to <4KiB.
• django-curtains 0.7: Updated the CI job list and modernized the package somewhat, no code changes necessary. It’s good to release updated versions though just to show that it’s still actively maintained.
• django-prose-editor 0.10.3: Small CSS fixes and mainly updated TipTap/ProseMirror.
• django-imagefield 0.22: The updated version no longer autodeletes processed images; this wasn’t really a problem before but I was a little bit fearful that images are still referenced elsewhere and this change let’s me sleep better.
• feincms-oembed 2.0: Oembed support for FeinCMS 1 without actually depending upon the FeinCMS package itself. Still works.
• django-content-editor 7.2: The Region type is now hashable; this may be useful, or not.
• feincms3 5.3.1: I undeprecated the TemplateMixin because even though PageTypeMixin is nicer, sometimes all you need is a template selector.
