WebHelpers 1.2 has been released. This version uses MarkupSafe, which is an implementation of ``literal`` and ``escape`` that's more secure and has a C speedup for escape. Pylons and Mako have also switched to MarkupSafe, so if you're on Pylons 1.0.1 you already have it.
The other changes are all minor: - webhelpers.html.tags.text(): add ``type`` argument for new HTML 5 input types. - webhelpers.html.tags.form(): suppress the "id" attribute on hidden fields generated by this helper. This prevents ID clashes if the page contains multiple forms. - webhelpers.html.tools.button_to(): preserve case of "method" arg for XHTML compatibility. - webhelpers.text.urlify(): urlencode result in case it contains special chars like "?". - webhelpers.util.update_params(): bugfix re existing query params. Also, support multiple values per param. There was an unannounced release of WebHelpers 1.1 which contained a licensing fix for Fedora. The ``_jsmin`` module was removed because Fedora's lawyers consider it non-free, and thus ineligible for their distribution. The minify helper was changed to use the external ``jsmin`` package if it's installed, otherwise to leave Javascript unchanged. This does not affect CSS minification. (The ``jsmin`` package contains a newer version of the same code, and has the same non-free license. The license contains a clause, "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." This is considered a restriction on use, and could lead to trivial harassment because there's no legal definition of Good and Evil. Both Fedora and I asked the author to change the license but he refused. Debian and other distros have a similar policy as Fedora, so they could all have ended up modifying or dropping WebHelpers if the module weren't deleted upstream.) The new version is available in PyPI, and the docs will be updated as soon as Ben has a chance to update webhelpers.groovie.org.
