History

0.12

• Fixes an exception when reporting on an error where multiple drivers have the same name (25, solution provided by clayg).
• Switch packaging to use pbr.
• Add map_method() API to controllers.

0.11

• Fixes logging configuration under Python 2.6 with a NullHandler. (2)

0.10

• Adds propagate_map_exceptions parameter to all of the extension managers which specifies whether exceptions are propagated up through the map call or logged and then ignored. The default is to preserve the current behavior of logging and ignoring exceptions. Christopher Yeoh <cyeoh@au1.ibm.com>

0.9

• Add name_order parameter to ~stevedore.named.NamedExtensionManager to coerce map into processing the extensions in the order they are named when the manager is created, instead of the random order they may have been loaded. Contributed by Daniel Rocco.
• Change the ~stevedore.dispatch.NamedDispatchExtensionManager to ignore missing extensions (14).
• Add __getitem__ to ~stevedore.extension.ExtensionManager for looking up individual plugins by name (15).
• Start working on the tutorial, tutorial/index.
• Remove dependency on distribute, now that it is merged back into setuptools 0.7 (19).

0.8

• Ignore AssertionError exceptions generated when plugins are loaded.
• Update ~stevedore.named.NamedExtensionManager to check the name of a plugin before loading its code to avoid importing anything we are not going to use.

0.7.2

• Fix logging support for Python 2.6.

0.7.1

• Fix an issue with logging configuration.

0.7

• Add memoization to the entrypoint scanning code in ~stevedore.extension.ExtensionManager to avoid performance issues in situations where lots of managers are instantiated with the same namespace argument.

0.6

• Change the ~stevedore.enabled.EnabledExtensionManager to load the extension before calling the check function so the plugin can be asked if it should be enabled.

0.5

• Add ~stevedore.tests.manager.TestExtensionManager for writing tests for classes that use extension managers.

0.4

• Removed the name argument to plugin constructors.
• Added driver property to ~stevedore.driver.DriverManager.

0.3

• Added dispatch managers for selecting among a set of plugins at runtime instead of load time.
• Added __call__ method to ~stevedore.driver.DriverManager so it can be invoked in a more natural fashion for a single plugin.

0.2

• Added documentation

0.1

• First public release
