Changelog

v1.2.1 (2012-02-16)

  • Backported a change from Django trunk that prevents openening too many files at once when running the collectstatic management command.

v1.2 (2012-02-12)

  • Added STATICFILES_IGNORE_PATTERNS setting to globally ignore files when running the collectstatic management command.
  • Refactored CachedFilesMixin and management command to only post process the collected files if really needed.
  • Added support for URL fragment to the CachedStaticFilesStorage.
  • Stopped using versiontools again as it caused installation time issues.

v1.1.2 (2011-08-25)

v1.1.1 (2011-08-22)

v1.1 (2011-08-18)

  • Pulled all changes from upstream Django:
    • static template tag to refer to files saved with the STATICFILES_STORAGE storage backend. It’ll use the storage url method and therefore supports advanced features such as serving files from a cloud service.
    • CachedStaticFilesStorage which caches the files it saves (when running the collectstatic management command) by appending the MD5 hash of the file’s content to the filename. For example, the file css/styles.css would also be saved as css/styles.55e7cbb9ba48.css
    • Added a staticfiles.storage.staticfiles_storage instance of the configured STATICFILES_STORAGE.
    • --clear option for the management command which clears the target directory (by default STATIC_ROOT) before collecting
    • Stop trying to show directory indexes in the included serve view.
    • Correctly pass kwargs to the URL patterns when using the static URL patterns helper.
  • Use sys.stdout in management command, not self.stdout which was only introduced in a later Django version.
  • Refactored AppSettings helper class to be only a proxy for Django’s settings object instead of a singleton on its own.
  • Updated list of supported Django versions: 1.2.X, 1.3.X and 1.4.X
  • Updated list of supported Python versions: 2.5.X, 2.6.X and 2.7.X

v1.0.1 (2011-03-28)

  • Fixed an encoding related issue in the tests.
  • Updated tox configuration to use 1.3 release tarball.
  • Extended docs a bit.

v1.0 (2011-03-23)

Note

django-staticfiles is a backport of the staticfiles app in Django contrib. If you’re upgrading from django-staticfiles < 1.0, you’ll need to make a few changes. See changes below.

  • Renamed StaticFileStorage to StaticFilesStorage.
  • Application files should now live in a static directory in each app (previous versions of django-staticfiles used the name media, which was slightly confusing).
  • The management commands build_static and resolve_static are now called collectstatic and findstatic.
  • The settings STATICFILES_PREPEND_LABEL_APPS and STATICFILES_MEDIA_DIRNAMES were removed.
  • The setting STATICFILES_RESOLVERS was removed, and replaced by the new STATICFILES_FINDERS setting.
  • The default for STATICFILES_STORAGE was renamed from staticfiles.storage.StaticFileStorage to staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage
  • If using runserver for local development (and the setting DEBUG setting is True), you no longer need to add anything to your URLconf for serving static files in development.

v0.3.4 (2010-12-25)

  • Minor documentation update.

v0.3.3 (2010-12-23)

Warning

django-staticfiles was added to Django 1.3 as a contrib app.

The django-staticfiles 0.3.X series will only receive security and data los bug fixes after the release of django-staticfiles 1.0. Any Django 1.2.X project using django-staticfiles 0.3.X and lower should be upgraded to use either Django 1.3’s staticfiles app or django-staticfiles >= 1.0 to profit from the new features and stability.

You may want to chose to use django-staticfiles instead of Django’s own staticfiles app since any new feature (additionally to those backported from Django) will be released first in django-staticfiles.

  • Fixed an issue that could prevent the build_static management command to fail if the destination storage doesn’t implement the listdir method.
  • Fixed an issue that caused non-local storage backends to fail saving the files when running build_static.

v0.3.2 (2010-08-27)

v0.3.1 (2010-08-21)

v0.3.0 (2010-08-18)

  • Added resolver API which abstract the way staticfiles finds files.
  • Added staticfiles.urls.staticfiles_urlpatterns to avoid the catch-all URLpattern which can make top-level urls.py slightly more confusing. From Brian Rosner.
  • Minor documentation changes
  • Updated testrunner to work with Django 1.1.X and 1.2.X.
  • Removed custom code to load storage backend.

v0.2.0 (2009-11-25)

  • Renamed build_media and resolve_media management commands to build_static and resolve_media to avoid confusions between Django’s use of the term “media” (for uploads) and “static” files.
  • Rework most of the internal logic, abstracting the core functionality away from the management commands.
  • Use file system storage backend by default, ability to override it with custom storage backend
  • Removed –interactive option to streamline static file resolving.
  • Added extensive tests
  • Uses standard logging

v0.1.2 (2009-09-02)

  • Fixed a typo in settings.py
  • Fixed a conflict in build_media (now build_static) between handling non-namespaced app media and other files with the same relative path.

v0.1.1 (2009-09-02)

  • Added README with a bit of documentation :)

v0.1.0 (2009-09-02)

  • Initial checkin from Pinax’ source.
  • Will create the STATIC_ROOT directory if not existent.
