askama v0.10.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-06-30 // over 3 years ago
  • ๐Ÿ“š After 5 months of development, I'm happy to announce the availability of version 0.10 of Askama, the type-safe, compiled Jinja-like template engine for Rust. The major (breaking) change in this release is that the framework integrations, which were previously included in the main crate behind feature flags, have now been moved into 4 separate crates; a new integration with the warp web framework is also shipped in a separate askama_warp crate. If you use an integration, you should now only depend on the integration crate, which re-exports content from the askama crate as well as any integration symbols. Finally, @cetra3 has created a book book which should make navigating the documentation much better.

    โฌ†๏ธ Upgrade notes:

    • Move integration code into askama_actix, askama_gotham, askama_iron and askama_rocket crates
    • โšก๏ธ Update Gotham integration to version 0.4

    Other changes:

    • ๐Ÿ“š Move documentation into a new book (#332, thanks to @Cetra)
    • โž• Add integration for the warp web framework, as an askama_warp crate (#290, thanks to @aeons)

Previous changes from v0.9.0

  • ๐Ÿš€ After 11 months of development, I'm happy to announce the availability of version 0.8 of Askama, the type-safe, compiled Jinja-like template engine for Rust. This has been a long release cycle; mostly I've spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out problems with how to manage Askama's built-in integrations. In the end, 0.9.0 shipped with the integrations problems unsolved, but they were solved shortly thereafter.
