| ########## PrettyTable 0.7 - Feb 17, 2013 ########### |
| |
| * Improved Python 2 and 3 compatibility (2.4-3.2). |
| * Improved support for non-Latin characters. Table widths should |
| now be calculated correctly for tables with e.g. Japanese text. |
| * Table contents can now be read in from a .csv file |
| * Table contents can now be read in from a DB-API compatible cursor |
| * Table contents can now be read in from a string containing a |
| HTML table (thanks to Christoph Robbert for submitting this patch!) |
| * new valign attribute controls vertical alignment of text when |
| some cells in a row have multiple lines of text and others don't. |
| (thanks to Google Code user maartendb for submitting this patch!) |
| * hrules attribute can now be set to HEADER, which draws a rule only |
| under the header row |
| * new vrules attribute controls drawing of vertical rules and can |
| be set to FRAME, ALL or NONE |
| * new header_style attribute controls formatting of text in table |
| headers and can be set to "cap", "title", "upper", "lower" or None |
| * Fixed a simple bug regarding validation of max_width (thanks to |
| Anthony Toole for pointing out this bug and providing a patch). |
| * Fixed a simple bug regarding initialisation of int_format value |
| for new tables (thanks to Ingo Schmiegel for pointing out this |
| bug!) |
| * Fixed a bug regarding some constructor keywords, such as "border", |
| being ignored (thanks to Google Code user antonio.s.messina for |
| reporting this bug). |
| |
| ########## PrettyTable 0.6 - May 5, 2012 ########## |
| |
| * Code is now simultaneously compatible with Python 2 and 3 |
| * Replaced all setter methods with managed attributes |
| * All styling options can now be set persistently as managed attributes |
| * Added "add_style" method to make setting style options easily |
| * Added "del_row", "clear_rows" and "clear" methods to facilitate |
| removal of data from table. |
| * Added "copy" method to facilitate cloning of a table. |
| * Removed caching functionality, which added complexity and fragility |
| for relatively little gain |
| * Removed methods that just printed strings produced by get_string and |
| get_html_string - just use inbuilt print! |
| * Improved unicode support (thanks to Google Code user ru.w31rd0 for |
| patch!) |
| * Added support for decimal and floating point number formatting |
| support (thanks to Google Code user willfurnass for the suggestion!) |
| * Added support for using a custom key sorting methods (thanks to |
| Google Code user amannijhawan for the suggestion!) |
| * Added support for line breaks in data (suggested and implemented by |
| Klein Stephane) |
| * Added support for max column widths (thanks to Tibor Arpas for the |
| suggestion!) |
| * Fixed table slicing |
| * Fixed bug where closing <tr/> tags in HTML tables were not printed |
| (thanks to Google Code user kehander for reporting this bug!) |
| * Fixed HTML table sorting bug (thanks to Google Code user dougbeal |
| for reporting this bug!) |
| * Fixed bug whereby changing field_names did not recompute widths |
| (thanks to Google Code user denilsonsa for reporting this bug!) |
| |
| ########## PrettyTable 0.5 - May 26, 2009 ########## |
| |
| * Fixed a bug whereby printing with headers=False and border=False |
| would introduce an extraneous newline. Thanks to Alexander Lamaison |
| for reporting this bug. |
| * When printing with headers=False, column widths will now be reduced |
| as appropriate in columns where the field name is wider than the |
| data. Thanks to Alexander Lamaison for suggesting this behaviour. |
| * Support for Unicode has improved. Thanks to Chris Clark for |
| submitting this improvement. |
| * The value of the "border" argument now correctly controls the |
| presence of a border when printing HTML tables with print_html or |
| get_html_string, instead of being incorrectly ignored. Thanks to |
| Chris Clark for fixing this. |
| * The print_html and get_html_string methods now accept an |
| "attributes" argument which is a dictionary of name/value pairs to be |
| placed inside the <table> tag (so you can, e.g. set class, name or id |
| values in order to style your table with CSS). Thanks to Chris Clark |
| for submitting this feature. |
| * The print_html and get_html_string methods now, by default, do their |
| best to match the various formatting options in their HTML output. |
| They use inline CSS to adjust the alignment of data in columns, the |
| padding widths of columns and in some cases the border settings. You |
| can give either method a "format=False" attribute to turn this |
| behaviour off if you want to do your own styling. With "format=False" |
| the methods print a "bare bones" table, similar to the default |
| behaviour in 0.4. |
| |
| ########## PrettyTable 0.4 - May 13, 2009 ########## |
| |
| * Added "add_column" method to enable building tables up column-by-column. |
| * Added "print_HTML" and "get_HTML_string" methods to enable HTML table |
| production. |
| * Added "set_border_chars" method to enable control over characters used to |
| draw the table border. |
| * Added "set_left_padding" and "set_right_padding" methods to allow |
| independent padding control for both sides of a column. |
| * Added "sortby" option to enable column sorting. |
| * Added "header" option to enable switching off field name printing at top of |
| table. |
| * Modified "hrules" option to enable greater control over presence of |
| horizontal lines. |
| * Added "border" option to enable switching off all line printing. |
| |
| Thanks to Tim Cera, Chris Clark, Alexander Lamaison for suggesting and helping |
| to test many of the new features in this release. |
| |
| ########## PrettyTable 0.3 - May 01, 2009 ########## |
| |
| * Added "padding_width" option to control the number of spaces between the |
| vertical line rules at the edges of a column and its content. This can be |
| set as a keyword argument to the constructor or after instantiation using |
| the "set_padding_width" method. The value is set to 1 by defaut. If your |
| table is too wide for a small screen with this value, setting it to 0 might |
| help you squeeze it in. |
| |
| Thanks to Chris Clark for contributing a patch against 0.2.1 to add this |
| feature! |
| |
| ########## PrettyTable 0.2.1 - April 29, 2009 ########## |
| |
| * Caching no longer breaks when using the "printt(fields=[...])" syntax. The |
| list of fields was not hashable and hence could not be used as a dictionary |
| key. I fixed this using the output of the "cPickle" module's "dumps" |
| function as the dictionary key instead. |
| * Horizontal lines are now the appropriate length when the above syntax is |
| used. |
| |
| Thanks to Julien Koesten for reporting these bugs and testing the fixes almost |
| immediately after the release of 0.2! |
| |
| ########## PrettyTable 0.2 - April 29, 2009 ########## |
| |
| * Added "get_string" method. |
| * Added "__str__" method (which just calls "get_string") to enable nice |
| "print x" syntax. |
| * Can now pass field names as a constructor argument. |
| * Return values of "get_string" are cached in a dictionary that is only |
| cleared after a call to "add_row" or something else which invalidates the |
| cache. |
| |
| ########## PrettyTable 0.1 - February 26, 2009 ######### |
| |
| * Original release |
