Kotti

Kotti can run on any database supported by SQLAlchemy and can easily be configured with the help of INI files.

It is a CMS with a small codebase, but capable of handling large scale projects with ease.

This is thanks to its support for custom content types, multi-database environments, and internationalized projects.

As with most CMSs these days, Kotti also includes an administration panel from where content can be added and later edited.

Instructions on how to install and use can be found in the project's README file.

• Fix tag support for files and images.
• Upgrade to Twitter Bootstrap 2.1.

• Added search and related setting kotti.search_content.
• Added subscriber to set cache headers based on caching rules. See also related setting kotti.caching_policy_chooser.

What is new in version 0.6.3:

• Added tag support. All content objects now have tags. They can be added in the UI using the "jQuery UI Tag-it!" widget.
• Fixed a bug with file download performance.

What is new in version 0.6.0:

• Add Japanese translation.
• Enforce lowercase user names and email with registration and login.
• Moved SQLAlchemy related stuff from kotti.util into kotti.sqla.

What is new in version 0.5.2:

• Populators no longer need to call ``transaction.commit()`` themselves.

What is new in version 0.5.1:

• Internationalize user interface. Add Portuguese as the first translation.
• A new add menu allows for a more intuitive adding of items in the CMS.
• Refine Node.copy. No longer copy over local roles per default.

What is new in version 0.5.0:

• Move Kotti's default user interface to use Twitter Bootstrap 2.
• Add a new 'File' content type.
• Add CSRF protection to some forms.
• Remove Kotti's FormController in favor of using pyramid_deform.

What is new in version 0.4.5:

• The difference is that Kotti's version will set the "authorization context" to be the context that you pass to 'has_permission'. The effect is that 'list_groups' will return a more correct list of local roles, i.e. the groups in the given context instead of 'request.context'.
• Added a template ('forbidden.pt') for when user is logged in but still getting HTTPForbidden.

What is new in version 0.2.a1:

• Improve database schema for Nodes. Split Node class into Node and Content.
• This change is backward incompatible in that existing content types in your code will need to subclass Content instead of Node. The example in the docs has been updated. Also, the underlying database schema has changed.
• Improve user database hashing and local roles storage.
• Compatibility fix for Pyramid 1.2.

What is new in version 0.1.1:

• Fixed an installation issue with ``colander`` and ``dependency_links``.

What is new in version 0.1:

• Add persistent settings, which allow the overriding of registry settings and carry along with them the version of the last update.

• Add 'in_navigation' flag for all Nodes to control whether or not it appears in the navigation.
• Improvements related to writing add-ons.

What is new in version 0.1a8:
