Cement

The framework likes to re-use code by using lots of shared libraries and plugins.

What is new in this release:

• New Features:
• Added support for colorized logging.
• Added support for Python with statement.
• Added support to define/register hooks and handlers via CementApp.Meta.
• Added ability to disable Cement framework logging via CementApp.Meta.framework_logging = False.
• Added experimental support for reloading configurations anytime config files and/or plugin config files are modified. Optional extension ext_reload_config.
• Fixed Bug:
• Added work-around for scenario where an app wants to support arbitrary positional argument with a value of default. By default, this will attempt to explicitly call the default command rather than using default as the argument. This fix adds CementBaseController.Meta.default_func allowing the developer to override the name of the default function that is called if no matching sub-command is passed.
• Incompatible:
• No longer require explicit CementApp.Meta.base_controller if a controller with the label of base is registered. This is potentially backward in-compatible in that previously CementBaseController.Meta.label defaulted to base. It now defaults to None, which makes more sense but will break for any controllers that have not explicitly set a label of base.
