Flask-classful v0.14.0

Flask-Classful v0.14.0 is the most significant release version since we decided to fork Flask-Classy in August 2015 to continue the project development. To be honest, this release also has the most community contribution yet. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved, without your support and contribution, releasing this version is impossible.

Community support

What’s new?

So what’s new with this release?

We have released Flask-Classful v0.6.11, v0.7.0, v0.7.1, v0.8.0, v0.9.0, v0.10.0, v0.11.0, v0.12.0, v0.13.0, v0.13.1 since the fork, but mostly for bug fixes and small improvements.

v0.14.0 introduces a lot of exciting changes that you’d love to use it right away. These are some of the most exciting changes:

  • Type hints support for py3
  • base_class introduced
  • Add options passing to werkzeug.Routing.Rule from register function
  • Enable using custom decorators in FlaskView
  • Should allow specifying excluded methods from becoming routes
  • Better representations
  • Docker workflow along with teracy-dev for better dev setup

You should check out the changelog and the docs for more detailed information:

Lessons learned?

We released v0.14.0 without breaking changes notice and migration docs which hurt our users from upgrading. From now on, we will avoid introducing breaking changes but should add deprecated warnings before breaking things for the next version releases.

v0.14.1 is on its way to fix this problem by updating the changelog and docs.

So rest assured and enjoy the release :–).

What’s next?

We created a roadmap release for v0.15.0 and we’re waiting for the community feedbacks and ideas for it.

We will add more sample projects, some projects with integration with other popular libraries to create top-notch REST APIs. If you have such projects to be promoted, please let us know then.

Enjoy and happy hacking!
