v2.3.0 (2014-04-07)

• Dependencies with new minimum versions:

  • Django >= 1.6, < 1.7
  • django-boostrap-form >= 3.1, < 3.2

• Dependencies with new maximum versions:

  • cssmin >= 0.1, < 0.3
  • cssselector >= 0.8, < 0.10
  • django-tastypie >= 0.9.13, < 0.12
  • Pillow >= 1.7, < 2.5

• Upgraded to Bootstrap 3, which gives way for a refreshed and more
  responsive/mobile-friendly design.

• Upgraded to Font Awesome 4.

• Upgraded to JQuery 2. IE6/7/8 are no longer supported. IE9 is the oldest IE version you can expect to work with comics.

• Moved comics list from bottom of each page to its own page in the top menu. This makes it more available on mobile clients, as well as to new users that don't know where to find the list after they've subscribed to their first comic.

• Use Moment.js to show time since fetched timestamp in release metadata. This can't be done on the server-side due to heavy caching.

• The feedback form no longer uses the logged in user's email address as the sender address as this can cause the mail to be rejected due to sender validation and similar anti spam measures. The user's email is still in the email signature and is now also in the mail's Reply-To header.

• The status page now sorts comics by the number of days since the last release, moving the comics most in need of maintenance to the top of the page.

v2.1.0 (2012-10-15)

• Added a web service interface to the comics instance's data to enable the development of custom frontends to comics and apps for Android and iOS.

• Improved admin interface. A lot of fields on the comic, release, and image models are now read-only, as they are only intended to be changed by the comics_addcomics and comics_getreleases commands. The comics admin interface is mainly intended for browsing and deleting comics/releases/images, not changing.

• Proper time zone support for comics crawling. We now calculate the current date at the location a comic is published using time zone aware datetime objects for the current time, which are converted to the comic's local time zone using pytz.

• Removed the setting COMICS_DEFAULT_TIME_ZONE.

• Updated time zone data for all crawlers. A lot of releases will now be fetched an hour earlier during daylight savings time, which is now taken into consideration when crawling.
