# Webware for Python 0.9 Release Notes

Webware for Python version 0.9 released on 11/13/05

## Introduction

It has taken much longer than usual to finish this release. There have been so many improvements and changes that we cannot list them all. Have a look at the WebKit release notes for some of the major changes in WebKit, the main Webware plug-in.

Note that Webware for Python has a new homepage at www.webwareforpython.org or short www.w4py.org, and a new Wiki at wiki.w4py.org. Development has moved from the CVS repository at SourceForge to a SVN repository at svn.w4py.org. The old Wiki articles and the CVS repository have been taken over to the new locations.

## New Features

- Webware now contains a new "KidKit" plug-in that allows you to use "Kid" templates with Webware as an alternative to PSP templates. PSP is still supported as a part of Webware. Note that Kid itself is not part of Webware; you must install it separately. See the Kid homepage and the KidKit release notes.

## Improvements and Refinements

- The documentation and doc processing has been improved. Instead of RawToHTML.py and the `raw` HTML format, the Webware "DocSupport" now provides a template engine pytp.py that processes `phtml` files with tags similar to PSP templates, for instance for including a header and a footer to the doc pages. The `htmlf` html fragments have been replaced by `phtml`, too. "DocSupport" also provides a new autotoc.py module for automatically creating a table of contents. In addition to the colorized source code and the summary page, the installer now also creates pydoc html page. The installer also creates default contexts for browsing the Docs via WebKit.
- The install.py has been improved. It creates a log file install.log now.
- Static and dynamic HTML pages have been changed to use cleaner HTML code and CSS instead of deprecated markup.
- The MakeAppWorkDir.py script has been rewritten to support new features of the launch script.
