Bug Fixes
Change default form action to the empty string (rather than .). Thanks to Kiran.
Features
Add deform.widget.DateInputWidget widget, which is a date picker widget. This has now become the default widget for the colander.Date schema type, preferred to the date parts widget.
Add text input mask capability to deform.widget.TextInputWidget.
Add text input mask capability to deform.widget.CheckedInputWidget.
Backwards Incompatibilities
Custom widgets must now check for colander.null rather than None as the null sentinel value.
Dependency on a new (0.7) version of Colander, which has been changed to make using proper defaults possible; if you’ve used the default argument to a colander.SchemaNode, or if you’ve defined a custom Colander type, you’ll want to read the updated Colander documentation (particularly the changelist). Short story: use the missing argument instead.
If you’ve created a custom widget, you will need to tweak it slightly to handle the value colander.null as input to both serialize and deserialize. See the Deform docs at http://docs.repoze.org/deform for more information.
0.2 (2010-05-13)
Every form has a formid now, defaulting to deform. The formid is used to compute the id of the form tag as well as the button ids in the form. Previously, if a formid was not passed to the Form constructor, no id would be given to the rendered form and the form’s buttons would not be prefixed with any formid.
The deform.Form class now accepts two extra keyword arguments in its constructor: use_ajax and ajax_options.
If use_ajax is True, the page is not reloaded when a submit button is pressed. Instead, the form is posted, and the result replaces the DOM node on the page.
ajax_options is a string which allows you to pass extra options to the underlying AJAX form machinery when use_ajax is True.
Added a couple Ajax examples to the demo app.
Add a rudimentary Ajax chapter to the docs.
