|
| paul@15 | 3 |
|
| paul@15 | 4 | The vContent distribution provides support for the parsing of the general file
|
| paul@15 | 5 | format described in RFCs 2445, 2425 and 2426, together with support for the
|
| paul@15 | 6 | more specialised iCalendar and vCalendar formats through the vCalendar module
|
| paul@15 | 7 | which applies certain data representation conversions. The vCard format is
|
| paul@15 | 8 | also supported, but merely through the general vContent module.

| paul@15 | 10 | Using the Modules
|
| paul@15 | 11 | -----------------
|
| paul@15 | 12 |
|
| paul@15 | 13 | The tests directory contains a number of demonstrations of parsing using the
|
| paul@15 | 14 | modules:
|
| paul@15 | 15 |
|
| paul@15 | 16 | test_calendar.py A straightforward test of vCalendar parsing
|
| paul@15 | 17 | test_calendar_stream.py A round-trip test of stream parsing and output
|
| paul@15 | 18 | test_card.py A straightforward test of vCard parsing
|
| paul@15 | 19 | test_card_stream.py A round-trip test of stream parsing and output

|
| paul@69 | 31 | New in vContent 0.3 (Changes since vContent 0.2.1)
|
| paul@69 | 32 | --------------------------------------------------
|
| paul@69 | 33 |
|
| paul@69 | 34 | * Added support for interpreting recurrence rules.
|
| paul@69 | 35 | * Fixed conversion to dictionary for multivalued definitions (such as
|
| paul@69 | 36 | FREEBUSY).
|
| paul@69 | 37 | * Raise a ParseError upon parsing ill-formed files.
|
| paul@69 | 38 | * Produce a value of None for empty properties.
|
| paul@69 | 39 | * Employ proper Unicode readers and writers.
|
| paul@69 | 40 | * Added timezone-related section types.
|

|
| paul@32 | 42 | New in vContent 0.2.1 (Changes since vContent 0.2)
|
| paul@32 | 43 | --------------------------------------------------
|
| paul@32 | 44 |
|
| paul@32 | 45 | * Fixed infinite loop caused by carriage return at end of input.

|
| paul@21 | 47 | New in vContent 0.2 (Changes since vContent 0.1)
|
| paul@21 | 48 | ------------------------------------------------
|
| paul@21 | 49 |
|
| paul@21 | 50 | * Added support for writing resources through a specific write method
|
| paul@21 | 51 | instead of using a stream, thus changing the iterwrite function's
|
| paul@21 | 52 | signature.
|
| paul@24 | 53 | * Added support for multiple property values, producing lists for
|
| paul@24 | 54 | collections of such values when parsing, and accepting lists of such
|
| paul@25 | 55 | values when writing. Tuples of values are also handled where such values
|
| paul@25 | 56 | are separated by semicolons.
