We’ve released v0.10 of the OpenSpending code, and made it live on
http://openspending.org/

Changes in v0.10:

  • Data loading has been separated from the main web application. Web-based and command-line tools for data wranglers to load/reload datasets
    have been separated from the main end-user facing web application.
    They now reside in separate code repositories; there has been signficant
    reorganisation of the resulting source trees

  • More tests. Test coverage and organisation has been improved, and considerably more
    of the tests pass

  • Model overhaul. The integration between python and MongoDB has been effectively replaced

  • Removed dependency on celery. Long-running import tasks used to use a third-party subsystem called
    celery, which proved an administration and reliability hassle. It has
    been replaced by our own code.

  • Command line interface tidied up

  • Data-wrangler workflow improvements. Drop dataset is now supported, as are CLI and WUI tools for tagging CKAN packages for use with OpenSpending
