This is an early release. Staticware does something very satisfyingly today: it serves static files with content-hashed URLs for cache busting. That means when you edit your CSS then redeploy and restart your server, visitors get the latest CSS without forcing a refresh. More will come.
Lately I've been catching up on open source. This is the backstory behind the Cookiecutter release cascade. One quick release turned into four all-consuming releases, a licensing dispute, chardet removal, a new decision tree classifier in binaryornot, and my new interest in becoming an expert at designing classifiers.
BinaryOrNot identifies binary files three ways: by extension, by file signature, and by content analysis. Pass it any file path and it tells you binary or text, accurately, across PNGs, PDFs, executables, archives, fonts, CJK-encoded text, and hundreds of other formats.
If you've ever had BinaryOrNot misidentify a UTF-16 file, choke on a CJK-encoded document, or crash because chardet changed its API, this release is for you.
You know that thing where you release an album, it's on the shelves, people are buying it, and then someone points out the spine says it's your previous album? That's what happened with Cookiecutter 2.7.0. We put out the long-awaited release with 27 improvements and 17 contributors, and cookiecutter -V proudly announced: **2.6.0**.
Cookiecutter 2.7.0 is tested on Python 3.10 through 3.14, ships with a security policy documenting the trust model for template hook scripts, and publishes to PyPI with cryptographic provenance so you can verify every release. Seventeen contributors from the community helped build it.
I've put out the biggest release of cookiecutter-pypackage since the modern rewrite. Generated projects now ship with a documentation site, type checking, cross-version coverage enforcement, and security-hardened CI, all configured and working out of the box.
