0.6 (2014-03-07)

Improvements around CLI and WSGI features.

  • Feature #44: hospital.wsgi.application is a WSGI endpoint. Added documentation about running healthcheck service with Gunicorn, Chaussette, Circus, and Django via twod.wsgi.
  • Feature #47: hospital-cli and hospital-serve commands are a convenient way to use hospital.cli and hospital.wsgi.

0.5 (2014-02-28)

Introduced CLI and WSGI. They offer basic features (with experimental implementation), but they should be enough as proof of concepts.

  • Feature #39: python -m hospital.cli collects and runs healthchecks.
  • Feature #20: python -m hospital.wsgi runs a web server that collects and runs healthchecks on HTTP GET.

0.4 (2014-02-25)

Improvements around output of builtin assertions.

  • Feature #33: builtin assertions functions accept optional msg argument.
  • Bugfix #31: when assert_http_response() fails, it provides comprehensive message (was “AssertionError” without details about URL and reason).

0.3 (2014-02-09)

Documentation review and development environment refactoring: let’s try to simplify usage and development of hospital.

  • Feature #25: the Makefile in project’s repository no longer creates a virtualenv. Developers setup the environment as they like, i.e. using virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper or whatever. Added documentation about the Makefile scope and usage.

  • Feature #24: added note about project’s status in documentation.
