Minor versions introduce breaking changes

Open somas95 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Updating a project from oTree 5.4.0 to 5.4.6 resulted in errors due to HTML code being outside template blocks, which were allowed in the former but not the latter. If oTree follows semantic versioning (which I assume it does) no breaking changes should be introduced between minor versions, and in any case they should be documented in a changelog. Currently only major version changelogs are documented (see #77) on readthedocs, so this issue is even more prominent

content outside blocks never worked. The change is now oTree tells you rather than ignoring that content.
