Changes for version 2.05 - 2004-12-24
- Revised and updated documentation. Many thanks to Dave Howorth for his hard work and 120kb documentation patches.
- Added support for request and response HTTP headers with $r->headers_in & $r->headers_out (Maypole::Headers)
- Support for compound primary keys for Maypole::Model::CDBI classes
- Template toolkit objects are configurable with M::Config->view_options
- Templating performance should be improved when running Maypole with mod_perl since compiled templates remain in memory. CGI users can use TT2's COMPILE_DIR or COMPILE_EXT options with Maypole::Config->view_options to improve performance
- Internal changes:
- Added a new override for the model: fetch_objects().
- 'classmetadata' template variables can now be overriden individually
- New unit tests for Maypole, CGI::Maypole, Maypole::Headers, and others. More to come.
- Fixes:
- Maypole::CLI is more tolerant of trailing slashes in the request/uri_base
- fixed a bug in CGI::Maypole::parse_location() (Dave Howorth)
- Also applied that fix to Apache::MVC (Marcus Ramberg)
- some fixes for Maypole::Config, Maypole::Model::Base and Maypole::Model::CDBI::Plain (Dave Howorth)
- Documented adding new accessors to Maypole::Config
- Added Apache::RequestIO to Apache::MVC (michael#diaspora.gen.nz)
- Applied patch to fix length of utf8 documents.
- support compound primary keys in CDBI fetch_objects.
- Check if has_a actually points to a Maypole::Model (Dave Howorth)
- Make test suite work with DBD::SQLite2
- default search() action removes empty fields from search parameters
- #6622 - Maypole::Application will create a separate Maypole::Config for each application (instead of the current workaround for multiple apps under mod_perl)
- #7643 - improve M::V::Base's error() messages. prefix error with label, and carp()
- #7651 - minor POD improvements in M::M::CDBI (Dave Howorth)
- #7834 - minor POD update in M::M::CDBI (Kevin Connor)
- #7917 - if do_edit fails for object creation, try again with the correct template (addnew)
- #7930 - handle Class::DBI constraint failures in do_edit.
- Templates:
- add support for compound primary keys in factory templates (Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker)
