1 This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Maypole.
2 For information about current developments and future releases, see:
3 http://maypole.perl.org/?TheRoadmap
8 Directly accessing the attributes of the request object, or the parameters
9 in $r->params, or anything else, is DEPRECATED and likely to break in future
10 releases. Be good, and use proper method calls.
12 Incompatible API changes:
14 - is_applicable() renamed to is_model_applicable(), and returns boolean
15 instead of a status code. Old-style is_applicable() will still work,
18 API additions and enhancements:
20 -Init flag (wishlist 14123)
22 add() alias to push() (wishlist 14142)
24 - session() attribute, and get_session() method (no-op)
25 - user() attribute, and get_user() method (no-op)
26 - get_session() now called during handler_guts() before authenticate()
27 - new preprocess_path() method added and called by parse_path(),
28 parse_path() will leave any properties set by preprocess_path() in
30 - start_request_hook() added
31 - setup() split into setup(), setup_model(), and load_model_subclass()
32 - added new path processing methods for ssl and default table/action
33 - added make_path() and make_uri()
