This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Maypole. For information about current developments and future releases, see: http://maypole.perl.org/?TheRoadmap 2.11 Deprecated: Directly accessing the attributes of the request object, or the parameters in $r->params, or anything else, is DEPRECATED and likely to break in future releases. Be good, and use proper method calls. Maypole no longer uses Class::DBI::AsForm, instead Maypole::Model::CDBI::AsForm has replaced it. Incompatible API changes: Maypole - is_applicable() deprecated for is_model_applicable(). is_applicable is an alias for is_model_applicable now. Maypole::Constants - ERROR constant now 500, previously -1 (bug #18901) Maypole::Model - delete and search actions are now deprecated - use do_search and do_delete instead Maypole::View - table name rather than moniker is used to find templates API additions and enhancements: Maypole::Application: - -Init flag (wishlist 14123) - recognises Maypole::HTTPD and installs Maypole::HTTPD::Frontend as its frontend Maypole::Headers: add() alias to push() (wishlist 14142) Maypole: - get_session() method (no-op) - get_user() method (no-op) - get_session() is called during handler_guts() before authenticate() - new preprocess_path() method added and called by parse_path(), parse_path() will leave any properties set by preprocess_path() in place - start_request_hook() added - status() attribute added (though only used by start_request_hook() so far) - setup() split into setup(), setup_model(), and load_model_subclass() - added new path processing methods for ssl and default table/action - added make_path() - added make_uri() - improved exception handling - now uses File::MMagic::XS to guess mime type of output unless already set - new component method provides Maypole::Component functionality - new object method gets/sets first/only object in objects Maypole::Model - do_delete, do_search in place of delete/search actions Maypole::View::TT: - new report_error method - new embedded error report page in __DATA__ Templates: - Improved pager macro/include - Improved factory templates - added the status() attribute, although it's not used in many places yet - Changed factory edit/view to use object instead of objects Maypole::Model::CDBI - improved error messages in do_edit action Bug fixes: Fix to cgi_maypole.t (bug 11346) Fix to TT error reporting (bug 13991) Template xhtml validation (bug 13975) Apache2 fixes in Apache::MVC (bug 13888) Fixed inheritance issues in Mp::Application - Mp::App now manipulates the caller's @ISA directly, and doesn't inject itself into the chain (bugs 12923 & 14120) Improved Template error reporting (14133) Maypole::Session::generate_unique_id() now returns the id (bug 14124) Moved ar accessor to Apache::MVC (bug 14014) Refactored core to support further development in 2.11 and onwards Fixed related_class() method (bug 14566) Added a cgi() attribute in Maypole::CGI Factory templates now less vulnerable to XSS (bug 16659) Reduced risk of XSS in factory templates (bug 16659) model search/delete methods in model and subclassing the cdbi mode (bug 16661) fixed problems with stringify_self and untaint missing ignore columns (bug 15678) fixed Maypole::Model::CDBI::Plain to JustWork(TM) with plain CDBI Classes (bug 16977) some silent death scenarios resolved Now initializes template_args, stash, parmas, objects and others to correct data type.
