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
6 Fixed some db_colinfo test bugs
7 Fixed typo in edit form template
8 Now uses Class::C3 in all Classes to simplify inheritence
9 Inheritence simpler and nicer and less hacked
10 add_model_superclass method moves @ISA munging into the model
11 new Class::DBI::DFV based model
12 new test to check everything compiles
13 Model inheritance re-organised
14 New config method : additional, for stashing additional info, especially from additional_data method
15 new warn method in maypole/request class/object, over-ridden by Apache::MVC, etc or own driver
16 AsForm fixes to stringification _to_select
17 new build_form_elements attribute for Maypole request and Maypole::Config, set it to 0 to avoid building cgi form if you don't need it
18 made DFV and FromCGI warn instead of die on unexpected cgi params
19 added CGI params to TT error template
20 small improvements to some factory templates
21 fix to path handling in mod_perl and CGI when location ends in /
22 fixed template path ordering so i.e. /tablename/list is used before /list when provided with a tablename
23 fixed template path with array refs
24 fix to template being reset from path in plain templates (i.e. where no model), may affect those relying on the bug ( bug 23722 )
25 added search_columns method to base cdbi model class, provides display_columns unless over-ridden
26 fix to display_line macro in factory templates (bug 22920)
33 Directly accessing the attributes of the request object, or the parameters
34 in $r->params, or anything else, is DEPRECATED and likely to break in future
35 releases. Be good, and use proper method calls.
