SVN revision 519
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.
$config->{$table}{required_cols} is deprecated, please use $class->required_columns instead
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()

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

yet
- Changed factory edit/view to use object instead of objects
Maypole::Model::CDBI

2.09 Mon Jan 25 22:00:00 2005
Fixes:
- Fixed plugin inheritance set up by Maypole::Application, added tests
Templates:
- factory/addnew will only prefill values when there's a row creation error
2.08 Mon Jan 24 20:45:00 2005
- Added $r->config->template_extension() to set optional file extension
for templates (Dave Howorth)
Fixes:
- Maypole::Application adds plugin classes to caller's @ISA (Marcus Ramberg)
- FETCH_CODE_ATRIBUTES in M::M::Base should return an empty list if there
are no attributes
- M::M::CDBI will warn() about Class::DBI::FromCGI errors
2.07 Sun Jan 16 18:45:00 2005
(This version was not uploaded to CPAN)
Internal changes:
- Removed Maypole::Model->description. It didn't work as expected and
clashed with 'description' columns in the database
Fixes:
- Model->process() shouldn't set $r->objects() to a list with a single,
undefined element
- Fixed overriding $r->template_args->{classmetadata} in M::V::Base
(Thanks to Dave Howorth for spotting the mistake)
- #9473: Maypole::Model::CDBI->related_class (Thanks David Baird)
- #9434: M::M::CDBI->search generated "uninitialized value" warnings
Templates:
- The addnew template will attempt to prefill form fields with request
parameters
- edit template includes 'addnew' if there is no object to edit
2.06 Wed Dec 29 01:30:00 2004
Fixes:
- Minor restructuring of the manual so search.cpan.org indexes it better
- #9129: Skip t/apache_mvc.t if Apache::Request isn't installed
2.05 Fri Dec 24 03:20:00 2004
- 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.
