Changes for version 2.001001 - 2010-02-06

  • THIS RELEASE GUARANTEES TO BREAK BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY **
  • Merge create and update into update_or_create
  • object is much advanced now:
    • Identifier can be omitted, and data_root in the request is interpreted
  • Because of the above one object or several is now possible for update or create
  • Create and Update object validation now happens iteratively
  • Creates and Updates can be mixed inside a single bulk request
  • All modifying actions on the database occur within an all-or-nothing transaction
  • Much of the DBIC search parameter munging is properly moved to the RequestArguments Role in the form of a trigger on 'search' to populate 'search_parameters' and 'search_attributes' which correspond directly to ->search($parameters, $attributes);
  • Error handling is now much more consistent, using Try::Tiny everywhere possible
  • Tests are now modernized and use JSON::Any
  • Extending is now explicitly done via Moose method modifiers
  • The only portion of the stash in use is to allow runtime definition of create/update_allows
  • list is now broken down into several steps:
    • list_munge_parameters
    • list_perform_search
    • list_format_output
    • row_format_output (which is just a passthrough per row)
  • Search can now take an array of hashrefs to give the ability to use the default 'OR'
  • By default search_parameters is an ArrayRef[HashRef] which is pertinent to list_munge_parameters
  • More thorough documentation of the various bits and pieces.
    • Documentation now uses Pod::Weaver and Plugin::PodWeaver (weaver.ini added)
  • The distribution is now managed by Dist::Zilla
  • And some more likely forgotten.
