*0.10.1* (7th March, 2005)
- Fixed rake stats to ignore editor backup files like model.rb~ 791
[skanthak]
- Added exception shallowing if the DRb server can’t be started (not
worth making a fuss about to distract new users) 779 [Tobias Luetke]
- Added an empty favicon.ico file to the public directory of new applications
(so the logs are not spammed by its absence)
- Fixed that scaffold generator new template should use local variable
instead of instance variable 778 [Dan Peterson]
- Allow unit tests to run on a remote server for PostgreSQL 781
[adamm@galacticasoftware.com]
- Added web_service generator (run ./script/generate web_service for help)
776 [Leon Bredt]
- Added app/apis and components to code statistics report 729 [Scott Barron]
- Fixed WEBrick server to use ABSOLUTE_RAILS_ROOT instead of
working_directory 687 [Nicholas Seckar]
- Fixed rails_generator to be usable without RubyGems 686 [Cristi BALAN]
- Fixed -h/—help for generate and destroy generators 331
- Added begin/rescue around the FCGI dispatcher so no uncaught exceptions can
bubble up to kill the process (logs to log/fastcgi.crash.log)
- Fixed that associationcount would produce invalid sql when called
sequentialy 659 [kanis@comcard.de]
- Fixed test/mocks/testing to the correct test/mocks/test 740
- Added early failure if the Ruby version isn’t 1.8.2 or above 735
- Removed the obsolete -i/—index option from the WEBrick servlet 743
- Upgraded to Active Record 1.8.0, Action Pack 1.5.1, Action Mailer 0.7.1,
Action Web Service 0.6.0, Active Support 1.0.1
*0.10.0* (24th February, 2005)
- Changed default IP binding for WEBrick from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 so that
the server is accessible both locally and remotely 696 [Marcel]
- Fixed that script/server -d was broken so daemon mode couldn’t be
used 687 [Nicholas Seckar]
- Upgraded to breakpoint 92 which fixes:
* overload IRB.parse_opts(), fixes #443
=> breakpoints in tests work even when running them via rake
* untaint handlers, might fix an issue discussed on the Rails ML
* added verbose mode to breakpoint_client
* less noise caused by breakpoint_client by default
* ignored TerminateLineInput exception in signal handler
=> quiet exit on Ctrl-C
- Added support for independent components residing in /components. Example:
Controller: components/list/items_controller.rb
(holds a List::ItemsController class with uses_component_template_root called)
Model : components/list/item.rb
(namespace is still shared, so an Item model in app/models will take precedence)
Views : components/list/items/show.rhtml
- Added —sandbox option to script/console that’ll roll back all
changes made to the database when you quit 672 [bitsweat]
- Added ‘recent’ as a rake target that’ll run tests for
files that changed in the last 10 minutes 612 [bitsweat]
- Changed script/console to default to development environment and drop
—no-inspect 650 [bitsweat]
- Added that the ‘fixture :posts’ syntax can be used for
has_and_belongs_to_many fixtures where a model doesn’t exist 572
[bitsweat]
- Added that running test_units and test_functional now performs the
clone_structure_to_test as well 566 [rasputnik]
- Added new generator framework that informs about its doings on generation
and enables updating and destruction of generated artifacts. See the new
script/destroy and script/update for more details 487 [bitsweat]
- Added Action Web Service as a new add-on framework for Action Pack [Leon
Bredt]
- Added Active Support as an independent utility and standard library
extension bundle
- Upgraded to Active Record 1.7.0, Action Pack 1.5.0, Action Mailer 0.7.0
*0.9.5* (January 25th, 2005)
- Fixed dependency reloading by switching to a remove_const approach where
all Active Records, Active Record Observers, and Action Controllers are
reloading by undefining their classes. This enables you to remove methods
in all three types and see the change reflected immediately and it fixes
539. This also means that only those three types of classes will benefit
from the const_missing and reloading approach. If you want other classes
(like some in lib/) to reload, you must use require_dependency to do it.
- Added Florian Gross’ latest version of Breakpointer and friends that
fixes a variaty of bugs 441 [Florian Gross]
- Fixed skeleton Rakefile to work with sqlite3 out of the box 521 [rasputnik]
- Fixed that script/breakpointer didn’t get the Ruby path rewritten as
the other scripts 523 [brandt@kurowski.net]
- Fixed handling of syntax errors in models that had already been succesfully
required once in the current interpreter
- Fixed that models that weren’t referenced in associations
weren’t being reloaded in the development mode by reinstating the
reload
- Fixed that generate scaffold would produce bad functional tests
- Fixed that FCGI can also display SyntaxErrors
- Upgraded to Active Record 1.6.0, Action Pack 1.4.0
*0.9.4.1* (January 18th, 2005)
- Added 5-second timeout to WordNet alternatives on creating reserved-word
models 501 [Marcel Molina]
- Fixed binding of caller 496 [Alexey]
- Upgraded to Active Record 1.5.1, Action Pack 1.3.1, Action Mailer 0.6.1
*0.9.4* (January 17th, 2005)
- Added that ApplicationController will catch a ControllerNotFound exception
if someone attempts to access a url pointing to an unexisting controller
[Tobias Luetke]
- Flipped code-to-test ratio around to be more readable 468 [Scott Baron]
- Fixed log file permissions to be 666 instead of 777 (so they’re not
executable) 471 [Lucas Carlson]
- Fixed that auto reloading would some times not work or would reload the
models twice 475 [Tobias Luetke]
- Added rewrite rules to deal with caching to public/.htaccess
- Added the option to specify a controller name to "generate
scaffold" and made the default controller name the plural form of the
model.
- Added that rake clone_structure_to_test, db_structure_dump, and
purge_test_database tasks now pick up the source database to use from
RAILS_ENV instead of just forcing development 424 [Tobias Luetke]
- Fixed script/console to work with Windows (that requires the use of
irb.bat) 418 [octopod]
- Fixed WEBrick servlet slowdown over time by restricting the load path
reloading to mod_ruby
- Removed Fancy Indexing as a default option on the WEBrick servlet as it
made it harder to use various caching schemes
- Upgraded to Active Record 1.5, Action Pack 1.3, Action Mailer 0.6
*0.9.3* (January 4th, 2005)
*0.9.2*
- Fixed CTRL-C exists from the Breakpointer to be a clean affair without
error dumping [Kent Sibilev]
- Fixed "rake stats" to work with sub-directories in models and
controllers and to report the code to test ration [Scott Baron]
- Added that Active Record associations are now reloaded instead of cleared
to work with the new const_missing hook in Active Record.
- Added graceful handling of an inaccessible log file by redirecting output
to STDERR with a warning 330 [rainmkr]
- Added support for a -h/—help parameter in the generator 331 [Ulysses]
- Fixed that File.expand_path in config/environment.rb would fail when
dealing with symlinked public directories [mjobin]
- Upgraded to Action Pack 1.1.0 and Active Record 1.3.0
*0.9.1*
- Upgraded to Action Pack 1.0.1 for important bug fix
- Updated gem dependencies
*0.9.0*
- Renamed public/dispatch.servlet to script/server — it wasn’t
really dispatching anyway as its delegating calls to public/dispatch.rb
- Renamed AbstractApplicationController and abstract_application.rb to
ApplicationController and application.rb, so that it will be possible for
the framework to automatically pick up on
app/views/layouts/application.rhtml and app/helpers/application.rb
- Added script/console that makes it even easier to start an IRB session for
interacting with the domain model. Run with no-args to see help.
- Added breakpoint support through the script/breakpointer client. This means
that you can break out of execution at any point in the code, investigate
and change the model, AND then resume execution! Example:
class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
def index
@posts = Post.find_all
breakpoint "Breaking out from the list"
end
end
So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present
you with a IRB prompt in the breakpointer window. Here you can do things
like:
Executing breakpoint "Breaking out from the list" at
…/webrick_server.rb:16 in ‘breakpoint’
>> @posts.inspect
=> "[#<Post:0x14a6be8 @attributes={\"title\"=>nil, \"body\"=>nil, \"id\"=>\"1\"}>,
#<Post:0x14a6620 @attributes={\"title\"=>\"Rails you know!\", \"body\"=>\"Only ten..\", \"id\"=>\"2\"}>]"
>> @posts.first.title = "hello from a breakpoint"
=> "hello from a breakpoint"
…and even better is that you can examine how your runtime objects
actually work:
>> f = @posts.first
=> #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>
>> f.
Display all 152 possibilities? (y or n)
Finally, when you’re ready to resume execution, you press CTRL-D
- Changed environments to be configurable through an environment variable. By
default, the environment is "development", but you can change
that and set your own by configuring the Apache vhost with a string like
(mod_env must be available on the server):
SetEnv RAILS_ENV production
…if you’re using WEBrick, you can pick the environment to use
with the command-line parameters -e/—environment, like this:
ruby public/dispatcher.servlet -e production
- Added a new default environment called "development", which
leaves the production environment to be tuned exclusively for that.
- Added a start_server in the root of the Rails application to make it even
easier to get started
- Fixed public/.htaccess to use RewriteBase and share the same rewrite rules
for all the dispatch methods
- Fixed webrick_server to handle requests in a serialized manner (the Rails
reloading infrastructure is not thread-safe)
- Added support for controllers in directories. So you can have:
app/controllers/account_controller.rb # URL: /account/
app/controllers/admin/account_controller.rb # URL: /admin/account/
NOTE: You need to update your public/.htaccess with the new rules to pick
it up
- Added reloading for associations and dependencies under cached environments
like FastCGI and mod_ruby. This makes it possible to use those environments
for development. This is turned on by default, but can be turned off with
ActiveRecord::Base.reload_associations = false and
ActionController::Base.reload_dependencies = false in production
environments.
- Added support for sub-directories in app/models. So now you can have
something like Basecamp with:
app/models/accounting
app/models/project
app/models/participants
app/models/settings
It’s poor man’s namespacing, but only for file-system
organization. You still require files just like before. Nothing changes
inside the files themselves.
- Fixed a few references in the tests generated by new_mailer [bitsweat]
- Added support for mocks in testing with test/mocks
- Cleaned up the environments a bit and added global constant RAILS_ROOT
*0.8.5* (9)
*0.8.0 (15)*
- Removed custom_table_name option for new_model now that the Inflector is as powerful as it is
- Changed the default rake action to just do testing and separate API
generation and coding statistics into a "doc" task.
- Fixed WEBrick dispatcher to handle missing slashes in the URLs gracefully
[alexey]
- Added user option for all postgresql tool calls in the rakefile [elvstone]
- Fixed problem with running "ruby public/dispatch.servlet" instead
of "cd public; ruby dispatch.servlet" [alexey]
- Fixed WEBrick server so that it no longer hardcodes the ruby interpreter
used to "ruby" but will get the one used based on the Ruby
runtime configuration. [Marcel Molina Jr.]
- Fixed Dispatcher so it’ll route requests to magic_beans to
MagicBeansController/magic_beans_controller.rb [Caio Chassot]
- "new_controller MagicBeans" and "new_model
SubscriptionPayments" will now both behave properly as they use the
new Inflector.
- Fixed problem with MySQL foreign key constraint checks in Rake
:clone_production_structure_to_test target [Andreas Schwarz]
- Changed WEBrick server to by default be auto-reloading, which is slower but
makes source changes instant. Class compilation cache can be turned on with
"-c" or "—cache-classes".
- Added "-b/—binding" option to WEBrick dispatcher to bind
the server to a specific IP address (default: 127.0.0.1) [Kevin Temp]
- dispatch.fcgi now DOESN‘T set FCGI_PURE_RUBY as it was slowing things
down for now reason [Andreas Schwarz]
- Added new_mailer generator to work with Action Mailer
- Included new framework: Action Mailer 0.3
- Upgraded to Action Pack 0.9.0
- Upgraded to Active Record 1.0.0
*0.7.0*
- Added an optional second argument to the new_model script that allows the
programmer to specify the table name, which will used to generate a custom
table_name method in the model and will also be used in the creation of
fixtures. [Kevin Radloff]
- script/new_model now turns AccountHolder into account_holder instead of
accountholder [Kevin Radloff]
- Fixed the faulty handleing of static files with WEBrick [Andreas Schwarz]
- Unified function_test_helper and unit_test_helper into test_helper
- Fixed bug with the automated production => test database dropping on
PostgreSQL [dhawkins]
- create_fixtures in both the functional and unit test helper now turns off
the log during fixture generation and can generate more than one fixture at
a time. Which makes it possible for assignments like:
@people, @projects, @project_access, @companies, @accounts =
create_fixtures "people", "projects", "project_access", "companies", "accounts"
- Upgraded to Action Pack 0.8.5 (locally-scoped variables, partials, advanced
send_file)
- Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.5 (better table_name guessing, cloning,
find_all_in_collection)
*0.6.5*
- No longer specifies a template for rdoc, so it’ll use whatever is
default (you can change it in the rakefile)
- The new_model generator will now use the same rules for plural wordings as
Active Record (so Category will give categories, not categorys) [Kevin
Radloff]
- dispatch.fcgi now sets FCGI_PURE_RUBY to true to ensure that it’s the
Ruby version that’s loaded [danp]
- Made the GEM work with Windows
- Fixed bug where mod_ruby would "forget" the load paths added when
switching between controllers
- PostgreSQL are now supported for the automated production => test
database dropping [Kevin Radloff]
- Errors thrown by the dispatcher are now properly handled in FCGI.
- Upgraded to Action Pack 0.8.0 (lots and lots and lots of fixes)
- Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.4 (a bunch of fixes)
*0.6.0*
- Added AbstractionApplicationController as a superclass for all controllers
generated. This class can be used to carry filters and methods that are to
be shared by all. It has an accompanying ApplicationHelper that all
controllers will also automatically have available.
- Added environments that can be included from any script to get the full
Active Record and Action Controller context running. This can be used by
maintenance scripts or to interact with the model through IRB. Example:
require 'config/environments/production'
for account in Account.find_all
account.recalculate_interests
end
A short migration script for an account model that had it’s interest
calculation strategy changed.
- Accessing the index of a controller with "/weblog" will now
redirect to "/weblog/" (only on Apache, not WEBrick)
- Simplified the default Apache config so even remote requests are served off
CGI as a default. You‘ll now have to do something specific to
activate mod_ruby and FCGI (like using the force urls). This should make it
easier for new comers that start on an external server.
- Added more of the necessary Apache options to .htaccess to make it easier
to setup
- Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.9 (lots of fixes)
- Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.3 (lots of fixes)
*0.5.7*
- Fixed bug in the WEBrick dispatcher that prevented it from getting
parameters from the URL (through GET requests or otherwise)
- Added lib in root as a place to store app specific libraries
- Added lib and vendor to load_path, so anything store within can be loaded
directly. Hence lib/redcloth.rb can be loaded with require
"redcloth"
- Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.8 (lots of fixes)
- Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.2 (minor upgrade)
*0.5.6*
- Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.7 (multipart form fix)
- Updated the generated template stubs to valid XHTML files
- Ensure that controllers generated are capitalized, so "new_controller
TodoLists" gives the same as "new_controller Todolists" and
"new_controller todolists".
*0.5.5*
- Works on Windows out of the box! (Dropped symlinks)
- Added webrick dispatcher: Try "ruby public/dispatch.servlet
—help" [Florian Gross]
- Report errors about initialization to browser (instead of attempting to use
uninitialized logger)
- Upgraded to Action Pack 0.7.6
- Upgraded to Active Record 0.9.1
- Added distinct 500.html instead of reusing 404.html
- Added MIT license
*0.5.0*
