*SVN* * Fixed require of bluecloth and redcloth when gems haven't been loaded #4446 [murphy@cYcnus.de] * Update to Prototype 1.5.0_pre1 [Sam Stephenson] * Change #form_for and #fields_for so that the second argument is not required [Dave Thomas] <% form_for :post, @post, :url => { :action => 'create' } do |f| -%> becomes... <% form_for :post, :url => { :action => 'create' } do |f| -%> * Update to script.aculo.us 1.6 [Thomas Fuchs] * Enable application/x-yaml processing by default [Jamis Buck] * Fix double url escaping of remote_function. Add :escape => false option to ActionView's url_for. [Nicholas Seckar] * Add :script option to in_place_editor to support evalScripts (closes #4194) [codyfauser@gmail.com] * Fix mixed case enumerable methods in the JavaScript Collection Proxy (closes #4314) [codyfauser@gmail.com] * Undo accidental escaping for mail_to; add regression test. [Nicholas Seckar] * Added nicer message for assert_redirected_to (closes #4294) [court3nay] assert_redirected_to :action => 'other_host', :only_path => false when it was expecting... redirected_to :action => 'other_host', :only_path => true, :host => 'other.test.host' gives the error message... response is not a redirection to all of the options supplied (redirection is <{:only_path=>false, :host=>"other.test.host", :action=>"other_host"}>), difference: <{:only_path=>"true", :host=>"other.test.host"}> * Change url_for to escape the resulting URLs when called from a view. [Nicholas Seckar, coffee2code] * Added easy support for testing file uploads with fixture_file_upload #4105 [turnip@turnipspatch.com]. Example: # Looks in Test::Unit::TestCase.fixture_path + '/files/spongebob.png' post :change_avatar, :avatar => fixture_file_upload('/files/spongebob.png', 'image/png') * Fixed UrlHelper#current_page? to behave even when url-escaped entities are present #3929 [jeremy@planetargon.com] * Add ability for relative_url_root to be specified via an environment variable RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT. [isaac@reuben.com, Nicholas Seckar] * Fixed link_to "somewhere", :post => true to produce valid XHTML by using the parentnode instead of document.body for the instant form #3007 [Bob Silva] * Added :function option to PrototypeHelper#observe_field/observe_form that allows you to call a function instead of submitting an ajax call as the trigger #4268 [jonathan@daikini.com] * Make Mime::Type.parse consider q values (if any) [Jamis Buck] * XML-formatted requests are typecast according to "type" attributes for :xml_simple [Jamis Buck] * Added protection against proxy setups treating requests as local even when they're not #3898 [stephen_purcell@yahoo.com] * Added TestRequest#raw_post that simulate raw_post from CgiRequest #3042 [francois.beausoleil@gmail.com] * Underscore dasherized keys in formatted requests [Jamis Buck] * Add MimeResponds::Responder#any for managing multiple types with identical responses [Jamis Buck] * Make the xml_http_request testing method set the HTTP_ACCEPT header [Jamis Buck] * Add Verification to scaffolds. Prevent destructive actions using GET [Michael Koziarski] * Avoid hitting the filesystem when using layouts by using a File.directory? cache. [Stefan Kaes, Nicholas Seckar] * Simplify ActionController::Base#controller_path [Nicholas Seckar] * Added simple alert() notifications for RJS exceptions when config.action_view.debug_rjs = true. [Sam Stephenson] * Added :content_type option to render, so you can change the content type on the fly [DHH]. Example: render :action => "atom.rxml", :content_type => "application/atom+xml" * CHANGED DEFAULT: The default content type for .rxml is now application/xml instead of type/xml, see http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/07/21/dive.html for reason [DHH] * Added option to render action/template/file of a specific extension (and here by template type). This means you can have multiple templates with the same name but a different extension [DHH]. Example: class WeblogController < ActionController::Base def index @posts = Post.find :all respond_to do |type| type.html # using defaults, which will render weblog/index.rhtml type.xml { render :action => "index.rxml" } type.js { render :action => "index.rjs" } end end end * Added better support for using the same actions to output for different sources depending on the Accept header [DHH]. Example: class WeblogController < ActionController::Base def create @post = Post.create(params[:post]) respond_to do |type| type.js { render } # renders create.rjs type.html { redirect_to :action => "index" } type.xml do headers["Location"] = url_for(:action => "show", :id => @post) render(:nothing, :status => "201 Created") end end end end * Added Base#render(:xml => xml) that works just like Base#render(:text => text), but sets the content-type to text/xml and the charset to UTF-8 [DHH] * Integration test's url_for now runs in the context of the last request (if any) so after post /products/show/1 url_for :action => 'new' will yield /product/new [Tobias Luetke] * Re-added mixed-in helper methods for the JavascriptGenerator. Moved JavascriptGenerators methods to a module that is mixed in after the helpers are added. Also fixed that variables set in the enumeration methods like #collect are set correctly. Documentation added for the enumeration methods [Rick Olson]. Examples: page.select('#items li').collect('items') do |element| element.hide end # => var items = $$('#items li').collect(function(value, index) { return value.hide(); }); * Added plugin support for parameter parsers, which allows for better support for REST web services. By default, posts submitted with the application/xml content type is handled by creating a XmlSimple hash with the same name as the root element of the submitted xml. More handlers can easily be registered like this: # Assign a new param parser to a new content type ActionController::Base.param_parsers['application/atom+xml'] = Proc.new do |data| node = REXML::Document.new(post) { node.root.name => node.root } end # Assign the default XmlSimple to a new content type ActionController::Base.param_parsers['application/backpack+xml'] = :xml_simple Default YAML web services were retired, ActionController::Base.param_parsers carries an example which shows how to get this functionality back. As part of this new plugin support, request.[formatted_post?, xml_post?, yaml_post? and post_format] were all deprecated in favor of request.content_type [Tobias Luetke] * Fixed Effect.Appear in effects.js to work with floats in Safari #3524, #3813, #3044 [Thomas Fuchs] * Fixed that default image extension was not appended when using a full URL with AssetTagHelper#image_tag #4032, #3728 [rubyonrails@beautifulpixel.com] * Added that page caching will only happen if the response code is less than 400 #4033 [g.bucher@teti.ch] * Add ActionController::IntegrationTest to allow high-level testing of the way the controllers and routes all work together [Jamis Buck] * Added support to AssetTagHelper#javascript_include_tag for having :defaults appear anywhere in the list, so you can now make one call ala javascript_include_tag(:defaults, "my_scripts") or javascript_include_tag("my_scripts", :defaults) depending on how you want the load order #3506 [Bob Silva] * Added support for visual effects scoped queues to the visual_effect helper #3530 [Abdur-Rahman Advany] * Added .rxml (and any non-rhtml template, really) supportfor CaptureHelper#content_for and CaptureHelper#capture #3287 [Brian Takita] * Added script.aculo.us drag and drop helpers to RJS [Thomas Fuchs]. Examples: page.draggable 'product-1' page.drop_receiving 'wastebasket', :url => { :action => 'delete' } page.sortable 'todolist', :url => { action => 'change_order' } * Fixed that form elements would strip the trailing [] from the first parameter #3545 [ruby@bobsilva.com] * During controller resolution, update the NameError suppression to check for the expected constant. [Nicholas Seckar] * Update script.aculo.us to V1.5.3 [Thomas Fuchs] * Added various InPlaceEditor options, #3746, #3891, #3896, #3906 [Bill Burcham, ruairi, sl33p3r] * Added :count option to pagination that'll make it possible for the ActiveRecord::Base.count call to using something else than * for the count. Especially important for count queries using DISTINCT #3839 [skaes] * Update script.aculo.us to V1.5.2 [Thomas Fuchs] * Added element and collection proxies to RJS [DHH]. Examples: page['blank_slate'] # => $('blank_slate'); page['blank_slate'].show # => $('blank_slate').show(); page['blank_slate'].show('first').up # => $('blank_slate').show('first').up(); page.select('p') # => $$('p'); page.select('p.welcome b').first # => $$('p.welcome b').first(); page.select('p.welcome b').first.hide # => $$('p.welcome b').first().hide(); * Add JavaScriptGenerator#replace for replacing an element's "outer HTML". #3246 [tom@craz8.com, Sam Stephenson] * Remove over-engineered form_for code for a leaner implementation. [Nicholas Seckar] * Document form_for's :html option. [Nicholas Seckar] * Major components cleanup and speedup. #3527 [Stefan Kaes] * Fix problems with pagination and :include. [Kevin Clark] * Add ActiveRecordTestCase for testing AR integration. [Kevin Clark] * Add Unit Tests for pagination [Kevin Clark] * Add :html option for specifying form tag options in form_for. [Sam Stephenson] * Replace dubious controller parent class in filter docs. #3655, #3722 [info@rhalff.com, eigentone@gmail.com] * Don't interpret the :value option on text_area as an html attribute. Set the text_area's value. #3752 [gabriel@gironda.org] * Fix remote_form_for creates a non-ajax form. [Rick Olson] * Don't let arbitrary classes match as controllers -- a potentially dangerous bug. [Nicholas Seckar] * Fix Routing tests. Fix routing where failing to match a controller would prevent the rest of routes from being attempted. [Nicholas Seckar] * Add :builder => option to form_for and friends. [Nicholas Seckar, Rick Olson] * Fix controller resolution to avoid accidentally inheriting a controller from a parent module. [Nicholas Seckar] * Set sweeper's @controller to nil after a request so that the controller may be collected between requests. [Nicholas Seckar] * Subclasses of ActionController::Caching::Sweeper should be Reloadable. [Rick Olson] * Document the :xhr option for verifications. #3666 [leeo] * Added :only and :except controls to skip_before/after_filter just like for when you add filters [DHH] * Ensure that the instance variables are copied to the template when performing render :update. [Nicholas Seckar] * Add the ability to call JavaScriptGenerator methods from helpers called in update blocks. [Sam Stephenson] Example: module ApplicationHelper def update_time page.replace_html 'time', Time.now.to_s(:db) page.visual_effect :highlight, 'time' end end class UserController < ApplicationController def poll render :update { |page| page.update_time } end end * Add render(:update) to ActionView::Base. [Sam Stephenson] * Fix render(:update) to not render layouts. [Sam Stephenson] * Fixed that SSL would not correctly be detected when running lighttpd/fcgi behind lighttpd w/mod_proxy #3548 [stephen_purcell@yahoo.com] * Added the possibility to specify atomatic expiration for the memcachd session container #3571 [Stefan Kaes] * Change layout discovery to take into account the change in semantics with File.join and nil arguments.

Gerungan] * Always create new AR sessions rather than trying too hard to avoid database traffic. #2731 [Jeremy Kemper] * Update to Prototype 1.4.0_rc4. Closes #2943 (old Array.prototype.reverse behavior can be obtained by passing false as an argument).

Example: auto_link(post.body) { |text| truncate(text, 10) } [Jeremy Kemper] * assert_tag uses exact matches for string conditions, instead of partial matches. Use regex to do partial matches. #2799 [Jamis Buck] * CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore.data_column_name = 'foobar' to use a different session data column than the 'data' default. [nbpwie102@sneakemail.com] * Do not raise an exception when default helper is missing; log a debug message instead. It's nice to delete empty helpers. [Jeremy Kemper] * Controllers with acronyms in their names (e.g. PDFController) require the correct default helper (PDFHelper in file pdf_helper.rb). #2262 [jeff@opendbms.com] *1.11.0* (November 7th, 2005) * Added request as instance method to views, so you can do <%= request.env["HTTP_REFERER"] %>, just like you can already access response, session, and the likes [DHH] * Fix conflict with assert_tag and Glue gem #2255 [david.felstead@gmail.com] * Add documentation to assert_tag indicating that it only works with well-formed XHTML #1937, #2570 [Jamis Buck] * Added action_pack.rb stub so that ActionPack::Version loads properly [Sam Stephenson] * Added short-hand to assert_tag so assert_tag :tag => "span" can be written as assert_tag "span" [DHH] * Added skip_before_filter/skip_after_filter for easier control of the filter chain in inheritance hierachies [DHH]. Example: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base before_filter :authenticate end class WeblogController < ApplicationController # will run the :authenticate filter end class SignupController < ActionController::Base # will not run the :authenticate filter skip_before_filter :authenticate end * Added redirect_to :back as a short-hand for redirect_to(request.env["HTTP_REFERER"]) [DHH] * Change javascript_include_tag :defaults to not use script.aculo.us loader, which facilitates the use of plugins for future script.aculo.us and third party javascript extensions, and provide register_javascript_include_default for plugins to specify additional JavaScript files to load. Removed slider.js and builder.js from actionpack.

Closes #1980 [Skaes] * Added :post option to UrlHelper#link_to that makes it possible to do POST requests through normal ahref links using Javascript * Fixed overwrite_params * Added ActionController::Base.benchmark and ActionController::Base.silence to allow for easy benchmarking and turning off the log * Updated vendor copy of html-scanner to support better xml parsing * Added :popup option to UrlHelper#link_to #1996 [gabriel.gironda@gmail.com]. Examples: link_to "Help", { :action => "help" }, :popup => true link_to "Busy loop", { :action => "busy" }, :popup => ['new_window', 'height=300,width=600'] * Drop trailing \000 if present on RAW_POST_DATA (works around bug in Safari Ajax implementation) #918 * Fix observe_field to fall back to event-based observation if frequency <= 0 #1916 [michael@schubert.cx] * Allow use of the :with option for submit_to_remote #1936 [jon@instance-design.co.uk] * AbstractRequest#domain returns nil when host is an ip address #2012 [kevin.clark@gmail.com] * ActionController documentation update #2051 [fbeausoleil@ftml.net] * Yield @content_for_ variables to templates #2058 [Sam Stephenson] * Make rendering an empty partial collection behave like :nothing => true #2080 [Sam Stephenson] * Add option to specify the singular name used by pagination. * Use string key to obtain action value. Allows indifferent hashes to be disabled. * Added ActionView::Base.cache_template_loading back. * Rewrote compiled templates to decrease code complexity. Removed template load caching in favour of compiled caching. Fixed template error messages. [Nicholas Seckar] * Fix Routing to handle :some_param => nil better. [Nicholas Seckar, Luminas] * Add support for :include with pagination (subject to existing constraints for :include with :limit and :offset) #1478 [michael@schubert.cx] * Prevent the benchmark module from blowing up if a non-HTTP/1.1 request is processed * Added :use_short_month option to select_month helper to show month names as abbreviations * Make link_to escape the javascript in the confirm option #1964 [nicolas.pouillard@gmail.com] * Make assert_redirected_to properly check URL's passed as strings #1910 [Scott Barron] * Make sure :layout => false is always used when rendering inside a layout * Use raise instead of assert_not_nil in Test::Unit::TestCase#process to ensure that the test variables (controller, request, response) have been set * Make sure assigns are built for every request when testing #1866 * Allow remote_addr to be queried on TestRequest #1668 * Fixed bug when a partial render was passing a local with the same name as the partial * Improved performance of test app req/sec with ~10% refactoring the render method #1823 [Stefan Kaes] * Improved performance of test app req/sec with 5-30% through a series of Action Pack optimizations #1811 [Stefan Kaes] * Changed caching/expiration/hit to report using the DEBUG log level and errors to use the ERROR log level instead of both using INFO * Added support for per-action session management #1763 * Improved rendering speed on complicated templates by up to 100% (the more complex the templates, the higher the speedup) #1234 [Stephan Kaes]. This did necessasitate a change to the internals of ActionView#render_template that now has four parameters. Developers of custom view handlers (like Amrita) need to update for that. * Added options hash as third argument to FormHelper#input, so you can do input('person', 'zip', :size=>10) #1719 [jeremye@bsa.ca.gov] * Added Base#expires_in(seconds)/Base#expires_now to control HTTP content cache headers #1755 [Thomas Fuchs] * Fixed line number reporting for Builder template errors #1753 [piotr] * Fixed assert_routing so that testing controllers in modules works as expected [Nicholas Seckar, Rick Olson] * Fixed bug with :success/:failure callbacks for the JavaScriptHelper methods #1730 [court3nay/Thomas Fuchs] * Added named_route method to RouteSet instances so that RouteSet instance methods do not prevent certain names from being used. [Nicholas Seckar] * Fixed routes so that routes which do not specify :action in the path or in the requirements have a default of :action => 'index', In addition, fixed url generation so that :action => 'index' does not need to be provided for such urls. [Nicholas Seckar, Markjuh] * Worked around a Safari bug where it wouldn't pass headers through if the response was zero length by having render :nothing return ' ' instead of '' * Fixed Request#subdomains to handle "foo.foo.com" correctly *1.9.1* (11 July, 2005) * Fixed that auto_complete_for didn't force the input string to lower case even as the db comparison was * Fixed that Action View should always use the included Builder, never attempt to require the gem, to ensure compatibility * Added that nil options are not included in tags, so tag("p", :ignore => nil) now returns

    not

    but that tag("p", :ignore => "") still includes it #1465 [michael@schuerig.de] * Fixed that UrlHelper#link_to_unless/link_to_if used html_escape on the name if no link was to be applied. This is unnecessary and breaks its use with images #1649 [joergd@pobox.com] * Improved error message for DoubleRenderError * Fixed routing to allow for testing of *path components #1650 [Nicholas Seckar] * Added :handle as an option to sortable_element to restrict the drag handle to a given class #1642 [thejohnny] * Added a bunch of script.aculo.us features #1644, #1677, #1695 [Thomas Fuchs] * Effect.ScrollTo, to smoothly scroll the page to an element * Better Firefox flickering handling on SlideUp/SlideDown * Removed a possible memory leak in IE with draggables * Added support for cancelling dragging my hitting ESC * Added capability to remove draggables/droppables and redeclare sortables in dragdrop.js (this makes it possible to call sortable_element on the same element more than once, e.g. in AJAX returns that modify the sortable element. all current sortable 'stuff' on the element will be discarded and the sortable will be rebuilt) * Always reset background color on Effect.Highlight; this make change backwards-compatibility, to be sure include style="background-color:(target-color)" on your elements or else elements will fall back to their CSS rules (which is a good thing in most circumstances) * Removed circular references from element to prevent memory leaks (still not completely gone in IE) * Changes to class extension in effects.js * Make Effect.Highlight restore any previously set background color when finishing (makes effect work with CSS classes that set a background color) * Fixed myriads of memory leaks in IE and Gecko-based browsers [David Zülke] * Added incremental and local autocompleting and loads of documentation to controls.js [Ivan Krstic] * Extended the auto_complete_field helper to accept tokens option * Changed object extension mechanism to favor Object.extend to make script.aculo.us easily adaptable to support 3rd party libs like IE7.js [David Zülke] * Fixed that named routes didn't use the default values for action and possible other parameters #1534 [Nicholas Seckar] * Fixed JavascriptHelper#visual_effect to use camelize such that :blind_up will work #1639 [pelletierm@eastmedia.net] * Fixed that a SessionRestoreError was thrown if a model object was placed in the session that wasn't available to all controllers. This means that it's no longer necessary to use the 'model :post' work-around in ApplicationController to have a Post model in your session. *1.9.0* (6 July, 2005) * Added logging of the request URI in the benchmark statement (makes it easy to grep for slow actions) * Added javascript_include_tag :defaults shortcut that'll include all the default javascripts included with Action Pack (prototype, effects, controls, dragdrop) * Cache several controller variables that are expensive to calculate #1229 [skaes@web.de] * The session class backing CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore may be replaced with any class that duck-types with a subset of Active Record. See docs for details #1238 [skaes@web.de] * Fixed that hashes was not working properly when passed by GET to lighttpd #849 [Nicholas Seckar] * Fixed assert_template nil will be true when no template was rendered #1565 [maceywj@telus.net] * Added :prompt option to FormOptions#select (and the users of it, like FormOptions#select_country etc) to create "Please select" style descriptors #1181 [Michael Schuerig] * Added JavascriptHelper#update_element_function, which returns a Javascript function (or expression) that'll update a DOM element according to the options passed #933 [mortonda@dgrmm.net]. Examples: <%= update_element_function("products", :action => :insert, :position => :bottom, :content => "

    New product!

    ") %> <% update_element_function("products", :action => :replace, :binding => binding) do %>

    Product 1

    Product 2

    <% end %> * Added :field_name option to DateHelper#select_(year|month|day) to deviate from the year/month/day defaults #1266 [Marcel Molina] * Added JavascriptHelper#draggable_element and JavascriptHelper#drop_receiving_element to facilitate easy dragging and dropping through the script.aculo.us libraries #1578 [Thomas Fuchs] * Added that UrlHelper#mail_to will now also encode the default link title #749 [f.svehla@gmail.com] * Removed the default option of wrap=virtual on FormHelper#text_area to ensure XHTML compatibility #1300 [thomas@columbus.rr.com] * Adds the ability to include XML CDATA tags using Builder #1563 [Josh Knowles]. Example: xml.cdata! "some text" # => * Added evaluation of
