Also added some documentation on component model<br /> <br /> 2008-07-12 03:30:007200 <br /> - Important improvements on client side code generation, accelerating client execution while improving cross-browser compatibility:<br /> 1. Added new .js loader (JIT) to perform javascript lazy loading.<br /> 2. Group all generated javascript code at bottom, while all .js inclusions at top.<br /> 3. Refactorized client code to just require a single .js inclusion (lion.js)<br /> <br /> 2008-06-18 01:42:007200 <br /> - Added: Method setApplicationDomain to the __Uri class, in order to build absolute urls for different domains, even if they are different to the current server one. Also usefull to execute controllers from the command line.<br /> - Added: fromArray and toArray method to __RolesCollection class, in order to build from and to an array of roles in one single shot.<br /> - Added: hasAccess and hasPermission methods to __User (also added to the __IUser interface), in order to check if an user has access to a given system resource as well as check if an user has a given permission.<br /> - Added: event handling capability at component level, meaning that components can also contain predefined logic to handle certain events.<br /> - Fixed: Some minus bugs found during development of real web applications with the lion framework, as part of the stability phase.<br /> <br /> 2008-05-31 01:17:007200 <br /> <br /> - Fixed: Added missing class file for __ConstructorArguments Collection class (<a href="http://www.lionframework.org:8000/lionframework/ticket/12" target="_blank">ticket #12</a>)<br /> - Fixed: Component validation rule to have 2 methods: pattern and format (instead of just one single method validFormat)<br /> - Upgraded: livevalidation javascript library from 1.2 to 1.3<br /> - Improvement: I18n string loading performance<br /> - Added: event handler's create method, which is called first time an event handler is created<br /> - Added: the DateBox component, a textbox with a pickable calendar. This component uses the Dynarch calendar, by Mihai Bazon under GNU LGPL.<br /> - Added: the Area component (more like a div), and the pane component (like an inputgroup).<br /> - Added: the resetValueHolders method on both __EventHandler and __ComponentHandler classes. Really usefull to reset values to null for all value holders contained in a view. This method also reset any validation against any value holder.<br /> - Added: 2 new components: The pane and the area<br /> - Fixed: Do not generate the startup async message for empties messages<br /> - Fixed: A bug in the ActionBox component producing multiple executions of the same action.<br /> - Fixed: A bug in the ActionIdentity, resulting in a wrong URL generation according to route definitions<br /> - Added: the setAuthenticatedUser to the __AuthenticationManager, in order to allow to set the authenticate user without having to execute authenticators (i.e. to authenticate a user just after registration process)<br /> - Fixed: A bug in ProtectedSection component, which makes the section to be hidden even if the required permission was covered by active roles<br /> - Fixed the history manager in order to register the last request just once the request has finished<br /> - Added the DataCollector component<br /> - Fixed the component handler and component pool to store non-poolable components during the request.<br /> - Fixed the action box to avoid double renders during the same request<br /> - Fixed a bug on __UIEvent to prevent add a non-array instance as extra_info<br /> - Improvement: Accelerate URL building by pre-caching some static calculations<br /> - Improvement: Removes call to StreamWrapperManager (also the class, because is more like unnecessary due to the small piece of job it does)<br /> - Fixed: a typo on Route class (by adding the 2 underscore prefix to a class reference)<br /> - Fixed: the validation event on forms after submit, to take into account the validation result on the submit intercepting filter<br /> - Added: 2 new methods to the __Authentication Manager: isAuthenticated and isAnonymous<br /> - Added: the persist property to components. Even if the component implements __IPoolable, persist=&quot;false&quot; will force the component to being not pulled<br /> - Added: Experimental deliverable type PHAR, embedding the whole framework within a single .phar file.<br /> - Fixed: the ResourceProviderSectionHandler to raise a __ConfigurationException instead of delegating to the __ExceptionFactory, which results in an infinite loop in certain conditions<br /> <br /> 2008-04-03 08:55:007200 <br /> - Added a new client end-point: __JavascriptOnDemand, which allows to send javascript to client to be executed.<br /> - Added the magic __call method to base class __UIComponent in order to intercept calls to component methods. The __call will notify to associated end-point the call request. After that it will try to execute a method with prefix &#039;do&#039; + same name.<br /> - Change default set of component writers in order to render component initial values without ussing javascript when a page is loaded, in order to be compatible with non-javascript browsers.<br /> - Fixed <a href="http://www.lionframework.org:8000/lionframework/ticket/7" target="_blank">ticket #7</a>: Event handler callback naming convention: Instead of ussing the naming convention &lt;componentname&gt;_on&lt;eventname&gt;, remove the &quot;on&quot; and let it just as &lt;componentname&gt;_&lt;eventname&gt;.<br /> - Fixed client end-points (valueholder type) to do not send the status if it has not changed since last time it was updated<br /> - Changed instances and instance xml tags to context-intances and context-instance to define context instances. Also deprecated the $context-&gt;getInstance($instance_id) method. Use getContextInstance instead of in order to retrieve a context instance.<br /> - Fixed <a href="http://www.lionframework.org:8000/lionframework/ticket/3" target="_blank">ticket #3</a>: Implemented the validate event, improved the validation rule and link components to validation rules (new component method: validate, as a proxy method to the related validation rule method)<br /> - Fixed: Removed types package (not used)<br /> - Fixed: Lion administrative area footer to show the proper links (license, about, contact and lion home)<br /> - Fixed: Added to the bootstrap success page a link to the test page (the one to check if lion is working)<br /> - Fixed: Added setRoles method to the __User class in order to be able to set all the roles at the same time when loading users<br /> - Documentation<br /> <br /> 2008-02-19 09:01:003600 <br /> - Fixed: Raise an exception when a non-existing model service is tried to be executed<br /> - Fixed: Raise an exception when an unexistent route id is set to an __Uri instance<br /> - Fixed: Admin area to handle command line execution if no controller/actions are specified.<br /> - Renamed admin area controllers files by removing the double underscore prefix.<br /> - Fixed: The cache manager to allow specific ttl.

Now it&#039;s just rendered if the spinner property is != false/no.<br /> <br /> 2008-01-26 03:28:403600 <br /> Improvements:<br /> <br /> - Refactorized cache related classes:<br /> - Cache is taken from the context<br /> i.e. __ApplicationContext::getInstance()-&gt;getCache()<br /> - Added the cachehandler facade for different cache storage implementations.<br /> - Added 2 initial cachehandlers: cachelite and memcache<br /> - Added __CacheSectionHandler implementing the __ISectionHandler.

Thanks Mariano :)<br /> - New feature: Added the onInit event. This event is executed just before painting the component.<br /> - Deprecated: The event handler init method (it&#039;s not called anymore). Use the onInit event instead of.<br /> - Fixed: The onLoad event was not being raised.<br /> <br /> 2008-01-22 11:05:403600 <br /> First *PUBLIC* lion|framework beta deliverable<br /> <br /> Please send your feed to aparraga@lionframework.org<br /> <br /> 2008-01-18 07:07:003600
