- Added: scope attribute to context instances definition, to align the xml spec to the spring dependency injection schemma.
- Improved: Allow includepath to specify autoloaders. Difference is that class loader declares autoloaders before reading the configuration, ensuring that all the autoloaders are ready to find class files during the request lifecycle.
- Fixed: A bug when executing admin controllers (like clearcache) from the command line since the commandline controller tries to access to the wrong (old) admin directory
- Fixed: A bug on templates included in other templates via the smarty include directive, to avoid the double execution of the endRender method for the same component render.
- Fixed: Ensure that all the components in session were rendered last time their pages were requested, otherwise expire them.
Changes on version 1.3.8
- Deprecated the bootstrap capability. Now an empty project is distributed within the lion framework deliverable
- Refactorized the directory structure to achieve a better understanding on where is everything located in
- Added cache capability at front controller level, so we can cache the whole page and serve the cached version.
- Plugins and component improvements:
(1) Plugins are detected as soon as they are installed (or removed).
(2) Plugins can contain everything they need to work inside their directories, including configuration and includepath files. This ease the addition and removal of plugins by just placing or removing directories.
- Global session has been deprecated. Now the way to access to the session instance is through the context (i.e. __ApplicationContext::getInstance()->getSession()).
- Improved configurationLoader in order to accept expressions like /directory/.../*.xml (all .xml under /directory/ recursively)
- Improved classLoader in order to search for files includepath.xml recursively (vs. all the files contained in the includepath directory). So plugins and components can contain their own includepath files.
- Fixed: Big cleanup in default configuration files.
- Fixed: Removed deprecated stream wrappers (config and log).
- Fixed: Removed unnecessary method getId and setId from the __SystemResource base class
- Tutorial source codes are now downloadables as standalone application ready to run.

Improved: Added __XmlHttpResponse class (subclass of __HttpResponse) to be used for ajax responses
Improved: Added local lion.ini directives file (optional) to rewrite general directives
Fixed: Minor bug in __ResourceManager, in order to let the getInstance method (singleton) to retrieve the instance from the context (vs. from an static member)
Fixed: Let the route manager get the routes from the application context (never from the current context, since the application context must be the one in charge of handle routes and redirect to the rest of context if apply)
Fixed: A bug when referencing .js and .css libraries in large url paths
Changes on version 1.2.4
Fixed: Improved context IoC: If a factory is set to a context-instance, the class attribute is optional

- Added: the Area component (more like a div), and the pane component (like an inputgroup).
- 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.
- Added: 2 new components: The pane and the area

- Fixed the history manager in order to register the last request just once the request has finished
- Added the DataCollector component
- Fixed the component handler and component pool to store non-poolable components during the request.

Changes on version 1.0.95
- Added a new client end-point: __JavascriptOnDemand, which allows to send javascript to client to be executed.
- 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 'do' + same name.
- 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.
- Fixed Ticket #7: Event handler callback naming convention: Instead of ussing the naming convention _on, remove the "on" and let it just as _.
- Fixed client end-points (valueholder type) to do not send the status if it has not changed since last time it was updated

- Fixed: Admin area to handle command line execution if no controller/actions are specified.
- Renamed admin area controllers files by removing the double underscore prefix.
- Fixed: The cache manager to allow specific ttl. If not specified, the cache handler will use the default one.
- Fixed: Small changes in the cache API to be as similar as possible to the session API.
- Fixed: Check if cache directory exists on __MicroCache class (the one used by the __ClassLoader)
- Fixed: Adapted the protected section component according to last component model refactorization.
- Fixed: Protected section must inherit from __UIContainer since it's a component container.
Changes on version 1.0.89
- Addapted the old __FormComponent to the current component model (ticket #4 and #5)
- Added the onSubmit event, raised on server side after submitting a form
- Created the __IUriContainer interface, implemented by component classes containing an uri (i.e. links, forms, etc...)

- Adapted the client component model to handle the checkbox and optionbox components (the __ValueHolderFactory to create a __CheckableElementProperty in case the element type is a checkbox or radio)
- Added the renderContent method to __ComponentWriter class in order to have the capability to render contents enclosed by component tags (see doc for more info).
- Fixed: The spinner component was rendered even if the component had the spinner=false property. Now it's just rendered if the spinner property is != false/no.
Changes on version 1.0.86

- Cache is taken from the context
i.e. __ApplicationContext::getInstance()->getCache()
- Added the cachehandler facade for different cache storage implementations.
- Added 2 initial cachehandlers: cachelite and memcache
