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.
