• JELIX_APP_* constants are now replaced by a new jApp class
• improvements in jAcl2: subjects groups, rights can be forbidden by a group.

• replace the lib/ directory
• run php myapp/install/installer.php. jelix modules will update all needed things.
• delete the content of temp directories
• READ THE MIGRATION TUTORIAL.

• core:
  • JELIX_APP_* constants are now replaced by new properties in a new jApp class. application.init.php must be changed into existing applications, to set paths with jApp instead of creating JELIX_APP_* constants. However, to be compatible with existing modules, these constants are created automatically by jCoordinator
  • Removed multiple *.init.php files. Only one application.init.php is needed, and only one temp directory is needed. application-cli.init.php and jelix-scripts.init.php can be removed safely from applications. And only the temp/myapp/ directory is needed to store every temp files of any contexts.
  • New objet jInstallerApplication to retrieve the list of entry points, all used modules etc..
  • jLog has been moved to the core, and has now plugins
  • Ticket #1126: new way how errors are managed. Responses are not responsible anymore to displays errors. Errors are handled by loggers. Loggers can inject errors in responses if they want. A new template is responsible to display a generic error message. Details of the errors are stored by loggers. Moved or renamed some configuration parameters
  • added a new method jRequest::isAjax
  • support of PHP 5.0 and PHP 5.1 has been removed definitively.
  • Removed jUrl::parseFromRequest()
  • jRequest::getIp() - better handling of HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
  • new jApp object handling paths of the application. It has also these methods:
    • jApp::loadPlugin to load a plugin for any component
• jProfiles: this is a new class to manage any connection profiles, and a spool of connections. All profiles (for jDb, jKVDb, jCache and the new jSoapClient) are now stored in a single file, profiles.ini.php. dbProfils.ini.php, cache.ini.php etc, do not exist any more.
• responses:
  • new basic html response (on which you can provide a template containing a full html page)
  • jResponseHtml has now plugins.
  • Minify is now a plugin of jResponseHtml, and is not integrated any more in the class. The class jMinifier does not exists any more, because of performance issues and licence issues. To minify css files and js files, the developer should now add a minify.php entry point which uses directly Minify.
  • Made changes in responses to use the new error management. For most of responses, error content is output as a text response or as a html response.
  • new true debug bar (as a plugin of jResponseHtml). It displays errors gracefully, and has its own plugins:
    • plugin to show SQL queries
    • plugin to show session data
    • plugin to show default logs
• jDb
  • implementation of jDbConnection::getAttribute() to retrieve db version (ticket #913)
• utils:
  • jBuildTools, new processing instruction: includeinto, includerawinto. new options for all 'include' processing instruction
  • jMailer: added the possibility to copy all mails in files
  • New jSoapClient class to retrieve a SoapClient object, configured with parameters stored in a profile.
• Added scripts to create and run phpunit tests (Simpletests integration and the junittests module is now deprecated)
• jAcl2:
  • the primary key of a user group is now a string, not an autoincremented integer. setting rights and setting group will be easier. The code field has been removed too.
  • added the possibility to forbid a right in a group. If a user is in several group, and if a right is canceled in one of these groups, then the user has not this right.
  • Made improvements on the UI of rights management (module jacl2db_admin)
• jForms:
  • added the ability to run easily js code during the submit event. new jFormsJQ.addSubmitHandler method.
  • added support of attributes on the form tpl plugin, ie: html attributes can be added on the generated form element.
