Migrating from Jelix 1.3.x

Details of changes from 1.4b1 to 1.4

Enhancements

  • Ticket #953 - Support of automatic language parameter in URLS. static and param elements in urls.xml can now have a type attribute with 'lang' or 'locale' value. For param elements of these types, there is no need to give them when calling jUrl::get.> At startup, the language in jApp::config()→locale is set automatically with the value of the param or static element that have a type 'lang' or 'locale'.
  • Improved support of locale/lang. It don't add same value as lang for country when country doesn't exist, since it has no sens for most of offical locales. new methods getCorrespondingLocale, getPreferedLocaleFromRequest and langToLocale on jLocale.
  • The configuration parameter availableLanguageCode of the autolocale plugin has been moved to the main configuration and renamed to availableLocales.
  • jDb: experimental driver for sqlite3
  • jDb: removed Intuition plugin. not maintened anymore.
  • The plugins directories of modules are now automatically registered

Details of changes from 1.3 to 1.4b1

Enhancements

    • jXmlResponse allows now to specify your own mime type. @Thomas PT
