Notes:
This is a huge release for Radiant. The biggest change is a full plugin system,
but there are numerous little changes like optimistic locking, and X-Sendfile
support that make this a worthy upgrade. Check out the change log for more
details.
Changes:
* Added support for extensions--an extremely flexible way to extend radiant
* Merged Behaviors into the Page class; subclass page now instead
* Improved database support for Postgres and Sqlite
* Limited support for SQL Server
* Exceptions from tags now bubble up during testing
* Page parts are now sorted by ID so the order that you create them in is
preserved [Josh Ferguson]
* Implemented tag documentation DSL and UI [Sean Cribbs]
* Reworked the setup code
* Renamed script/setup_database to rake db:bootstrap
* Reworked the upgrade code to work around rake tasks
* Added rake tasks for freezing and unfreezing radiant to the edge
* r:children:each, r:children:first, and r:children:last now all accept the
same ordering and limit attributes and have the same defaults
* Snippets are now responsive to global context via the r:page tag. This means
that any tags inside r:page will refer to the page currently being rendered,
i.e. the page requested, not the local contextual page via tags like
r:children:each, etc. This is most relevant to recursive snippets like the
sitemapper example [Sean Cribbs]
* r:navigation now uses the pipe character ("|") to delimit URLs in the urls
attribute rather than the semi-colon
* :date now accepts a "for" attribute that specifies which attribute of the
page to render. Valid values of the attribute are published_at, updated_at,
created_at, and now.
* Created the r:cycle tag to make alternating tables and lists possible
* Added popups for filter and tag documentation inside the page editing
interface
* Added support for optimistic locking for all models [Daniel Shepherd]
* Added support to Radiant::Config for boolean values [Sean Cribbs]
* Caching no longer stores the headers and body in the same file [Daniel
Shepherd]
* Added support for the X-Sendfile header that works in conjunction with
caching to speed it up (by default X-Sendfile support is off) [Daniel
Shepherd]
* Moved the images and stylesheets into images/admin and stylesheets/admin
respectively to make it easier for Radiant's assets to coexist easily with
the site's assets
* Improved the Javascript that automatically updates the slug and breadcrumb
based off of the title so that it now response to all change events
