Version 2 3b released
Author: S. Isaac Dealey
Short Link: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/ontap/thread.cfm/threadid:726#2096
I've just completed the initial testing for framework version 2.3
beta. The significant changes since version 2.0 are the elimination of
support for ColdFusion 5, and the revision of several key freamework
features which no longer need to support that version:
- caching
- library loader
- file system tools
- storage of html library elements
- storage of localized data
- sql abstraction layer
If I've done everything correctly, you shouldn't notice any functional
differences to the codebase with the exception of some minor revision
of features to the sql abstraction layer (all tags now support the
execute attribute to return the generated sql syntax instead of
executing the query, although you can no longer override the
attributes of a dsn by passing additional attributes like username and
password to these tags). You may notice that when you run the
framework, the server scope no longer directly exposes loads of cached
file-system variables (relative paths for example) as a result of the
implementation of CFC's which hide this cache. Similar changes were
made to the request, session and application scopes for cache data
from the html library and other sources.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is also a minor but necessary update for all
function libraries. All the plugins have been updated with the
necessary library tweak. Read the release notes if you have your own
functions and/or libraries that need updating (it's a painless
change).
Less Important Note: I've also made some minor revisions to the
feature set for html select elements recently (version 2.1 I believe)
which may help to improve performance with form pages, and should
definitely improve the ability to cache forms by allowing select
elements to generate their option list by default at display time so
the options are no longer cached along with the form. Manually created
option queries and/or manually created option elements should continue
to function as normal, even when combined with display-time options.
As always, questions and comments are welcome. :)
