Development highlights

  • r9473: [1.1] added support to read sublocale calendar files
  • r9474: [1.0] added support for specifying index size like my_index: [created_at(10)] to support putting indexes and uniques on mysql text type columns
  • r9477: [1.1] refactored renderPartial() and renderComponent() in sfAction (code has been splitted to create a getPartial() and a getComponent() method)
  • r9489: [1.1] secured non-production controllers by default by inserting an IP check for 127.0.0.1 into those controllers. This will only affect new applications created with generate:app and not be part of the upgrade.
  • r9494, r9495: [1.0, 1.1] added more fillin tests
  • r9496: [1.1] fix problem with components contextual vars. A contextual variable sent via include_component/get_component overrided in myComponents::executeXxx() method was keeping original value instead of overriden one. New behavior is like sf1.0
  • r9498: [1.1] added $sfForm::mergeForm(sfForm $form) method which allows to merge two existing form instances, including: widgets, validators, pre and post validators. Wlements of the form passed as argument will override the existing ones by default. Bound forms cannot be merged (this behavior has been replicated in the embedForm and embedFormForEach methods)
  • r9499: [1.1] sfWidgetFormDate and sfWidgetFormTime widgets now display days, months, hours, minutes and seconds with two digits in selectboxes
  • Milestone 1.1.0 RC2 completed
  • r9501: [1.1] added pre and post validator merge for embedForm and embedFormForEach
  • r9534: [1.1] fixed propel:build-forms when using behaviors
  • r9535: [1.1] fixed sfValidatorDate Validation of Minutes '00' fails
  • r9537: [1.1] removed debug information for tasks that use a database connection (to enable those logs, use -t)
  • r9538, r9539: [1.0, 1.1] fixed sfFillInForm to work correctly with nested arrays like: article[description][] (partially reverted for 1.0 and 1.1)
  • Updated dwhittle branch
  • ...and many other changes
