Sinatra 0.9.2 Released
Here’s what the changelog says. The most important thing in this release is the compatibility to Rack 1.0. Well, the confirmation of the compatibility is more like it…;)
= 0.9.2 / 2009-05-18
* This version is compatible with Rack 1.0. [Rein Henrichs]
* The development-mode unhandled exception / error page has been
greatly enhanced, functionally and aesthetically. The error
page is used when the :show_exceptions option is enabled and an
exception propagates outside of a route handler or before filter.
[Simon Rozet / Matte Noble / Ryan Tomayko]* Backtraces that move through templates now include filenames and
line numbers where possible. [#51 / S. Brent Faulkner]* All templates now have an app-level option for setting default
template options (:haml, :sass, :erb, :builder). The app-level
option value must be a Hash if set and is merged with the
template options specified to the render method (Base#haml,
Base#erb, Base#builder). [S. Brent Faulkner, Ryan Tomayko]* The method signature for all template rendering methods has
been unified: “def engine(template, options={}, locals={})”.
The options Hash now takes the generic :views, :layout, and
:locals options but also any template-specific options. The
generic options are removed before calling the template specific
render method. Locals may be specified using either the
:locals key in the options hash or a second Hash option to the
rendering method. [#191 / Ryan Tomayko]* The receiver is now passed to “configure” blocks. This
allows for the following idiom in top-level apps:
configure { |app| set :foo, app.root + ‘/foo’ }
[TJ Holowaychuck / Ryan Tomayko]* The “sinatra/test” lib is deprecated and will be removed in
Sinatra 1.0. This includes the Sinatra::Test module and
Sinatra::TestHarness class in addition to all the framework
test helpers that were deprecated in 0.9.1. The Rack::Test
lib should be used instead: http://gitrdoc.com/brynary/rack-test
[#176 / Simon Rozet]* Development mode source file reloading has been removed. The
“shotgun” (http://rtomayko.github.com/shotgun/) program can be
used to achieve the same basic functionality in most situations.
Passenger users should use the “tmp/always_restart.txt”
file (http://tinyurl.com/c67o4h). [#166 / Ryan Tomayko]* Auto-requiring template libs in the erb, builder, haml, and
sass methods is deprecated due to thread-safety issues. You must
require the template libs explicitly in your app file. [Simon Rozet]* A new Sinatra::Base#route_missing method was added. route_missing
is sent when no route matches the request or all route handlers
pass. The default implementation forwards the request to the
downstream app when running as middleware (i.e., “@app” is
non-nil), or raises a NotFound exception when no downstream app
is defined. Subclasses can override this method to perform custom
route miss logic. [Jon Crosby]* A new Sinatra::Base#route_eval method was added. The method
yields to the block and throws :halt with the result. Subclasses
can override this method to tap into the route execution logic.
[TJ Holowaychuck]* Fix the “-x” (enable request mutex / locking) command line
argument. Passing -x now properly sets the :lock option.
[S. Brent Faulkner, Ryan Tomayko]* Fix writer (“foo=”) and predicate (“foo?”) methods in extension
modules not being added to the registering class.
[#172 / Pat Nakajima]* Fix in-file templates when running alongside activesupport and
fatal errors when requiring activesupport before sinatra
[#178 / Brian Candler]* Fix various issues running on Google AppEngine.
[Samuel Goebert, Simon Rozet]* Fix in-file templates __END__ detection when __END__ exists with
other stuff on a line [Yoji Shidara]
