Seaside320Changelog

Features

• new session cache with better performance and scalability
  • Supports both idle and absolute timeouts as recommended by OWASP Session Management Cheat Sheet
  • access by key is fast (O(1) average case O(n) worst case)
  • reaping expired sessions is proportional (O(n)) to the number of expired session and independent of the total number of sessions (O(1))
  • creating a new session independent of the total number of sessions
  • custom implementation for GemStone/S based on RcKeyValueDictionary
• WAUrl parsing and serialization is context dependent
• In Pharo the web based class browser will use Nautilus if available (Pharo 2+).
• Ajax file uploads (jQuery serialization callback)

Breaking Changes

• the type of an input element is no longer in its class
  • you have to change the CSS selector of the input type eg .checkbox to [type='checkbox']
• inline JavaScript in XHTML in XML mode will no longer work
• we no longer ship JavaScript libraries for generating and parsing JSON
• server adapter authors should send #rfc6265String instead of #oldNetscapeString, #rfc2109String, #rfc2965String, #rfc6265String
• Cookie2 support is gone (only Opera ever supported it but doesn't anymore)
• WADivTag has been removed, WAGenericTag is used instead, if you have class extensions there you need to move them to WAGenericTag
• parsing an URL with a non-numeric port (eg. http://www.seaside.st:8x/) will now signal a WAInvalidUrlSyntaxError
• the following deprecated methods have been removed
  • WARequestCookie class >> #fromString:
  • WAUrl >> #pathString
  • WAPopupAnchorTag >> #name
  • WAPopupAnchorTag >> #name:
• The metacello configuration ConfigurationOfSeaside3's default group now loads Core,Email,JSON,Javascript,JQuery and JQueryUI groups while it previously only loaded the Core group. This enhances discoverability for newcomers and existing users can still configure the load to only load the groups they need.
• We store class bindings instead of classes in configuration values. Therefore all configurations have to be registered again, see #820.
• Dialects with namespaces (eg. VM) need to implement GRPlatform >> #bindingOf:, an example implementation can be found in the comments.
• #262: Creating a new session is O(n)
  • WASession >> #buildCache has been renamed to #createDocumentHandlerCache and returns a new cache instance
  • WASession >> #createCache has been renamed to #createContinuationCache and returns a new cache instance
  • WASession >> #cache has been renamed to #documentHandlers
  • WARegistry >> #keyFor: has been removed
  • the session cache is unidirectional and no longer bidirectional
  • Dictionary >> #valuesCollect: has been removed
