Parable PHP Framework 0.12.7

Parable PHP Framework Changelog

This marks the 66th release of Parable. This project is now in every way the longest-running, actively developed and biggest-in-scope project I've ever developed, especially with the code (warts and all) visible to everyone. And I'm far from done.

Many thanks to @jerry1970, @dmvdbrugge and @FaaPz for all their feedback, issues and PRs. You guys are helping me make something great here 😁

So now we move on to the changelog for 0.12.6 & 0.12.7.

Note: The small, release-less updates such as 0.12.6 usually don't get their own release because the changes are usually too small to really make a difference to anyone. If they fix reported issues, there'll always be a release.

0.12.7

Changes

• \Parable\Http\Output\Json has better error checking in prepare(), doing its best to make sure the content ends up as json. If it can't it'll throw an exception. This fixes issue #18.
• \Parable\Http\Request has received some love:
  • getHeader($key) now also matches on different capitalisation, to make matching easier.
  • getCurrentUrl() was added, which builds the current url from $_SERVER data.
  • getHttpHost() was added, which does its best to return the most reliable value.
  • getRequestUrl() was added.
  • getScriptName() was added.
  • getBody() was added, returning the value of php://input passed to the request.
• ORM\Database has gained setCharset() and getCharset(), so it's now possible to specifically set it. This will also be picked up from the config (key database.charset). This fixes issue #19. Fixed by @jerry1970.

Bugfixes

• \Parable\GetSet\BaseInput now auto-detects whether data is json or form-data and attempts to load it both ways. PHP doesn't care whether it's x-www-form-urlencoded or passed in the body, so it's all about what the data is.
• \Parable\Model\ORM was using the literal property id to check for a primary key. Now uses $this->getTableKey() instead.
• \Parable\Routing\Route didn't rtrim the / off of the urls. This made matching url with url/ impossible.

0.12.6

Changes

• \Parable\Framework\Toolkit::redirectToRoute() now also accepts a $parameters array, to build route Urls with params like \Parable\Routing\Router::getRouteUrlByName() does.

Bugfixes

• Init\Example (structure file) did not yet use or explain the use of HOOK_x constants on \Parable\Framework\App.
