### Release 4.0-M1 - in Subversion

Type | Changes | By
--- | --- | ---
| Updated dependency on commons-collections to 3.2.1 | tv
| Updated dependency on commons-configuration to 1.6 | tv
| Updated dependency on commons-lang to 2.5 | tv
| Updated dependency on commons-email to 1.2 | tv
| Move to Java-5 generics. | tv
| Move to Java-5 generics. | ludwig
| TurbineURI was using the deprecated encode methods of URLEncoder. Fixes TRB-80. Thanks to Georg Kallidis. | tv
| Remove remains of old parser management: ParserUtils | tv
| RunData.getContentType() was returning an empty string when it shouldn't | tv
| Merged changes of the 2.3-branch into the trunk. | tv
| Merged JSON-RPC-Service of the 2.3-branch into the trunk. | tv
| Merged UIService of the 2.3-branch into the trunk. | tv
| Merged TorqueSecurityService of the 2.3-branch (temporarily) into the trunk. | tv
| Replaced the XSLT-Service with its Fulcrum counterpart. | tv
| Removed the XMLRPC-Service. There is a more current alternative implementation available in the Fulcrum repository. | tv
| Adjusted the IntakeTool to use IntakeServiceFacade instead of Intake | tv
| Made TurbineException extend JDK-1.4-Exception instead of commons-lang NestableException. | tv
| Moved the initialization of the pipeline so that all services are initialized first and can be used in the pipeline. | tv
| Added a getLoader() method to the AssemblerBrokerService to allow dynamic loaders. Loaders are expected to be provided by the module factories. | tv
| Moved the different loader caches into the AssemblerBrokerService and centralized several loader features. The loaders do no longer extend Hashtable. | tv
| Removed the references to the different module types from TurbineConstants and tried to reduce the number of inter-dependencies in the module, loader and broker-classes. This should lead to a transparent module configuration without any hard-wired module types. | tv
| Ported the class cache for JavaBaseFactory from Turbine 2.3 | tv
| Use the transparent service lookup in all service lookups | tv
| Initialize the locale of RunData, the ParameterParser and the CookieParser from the HttpServletRequest. Make RunData.setLocale propagate the locale setting to the parsers. | tv
| Make sure that Turbine uses the ParserService to get correctly initialized parser objects. Fixes TRB-39. | tv
| Added missing format() methods to LocalizationTool. | seade
| A FileItem in a ParameterParser added to TurbineURI or TemplateURI was resulting in a NPE. Fixes TRB-8. Thanks to Gunther Olesch. | seade
| TurbineURI was mishandling the empty String. Fixes TRB-16. Thanks to Jürgen Hoffmann. | seade
| Updated jar dependency: javamail to 1.3.3 | seade
| The avalon-framework-4.3 allows to create an Avalon logger based on a commons logger. | sgoeschl
| BrowserDetector was throwing a NPE for recent versions of Opera - this has been fixed. | seade
| Setting all members of BaseServiceBroker to private as it should be. | sgoeschl
| Removed hack in Turbine.java forcing an early init of the AvalonComponentService. The removal could potentially break existing code if the AvalonComponentService is not configured to be early initialized since the requested service wouldn't be found. | sgoeschl
| Implementing transparent service lookup using TurbineServiceProviders | sgoeschl
| The AvalonComponentService does not use the deprecated Component interface and ComponentException. | sgoeschl
| Restructured the dependency section to distinguish between ECM and YAAFI dependencies. | sgoeschl
| Use the Fulcrum components from Fulcrum 3.0.0 | sgoeschl
| Added YAAFI Avalon service container and the corresponding TurbineYaafiComponentService. | sgoeschl
| Removed remaining Merlin artifacts | sgoeschl
| Handle non US-ASCII encoding with multipart/form-data mimetype better. Thanks to Leandro Rodrigo Saad Cruz. | epugh
| Remove Merlin service. When the replacement for Merlin (Metro) is released, then add back in support. | epugh
| Use RELEASED versions of Fulcrum components! | epugh
| Remove old security services based on couple Torque. | epugh
| Remove dependencies on Stratum and Torque. Torque is now completely optional for Turbine. Stratum has been replaced by the AvalonComponentService. | epugh
| The velocity page formatting macros have been updated to generate xhtml compatible html. | seade

### Release 2.4-M1 - 2004-08-14

Type | Changes | By
--- | --- | ---
| Update to Commons Configuration 1.0-RC1. TurbineConfiguration.xml files should switch from <dom4j className="org.apache.commons.configuration.DOM4JConfiguration" fileName="conf/test/TurbineResources.xml"/> to <xml fileName="conf/test/TurbineResources.xml"/> syntax. | epugh
| Refactored how Turbine sets up it's ServerData object. Removed the use of RunData from the process. | epugh
| Removed dependency on deprecated Log4jFactory in favor of Log4jLogger. |
| Replaced existing Maven plugin with Hennings' META: Maven Environment for Turbine Applications plugin. |
| Updated to use Stratum b5 which properly supports the upcoming 1.0 release of Commons Configuration. Also removed uses of getVector which has been removed from the Configuration API. | epugh
| Backported the Pipeline from Turbine 3 to Turbine 2.4. The pipeline allows you to define via an XML file all the stages for processing a request. This makes it simple to add your own custom steps to be applied to each HTTP request coming into Turbine. You will need to add the pipeline.xml file. Added methods to many classes to allow the use of PipelineData as an alternative to RunData. Added new PipelineDataApplicationTool interface for tools which use PipelineData instead of RunData. | epugh
| Maven Plugin for Turbine moved to /extensions directory. The torque codegeneration of objects for the Schedule and Security services was moved to a new project /extensions/torque. This removes all the nasty logic required to code generate the torque objects before hand. Should help new users work with Turbine as well as allow other backend providers for the Schedule and LDAP security services. The multiproject plugin is now used to build Turbine. | epugh
| Removed deprecated Turbine Security methods. |
| Added to website documentation the Maven Plugin for Turbine. Now has goals to help with inplace development of Turbine apps. |
| Upgraded to commons-pool-1.1 |
| A means of initializing Velocity action modules has been added. |
| Added first cut of the MerlinComponentService which uses the Avalon Merlin container. Merlin has many many features to help with dealing with components. Thanks to Peter Courcoux. | epugh
| The cache, crypto, localization, intake, factory, and mimetype services have now been deprecated in favor of the Fulcrum versions as well. | epugh
| Turbine security now uses the Fulcrum crypto component. | epugh
| The intake service within Turbine has been deprecated in favor of the Fulcrum Intake service. The intake pull tool has been updated to reflect this. | epugh
| The localization service within Turbine has been deprecated in favor of the Fulcrum Localization service. The localization pull tool has been updated to reflect this. | epugh
| Fixed problem in Intake with the "remove" method in IntakeTool that is triggered by a "removeAll". |
| When there is more than one instance of a group and a "removeAll" is done the "remove" method is called for each of the instances of the group. If a mutiply instantiated group is the last one to be removed, it's parameter entries will already have been removed and "getStrings" returns null, which is not being handled in the code. |
| Intake now handles multiValued="true" on type="int" fields correctly. The get/set methods of the underlying object need to deal with an array of ints. The intake processing for other primitive types has also been updated, though not tested to the same extent as int. |
| HttpUtils.httpDateFormat had the year set as 'yyyyy', should be 'yyyy' therefore setting expiry dates failed. |
| doXXX events would eat exceptions while doPerform would bubble them up. Added property action.event.bubbleexception which is true by default that applies to both types and either bubbles them up, or logs and sinks them. | epugh
| The intake validators were fixed so that fields with required=false rules no longer attempt to execute the remaining rules when no input is provided. A minLength > 0 rule is no longer synonymous with required=true. |
| Actions triggered from html input elements with type="button" are now processed correctly (the trailing ".x" and ".y" are removed from the event names). |
| Intake was fixed so that fields with required elements with value=false can later be enabled with field.setRequired(true) (i.e. you should do this rather than using the deprecated required-message element). |
| Intake was fixed so that DateString will use the "formatn" (where n >= 1) rules to parse the input and then the "format" rule to format it (the "format" rule is also used to parse the date if there are no "formatn" rules or they are not able to parse it). In order to retrieve the correctly formatted DateString value you need to use $group.foo.StringValue rather than $group.foo.Value (you can do this for all values, not just DateString). |
| Intake now makes use of the the emptyValue attribute from the field elements when mapping from the group to the object when no value has been set. This makes it possible to clear values in an existing object that is being overwritten with Intake data using group.setProperties(obj) (or you can provide non-null values in your intake.xml file). Make sure you do not inadvertently include the primary key for the object in the intake group without actually setting it to the appropriate value (it shouldn't be in the group anyway). |
| Fixed the intake DateString flexible rule so that it applies to the format rules and not just to the default locale format. |
| DateFormatter now allows for a differnet date format to be provided via tool.dateTool.format in TurbineResources.properties. |
| DirectResponseLayout is provided to allow direct writing to ServletOutputStream when VelocityOnlyLayout is the default. To use it you need to add data.declareDirectResponse(); and then data.setLayout("DirectResponseLayout"); to your action class. Thanks to Peter Courcoux for the code. |
