Gorillib Changelog

Version 1.0

2012-08 - Version 1.0.3-pre

Deprecations

The following have been relocated to gorillib/deprecated/{old name}. So, if you were using gorillib/array/random and can't stand to migrate yet, just include gorillib/deprecated/array/random instead.

• deprecated Array#random_element -- Array#sample exists.
• combined array/average, array/sorted_median and array/sorted_percentile under array/simple_statistics. Just include that instead.
  • Array#average, Array#sorted_median and Array#sorted_percentile are not deprecated, just moved.
  • Array#sorted_sample is now Array#sorted_nths. There is a sample method on array with a non-similar purpose. Also modified it to land on the half-stride: [1,2,3,4,5].sorted_nths(2) is [2,4] not [3,5].
  • metaprogramming/aliasing.rb

Organized files in gorillib/model

• gorillib/model/factories is now gorillib/factories.rb
• gorillib/builder/field was empty, removed it

Questions

• move compact_blank, deep_compact to enumerable/compact?

Other

• stripping back the gem dependencies.
  • json & OJ alongside bundler and rake in the :development group

2012-06 - Version 1.0.2-pre: First wave of refactors

positional args:

• You must explicitly declare the field to be positional in its definition:

  class Smurf include Gorillib::Model field :smurfiness, Integer, :position => 0 field :weapon, String, :position => 1 end

  Positions must be non-conflicting and in minimal order: if a subclass would bomb out if it declared field :foo, Whatever, :position => 1 (or any position besides 2).

• Builder's receive! method returns the block's return value, not self.

2012-06 - Version 1.0.1-pre: First wave of refactors

model:

• receive! is now called from the initiailizer.

• the initializer now takes (*positional_args, attrs), assembles the positional_args into the attrs, and hands them to receive!.

• the way you get a "magic get-set attribute" in builder is by saying magic, not field -- field means the same thing as it does in model.

collection:

Gorillib::Collection has been broken up as follows:

• A generic collection stores objects uniquely, in the order added. It responds to:

  • receive!, values, to_a, each and each_value;
  • length, size, empty?, blank?

• Gorillib::Collection additionally lets you store and retrieve things by label:

  • [], []=, include?, fetch, delete, each_pair, to_hash.

• Gorillib::ModelCollection adds:

  • key_method: called on objects to get their key; to_key by default.
  • factory: generates new objects, converts received objects
  • <<: adds object under its key_method key
  • receive!s an array by auto-keying the elements, or a hash by trusting what you give it
  • update_or_create: if absent, creates object with given attributes and key_method => key`; if present, updates with given attributes.

what this means for you:

• Collection no longer has factory functionality -- that is now in ModelCollection.
• The signature of ModelCollection#initialize is initialize(key_meth, factory) -- the reverse of what was.

2012-04 - Version 1.0.0-pre: DSL Magic

New functionality

• pathname/path_to -- templated file paths
• serialization/to_zaml -- predictable, structured YAML writer
• test_helpers/capture_output -- swallows $stdout/$stderr for testing purposes

Renamed

• moved gorillib/serialization to gorillib/serialization/to_wire
• renamed datetime/flat to datetime/to_flat

Removed:

• receiver and receiver/* -- see property and others
• hash/tree_merge and hashlike/tree_merge -- use overlays
• hash/indifferent_access -- use mash
• metaprogramming/cattr_accessor -- use class_attribute
• metaprogramming/mattr_accessor -- discouraged
• struct/* -- discouraged

Version 0.x

2011-12-11 - Version 0.1.8: Gemfile fixes; Log.dump shows caller

• Gorillib has no real dependencies on spork, rcov, Redcloth, etc; these are only useful for rake tasks. Dialed down the urgency of version req's on rspec, yard, etc, and moved the esoterica (spork, rcov, watchr, RedCloth) into bundler groups. Bundler will still install them if you 'bundle install' from the gorillib directory, but the gemspec no longer forces upstream requirers to consider them dependencies
• Log.dump adds the immediate caller to the end of its output
• fix to Gemfile so that early versions of jruby don't hate on it

2011-08-21 - Version 0.1.6: Serialization and DeepHash

• Serialization with #to_wire -- like #to_hash, but hands #to_wire down the line to any element that contains it (as opposed to #to_hash, which should just do that)
• Hashlike#tree_merge: combined into the one version; gave it a block in the middle to do any fancy footwork
• deep_hash -- allows dotted (a.b.c) access to a nested hash
• Array#random_element -- gets a random member of the array.

Will soon be deprecating Receiver, in favor of the far more powerful Icss::ReceiverModel in the icss library.

2011-06-29 - Version 0.1.3: Fancier receivers

• can now mix activemodel into a receiver, getting all its validation and other awesomeness
• added receiver_model as an experimental 'I'm a fancy cadillac-style receiver'

2011-06-24 Version 0.1.2: Receiver body fixes

• Better @Object.try@ (via active_support)
• Receiver body can now be an interpolated string or a hash; this lets you use anonymous classes. Added tuple methods (does an in-order traversal).
• Bugfix for inclusion order in ActsAsHash

Version 0.1.0: Hashlike refactor, Receiver arrives

v0.1.0 brings:

• Receiver module
• refeactoring of hash decorations into a new hashlike class
• ability to inject hashlike behavior into Struct

Version 0.0.7: full test coverage!
