Release Notes for Melody 1.0 (Release candidate 2)

The following are notable changes introduced since the release of Melody 1.0 (Release candidate 1, Build 35). You can view the all Melody 1.0 (Release candidate 2, Build 36) milestone tickets in Lighthouse.

Release Summary

As we near our first production-quality, stable build of Melody 1.0, you will find the types of issues we address are smaller and smaller in scale and ambition. Our goal is to bring stability to the codebase, and thus we operate under the policy that there are no new features allowed.

Notable Changes

• Added some additional variables to the WidgetSetLoop tag to assist designers by providing them more information about the widget set being processed. The variables are: ws_name (the widget set name) and ws_identifier (the unique identifier for the widget set). Case #809

• When organizing Widget Sets, sort the Available Widgets by name.

• Updated a few core libraries to the most recent versions from CPAN, including Data::ObjectDriver.

• Added support for the top attribute to the following template tags: BlogCommentCount, EntryCommentCount, CategoryCommentCount, and Comments. The top attribute, when set to true, will return only the comment count for top level comments, or comments made directly to the post (not comments in reply to other comments).

• Added support for a replies_only parameter to the comment_listing app mode which returns a JSON encoded comment listing for a given entry. When replies_only is set to true, only comments made directly on the entry are returned. Comments made in response to other comments are omitted.

• jQuery 1.5.1 included.

• DebugMode was reset to "0" making Melody more friendly and usable for non-developers.

• Lots of bug fixes and refinement.

Case #737 - Replaced silent die messages with Carp:croak calls. This seems to be the only means of getting Melody to stop and produce an informative error message without significant refactoring. The caller of the method that was changed doesn't check for an MT-style undefined return value errors. This is why the system continues until DBI tries to do something and then crashes and burns.
