CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

• 0.3.7
  • Adaptors - use external libraries like Backbone seamlessly with Ractive (docs on the wiki)
  • Dependency tracking within functions, by monitoring ractive.get())
  • Create live nodelists with the findAll() method (docs on the wiki
  • Observers are guaranteed to fire before DOM updates, unless {defer:true} is passed as an option to ractive.observe() (docs)
  • Triples behave correctly inside table elements etc (issue #167)
  • Delimiters ('{{' and '}}') can be overridden globally with Ractive.delimiters and Ractive.tripleDelimiters
  • Fix #130 (event handler parameters and array modification)
  • Tap event respects spacebar keypresses while a suitable element is focused
  • updateModel() method to resync two-way bindings if they are manipulated external (e.g. $(input).val(newValue))
  • Better handling of HTML entities
  • Expressions with unresolved references will still render, using undefined in place of unknown references
  • Hover event fires on the equivalent of mouseenter/mouseleave rather than mouseover/mouseout
  • Various bugfixes and stability/performance improvements
• 0.3.6
  • Better two-way binding - support for multiple checkboxes and file inputs
  • Experimental 'magic mode' - use ES5 getters and setters instead of .set() and .get(). See #110
  • More efficient event binding, and dynamic proxy event names
  • Support for pointer events with tap - thanks lluchs
  • Iterate through properties of an object - see #115
  • Bugfixes and refactoring
• 0.3.5
  • Experimental support for components - see this thread for details
  • Support for component - thanks CamShaft
  • Option to use on-click style event binding (as opposed to proxy-click)
  • Bug fixes
• 0.3.4
  • ractive.find() and ractive.findAll() convenience methods (equivalent to ractive.el.querySelector() and ractive.el.querySelectorAll())
  • Subclasses created with Ractive.extend() can now have a beforeInit method that will be called before rendering
  • Expressions no longer need to be wrapped in parentheses. Section closing mustaches for expression sections can have any content
  • Various minor bugfixes and improvements
• 0.3.3
  • Maintenance and bugfixes
• 0.3.2
  • IE8 support!
• 0.3.1
  • Transitions - fine-grained control over how elements are rendered and torn down
  • Inline partials
  • ractive.observe() method
  • Smart updates when using array mutator methods, reducing the amount of DOM manipulation that happens
  • Changed proxy event and event definition API (BREAKING CHANGE!)
  • Improved Ractive.extend
  • SVG elements no longer require the xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' attribute - it is assumed, as it is in browsers
  • ractive.animate() can accept a map of keypaths to values
  • fullscreen convenience methods
  • removed ractive.render() method
  • added ractive.renderHTML() method, for rendering template+data (in browser or server environment)
• 0.3.0
  • Major overhaul, particularly of the parser
  • Expressions - JS-like expressions within templates, with robust tracking of multiple dependencies. These replace formatters
  • Renamed Ractive.compile -> Ractive.parse
  • Added adaptors (e.g. Backbone Model adaptors)
  • Various performance enhancements and bug fixes
• 0.2.2
  • Added event proxies. In lieu of documentation, for now, see #27
  • Made array modification more robust and performant
• 0.2.1
  • Cleaned up some redundant code following 0.2.0 overhaul, some minor performance benefits
  • Linting and refactoring
  • Fixed bug where Ractive would attempt to use innerHTML with non-HTML elements (i.e. SVG text)
• 0.2.0
  • Major architectural overhaul. Data is now stored on the Ractive instance rather than on a separate viewmodel, allowing for cleaner and more efficient code (at the cost of the ability to share one viewmodel among many instances - a theoretical benefit at best). Data is flattened and cached, permitting lightning-fast lookups even with complex data.
  • Templates can be sanitized at compile-time to remove script tags and other hypothetical security risks. In lieu of documentation see issue #12
• 0.1.9
  • More complete compliance with mustache test suite
  • More efficient compilation (consecutive text nodes are concatenated, etc)
  • Cleaned up public API, internal functions now kept private
  • .animate() now interpolates between arrays, and between objects
  • Complex element attributes wait until the end of a .set() cycle to update, to avoid repeatedly modifying the DOM unnecessarily
  • Element property names are used instead of attributes wherever possible (e.g. we use node.className='...' instead of node.setAttribute('class','...') internally)
  • Various bug fixes
• 0.1.8
  • Now using DOM fragments for better performance
  • Better support for legacy browsers
  • Vastly better two-way data binding
  • set() and get() now accept arrays of keys, for edge cases involving keys with periods
  • Bug fixes and refactoring
• 0.1.7
  • Renamed project from Anglebars to Ractive
  • Added support for animation
  • A shed-load of bug fixes, and a big dollop of refactoring
• 0.1.6
  • Bug fixes!
  • Modify arrays so that pop, push and other mutator methods trigger a view update
  • Removed half-finished, flaky async code. Async mode may return later
  • set events are called when a) view.set() is called, b) twoway bindings trigger them, c) array mutator methods cause an update
• 0.1.5
  • Split into Anglebars.compile and Anglebars.runtime, to shave a few kilobytes off in production
  • Simplified API - removed compiled and compiledPartials init options (in favour of allowing either compiled or string templates), and removed observe and unobserve instance methods
  • Added event methods - on, off and fire
  • Anglebars.extend for creating subclasses with default options (e.g. templates) and additional methods
  • Support passing in jQuery collections (and lookalikes), and CSS selectors (if browser supports document.querySelector)
  • Index references - {{#section:i}}<!-- {{i}} evaluates to array index inside here -->{{/section}}
• 0.1.4
  • started maintaining a changelog...
