+<release version="4.0a2" date="November 12, 2001">
+ <action dev="PD" type="change">
+ Update Phoenix to use the new Avalon Framework Logger interface rather
than
+ directly using LogKits Logger class. This required a backwards
incompatible
+ change in BlockContext. The getLogger() methods now return the Logger
interface
+ rather than LogKits Logger class. If a Block implements Loggable then it
will
+ be passed LogKits Logger, this is required for backwards compatability.
If the
+ Block implements LogEnabled it will receive the new style Logger.
+ </action>
+ <action dev="MT" type="add">
+ Add support for undeploying and unistalling applications. Add support
for separating
+ out install phase from deployment phase and persisting information about
+ application installations.
+ </action>
+ <action dev="PD" type="change">
+ Rework the application deployment format (ie .sar format) to be more in
line
+ with other specifications. See docs/deployment-format.html in
distribution for
+ details. The old format is still supported but is deprecated.
+ </action>
+ <action dev="PH" type="add">
+ Created the start of a Phoenix Developers Kit (PDK) that will enable
+ developers to rapidly become accustom to developing Phoenix applications.
+ </action>
+ <action dev="PD" type="add">
+ Started to incorporate the JMX code more fully into Phoenix kernel.
Started
+ doing this by refactoring the base MBeans and testing using the RIs
agent.
+ </action>
+ <action dev="PD" type="change">
+ Separated code that validated assembly of application into separate
+ classes. The validation is now much stricter and requires that
+ Blocks conform to established patterns. The validation phase should give
+ more reasonable explanations for violations. Extra validation checks
+ include verifying that services offered by a Block are actually
interfaces,
+ that there is no circular dependencies, that declared Blocks and
BlockListeners
+ actually implement Block or BlockListener interface, that the names of
Blocks
+ are valid etc.
