I'm pleased to announce that I have just released Diamond 2.1.0.
There has been a lot of updating to Diamond since last announced
release.
Diamond has also moved repository from my personal Github to an
organization Github.
The reason for that change is because I've started a couple side
projects for a tool-chain that can be used with Diamond.
The organization repository can be found here:
https://github.com/DiamondMVC
2.1.0 is not backward compatible with the versions released at
the personal repository.
Here are some of the changes:
* Diamond now has its own organization repository
* Controller actions can be mapped by attributes (@HttpDefault,
@HttpMandatory, @HttpAction)
* Controllers do no longer require their type to be passed as a
template parameter to the base-controller class
* Views support sections (See:
https://github.com/DiamondMVC/Diamond/wiki/Syntax-Reference#sections)
* Views and web configurations have been split into separate files
* Default headers can be set for different types of requests
(Unlike in the legacy version of Diamond where there were only
one type.) -- These types include gneeral, static files, errors
and not found (404)
* Better construct to control application type (module:
diamond.core.apptype -- isWeb, isWebServer, isWebApi; all of them
are booleans that can be used at compile-time with static if,
instead of the old construct of using version. This works better
because they're conditional, unlike versions)
* Allows you to bind to multiple ips and ports, unlike the legacy
version that only allowed one port for many ip addresses.
* Renames of some members such as request -> httpRequest,
response -> httpResponse
* A routing class has been added to easier access routing data
for requests (module: diamond.http.route)
* Most of the compile-time engine has been rewritten.
* A lot of bugs has been fixed, code is better structured etc.
