[Solar-talk] Solar 0.25.0 released

[Paul M Jones]

Hi all --

I've just uploaded Solar 0.25.0; you can it from the usual location.   
The changes are relatively minimal, mostly bugfixes and minor  
enhancements, with one exception:  there is a BC break on one of the  
'nodes' table indexes, which is pointed out in the change notes.  I  
copy the change notes verbatim, below.

Please let me know if you have any problems with this release, and  
thank you for using Solar.

* General

     * Solar.config.php

         * [FIX] now uses 'name' key for sqlite adapter; thanks,  
Micahel Caplan

         * [CHG] updated example config file per note from Travis

* Solar

     * [ADD] Added loadInterface() method per notes from Antti,  
Rodrigo, and
       Clay. Thanks guys.

     * [ADD] Method Solar::temp() to get the system temporary  
directory, with
       an optional sub-path added to it.

* Solar_Auth

     * [ADD] Added $uid property and session store key in support of  
numeric
       user IDs reported by adapters.

* Solar_Auth_Adapter

     * [ADD] Added $_uid property and getUid() method to support  
numeric user
       ID values (as opposed to string handles).

* Solar_Auth_Adapter_Ini

     * [ADD] Added support for 'email', 'moniker', 'uri', and 'uid'  
values.

* Solar_Auth_Adapter_Sql

     * [ADD] Added support for 'uid' values.

* Solar_Auth_Adapter_Typekey

     * [ADD] Added pseudo-support for 'uid' values. (TypeKey doesn't  
actually
       return such a value, but it's needed for consistency with other
       adapters.)

* Solar_Cache_Adapter_File

     * [CHG] Updated to use new Solar::temp() functionality.

* Solar_Content_Abstract

     * [FIX] In fetchTags() method, deconflicted 'name' to  
'tags.name' in GROUP
       and ORDER clauses. Thanks for the patch, Travis Swicegood.

* Solar_Controller_Page

     * [ADD] New $_helper_class property lets you add helper classes  
between
       the "Solar" final fallback and the vendor- and app-specific  
helpers.

     * [CHG] The _render() method now gives better exception  
information when a
       template is not found, and uses ERR_TEMPLATE_NOT_FOUND instead of
       ERR_VIEW_NOT_FOUND (to distinguish from PartialNotFound).

     * [CHG] The _getView() method no longer adds Solar_View_Helper  
to the
       class stack; Solar_View automatically sets that as the final  
fallback
       regardless.

* Solar_Docs_Apiref

     * [CHG] Now uses the $_ignore property again to ignore certain
       undocumented internal (PHP) classes, especially the Exception  
class.

     * [CHG] No more tracking of internal classes.

     * [CHG] Removed "fake" doc array for internal Exception class.

* Solar_Exception

     * [ADD] Method getInfo() now takes an optional key, to get the  
value of
       just one info key (default is still to get the entire array).

* Solar_Model_Nodes

     * [BRK] The "unique_in_area" multiple index has changed; please  
update the
       "nodes" table manually.

       Previously, it was a unique index on "area_id" and "name".  
This causes
       problems when you have two different node types with the same  
name. As a
       result, the name has changed to "area_type_name" and is a  
unique index
       on "area_id", "type", and "name".

       To update existing tables, issue two SQL commands similar to  
these:

       DROP INDEX nodes__unique_in_area__i ON nodes;
       CREATE UNIQUE INDEX nodes__area_type_name__i ON nodes  
(area_id, type, name);

* Solar_Sql_Adapter_*

     * [CHG] The nextSequence() method now explicitly calls _connect 
() before
       attempting to increment. Thanks, Michael Caplan.

     * [CHG] The quote() method no longer quotes numeric values, to  
soothe
       SQLite and others.

* Solar_Sql_Select

     * [CHG] Methods leftJoin() and innerJoin() no longer require  
that you
       select columns (thanks Antti).

* Solar_View

     * [CHG] Modified partial() method to return a PartialNotFound  
exception
       when the requested partial is not found; this makes error- 
checking more
       accurate.

* Solar_View_Helper_Form

     * [CHG] Form tag is now optional at fetch() time, per note from  
Rodrigo
       Moraes.

     * [CHG] When an element is not found, now adds the element info  
to the
       exception.

* Solar_Role_Adapter_File

     * [FIX] When checking file lines, now removes all whitespace  
characters
       before splitting at ":" and ",". Per bug noted by Clay where last
       user-handle on the line was not recognized, because of the  
trailing
       newline character.
