1.5

3rd Oct, 2006

• Camping::Apps stores an array of classes for all loaded apps.
• bin/camping can be given a directory. Like: camping examples/
• Console mode — thank zimbatm. Use: camping -C yourapp.rb
• Call controllers with Camping.method_missing.

    Tepee.get(:Index) #=> (Response)
    Blog.post(:Delete, id) #=> (Response)
  
    Blog.post(:Login, :input => {'username' => 'admin', 'password' => 'camping'})
      #=> #<Blog::Controllers::Login @user=... >
  
    Blog.get(:Info, :env => {:HTTP_HOST => 'wagon'})
      #=> #<Blog::Controllers::Info @env={'HTTP_HOST'=>'wagon'} ...>
  

• Using \r\n instead of \n on output. FastCGI has these needs.
• ActiveRecord no longer required or installed.
• If you refer to Models::Base, however, ActiveRecord will be loaded with autoload. (see lib/camping/db.rb)
• new Camping::FastCGI.serve which will serve a whole directory of apps (see code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/wiki/TheCampingServer)
• ~/.campingrc can contain database connection info if you want your default to be something other than SQLite.

    database:
      adapter: mysql
      username: camping
      socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
      password: NOFORESTFIRES
      database: camping
  

• controllers are now ordered. uses the inherited hook to keep track of all classes created with R. those classes are scanned, in order, when a request is made. any other controllers are handled first. so if you plan on overriding the urls method, be sure to subclass from R().
• Console mode will load .irbrc in the working directory, if present. (for example, in my ~/git/balloon directory, i have this in the .irbrc: include Balloon::Models when camping -C balloon.rb gets run, the models all get included in main.)
• And, of course, many other bugfixes from myself and the loyal+kind zimbatm…
• Markaby updated to 0.5. (See its CHANGELOG.)

1.4.2

18th May, 2006

• Efficient file uploads for multipart/form-data POSTs.
• Camping tool now uses Mongrel, if available. If not, sticks with WEBrick.
• Multiple apps can be loaded with the camping tool, each mounted according to their file name.

1.4.1

3rd May, 2006

• Streaming HTTP support. If body is IO, will simply pass to the controller. Mongrel, in particular, supports this nicely.

1.4

11th April, 2006

• Moved Camping::Controllers::Base to Camping::Base.
• Moved Camping::Controllers::R to Camping::R.
• New session library (lib/camping/session.rb).
• WEBrick handler (lib/camping/webrick.rb) and Mongrel handler (lib/camping/mongrel.rb).
• Helpers#URL, builds a complete URL for a route. Returns a URI object. This way relative links could just return self.URL.path.
• Base#initialize takes over some of Base#service‘s duties.
• ENV now available as @env in controllers and views.
• Beautiful multi-page docs without frames!

1.3

28th January, 2006

• bin/camping: an application launcher.
• Camping.run(request, response) now changed to controller = Camping.run(request, env)
• This means outputting the response is the wrapper/server‘s job. See bin/camping, you can do a controller.to_s at the least.
• Controllers::Base.env is the new thread-safe home for ENV.
• The input hash now works more like Rails params. You can call keys like methods or with symbols or strings.
• Queries are now parsed more like PHP/Rails, in that you can denote structure with brackets: post[user]=_why;post[id]=2
• Auto-prefix table names, to help prevent name clash.
• Helpers.errors_for simple validation.
• Lots of empty :href and :action attributes, a bug.
• New single-page flipbook RDoc template.

1.2

23rd January, 2006

• Camping.goes allows fresh modules build from all Camping parts.
• File uploads now supported (multipart/form-data).
• Helpers.R can rebuild routes.
• Helpers./ for tracing paths from the root.

1.1

19th January, 2006

• Allowed request and response streams to be passed in, to allow WEBrick and FastCGI support.

1.0

17th January, 2006

• Initial checkin, see announcement at redhanded.hobix.com/bits/campingAMicroframework.html.
