Change Log

List of Calagator releases and changes, with the latest at the top:

  • [master]
  • v1.0.0 - [!] Major Changes [!]
    • [!] This release completely changes the way in which Calagator is distributed, moving from a standalone Rails app to a Rails engine. Instead of deploying Calagator instance from a modified version of this code, Calagator is now included as a gem within a new Rails app. Please review the updated installation instructions in INSTALL.md.
    • If you are upgrading a site based on an earlier version of Calagator, please drop us a line. We've recently upgraded calagator.org and can help to point you in the right direction.
    • [THEME] The theme system has been removed, favoring the view overriding functionality provided by Rails engines. This works much the same way as the previous theme system, allowing any Calagator view to be overridden by creating a file at the corresponding path within your app's app/views/calagator directory.
    • [SETTING] The YAML-based settings and secrets mechanisms have been replaced with an initializer inside the host application. See INSTALL.md for details.
    • [MIGRATION] Database migrations are now installed into your host application.

Pre-1.0

Prior to version 1.0, Calagator was distributed as a standalone Rails app instead of an engine. Some additional labels are relevant in these changes that are not used above.

  • [THEME] - Changed theme structure, see the themes/README.txt file for details.
