re-frame/CHANGES.md

Planned for v0.4.0

• automatically wrap subscriptions in a reaction (removing the need for over 10 keystrokes per handler!!). Just kidding there are better reasons than that.
• further develop the debugging story.
• modifiy todoMVC for new subscriptions approach
• document new sbscriptions approach
• move contents of README across to Wiki. Make Readme simpler and more pragmatic.
• produce a more fully featured todomvc (beyond the standard one), todomvc-with-extras
  • use enrich to handle todo duplication
  • add prismatic schema
  • show testing
  • show debug
  • undo

v0.3.0 (2015-04-15)

Headline

• the middleware after and enrich now call the supplied function f with both db and v (previously just db). Because javascript is so forgiving about function arity, this change is backwards compatible.
• new event handler middleware log-ex for correctly printing handler stacktraces. See explanation.
• ongoing improvements to the docs in Wiki

Other

• move to reagent v0.5.0
• fix undo bug which could result in incorrect explanations.
• improve todomvc's use of localstorage
• experimental work with slimmer.js for testing
• correct README wiki links
• license.txt was incorrectly named previously

v0.2.0 (2015-03-06)

Breaking

Renames:

• register-pure-handler renamed to register-handler (and existing low level register-handler becomes register-handler-base but is not a part of the API).
• remove apply-event middleware and replace with similar trim-v
• rename register-subs to register-sub (avoid confusion over possible plurals)
• rename set-max-undos to set-max-undos!

Changes:

• undoable middleware is now a factory. Where before you used this undoable, you must now use this (undoable "some explanation"). See further below.

Headline

• exceptions in handler now reported more sanely via console.error. (core.async really messes with a good stack)
• example todomvc available in examples folder.
• Wiki documentation is now more substantial.
• introduce new handler middleware: debug, enrich and after

Other:

• exceptions in a go loop are a special type of hell. Improve the reporting of exceptions happening in event handlers.
• allow Middleware to be registered as a vector. data > functions > macros
• fix two bugs in undo implementation
• name licence file correctly, thanks to @smith
• fix typo in readme, thanks to @btheado
• Readme now admits to 200 lines of code, not 100.
• dispatch now explicitly returns nil
• travis integration (not that we have any tests currently)

Details On Undo Changes

The undo/redo feature built into re-frame is now more functional (at the cost of a breaking change).

There is now an explanation associated with each undo state describing modification. This allows an app to inform the user what actions they will be undoing or redoing.

Previously undoable was simply middleware, but it is now a middleware factory.

Essentially, that means you can't use it "plain" anymore, and instead you must call it, like this (undoable "Some explanation")

The explanation provided to undoable must be either a string (static explanation) or a function (db event) -> string, allowing you to customize the undo message based on details of the event.
