Hi all, We were almost ready for a 1.0 RC1 but I thought that it would be better to release another beta version first. Considering the amount of deprecated classes since beta 22 it also seems safer and won't confuse new users as those deprecations will be removed in RC1.
WARNING: if you upgrade existing applications, please read the updated tutorial and browse the Javadocs to learn about the new URI template syntax (no longer directly based on Regex): http://www.restlet.org/tutorial http://www.restlet.org/docs/api/org/restlet/util/Template.html As usual, thanks to all the contributors, including: - AJ Barnes - Aldo Bucchi - Jeff Walter - John D. Mitchell - Peter Murray - Thierry Boileau Detailed changes log: http://www.restlet.org/docs/changes Direct download link: http://www.restlet.org/downloads/restlet-1.0b23.zip Best regards, Jerome =========== Changes log =========== 1.0 beta 23 (2006-12-19) [Bugs fixed] - Fixed several documentation typos. Reported by John D. Mitchell and Peter Murray. - Fixed issue with "sub-tagged" Language metadata (like "en-us"), sub-tag comparison must ignore the case. Reported by Jeff Walter and Andrew Barnes. Contributed by Thierry Boileau. - Fixed issues in parsing of "accept*" HTTP headers. Added unit tests. Reported by AJ Barnes and Jeff Walter. - Fixed potential NPE in HostScorer. - Fixed RDF media type from "application/rdf-xml" to "application/rdf+xml". Reported by Aldo Bucchi. - Made VirtualHost-based routing case-insensitive. Suggested by Thierry Boileau. - The Request class now ensures that a referrer reference don't include a fragment. Reported by Thierry Boileau. - Added list of variants references in the body of a 406 message. Reported by Thierry Boileau. [API changes] - Added attachDefault(Restlet) method to Router class. The detach() method now also detaches the default scorer. - Deprecated the StringTemplate mechanism, replaced by a more seamless ReferenceTemplate approach, less intrusive. The following classes were deprecated and will be removed in the next release: StringTemplate, StringTemplateRepresentation, CallModel, Model, MapModel. - Renamed ReferenceList.getRepresentation() to getTextRepresentation(). - Tag now extends Metadata, getOpaqueTag() was deprecated, use getName() instead. - The query part of request's resource reference is now routable. WARNING: you may have to revisit your router URI patterns, especially to remove the ending "$" characters. - Directory.getDirectoryVariants() now returns a textual list in addition of a HTML doc. - org.restlet.Restlet class now overrides org.restlet.Dispatcher to facilate client-side invocation of filters such as Redirector. - Language class now supports several sub-tags. "MainTag" property renamed to "PrimaryTag". Contributed by Thierry Boileau. - Improved and expanded support for the "Allow" HTTP header all over the API and NRE. - The LogService, Redirector, Route and context Dispatcher are all based on the same template mechanism and syntax provided by org.restlet.util.Template. - Removed Chainer class and spread logic in Filter and Router classes. - Added getRemainingPart() method to Reference, reusing the getRelativePart() logic previously in Request. - Moved Request.baseRef and relativeRef properties to resourceRef.baseRef and resourceRef.relativeRef. - Added Request.hostRef property carrying the HTTP Host header info or equivalent. - Moved Resource.allowedMethods property to Response.allowedMethods. - Refactored Handler to simplify support of additional methods. Made abstract to force overriding of findTarget() method. Added introspection of target resource's allow* methods to populate Response.allowedMethods. Removed defaultHandle() method. - Removed Representation.resource property, not used anymore. - Removed Result.set* methods to make it more obvious that it is not intended to be modified. - Removed Extractor and Scorer classes, added Route class as a unified replacement. - Renamed Router.*scorer* properties to *route*. - Renamed ScorerList to RouteList. - Renamed VirtualHost.base* properties to host*. - Merged Container into Component as Component was almost never used separately. Retained the Component name for the final class as it is the REST terminology. - Renamed Directory.rootUri to rootRef for consistency purpose. - Renamed ReferenceList.listRef into identifier - Renamed Result.redirectionRef into redirectRef - Router.attach*() methods now return the created Route instance. - Added Series a generic interface extending List to handle series of Parameter, Cookie and CookieSetting instances. - Added AbstractSeries based on previous ParameterList logic. [Enhancements] - Updated Jetty 6.1 to RC1 version. - Added a root "docs" directory with the UML diagrams (using StarUML), the Joint Copyright Assignment for contributors. - Added a "org.restlet.http.version" attribute for request served by HTTP connectors exposing this information.
