ApostropheCMS v2.64.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-08-31 // over 5 years ago

  • ✅ Unit tests passing.

    ✅ Regression tests passing.

    • 👌 Improved Apostrophe's ability to redisplay the appropriate widget, array element, and field and call the user's attention to it when a schema field error is not detected until server-side validation takes place. This addresses problems that come up when fields become required at a later time, and/or data was originally created with an earlier release of Apostrophe that did not enforce required in all situations. Browser-side validation is still preferred for ease of use but server-side validation no longer creates situations the user cannot easily resolve.

    • Introduced the apos.global.whileBusy method. This method accepts a function to be run while no one is permitted to access the site. The provided function may return a promise, and that promise resolves before the site becomes accessible again. In the presence of apostrophe-workflow it is possible to mark only one locale as busy.

    • 🔒 By default, the apos.locks.lock method waits until the lock is available before proceeding. However there is now a wait option which can be set to false to avoid waiting at all, or to any number of milliseconds. If the method fails because of wait, the error is the string locked.

    • 🔒 The apos.locks.lock method also now accepts a waitForSelf option. By default, if the same process invokes apos.locks.lock for the same lock in two requests simultaneously, one of the two will receive an error. With waitForSelf, the second invocation will wait for the first to resolve and then obtain the lock.
