CHANGELOG

Master (Unreleased)

0.15.0 - 2017-05-17

Changed

• Update for Rails 5.1

• When sorting entries by created_at, also sort by id descending. This is to ensure proper sorting of items for databases that do not store nanoseconds for timestamp columns.

Fixed

• When trying to delete a Mailboxer object, a NameError may be thrown due to a missing namespace

0.14.0 - 2016-07-29

Added

• Rails 5 compatibility.

Fixed

• Mailboxer::Message object no longer requires to have a subject.
• Objects are now saved before mails are sent, you you can use them in the mailer templates (to build URLs, for example).

Changed

• Errors are now stored in the parent message/notification instead of being stored in the sender receipt. That means you need handle mailboxer related controller and views differently, and study the upgrade case by case (propably by having a look at mailboxer's source code). As an example, if you were previously doing something like this in your controller:

@receipt = @actor.send_message(@recipients, params[:body], params[:subject])
if (@receipt.errors.blank?)
  @conversation = @receipt.conversation
  redirect_to conversation_path(@conversation)
else
  render :action => :new
end

you now need to do something like

@receipt = @actor.send_message(@recipients, params[:body], params[:subject])
@message = @receipt.message
if (@message.errors.blank?)
  @conversation = @message.conversation
  redirect_to conversation_path(@conversation)
else
  render :action => :new
end

This might look more complicated at first but allows you to build more RESTful resources since you can build forms on messages and/or conversations and directly show errors on them. Less specially handling is now required to propagate errors around models.
