0.5.2
Performance Improvements
From 0.5.1 to 0.5.2 we have implemented a series of micro-optimizations. As a result, Mojito is twice as fast, uses half the memory footprint, and takes half the time to boot the application based on our internal metrics. More information can be found on our Trello board. This improves the response time to ~40ms response time for an application with 52 mojits, which represents less than 1ms per mojit.
Comments in JSON files and YAML Support
Configuration files, including application.json, defaults.json, definition.json, etc., can become pretty big for complex applications, and not having comments can drastically impact productivity and on-boarding for new developers. As of this version, we support comments in those files. The comments are YAML comments, they start with #.
As well, we just brought back support for .yml and .yaml that was previously introduced in Mojito 0.4.x.
Logs Formatter
In 0.5.0, we removed the mojito logger and started using YUI Log in its pure form. As a result of the formatting process implemented by the yui-log-nodejs module, the logs were formatted even when the application was running in a runtime without tty. This was partially fixed in this new version (for runtime execution where performance is critical), and we plan to finish the migration for the Resource Store's logs in 0.5.3.
