CFWheels Version v2.3.0

This is the official 2.3.0 release. There were no new enhancements or bug fixes introduced from release candidate 1 so the change log is essentially the same as v2.3.0.rc.1.

CFWheels Version v2.3.0-rc.1

View Enhancements

• Adds association error support via includeAssociations argument #1080 - [Nikolaj Frey]

• Fixes some syntax formating introduced by cfformat [#1111] - [Adam Chapman]
• Minimum ColdFusion version is now ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 3 (2018,0,03,314033) / ColdFusion (2016 release) Update 10 (2016,0,10,314028) / ColdFusion 11 Update 18 (11,0,18,314030) #923 - [Michael Diederich]
• Wheels save(allowExplicitTimestamps=true) doesn't produce the expected result [#1113] - [SebastienFCT]

Potentially Breaking Changes

• Automatic Time Stamps: the deletedAt column was using the server's local time for the timestamp while createdAt / updatedAt were using the timestamp selected for the timestamp mode. The default for CFWheels' timestamp mode is UTC and therefore all future deletedAt timestamps will be in UTC unless you've changed the default. Please review any SQL that uses deletedAt for datetime comparison.

Potentially breaking changes

(Or, just things to look out for...)

• The plugins system behaviour no longer chains multiple functions of the same name as this was a major performance hit. It's recommended that plugin authors check their plugins to run on 2.1
