V1.0.2-RC3
mouse-php v1.0.2-RC3 Release Notes
This release brings mouse-php to Release Candidate 3, moving us one step closer to our first full stable release. RC3 focuses heavily on refining the out-of-the-box authentication flow and streamlining the developer experience for decoupled frontends. To achieve this, we are officially introducing our new mRPC protocol, complete with a dedicated JavaScript library to make frontend-backend authentication and communication effortless.
New Features
-
mRPC Protocol & JS Library: Created the official mRPC specification, a new mRPC-compliant response utility for the backend, and a companion JavaScript library to easily integrate decoupled frontends.
-
Full Documentation: Comprehensive documentation is now officially included.
-
Squeak CLI Expansion: Added the
add-utilitycommand and new scaffolding capabilities to Squeak. -
PostgreSQL Support: Introduced a Postgres-specific version of the User model.
-
Handshake Security: Added Thundering Herd protection for the KLI handshake.
Updates & Enhancements
-
Lazy Database Connections: Major performance win, database connections are no longer opened until after the routing engine has successfully validated the route.
-
Database Utility Overhaul: Reworked and appropriately renamed the Database Utility to fully support PostgreSQL and pave the way for future database driver inclusions.
-
Auth Scaffolding Rework: Audited and reworked the basic authentication scaffold and its routing layer to match the new architectural approach. The scaffold now prompts you to pick a database-specific version of the model.
-
Welcome Page Polish: Cleaned up the footer layout, made the primary buttons and links point to the actual documentation/quick start guides, and updated the default code block text to be more useful out of the box.
Architecture & Breaking Changes
-
Decoupled Authentication: Authentication is no longer handled by an explicit tag in the routing data. To secure a route, simply place it inside the security
middlewaregroup. -
Middleware Data Injection: Middleware data is now directly injected into the
$REQUEST_DATAproperty, safely nested under the"middleware_data"key.
Bug Fixes
- Squeak Routing: Resolved an issue where Squeak would fail to operate correctly if the routing table was empty.
