## What's New in 2.0.0? ##

See [API Changes from 1.5 to 2.0](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/APIChangesFrom1_5To2_0.html) on the Infusion docs site, as well as
[Deprecations in 1.5](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/DeprecationsIn1_5.html).
See [API Changes from 1.5 to 2.0](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/APIChangesFrom1_5To2_0.html) and [Deprecations in 1.5](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/DeprecationsIn1_5.html) on the [Infusion Documentation](https://github.com/fluid-project/infusion-docs) site.

For a complete list of Fixes and Improvements see the [Version 2.0](https://issues.fluidproject.org/projects/FLUID/versions/10041) summary in the [JIRA](https://issues.fluidproject.org) issue tracker.

### New Features

* [FLUID-5249: Instantiation of all components in a single-rooted component tree](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5249)
* [FLUID-5495: IoCSS expressions matching upwards in the first component, and support for root context /](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5495)
* [FLUID-5241: New "ContextAwareness" grades and API](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5241)
* [FLUID-5264: progressiveCheckerForComponent does not respond at instantiation](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5264) (implementation is abolished)
* [FLUID-5733: `fluid.notImplemented` function for implementing abstract grades](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5733)
* [FLUID-5506: Constraint-based priority scheme to compute order of notifying listeners (and others)](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5506)

### Bug Fixes and Improvements

* [FLUID-5714: The framework does not correctly merge invoker specifications when both "func" and "funcName" are used](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5714)
* [FLUID-5184: Cannot override a this-ist invoker with a that-ist one](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5184)
* [FLUID-5621: Improve `distributeOptions` so that priority of distributions can be precisely controlled](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5621)
* [FLUID-5587: Framework should support namespaced options distributions rather than an array](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5587)
* [FLUID-5226: `fluid.isPlainObject()` is not powerful to detect objects which are only exotic by virtue of constructor](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5226)
* [FLUID-5717: Merge policies contributed via dynamic grades do not operate correctly](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5717)
* [FLUID-5615: Grade closure algorithm for dynamic grades is faulty](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5615) (partial fix)
* [FLUID-5742: Dynamic components do not respond to dynamic `typeName` or `gradeNames`](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5742)
* [FLUID-5694: Diagnostic when injecting component to its own location](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5694)
* [FLUID-5696: Failure to gingerly instantiate injection records](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5696)
* [FLUID-5664: Renderer fails to respect rebinding of model reference](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5664)
* [FLUID-5671: Memory exhaustion possible during `fluid.fail` on node.js (`fluid.prettyPrintJSON`)](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5671)
* [FLUID-5582: Improve flexibility of `fluid.fail` handling further](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5582)
* [FLUID-5667: Circularity in material sent for options expansion is not detected](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5667)
* [FLUID-5711: The Infusion core framework doesn't work when run in a Web Worker](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5711)
* [FLUID-5509: Storing NaN via a "new-style applier" will cause infinite recursion in DataBinding](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5509)
* [FLUID-5675: Text To Speech enactor should be supplied with a mock implementation to facilitate integration testing](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5675)
* Constraint-based priorities, supported by `listeners`, `modelListeners`, `modelRelay`, `distributeOptions`, `contextAwareness`, and `components`
* Context Awareness - and things it relies on:
* Global Instantiator
* Every Infusion component, regardless of how it is instantiated, ends up in a single-rooted tree of components
* This enables use of modern IoC features such as model relay and declarative event binding
* Enables use of the root distributeOptions context "/"
* Enables the removal of "demands blocks"
* Useful debugging tip: Watch `fluid.globalInstantiator` in your JS debugging tools to see the structure of your application and its tree.
* `fluid.notImplemented` function for implementing abstract grades
* [Lazy loading UI Options](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/UserInterfaceOptionsAPI.html#lazyload) and instructions for how to use the Prefernces Framework with a [minimal footprint](http://docs.fluidproject.org/infusion/development/tutorial-prefsFrameworkMinimalFootprint/MinimalFootprint.html).
* This should assist in improving performance when using the Preferences Framework, particularly for resource intensive sites and applications
* Much faster invokers and boiled listeners (c. 60x faster)
* NPM - "dists" directory containing pre-built versions of Infusion
* Source Maps are generated for the concatenated JavaScript files
* View oriented IoC debugging tools
* FluidViewDebugging.js - include this at the head of your HTML file to get access to the "IoC inspector"

### Removals

* [FLUID-5616: "init functions" removed from the framework](https://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-5616)
* Also removed: the static and dynamic environments, dynamic invokers, old ChangeApplier, autoInit, etc.
* Manual lifecycle points finalInit, postInit, etc.
* Obsolete syntax for arguments, options, etc.
* `"autoInit"` grade
* Static and dynamic environments, replaced by Global Instantiator
* The old model component hierarchy and "old ChangeApplier" implementation
* `fluid.demands`
* No more distinction between fast and dynamic invokers
* Model Relay specific component grades have been removed, model relay now works with any model grade.

**Note:** Infusion 1.9 was never (so far) an official release of Infusion, but was a "last ditch" branching point to record the state of the framework, should
we ever require to make a release or backport fixes to a version of Infusion API compatible with the latest 1.x line, most particularly 1.5.x.
It is stored in github at [Infusion 1.9.x](https://github.com/fluid-project/infusion/tree/1.9.x)

This list of JIRAs is nonexhaustive since work has accumulated in trunk for several years since the 1.5 Infusion release. These are some of the more significant recent fixes,
currently not including work on the preferences framework:
