3.3.5

Full Changelog: 3.3.4...3.3.5

Optimizations & Updates

• Memory Management: Introduced the Luminova\Utils\WeakReference class and leveraged PHP's WeakMap for better memory management by efficiently handling short-lived objects, improving garbage collection, and enhancing performance.

• Page Caching: Improved page caching to handle page caching effectively.

• Template Rendering: Optimized the template view rendering class to terminate early when caching is enabled and valid. Renamed private methods with prefix and suffix lmv to avoid conflicts with application classes, and incorporated WeakMap for exported classes.

• View Response: Enhanced the Luminova\Template\Response class by removing sendHeaders method and implementing the feature into the send method, allowing validation control via an argument. Removed redundant methods parameters, utilizing class properties instead.

• Router Class: Updated the router's static page cache method handler to display performance profiling in development mode while serving static content.

• PHP Attribute Compiler: Refined for better performance and memory management, particularly in generating and caching route attributes.

• Request Header: Renamed the Luminova\Http\Header method parseHeaders to validate for better clarity in conveying its functionality.

• Content Encoding: Improved the Luminova\Http\Encoder class for more efficient handling of content encoding and decoding. Introduced the getEncoding method to determine the correct encoding based on the request headers or default environment variables, and the getHandler method to retrieve the appropriate encoding or decoding handler function.

3.3.4

Full Changelog: 3.3.3...3.3.4

New Features

• Async Background Task Queue Class: Added a new method, onResponse, to allow the registration of a callback that handles the response after each task execution. The callback receives the current result, previous cumulative results, and the instance of the Luminova\Utils\Queue class.

• Array Merge Result Function: Introduced the array_merge_result function, enabling easy merging of responses of any data type into an existing results variable.

• Temporal Directory Function: Added the get_temp_dir function, which creates and returns the system's temporary directory or file name.

---

Optimizations & Updates

• Asynchronous Queue Class: Optimized for efficient background task handling with optional support for PHP 8.1 Fiber. If Fiber is unavailable, it attempts to use pcntl_fork. If neither is available, it gracefully falls back to the default implementation.

• Process Executor Class: Enhanced for efficient process management with optional support for PHP 8.1 Fiber. When Fiber is unavailable, it defaults to the standard implementation.

• HTTP Socket Server Class: Improved to efficiently manage simultaneous connections and optimize the execution lifecycle.

• Command Execution Helper Class: Enhanced the flush method to correctly handle cases where the output exceeds the terminal window width and wraps. By passing the last output text as an argument to the flush method, it ensures that the wrapped output is properly cleared from the terminal.

• Sitemap Generator: Optimized sitemap and introduce new configuration public property $scanSpeed, to controller the delay for downloading content from each URL, impacting the overall speed of the sitemap generation process.

---

To-Dos

1. Sitemap Configuration:

In your Sitemap Configuration Class, add new property $scanSpeed if it doesn't already exist.

// /app/Config/Sitemap.php
<?php
namespace App\Config;

use \Luminova\Base\BaseConfig;

final class Sitemap extends BaseConfig
{ 
    /**
     * The number of seconds to wait before moving to the next URL during sitemap generation.
     * 
     * This value determines the delay for downloading content from each URL, impacting the overall speed
     * of the sitemap generation process. The minimum allowed value is 1 second.
     *
     * @var int $scanSpeed The delay time in seconds for each URL scan.
     * @since 3.3.4
     */
    public int $scanSpeed = 5;
		
	// Other Properties
}

3.3.3

Full Changelog: 3.3.1...3.3.3

New Features

• HTTP Server: Introduced a new module for creating a simple and flexible HTTP server. This module allows you to open a socket connections to listen for incoming requests, including support for WebSocket and Socket.IO requests. It also has routing capability to route request and handle real-time communications effectively.

• Routing: Introduced support for a generic method ANY (or Router::ANY_METHODS), enabling routing for any HTTP method, including custom request methods. This enhancement improves performance by allowing a single index to handle all methods instead of creating separate indexes for each HTTP method (e.g., GET|POST|PUT|DELETE|PATCH, etc.). By using ANY, the router efficiently manages routes, reducing overhead and improve request handling.

• Routing Strict Segment Placeholders : Added support for strict placeholder patterns to specify route segment with strict matching, in both CLI and HTTP routing. This is also applicable to both Attribute and Router method-based routing.

• Routing Prefix Attribute: Introduced support for the Prefix attribute, allowing you to define specific URI patterns or prefixes that a controller class is allowed to handle. This ensures that all routes within the controller are scoped under a common path, providing better organization and easier management of routes in larger applications. It is particularly useful for grouping related routes, such as versioned API endpoints or modular components of the application.

---

Optimizations & Updates

• HTTP Request Class: Enhanced the HTTP request constructor to support the creation of custom HTTP request objects, including request methods, headers, body, and files. Improved the capturing of incoming requests for better performance, incorporating support for Stringable interface to convert the request body to a string.

• Routes Attribute Compiler: This class has been optimized to efficiently handle controller classes with a defined Prefix attribute, ensuring that routes are properly scoped and organized. It also processes attributes more effectively, by storing cached attributes by prefix resulting in improved performance.

• NovaKit Command Enhancements: The create:controller command now supports the HMVC modular pattern. A new argument -module has been introduced to specify the module name when generating controller classes.

• Rest API Headers: Optimized header validations for API's endpoint.
