Nothing new, just included in 2.3.2

2.2.1 RC2 (November 14th, 2008)

Fixed that ActiveResource#post would post an empty string when it shouldn't be posting anything #525 Paolo Angelini

Improve documentation. Ryan Bigg, Jan De Poorter, Cheah Chu Yeow, Xavier Shay, Jack Danger Canty, Emilio Tagua, Xavier Noria, Sunny Ripert
Use HEAD instead of GET in exists? bscofield

2.0.2 (December 16th, 2007)

Added more specific exceptions for 400, 401, and 403 (all descending from ClientError so existing rescues will work) #10326 trek
Correct empty response handling. #10445 seangeo

2.0.1 (December 7th, 2007)

Don't cache net/http object so that ActiveResource is more thread-safe. Closes #10142 kou
Update XML documentation examples to include explicit type attributes. Closes #9754 Josh Susser

Added one-off declarations of mock behavior [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:

Before:
  ActiveResource::HttpMock.respond_to do |mock|
    mock.get "/people/1.xml", {}, "<person><name>David</name></person>"
  end

Now:
  ActiveResource::HttpMock.respond_to.get "/people/1.xml", {}, "<person><name>David</name></person>"

Added ActiveResource.format= which defaults to :xml but can also be set to :json [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:

class Person < ActiveResource::Base
  self.site   = "http://app/"
  self.format = :json
end

person = Person.find(1) # => GET http://app/people/1.json
person.name = "David"
person.save             # => PUT http://app/people/1.json {name: "David"}

Person.format = :xml
person.name = "Mary"
person.save             # => PUT http://app/people/1.json <person><name>Mary</name></person>

Fix reload error when path prefix is used. #8727 Ian Warshak
Remove ActiveResource::Struct because it hasn't proven very useful. Creating a new ActiveResource::Base subclass is often less code and always clearer. #8612 Josh Peek
Fix query methods on resources. Cody Fauser
pass the prefix_options to the instantiated record when using find without a specific id. Closes #8544 Eloy Duran
Recognize and raise an exception on 405 Method Not Allowed responses. #7692 Josh Peek

Handle string and symbol param keys when splitting params into prefix params and query params.

Comment.find(:all, :params => { :article_id => 5, :page => 2 }) or Comment.find(:all, :params => { 'article_id' => 5, :page => 2 })

Added find-one with symbol [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example: Person.find(:one, :from => :leader) # => GET /people/leader.xml

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Changed the finder API to be more extensible with :params and more strict usage of scopes [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Changes:

Person.find(:all, :title => "CEO")      ...becomes: Person.find(:all, :params => { :title => "CEO" })
Person.find(:managers)                  ...becomes: Person.find(:all, :from => :managers)
Person.find("/companies/1/manager.xml") ...becomes: Person.find(:one, :from => "/companies/1/manager.xml")

Add support for setting custom headers per Active Resource model Rick Olson

class Project headers['X-Token'] = 'foo' end

# makes the GET request with the custom X-Token header Project.find(:all)

Added find-by-path options to ActiveResource::Base.find [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Examples:

employees = Person.find(:all, :from => "/companies/1/people.xml") # => GET /companies/1/people.xml
manager   = Person.find("/companies/1/manager.xml")               # => GET /companies/1/manager.xml

Added support for using classes from within a single nested module [David Heinemeier Hansson]. Example:

module Highrise
  class Note < ActiveResource::Base
    self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
  end

  class Comment < ActiveResource::Base
    self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000"
  end
end

assert_kind_of Highrise::Comment, Note.find(1).comments.first

Added load_attributes_from_response as a way of loading attributes from other responses than just create David Heinemeier Hansson
```
class Highrise::Task < ActiveResource::Base
  def complete
    load_attributes_from_response(post(:complete))
  end
end
```
...will set "done_at" when complete is called.

Added support for calling custom methods #6979 rwdaigle

Person.find(:managers)    # => GET /people/managers.xml
Kase.find(1).post(:close) # => POST /kases/1/close.xml

Remove explicit prefix_options parameter for ActiveResource::Base#initialize. Rick Olson ActiveResource splits the prefix_options from it automatically.
Allow ActiveResource::Base.delete with custom prefix. Rick Olson
Add ActiveResource::Base#dup Rick Olson
Fixed constant warning when fetching the same object multiple times David Heinemeier Hansson
Added that saves which get a body response (and not just a 201) will use that response to update themselves David Heinemeier Hansson
Disregard namespaces from the default element name, so Highrise::Person will just try to fetch from "/people", not "/highrise/people" David Heinemeier Hansson
Allow array and hash query parameters. #7756 Greg Spurrier
Loading a resource preserves its prefix_options. #7353 Ryan Daigle
Carry over the convenience of #create from ActiveRecord. Closes #7340. Ryan Daigle
Increase ActiveResource::Base test coverage. Closes #7173, #7174 Rich Collins
Interpret 422 Unprocessable Entity as ResourceInvalid. #7097 dkubb
Mega documentation patches. #7025, #7069 rwdaigle
Base.exists?(id, options) and Base#exists? check whether the resource is found. #6970 rwdaigle
Query string support. untext, Jeremy Kemper # GET /forums/1/topics.xml?sort=created_at Topic.find(:all, :forum_id => 1, :sort => 'created_at')
Base#==, eql?, and hash methods. == returns true if its argument is identical to self or if it's an instance of the same class, is not new?, and has the same id. eql? is an alias for ==. hash delegates to id. Jeremy Kemper

Allow subclassed resources to share the site info Rick Olson, Jeremy Kemper d class BeastResource < ActiveResource::Base self.site = 'http://beast.caboo.se' end

class Forum < BeastResource
  # taken from BeastResource
  # self.site = 'http://beast.caboo.se'
end

class Topic < BeastResource
  self.site += '/forums/:forum_id'
end

Fix issues with ActiveResource collection handling. Closes #6291. bmilekic
Use attr_accessor_with_default to dry up attribute initialization. References #6538. Stuart Halloway
Add basic logging support for logging outgoing requests. Jamis Buck
Add Base.delete for deleting resources without having to instantiate them first. Jamis Buck
Make #save behavior mimic AR::Base#save (true on success, false on failure). Jamis Buck
Add Basic HTTP Authentication to ActiveResource (closes #6305). jonathan
Extracted #id_from_response as an entry point for customizing how a created resource gets its own ID. By default, it extracts from the Location response header.

Optimistic locking: raise ActiveResource::ResourceConflict on 409 Conflict response. Jeremy Kemper

# Example controller action
def update
  @person.save!
rescue ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError
  render :xml => @person.reload.to_xml, :status => '409 Conflict'
end

Basic validation support Rick Olson

Parses the xml response of ActiveRecord::Errors#to_xml with a similar interface to ActiveRecord::Errors.
```
render :xml => @person.errors.to_xml, :status => '400 Validation Error'
```
Deep hashes are converted into collections of resources. Jeremy Kemper Person.new :name => 'Bob', :address => { :id => 1, :city => 'Portland' }, :contacts => [{ :id => 1 }, { :id => 2 }] Looks for Address and Contact resources and creates them if unavailable. So clients can fetch a complex resource in a single request if you e.g. render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include => [:address, :contacts]) in your controller action.
Major updates Rick Olson
- Add full support for find/create/update/destroy
- Add support for specifying prefixes.
- Allow overriding of element_name, collection_name, and primary key
- Provide simpler HTTP mock interface for testing
  
  rails routing code
  
  map.resources :posts do |post| post.resources :comments end

  class Post < ActiveResource::Base self.site = "http://37s.sunrise.i:3000/" end

  @comment = Comment.new({:body => 'hello world'}, {:post_id => @post.id}) @comment.save
Base.site= accepts URIs. 200...400 are valid response codes. PUT and POST request bodies default to ''. Jeremy Kemper
Initial checkin: object-oriented client for restful HTTP resources which follow the Rails convention. David Heinemeier Hansson
