Chaplin 0.7.0 (February 19, 2013)

  • Added support of regions and regions composition with Chaplin.Composer. Composer grants the ability for views (and related data) to be persisted beyond one controller action.
  • Improved Chaplin.Controller:
    • Query string params are now passed to controllers (a feature removed from Backbone 0.9.9).
    • Controller actions will now receive an options hash as second argument, that contains path, previousControllerName and routing options. Previously, the second argument was just a previousControllerName string.
    • Fixed Controller#redirectTo signature (url, options).
    • Controller#dispose will now unbind all events bound by listenTo method.
  • Improved Chaplin.Dispatcher:
    • Stop waiting for a Promise returned by a before action when another route is dispatched or the same is dispatched again.
  • Improved Chaplin.Router:
    • The params and options objects are copied instead of changed to prevent conflicts. If you pass params and options along with the !router:route event, the controller action will receive a copy of them. Same for Dispatcher.
    • Fixed root option.
    • Fixed route reversals on empty patterns (for example, the top-level route).
  • Improved Chaplin.Collection:
    • Collection#dispose will now unbind all events bound by listenTo method.
    • Removed Collection#addAtomic as it was barely used.
  • Improved Chaplin.Model:
    • Model#serialize can be overridden on Backbone.Models. Chaplin will use it, if available, and Model#toJSON if not.
    • Model#dispose will now unbind all events bound by listenTo method.
    • Improved time complexity of Model#serialize from O(n) to amortized O(1).
  • Improved Chaplin.utils:
    • Added utils.getAllPropertyVersions that allows to gather all property versions from object’s prototypes.
    • Added utils.escapeRegExp that escapes all regular expression characters in string.
    • Removed utils.wrapMethod.
  • Improved Chaplin.View:
    • Added View#listen property that allows to declaratively listen to model / collection / mediator / view events. Just like Backbone’s View#events, which is only for DOM events.
    • Added new autoAttach option which determines whether view should be automatically attached to DOM after render.
    • Renamed View#afterRender to View#attach.
    • Removed View#afterInitialize.
    • Removed View#pass. Please use stickit instead for advanced model-view binding.
    • Switched to $el.toggle() instead of manual CSS display setting. Which means non-block elements will behave correctly.
    • Switched to Backbone.$ reference for DOM manipulation. This will automatically use jQuery, Zepto or Ender as DOM library.
    • Early error is now thrown when View#events is a function.
  • Improved Chaplin.CollectionView:
    • Renamed CollectionView#itemsResetted to CollectionView#itemsReset.
    • Renamed CollectionView#getView to CollectionView#initItemView.
    • Renamed CollectionView#showHideFallback to CollectionView#toggleFallback.
    • Renamed CollectionView#showHideLoadingIndicator to CollectionView#toggleLoadingIndicator.
    • Removed CollectionView#renderAndInsertItem.
    • Item views will now be called with autoRender: false, which prevents rendering them twice.
    • Item views will now emit addedToParent event instead of addedToDOM when they are appended to collection view.
    • Optimised performance by not calling jQuery / Zepto css / animate when animations are disabled.

Chaplin 0.6.0 (December 30, 2012)

  • Updated required Backbone version to 0.9.9+.
  • Improved Chaplin.Collection:
    • Removed Collection#update since this function is now provided by Backbone itself. The deep option is now called merge and it defaults to true.
  • Improved Chaplin.Controller:
    • Added Rails-like before action filters to Controllers.
    • Added Controller#redirectToRoute which works like Controller#redirectTo, but accepts route name instead of URL.
    • Added flexible Controller#adjustTitle method which sets window title.
    • Added Backbone.Events mix-in.
    • Removed Controller#title and Controller#historyURL.
    • Removed ability of redirecting to standalone controllers and action names in Controller#redirectTo.
  • Improved Chaplin.Router:
    • Added support for named routes.
    • Added new global !router:routeByName event, which allows to navigate to some route by its reverse name.
    • Added new global !router:reverse event, which allows to get URL of route by its name.
    • Added names option to Router#match, which allows to name route’s regular expression matches.
    • Removed global !startupController event.
  • Improved Chaplin.View:
    • Removed View#modelBind, View#modelUnbind and View#modelUnbindAll, since Backbone now implements superior Events.listenTo API.
    • Chaplin will now fix incorrect inheritance of view DOM events, bound in declarative manner (with events hash).
    • Moved View#wrapMethod to Chaplin.utils.wrapMethod.
    • View#dispose will now throw an error if View#initialize was called without super.
  • Improved Chaplin.CollectionView:
    • CollectionView#getTemplateData no longer returns items property, which increases performance.
  • Router options are now allowed to be passed in many places. New signatures are:
    • !router:route global event: path, options, callback (old sig is supported too)
    • Dispatcher#matchRoute: route, params, options
    • Controller#redirectTo: path or (controllerName, action, params, options)

Chaplin 0.5.0 (November 15, 2012)

  • Improved and stabilized codebase.
  • Moved Chaplin.Subscriber to Chaplin.EventBroker, which now mixins publishEvent method to children.
  • Added Chaplin.Delayer, which sets unique and named timeouts and intervals so they can be cleared afterwards when disposing objects.
  • Added autoRender option to Chaplin.CollectionView, like Chaplin.View. Defaults to true, replaces old render option.
  • Added serialize method to collections
  • Removed CollectionView#viewsByCid and CollectionView#removeView in favor of consistent View#subview and View#removeSubview.
  • Removed CollectionView#initSyncMachine.
  • Removed trigger, on and off methods from Chaplin.mediator.
  • Allowed passing of multiple event types to View#delegate.
  • Made various aspects of Chaplin.Layout configurable.

Chaplin 0.4.0 (June 28, 2012)

  • A lot of various global changes.
  • Added tests for all components.
  • Chaplin now can be used as a standalone library.

Chaplin 0.3.0 (March 23, 2012)

  • Bug fix: In CollectionView, get the correct item position when rendering the item view. Fixes the rendering of sorted Collections. Before the fix, the item views might have been displayed in the wrong order. (@rendez)

Chaplin 0.2.0 (March 09, 2012)

  • Fixed correct unsubscribing of global handlers when disposing a collection.
  • The codebase now uses consistent code style (@paulmillr).

Chaplin 0.1.0 (February 26, 2012)

  • Initial release.
