Adds ability to provide API documentation, completing planned features for the
1.0 stable release.

  • Changes minimum supported PHP version to 5.3.23, in line with the upcoming
    ZF 2.3.0. We still recommend 5.4.8 for serving the admin user interface.

  • New modules, zf-apigility-documentation and
    zf-apigility-documentation-swagger,
    providing documentation visualizations of APIs created with Apigility. The
    base module provides both JSON and HTML visualizations via the URI
    /apigility/documentation, based on the Accept header value present.
    zf-apigility-documentation-swagger provides an additional JSON visualization
    for the mediatype application/vnd.swagger+json, for seeding a Swagger
    UI
    installation; additionally, it
    provides the Swagger UI via /apigility/swagger.

    zf-apigility-documentation is enabled by default in zf-apigility-skeleton;
    zf-apigility-documentation-swagger is an opt-in module.

  • The /admin and /welcome routes are now removed! The admin UI now uses
    /apigility/ui, and the welcome screen uses /apigility/welcome. New routes
    for documentation are also available, as detailed above.

  • A new module was created for Apigility-specific interfaces,
    zf-apigility-provider.
    The primary use case is for composition in modules that may or may not be
    consumed by Apigility (e.g., a general-purpose module that could be composed
    into many projects). The only interface currently is
    ZF\Apigility\Provider\ApigilityProviderInterface, which replaces
    Zend\Apigility\ApigilityModuleInterface (and thus prevents the necessity of
    installing all Apigility modules just to implement the interface!).

  • A new module was introduced for handling development mode,
    zf-development-mode;
    this is a fork of NFDevelopmentMode,
    which was based off the equivalent functionality in zf-apigility-skeleton's
    Application module. We removed the functionality from the skeleton, and
    added a dependency on the new module.

  • zf-apigility-skeleton's layout was updated to match that of the admin UI.

  • zf-apigility-admin received numerous updates:

    • Ability to add documentation of services, fields, and operations.
    • Ability to use MongoDB when configuring an
      OAuth2 authentication adapter.
    • Ability to inspect, add, configure, and delete zf-content-negotiation
      selectors.
    • Links to HTML documentation of APIs managed by the Apigility instance
      (more on this below).
    • Ability to create and manipulate filter chains for each field in a
      service.
    • (Limited) detection of whether or not an opcode cache is enabled; if
      detected, a modal dialog will be presented to the end-user detailing how
      to disable it.
    • Completely overhauled and refactored admin UI application to ease
      maintenance and feature additions. The admin UI now uses
      Bower for managing UI asset dependencies, and
      Grunt for building the UI distribution. We have
      dropped ng-route for the angular-ui
      ui-router
      , providing us with
      more flexibility in UI implementation and layout. All services,
      controllers, and directives have been moved into their own files.
    • Countless UI/UX improvements.
  • zf-apigility-welcome has been updated to use the Apigility "Rocket ElePHPant"
    logo for the splash screen, and to provide buttons to the HTML and Swagger
    documentation, if the appropriate modules are available.

  • zf-rest and zf-rpc now each store a service_name key in the configuration
    for each service.
    While efforts have been made to ensure existing
    configuration still works, we recommend adding this key to each service. The
    value should be the short name representation for the service, usually the
    name you provided when creating the service.

  • All repositories have been updated to make a clean distinction between the
    terms "Entity", "Collection", and "Resource".
    An "Entity" is anything
    addressable via a URI containing a unique identifier. A "Collection" is any
    URI that returns a set of entities. A "Resource" refers to a URI that may
    return collections and/or entities. As such, we have several BC breaks:

    • The event renderResource is now renderEntity.
    • The event renderCollection.resource is now renderCollection.entity.
    • ZF\Hal\Resource was renamed to ZF\Hal\Entity.
    • The subkey resource in the zf-mvc-auth configuration is now entity.
    • The subkey resource_http_methods in zf-rest is now
      entity_http_methods.
    • The subkey resource_class in zf-rest is now entity_class.
    • The subkey resource_identifier_name in zf-rest is now
      entity_identifier_name. (This change only affects those who have been
      using latest master, but have not updated since late-January 2014.)
    • The subkey identifier_name in zf-apigility db-connected configuration
      is now entity_identifier_name;
  • zf-hal now properly differentiates between the identifier used in the route
    definition, and the identifier used for the entity; this allows you to use one
    value on the uri -- e.g., status_id -- and another in your entity class --
    e.g., id. zf-hal will fallback to the route_identifier_name if no
    entity_identifier_name is present.

  • zf-apigility, when detecting an input filter is present, will pull values from
    the input filter, and not use any other values even if provided in the
    request. This prevents SQL errors due to unknown columns.

    Additionally, zf-apigility's assets were updated, and a Grunt + Bower
    toolchain provided for keeping them up-to-date.

  • zf-rest, when detecting an input filter is present for the current request,
    will inject it into the ResourceEvent, allowing developers to retrieve it
    via $this->getEvent()->getInputFilter().

    Additionally, support for patchList was added to the
    AbstractResourceListener.

  • zf-api-problem was updated to match Problem
    API draft 5
    .
    This has changed the internal structure and JSON representation of problem
    results. If you were manipulating ApiProblem objects directly previously,
    you may need to alter your code.
