Massively huge *BREAKING CHANGES*

[David Pollak]

Folks,

I just committed a huge set of changes to Lift:

• net.liftweb.util is broken out into its own stand-alone lift-util pacakge/JAR
• net.liftweb.mapper is broken out into its own stand-alone lift-mapper package/JAR
• net.liftweb.machine is broken out into its own stand-alone lift-machine package/JAR
• net.liftweb.record is broken out into its own stand-alone lift-record package/JAR

If you are using any of those packages (99% chance you are), you must make sure your pom.xml has the following in the <dependencies> tag:

   <dependency>
      <groupId>net.liftweb</groupId>
      <artifactId>lift-util</artifactId>
      <version>0.10-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>net.liftweb</groupId>
      <artifactId>lift-webkit</artifactId>
      <version>0.10-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>net.liftweb</groupId>
      <artifactId>lift-mapper</artifactId>
      <version>0.10-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>

LiftRules.TemplatePF has been removed and Lift's template look-up mechanism has been unified in LiftRules.ViewDispatchPF:
  type ViewDispatchPF = PartialFunction[List[String], Either[() => Can[NodeSeq], LiftView]]

The ProtoUser's templates method has been removed.  The LiftRules.addTemplateBefore(User.templates) will cause a compiler error.  It may be removed.  Additionally, the S.addArround(User.requestLoans) line will cause a compiler error.  It may be removed.

If you are using ProtoUser and have subclassed any menu creation methods, the Loc() in the menus must now contain a Template() item to render the proper template:

  def logoutMenuLoc: Can[Menu] =
  Full(Menu(Loc("Logout", logoutPath, S.??("logout"),
                Template(() => wrapIt(logout)),
                testLogginIn)))

Please note the highlighted line.  It contains Template(() => wrapIt(logout))  Each of your menu items must contain a similar line.

Questions?

Thanks,

David

Excellent - this has been needed for some time and is a very welcome
addition :-)

It might be obvious to everyone, but my strained eyes didn't catch the
extra <dependency> tag in the above snippet and I scratched my head
for a few minutes trying to figure out what went wrong. Just a little
heads-up to the casual reader who may just cut-and-paste.

... idem for machine and record.

Matt, Is it clearer ?

Yep -- I just meant that the original snippet contained a trailing
<dependency> tag, probably from the entry for Derby since that's
typically the next one down in pom.xml.
