In 3.0 there was some confusion about whether DataLists and ArrayLists
were mutable or not. If DataLists were immutable, they'd return the result, and your code
would look like
$list = $list->filter(....);
If DataLists were mutable, they'd operate on themselves, returning nothing, and your code
would look like
$list->filter(....);
This makes all DataLists and ArrayList immutable for all _searching_ operations.
Operations on DataList that modify the underlying SQL data store remain mutating.
- These functions no longer mutate the existing object, and if you do not capture the value
returned by them will have no effect:
ArrayList#reverse
ArrayList#sort
ArrayList#filter
ArrayList#exclude
DataList#dataQuery (use DataList#alterDataQuery to modify dataQuery in a safe manner)
DataList#where
DataList#limit
DataList#sort
DataList#addFilter
DataList#applyFilterContext
DataList#innerJoin
DataList#leftJoin
DataList#find
DataList#byIDs
DataList#reverse
- DataList#setDataQueryParam has been added as syntactic sugar around the most common
cause of accessing the dataQuery directly - setting query parameters
- RelationList#setForeignID has been removed. Always use RelationList#forForeignID
when querying, and overload RelationList#foreignIDList when subclassing.
- Relatedly,the protected variable RelationList->foreignID has been removed, as the ID is
now stored on a query parameter. Use RelationList#getForeignID to read it.
This is a measure to support form fields and controllers
interacting with files in different contexts,
for example an UploadField used in a ModelAdmin,
or a website frontend. The check for 'CMS_ACCESS_AssetAdmin'
was too restricting. This wasn't a problem in 2.x simply because
the old FileField/Upload classes didn't respect File->can*()
permissions.
Use third party tools like XHProf instead.
Removed defunct or unnecessary debug GET parameters:
debug_profile, debug_memory, profile_trace, debug_javascript, debug_behaviour
