API: Deprecate SS_Datetime.
The DBField subclasses are have all been renamed to start with “DB” and
be in the SilverStripe\Model\FieldType namespace. To keep DataObject
definitions concise, the original short variations of their names are
preserved as service definitions. Most of the field generation code
doesn’t need to change, but where field classes are referenced directly,
changes will be needed.
SS_Datetime, which is commonly referenced outside the model system
itself, has been preserved as a subclass of DBDatetime. This has been
marked as deprecated and can be removed in SilverStripe 5.
A few places that referred to $db and $casting values weren’t using
the Injector to instantiate the relevant classes. This meant that the
remapping we have created as part of moving classes into a namespace
didn’t work.
API Implemented recursive versioned actions (publish, etc)
API Un-deprecate delete batch action
API Changed Versioned getters and setters for stages
BUG Inject query parameters during DataObject construction to prevent incorrect lazy loading
API: Whitespace trimmed from custom form field templates
The introduction of trailing newlines on all template files introduced
some changes that needed to be made.
Notably, whitespace has been trimmed from rendered form field templates.
This is the minimal impact to SilverStripe developers, as it preserves
the behaviour of the default field types, but I’ve still noted as a
change.
The main benefit of this is so that authors who make use of
.editorconfig don't end up with whitespace changes in their PRs.
Spaces vs. tabs has been left alone, although that could do with a
tidy-up in SS4 after the switch to PSR-1/2.
The command used was this:
for match in '*.ss' '*.css' '*.scss' '*.html' '*.yml' '*.php' '*.js' '*.csv' '*.inc' '*.php5'; do
find . -path ./thirdparty -not -prune -o -path ./admin/thirdparty -not -prune -o -type f -name "$match" -exec sed -E -i '' 's/[[:space:]]+$//' {} \+
find . -path ./thirdparty -not -prune -o -path ./admin/thirdparty -not -prune -o -type f -name "$match" | xargs perl -pi -e 's/ +$//'
done

Currently the only way the extend SSTemplateParser is to define a class
extension of it and then tell the injector component to use your new
custom class. This new change allows a user to define new "open blocks"
and "closed blocks" for SSTemplateParser to use without needing to
recompile the real SSTemplateParser class.
The following example shows how the functionality can be used
to add a new <% minify %>…<% end_minify %> syntax to the template parser
In a config.yml file, define the new minify closed block to call the
static function "Minifier::minify"
```
Injector:
SSTemplateParser:
properties:
closedBlocks:
minify: "Minifier::minify"
```
Define a new class with the minify static method that returns the new
template code when regenerating templates:
```
class Minifier {
public static function minify(&$res) {
return <<<PHP
{$res['Template']['php']}
\$val = zz\Html\HTMLMinify::minify(\$val, array('optimizationLevel' => zz\Html\HTMLMinify::OPTIMIZATION_ADVANCED));
PHP;
}
}
```
Since ViewableData was returning a casting helper for Link, but DataObject was
only using $this->$fieldname to set values on that casting helper, you could
not use <% if Link %> (or <% if $Link %>) in your templates because Link is not
a field, and thus had no value to be set on the casting helper, causing
hasValue to think that there was no value. Since DataObject->dbObject says that
"it only matches fields and not methods", it seems safe to have it call db(..)
to get the field spec, and not call ViewableData->castingHelper at all.
